2 INDIAN JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCE (IJMS) EISSN -79X ISSN Introduction: The emergence of derivatives market is an inventive feat of financial engineering that provides an efficient and cost less way out to the problem of risk that is entrenched in the price volatility of the underlying asset. In India, the emergence and growth of derivatives market is relatively a recent phenomenon. In recent years, the market for financial derivatives has grown tremendously in terms of variety of instruments available, their complexity and also turnover. In the class of equity derivatives of world over, futures and options have gained more popularity then on individual stock, especially among retail investors, who are major users of derivatives. Availability of liquidity, level of standardization, clearing and settlement of futures and options transactions are major reasons for their growing use. At the same time cost associated with trading of derivatives, broker services, volatility levels, regulations of derivatives trading and risk tolerance are the complex problems of retail investors of derivatives. Keeping the above facts the present paper gives an attempt to understand the level of awareness of retail investor s instruments and also to find out their problems and satisfaction levels in trading of derivatives. Research Methodology: Objectives of the Study:. To understand the profile of the retail investors of derivatives in Visakhapatnam District.. To analyze the perception of investors regarding the derivatives market. To review the problems and satisfaction levels of retail investors in derivatives market. Literature Review: A number of research studies have been carried out on different aspects of risk and Investment Management. But a very few literature is available in this segment. Alagu Pandian,V. (0) found that derivatives products provide certain important financial benefits such as risk management or redistribution of risk away from risk-averse investors towards those more willing and able to bear risk. An attempt was made by Shaik Abdul Majeeb Pasha (0) 7 to know what kind of perceptions had by retail investors in India based on Andhra Pradesh State reference with a sample size of 500 respondents. Ultimately, financial derivatives should be considered part of any investor s risk management strategy to ensure that value enhancing investment opportunities are pursued. Shanmngasundaram, V. (0) 0 examined the impact of behavioural dimensions of investors in Capital market and found that investor decisions are influenced by psychological factors as well as behavioural dimensions and this psychological effect is created by the fear of losing money, sudden decline in stock indices, greed and lack of confidence about their decision making capability. Sandeep,S., & Surendra, Y.S. (008) in their article conducted a survey of brokers in the recently introduced derivatives markets in India to examine the brokers' assessment of market activity and their perception of the benefit and costs of derivative trading. The need for such a study was felt as previous studies relating to the imp act of derivative securities on the Indian stock market do not cover the perception of market participants who form an integral part of the functioning of derivative markets. Das, B., & Mohanty, S. (008), studied the behavior of the investors in the selection of investment vehicles. Empirically they found and concluded that different investment avenues do not provide the same level of satisfaction. Gupta.O.P (007) 4 in his study Impact of Introduction of Index Futures on Stock Market Volatility: The Indian Experience has been examined the potentiality of financial derivatives to alleviate problems connected with property investment. Survey of the existing literature indicates that so far no specific study has been carried on to examine the perception of retail investors towards derivatives market. Hence the present study is an attempt in this direction and therefore, aims to enrich the perception of retail investors towards derivatives market with reference to Visakhapatnam District.

Calculated Value = 5.0. The Degree of freedom = (r-) (c-). That is (-) (5-). Therefore Degree of freedom is 4 and the Table Value = It results to Calculated Value < Table Value (i.e.) 5.0 <.59 Since calculated value is less than table value we accepted the (H 0 ) and rejected alternative hypothesis (H ).So there is no significant relationship between the gender and category of investment. Problems of retail investors: There are many problems faced by the respondents while investing in derivatives.

7 INDIAN JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCE (IJMS) EISSN -79X ISSN are high serious as their overall mean scores are.09,.,.0,.,.07 and.07 respectively translate to high serious. More over the comparative analysis between derivative product holders indicates that the f- value is significant at five percent level of significance in respect of the same factors since the calculated value is greater than table value i.e..0. Hence the opinion of institutional investors from different groups are different about the problems encountered by them towards derivatives trading. Degree of satisfaction of retail investors: The degree of satisfaction towards factors motivated for investment in derivatives are measured at four point scale. The various factors are analyzed and scrutinized as nine variables.

The average score obtained by factors are presented in table. The variable rated as highly satisfactory are availability of Liquidity and Returns from investment since their mean scores and standard deviation are.7& 0.85,.49 & 0.79 respectively.

Table : Degree of satisfaction towards trading of derivatives products Factors Mean Score S.D Clearing and settlement of futures and Options transactions Fairness of futures and options market Market data for trading futures and options Availability of Liquidity Returns Trade Limit Broker Services Margining Process. 0.5 Pricing of products (Sources: Survey data) Suggestions: ) From the demographic factors it is found most of the investors are of age 5-5 and are mostly public employees, so the institutions dealing in derivatives products can take these factors and develop suitable marketing activities for them and attract them to invest more in derivatives markets. ) Also it is found that the friends and relatives are the most influential persons to pull the investors into the derivatives market. So the Institutions should develop some referral programs and rewards for referrals, so that the existing investors can actively bring in more number of investors. ) It is also found that the investors are investing up to 0% of their income on derivative instruments and also they said that the market risk is main parameters they look in to before investing. So the Institutions should develop products which are of less market risk and the credibility of the institution should be briefly explained to the investors. 4) Investors felt that high margin in derivative segment was the main barrier for investing, so the Institutions should work on this to reduce the margin. Conclusion: The derivatives have a history of attracting many bright, creative, well-educated people with an entrepreneurial attitude. They often energize others to create new businesses, new products and new employment opportunities, the benefit of which are immense. Finally, derivatives markets help to retail investors to increase their saving and investment in the long-run. Transfer of risk enables market participants to expand their volume of activity.
