Floating Methods in the Primary Market

(i) Public issue: Under this method, the company produces a prospectus and invites the public to purchase shares.. It provides information like the purpose for which the fund was raised, the background and future prospects of the company, its past financial performance, etc. This information helps the public and  investors  know about the business and its potential risks and rewards. related. This method is a bit tedious as it fulfills all the legal procedures prescribed by SEBI. approved by the board of directors, designated financial institutions,  stock exchanges, etc. An abbreviated prospectus is attached to each share registration form. SEBI authorization is required for issuance. The underwriter can determine the share price. The reason for the same should be given in the offering document.

(ii) Offer for sale: Under this method, the company does not issue securities directly to the public, but through intermediaries such as brokers, issuers, etc. In two stages, the company first sells its securities to an intermediary at an agreed-upon price, and then the middleman resells the securities to the investing public at a higher price to make a profit. Similarly, foreign affiliates or promoters can sell their shares to the Indian public through an offer to sell which can be made through brokers or by prospectus. this method is relatively faster and simpler than going public as it does not perform any formalities and it avoids the subscription cost.

(iii) Private placement: Under this method, the company sells securities to large financial institutions or brokers instead of  to the general public. In return, they sell these securities to  selected customers at a higher price. This method saves the company  various required or optional expenses such as management fees, commissions, underwriting fees, etc. As a result, companies that cannot afford the huge costs associated with going public  often opt for a private placement. This method is also popular because it is cheaper than the method of issuing to the public to raise capital.

(iv) Right issue: This method is used by companies that have been already issued their shares. When an existing company issues new shares, it gives the preference to existing shareholders this process is called as Right issue. In this scenario, the shareholder has the right to accept or reject the offer for himself or he can accept to transfer all or part  of his rights to another person. An issuer of  rights is required to send a circular to all existing shareholders. The circular letter must provide information on how the supplementary funds will be used and their effect on the ability to earn capital. Usually, a company can allow shareholders to exercise their right to exercise at least a month or two before the stock is issued to the public. Rights may also be provided through underwriters. If the company does well, the rights will be well received  by the shareholders and the need to subscribe may not arise.

(v) Electronic Initial Public Offering (eIPO): Under this method, companies issue their securities in electronic form (i.e. the Internet). The company that issues securities in this way enters into a contract with the stock exchange. SEBI registered brokers must be appointed to accept the application. This broker regularly sends information about this to the company. The securities issuer also appoints a registrar who contributes to the success of the issue  by establishing a connection with the stock exchange.

Entrepreneur v/s Businessman

There are many differences such as objectives, market share, risks, business ideas, decision-making systems, competitive levels and business implementation methods.

Characteristics and purpose The first difference is nature and purpose. One of the main differences between entrepreneurs and businessman is their characteristics and objectives. Entrepreneurs do everything for their innovation to succeed. A contractor focused more on skills, namely the use of human resources in the main objective of introducing new lanes to succeed. Contractors can maximize the use of their human resources with the HRM system, which allows them to automate attendance, leave, payroll and other administrative tasks.

While the businessman give priority to commercial and cost-effective things that's why he is more cautions for taking a new strategy in his business and only followed the ideas that already exist. Because the main goal of a businessman is to convey commercial and profitable things.

Range range An entrepreneur has a higher risk range because it is more daring in reflection (out of the box), then introduce new ideas. If the idea fails, everything will be vain. But on the other hand, if the idea succeeds, they can lead the market because they do not have competitors.

Unlike a businessman who has fewer business risks, even minimal because he has always considered things as a calculated and cautious reflection. The businessman is more concerned about opportunities that will offer advantages. But the disadvantage because it follows the existing path, then they have several competitors.

Attitude with employees and customers The attitude of an entrepreneur is different from that of a businessman, who has a warm personality and who always meets his employees with patience. Indeed, a contractor loves people who have the goal and responsibility to benefit their clients through innovation.

Unlike a businessman who has an authoritarian trait, who loves to govern and work as an employer. In addition, he also tended to hire people who are experts in his field because he is looking for profits and the growth of his business.

Workplace As you know, an entrepreneur usually has a friendly nature for his workplace to be unlimited because he wants his idea to succeed. He did not have a problem sharing his workplace with a colleague. And open instead of change as needed.

A businessman is different. He works in vast areas to separate the services or offices of his colleagues and promote teamwork relationships between his employees. The goal is to ensure that its business had a good reputation and get more profit by having a fixed location. But there is one thing that is common for entrepreneurs and businessmen, it always facilitates a productive workplace for their employees.

Skill As an entrepreneur who has an encaustic nature, they are always ready to take risks, and if they fail to overcome them and find appropriate solutions. In the case of the businessman further exploiting his experience and creating certain strategies planned to overcome losses. But when things go as not as planned they take more time to overcome it.

Adaptation On the entrepreneur side, the world is constantly evolving because new ideas, tools and machines continue to emerge in the business world. By having a revolutionary nature and being able to accept the latest developments and to face daily changes, an entrepreneur can easily adapt. But a businessman generally follows traditional methods, so it is confronted with many obstacles and difficulties in adapting new techniques for development.

Goal As already explained, in terms of objectives, a contractor tends to be more concerned about the changes around. The goal is to continue the passion and the final goal can offer pleasure and satisfaction of itself. In addition, entrepreneurs are not particularly interested in financial benefit.

Most countries issue their own currencies. For example, the official Swiss currency is a Swiss franc, and Japan is a yen. Exceptions are euros, which have been adopted by most countries which are members of the European Union.

The foreign exchange is the request where currency dyads are traded. Currencies always trade in dyads, similar as the INR/ USD, and dealers make positions grounded on their supposition of price changes. Currency price changes are measured in pips, which dealers use to establish tradepositions.The Rupee is represented by INR, the U.S. bone is USD, so the Rupee/U.S. bone brace is shown as INR/ USD.

Risk vs Return Perspective

 Understanding Risk-Return TradeOff

TradeOff Risk-Rett is a trading principle that connects high risk with high prize. If an investor has the ability to invest in the long-term equity, which gives potential investors to recover from the Bear Market risk and participate in the bull market, while if an investor can only invest in a short period of time, the same equity has a higher risk proposition .

In investing, risk and return are very correlated. Increased potential return investment usually runs along with an increased risk. Various types of risks include projects specific risks, industrial specific risks, competitive risks, international risks, and market risk. Return refers to the benefits or losses made from security trade.

Diversification allows investors to reduce the overall risk associated with their portfolio but can limit potential returns. Making investments in just one market sector, if the sector significantly outperforms the market as a whole, resulting in a superior return, but if this sector decreases then you may experience a lower return than that can be achieved with a broad portfolio.

Stocks, bonds and mutual funds are the most common investment products. All have a higher risk and return that has the potential to be higher than savings products. For decades, investments that have provided the highest average return rate are shares. But there is no guarantee of profit when you buy shares, which makes the stock of one of the most risky investments. If a company does not succeed or falls from assistance with investors, the stock can fall in price, and investors can lose money.

You can make money in two ways from having stock. First, the stock price can rise if the company does it well; This increase is called capital gain or appreciation. Second, the company sometimes pays a portion of the benefits to shareholders, with payments called dividends.

Bonds generally provide higher returns with higher risks than savings, and lower returns than stocks. But the promises of bond publishers to pay the principal generally make bonds less risky than shares. Unlike shareholders, bondholders know how much money they expect to be accepted, unless the bond issuer states bankruptcy or out of business. In the event, bondholders can lose money. But if there is money left, the corporate bond holder will get it before the shareholders.

The risk of investing in mutual funds is determined by the underlying risk of shares, bonds and other investments held by the fund. There is no mutual fund that can guarantee the return, and there is no risk-free mutual fund.

Always remember: the greater the potential return, the greater the risk. One protection against risk is time, and that is what young people have. On whatever day the stock market can go up or down. Sometimes it falls for months or years. But for years, investors who have adopted a "buy and resistance" approach to invest tend to come out in front of those who try to regulate market time.

This service is not free and is equipped with annual management costs charged by a mutual fund house.

When investing as a beginner If you are a new investor with a little or without experience in the stock market, it is best to start your equity investment through mutual funds because it is not only a relatively lower risk, you also have a fund manager who manage your investment. You also have various types of equity funds and you can choose the best plan to achieve your financial goals based on risk tolerance.

Risk and return It has been determined that the equity of various mutual funds has the advantage of reducing risk by diversifying the portfolio. You can choose to invest in equity funds such as index funds, flexible funds, sector funds, elss or large funds depending on your risk and return expectations.

Tax increase You don't get tax benefits if you invest in stock. However, you are eligible for tax reduction to a maximum RS 1.5 lakh per year under the 80C section if you invest in a tax-saving mutual fund called Elss. You can invest in ELSS for twin-benefit returns and tax savings that defeat inflation.

Diversification A well-diversified portfolio must include at least 25 to 30 shares, but it will be a difficult task for small investors. With the equity of various mutual funds, investors can also obtain a diverse portfolio managed by fund managers. Fund purchase units allow you to invest in several shares. You can invest through SIP where you enter a small amount regularly in equity funding schemes.

Control on your investment In the case of equity mutual funds, the fund manager decides on shares to be included in the portfolio. You don't have control of the shares which must be chosen and for what duration.

Time You don't need to spend a lot of time researching individual shares if you invest in equity funds. Fund managers take care of your investment and the research team selects the right stock. However, you must check important parameters such as the Fund portfolio, AMC trace record, assets based on management and investment force from fund managers before investing your money in equity funds.

Investment Horizon You must invest in stock and equity funds with long-term investment horizons. However, you must be able to set the time out of your stock. You can follow the purchase and resistant strategy with equity funds to achieve your long-term financial goals.

Basics of Insurance

 The basic principle of insurance is that a company chooses to regularly spend small  amounts of money against the possibility of a large unexpected loss. In principle, all policyholders bear their risks together. Any loss they suffer is paid for by their premiums that they pay. 

What is insurance? 

Insurance is a legal agreement between two parties i.the insurance company (insurer) and the person (insured). The insurance company undertakes to compensate the insured for damage if the insured event occurs. Contingency is the event that causes a loss. This may be the death of the insured or property damage/destruction. It is called  contingency because there is uncertainty about the occurrence of the event.The insured pays a premium for the insurer's commitment. 

How does the  insurance work? 

The insurer and the insured enter into a legal contract of insurance known as an insurance policy. The insurance policy contains details of the conditions and circumstances under which the insurance company will pay  the insured sum to  the insured person or the authorized representatives.Insurance protects you and your family from  financial loss. In general, the premium for good insurance coverage is much less for the money paid. The insurance company bears the risk of offering high coverage for a small premium, since very few policyholders actually use the insurance. That's why you get insurance for a large sum at a low price.Any individual or business can apply for insurance from an insurance company, but the decision to provide insurance is at the discretion of the insurance company. The insurance company will review the claim application to make a decision. applicant. 

Reduce risk 

Even if you are in an armored vehicle, there is always  some risk that the map will tip over.You can lead an extremely healthy lifestyle and exercise regularly, but whatever your health condition, there are risks such as: Personal accidents. The point you need to understand here is that no matter how hard you try, there will always be some risk in our activities. It is important to have a thorough understanding of the various risks that can arise throughout life. There are two types of risk: tolerable risk and intolerable risk. For example, we can afford to lose our portfolio with a few hundred or thousandsBut we cannot afford to have our car, worth thousands of rupees, or our house lost or damaged in the same way.
