Chapter 01: Background of the Report

1.01 Introduction Stock market is the reflector of and countries economy system, and a broker house is

a reflector of stock market. Broker house is a licensed buyer and seller of stock and

securities for there clients. As a member of DSE the broker house does this service for

commission on each transaction. That means more transaction more commission for

houses and more wealth for it.

Before 1998 broker houses were not so active because people used to sell and buy

there paper share direct to buyer or seller hand to hand. This hand to hand transaction

was really a slow process and full of hustle. But after establishment of CDBL (Central

Depository of Bangladesh Limited) it was just a matter of click. Since then investor in

share market is increasing day by day, and activity of brokerage house is also

increasing. Its not that this increasing activity only bring wealth for brokerage houses

there is also enormous number of problem. Because houses have to deal with

thousands of people every day and every one have there own needs and wants. In my

whole internship period I have tried to identify problem which faces the brokerage

houses and the future prospect of a brokerage firm on the perspective Stock and bond

Ltd.

1.02 Scope of the study

This report is on the overall progress and problem of brokerage houses in Bangladesh.

It is obvious that this report can not discuss all the aspects of brokerage house because

the basis of this report is only one company. But because it is one of the leading

brokerage firms in Bangladesh Member of DSE, anyway it can give us an

understanding of how the brokerage houses are performing in Bangladesh.

1.03 Methodology

There are both primary and secondary information were used in this report. The

primary information were provided by SBL and allowed to show in public and the

secondary information was collected from several book journal and WebPages.

1.04 Limitation

It is observable that almost all studies have some boundaries. During performing my

work, I had to face a number of limitations.

There were some confidential issues like financial issues, for which they were

very strict and careful in revealing those information. Although they have provided

the financial statement but only the methods the numbers in the statement were

changed

Lack of enough materials like books, journals and other papers capture me for

severe brainstorming during working this report.

Chapter 02 Background of the company

2.01 History of Dhaka Stock Exchange

The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) was established as East Pakistan Stock Exchange

Association Limited on April 28, 1954. Formal trading of the bourse began in 1956.

On June 23, 1962, it was renamed as East Pakistan Stock Exchange Ltd. The name of

the stock exchange was once again changed to Dacca Stock Exchange Ltd on May 13,

1964. The service on the stock exchange continued uninterrupted until 1971. The

trading was suspended during the liberation war and resumed in 1976 with the change

in economic policy of the government.

Since then the bourse did not look back and continued its journey contributing to the

development activities of the nation. On August 10, 1998 the DSE introduced screen-

based state-of-the-art automated online real-time trading through Local Area Network

(LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). On January 24, 2004, Later the

DSE upgraded its automated trading system on August 21, 2005. Central Depository

System (CDS) for electronic settlement of share trading made a debut in the DSE on

1st January, 2004. In its 50-years journey the stock exchange has made significant

contribution to the economy of Bangladesh providing the unique platform to raise

funds for investment from the market. The stock exchange is in a relentless process of

modernization and up gradation of its systems and facilities to accommodate latest

technologies available. The SEC approved the Direct Listing Regulations-2006 as

proposed by the DSE which paved the way for direct listing of large and profitable

companies at offloading shares by government companies through the bourse.

Chapter 03 Prospect of Brokerage houses in Bangladesh

3.01 Interest among the industries to raise capital

There‟s an intense interest among the industries to raise capital form the capital

market. They are not going for traditional capital raising method like banks or the

borrowers. From every sector industries are enlisting there names in the DSE and CSE

to get money from general investors. It we see in the list of dse there were 236

companies were listed till December 2009 but now there is 254 companies listed. So

in last eight month 18 new company came to the market for raising there capital.

Among them Grameen phone was the largest one it raised approximate Tk. 13503mn

3.02 More investors in capital market

New investors are emerging day by day. In June 2008 CDBL had 1,076,252 Bo

account registered. In June 2009 the account increases almost 30.8% the amount

stands in 1,401,165. In the last published news in august 12 2010 the number of Bo

account increased in 2,695,916 which is almost increase of 92% approximate. This

increasing no of investor are coming from every section of economy. Small business

to big corporate giant every one is investing money in this sector.

3.03 More stability in market

The capital market has become more stable for couple of years. People has became

more aware on there investment. They are now more concern what the companies

performing in the business instead of running behind rumors. On the other hand rules

and regulation of DSE and CSE is helping to stability in the market. SEC is closely

monitoring on the activities on the companies also the investor to ensure a smooth and

clear capital market.

3.04 Constant growth on GDP

From 2004-2009 the GDP growth rate shows that it is growing in a constant of 5% to

6% every year. That means there is stability in the economy of Bangladesh. So there

are no huge ups and downs in economy. For that reason investors are felling safe to

use there money in the capital market.

Page 15: Problems and Prospect of Brokerage Houses in Bangladesh

15

3.05 Change in Bank deposit rate

From last decades deposit rate of the banks were quite high, which was actually more

then the actual growth rate of GDP. So it was really a safe investment for general

people just deposit a healthy amount in the banks and have a good amount from

interest. But recently BB has taken initiative to lower the deposit rate to lower the

interest rate of borrowing. So now people are not interested to put there money in the

banks. They are now going for investment by there either starting new business or

going for the capital market investment.

3.06 More foreign investment in DSE

Stability of economy and capital market has attracted the foreign investor in

Bangladesh capital market. And Establishment of CDBL has given a new opportunity

for foreign investors. Now people from outside of country can also invest directly to

DSE or CSE if they want by opening corporate account on any of the member of

them. According to the DSE, in 2007, net foreign or portfolio investment on the

Dhaka Stock Exchange surged 8.3x to $129 million. The banking sector, followed by

the power, pharmaceutical and cement sectors, received the most foreign investment.

In 2010 the number Bo account registered in CDBL is 116,348.

3.07 Investor from different region of Bangladesh

People for out side Dhaka division also showing there interest to invest in capital

market. That is why brokerage houses are opening branches in the major cities in

different division of Bangladesh. After Dhaka and Chittagong brokerage houses are

focusing in barishal sylhet Khulna etc.

Page 16: Problems and Prospect of Brokerage Houses in Bangladesh

16

3.08 Demand of new brokerage houses

Demand of new brokerage houses are increasing now. There are already 238 member

under Dhaka stock Exchange and 136 member under Chittagong stock exchange but

from the increasing number of investor the capacity of brokerage houses are full now.

Almost all of the firms have several offices in Dhaka city as well as other cities but

still 12000 Bo account average still is a big number.

3.09 Demand of financial advisors

Financial advisor is the single most important thing for capital market. Investors are

now willing looking for an advisor where they can go to understand on which share

will be good for there portfolio, how to maintain a healthy portfolio where to invest.

This is actually a time when the brokerage houses think to provide financial advising

as a part of there business.

Page 17: Problems and Prospect of Brokerage Houses in Bangladesh

17

Chapter 04 Problems of Brokerage houses in Bangladesh

4.01 Cost of opening a new brokerage house

The cost of opening a new brokerage is huge. To become a member of DSE now cost

almost Tk. 500 mn excluding the other cost, Deposit to CDBL is 5mn. So despite of

the increasing demand of new brokerage houses it is not possible to investor just start

one. There is another problem that DSE is not willing to give membership license in

near future. Despite of the membership cost it contains a huge portion of money on its

setup. So to start a new brokerage one should have Tk. 600mn-650mn which is not

easy for a person or company.

4.02 Rules and regulations of DSE

Brokerage houses are always under close monitoring of DSE and SEC. If DSE sees

any unusual activity they directly punished the brokerage houses, they don‟t see who

made the mistake is it the trader or client it just fine the house.

4.03 Rules and Regulation of CDBL

Central Depository Of Bangladesh has its own rules and regulation. Every day

brokerage have to report to there daily transaction of there clients. Every day after

reviewing the transaction a check has to be written and send CDBL as the howla and

laga charge. If there is any problem in the number it will straight fine or close the

transaction for several days which will conquer a huge loss for the firm and can create

tension among the clients.

4.04 Opening a new BO account

To open new BO account a person has to go over few requirements but for a

brokerage house it‟s a hustle. Cause if there is any information missed by that

particular person the brokerage house has to go for the same procedure again, and the

pressure is from both sides. CDBL will charge them that why there is information in

the form and client will complain why the firm didn‟t told them about the mistake in

the first place

Page 18: Problems and Prospect of Brokerage Houses in Bangladesh

18

4.05 BO account maintenance

Bo account maintenance is a great responsibility for the brokerage houses. Every

financial years end CDBL will charge the houses for the clients account. And after

that they have to raise the amount from every individual client. It‟s a very slow and

long process. After collecting the money the firms find that not every one has paid for

there account because some clients‟ have no transaction at all and they will not going

to have the renewal amount against that account, Which is ultimately a loss for the

brokerage firms.

4.06 Categorical difference of securities

Every day clients buy sale different category. There are four category in DSE most

common A,B,N, and Z category. A and B category share matures in four days and N

and Z category matures in 10 working days. Some time clients sell a Z category share

and buys an A category share which has a 6 days gap between maturity. So ultimately

it happens that brokerage houses end up paying for the client and they cant event

charge anything as loan or some other criteria. Some time trader prevents the client

not to do this but if traders don‟t pay much attention they end up to this kind of

situation.

4.07 Lack of knowledge among the new investors

Lack of knowledge among the investor is a common problem for the brokerage

houses. New investors has no place to learn about market they learn from other

investors or they run on it like a wild goose chase and end up with losing money.

There is no proper place where they can have the actual idea what is going on the

capital market so they are always running behind the rumors. so if a investor loss

money for some period he or she withdraw there money from market and firms lost

another clients. To overcome this situation the trader who places order in computer

helps the new investors. But its not sufficient cause a trader is a busy person who has

to stick there in the keyboard placing order.

Page 19: Problems and Prospect of Brokerage Houses in Bangladesh

19

4.08 Overpriced securities

Over the last couple of year the market size is growing intensively. Everyday new

people are investing in the capital market. But no of securities are not increasing to

mach the growing demand, result over pricing of the current securities. If this growth

of supply increases in this rate can lead to another disaster like 1996, and brokerage

houses will found them bankrupted.

4.09 Market manipulation

Market manipulation is a common term in the capital market. There is a group of

people who are the big fishes of capital market some time flooded up the market with

liquidity raising the prices of securities and then leave with profits and the small

investors end up with losing money. Although DSE and SEC is monitoring this kind

of situation but still if the capital market dose not increases no of securities there is

always a fear of market manipulations.

4.10 Lack of experienced manpower

Brokerage houses have a common problem on recruiting employ for there firms. Very

few people have chances to learn to work related to brokerage houses. Most the

employee doesn‟t had any knowledge before entering a house. The firms has to recruit

a new person then train them by there old employee and make them eligible to work

for there client which is a really long and slow process.

Page 20: Problems and Prospect of Brokerage Houses in Bangladesh

Chapter 05 Prospects of Stock and Bonds Ltd.

5.01 Growth in turnover

Stock and bonds Profit and loss account shows an instances growth in turnover from

June 2009 to may 2010. The change in turnover has a percentage change of 77% in

positive. That mean in one year the operating growth was positive 77%. It shows that

the growth of capital and the growth of stock and bond is positively related.

5.02 increasing number of clients

In May 2009 stock and bond have approximately 17000 BO account enlisted, and

after one year the BO account stands at approximately 31000. The percent change in

BO account is 82% which is almost equal to the increasing no of BO account of

CDBL.

5.03 Brunches in different region of Bangladesh

SBL has total 10 brunches among them two brunches are in different divisions of

Bangladesh. One is in Khulna and another is in Barishal which gives the access to

fulfill the demand of investors in those divisions. These branches have given SBL a

competitive advantage getting varies type of clients and make more profit from it.

5.04 Facility for the loyal clients

Like other big companies SBL gives extra facility to there loyal clients. They give

them private treading facility with there own trader. If the clients face any account

related problem even financial problem SBL take cares of them.

5.05 Introducing new technology

SBL is trying to introduce technological facility to there clients. SBL is developing

software which will notify the clients about the current position of there portfolio.

How many securities are matured who much money is idol etc.

Page 21: Problems and Prospect of Brokerage Houses in Bangladesh

21

5.06 Most experienced working force

SBL has a reputation to recruit the most experienced personal to do its job done.

Dealing with enormous no of client and also dealing with DSE and CDBL need

dedication and skills. The brokerage houses are closely monitored by the DSE so it is

the employee who has to be strict to maintain rules and regulation if there is one

mistake SBL have to pay the price of that mistake. But SBL is maintaining its

excellence on its work that‟s why it is one o the top 10 brokerage house in

Bangladesh.

5.07 Giving easy loan to its client

SBL gives investment loan to its client in really less condition with fewer

requirements. Although this loans are not counted in the name of SBL instead

Standard Bank Ltd. But the clients has to go for any procedure it tell the CDBL

section about the loan amount and it gives the limit and they can buy securities.

Although to get this loan the clients has to regularly tread for at least six months.

Page 22: Problems and Prospect of Brokerage Houses in Bangladesh

22

Chapter 6 Problems for SBL

6.01 Rules and regulation of DSE and CDBL

Like all other brokerage firms SBL also face the problem regarding Rules and

regulation. Maintaining a larger no of client every day is a hard job and if there‟s any

problem occurs during the trading session it can make problem for SBL and its

clients. So to deal with DSE and CDBL the employee has to check and double check

every single detail in clearing section.

6.02 Categorical difference of securities

Most of the time clients do this kind of mistake that they sell a z category share and

buys an A category share ultimately after end of the month SBL finds that there cash

in hand is less then there account book. Then they have to adjust and re-adjust all the

account again and again which slows down the work in account sections.

6.03 Check requisitions process

When the clients withdraw there money they have to put a requisition first and on the

basis of the maturity period they get there money back. But some time the clients do

and unusual thing which can not be monitored by account section. After giving the

requisition the clients buy securities and don‟t notify in accounts so what happens that

the matured money was there and the check was written and provided but there was

no despite left in the account. This is a really common problem for SBL although the

accounts section closely monitors but still this problem lay on there.

6.04 No new brunches

Stock and bond ltd. is currently operating 10 branches nationwide. But, according to

the demand in some areas, they are clearly left behind to provide the service in parts

of the country.

Page 23: Problems and Prospect of Brokerage Houses in Bangladesh

23

6.05 No individual finance department

SBL does not have an individual finance department. So it is a disadvantage for the

company that they can not monitor there financial activities closely. All the financial

decisions are taken by directors like traditional method.

6.06 Dealing with minus figures

Some time the clients buy there shares on credit to SBL and does not perform any

transaction after. This situation hampers the financial statement because SBL does not

gives any loan to the client directly on there name. These loans are provided by

Standard Bank Ltd. So if the accounts are not treading any more the interest goes

higher every single day. So SBL has to deal with it in a different way they force sell

those account and block it for moments. To do that SBL first ask the client and then

go for the procedure. Although it is a standard procedure but still they end up with

losing the clients.

6.07 No awareness program for clients

Stock & Bond does not arrange any awareness program. A brokerage house should

educate there new clients how to create a healthy portfolio, help them to understand

the ups and downs of capital market, but there is no program like that so clients end

up with losing there money or take advise from the trader or other clients.

Chapter 08 Lesson learned from SBL

As an intern student of Independent University I worked in Stock & Bond Limited for

three months limited period. In this limited amount of time I have learned many

things and most importantly it was the first introduction to the corporate world and its

belonging. Secondly I came to know about the capital market performance. Till now I

have been reading in textbook and articles about the performance of DSE and CSE

but by working in SBL for three month I have experienced the real capital market and

goatherd a knowledge which can‟t be forgotten in lifetime.

Another thing I learned that account section is the hart of the company. It has to run

24 hr a day. I have seen them working in the account section till evening to fulfill

there responsibility. To take this kind of responsibility one must give the full

dedication toward the company they are company and that is my third lesson.

So I hope that this lesson learned from Stock and bond Ltd in last three month will

help me in my future life.

Chapter 09 Conclusion

Bangladesh is a third world country which is still under development. Stock market is

the reflector of and countries economy system, which is also under development. So it

is an obvious that it will have an enormous number of problems. But it is also true

there is a lot more opportunities for stock market in Bangladesh. If we can overcome

these problems it will be a great strength for this nation.

This strength will make another sector bigger which is the brokers of stock and

securities. So if the broker houses can solve there problem and maintain there

operation according to rules and regulation then it can become one of the largest

business sector in Bangladesh.
