An investment in equity shares is one of the welcoming trends in the investment sector. These investments have been found in the primary market, secondary market, changes in project details and financial parameters. The equity share is always dominated by the primary market and secondary market and the investors select one of these to their investment processes and lucrative approach. In this chapter, perception of investors on primary and Details of present values are analysed with respect to their various investment options and procedures. The ideas of financial parameters and changes of project details contribute to the retail investment and their progress. So their elements and consequences in the present scenario are ascertained through the opinions of respondents. Several sophisticated and multivariate tools are exploited to obtain the torrent of results useful for the study. The general impact of financial investments on the equity shares will be analysed with the support of data collected by using appropriate statistical tools, of course with necessary interpretations. As already mentioned though the study related to financial investments and their impact on the equity shares, the main concentration will be on the perception of the investors, who are the part and parcel of the equity shares. Hence, the study of demographic variables regarding the investors is necessary and let us book at them in the following lines. 100
2 4.2 Age of the Investors Investment factor often goes with age. Age factor distinguishes the investor behaviour. Many investing options have carved out a place in the equity shares by concentrating on a specific age segment. The age of the investors plays a crucial role to identify the investment behaviour. It is considered as a useful demographic variable to segment the investors based on their perception of the investment pattern. The respondents have been divided into four groups, namely, less than 25, 26-40, and above 60. Table 4.1 shows the age of frequency distribution of the sample investors. Table Age Frequency of Investors Age Frequency Percentage Below Above Total The above table clearly indicates that a maximum percentage of 54.9% of investors are in the age group of 26 to 40 followed by the investors in the age group 41 to 60 which is 33.3%. It is also found that a less percent of 6.2% of the investors are in the age group of above
3 Figure 4.1: Age of the Investors 4.3 Gender of the Investors Gender is a useful variable for the equity shares investment because it seems to reflect the attitudes, options and prudential motives of the investors. Gender is an important factor to identify the behaviour of the investors. In general, most of the investors in the equity shares are males. Females are not much exposed to the effectiveness of retail investment and their consequences. Table shows the distribution of male and female investors. Table - 4.2: Gender of the Investors Gender Frequency Percentage Male Female Total
4 From the above table, it is clear that 92.4% of the investors are males and 7.6% are females. This profoundly reveals that males are more enthusiastic than females in equity shares investment. These results are also shown in Figure 4.2. Figure 4.2: Gender of the Investors Percentage 4.4 Marital Status of the Investors Marital status affects the investment pattern of investors. The marital sentiments force them to invest for their future prospects. This state makes the investor to think twice before investment. The martial status is considered to be one of the major determinants for investors. Due to various family commitments, the married investors are not able to concentrate more on investment in the equity shares. Table indicates the marital status of the investors. 103
5 Table - 4.3: Marital Status of the Investors Marital Status Frequency Percentage Married Unmarried Separated Total It is found from the above table that 80.3% investors are married and 18.4% are unmarried and the remaining 1.2% is separated according to martial status. The married investors view these investments for their prudential purpose. The graphic figure 4.3 also supports the above interpretation. Figure 4.3: Marital Status of the Investors Percentage 4.5 Education of the Investors Education completely expresses the values of investment, creates attitudinal changes among investors, more broadly, it reflects a life style with many investment options in the equity shares. Education is a powerful background for the investor s analysis about the pros and cons of investment in equity shares. Table presents education wise distribution of the investors. 104
6 Table - 4.4: Education of the Investors Education Frequency Percentage School Diploma Graduate Postgraduate Professional Total It is found that most of the investors are have a good education background. 48.8% of the investors are graduates, 20.6% are post graduates and 12% are professionals. This shows that the educated investors are able to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of investment in equity shares and they also concede that they are able to get transparent information through television and magazines regarding equity shares in India. Figure 4.4: Education of the Investors 60 Education of the investors Percentage
7 4.6 Occupation of the Investors Many investment companies and stock brokers have found that occupational category can also be used to distinguish the investment pattern. Occupation of the investors paves the way and also induces the investment pattern of the investors. Table depicts the occupation of investors surveyed, among five groups according to their occupation. Table - 4.5: Occupation of the Investors Occupation Frequency Percentage Government Private Self-employed Agriculture Retired Total In this table, it is identified that most of the investors are working in private concerns or running their own business, that is 43% and 32.7% of investors are employed in private or in their business concerns. The Government employees are not enthusiastic more in equity shares investment and retired people and agriculturalists also show the least interest in investing their surplus in equity shares project details. The above facts have been shown in Figure 4.5 also. 106
8 Figure 4.5: Occupation of the Investors 4.7 Income of the Investors Income has long been an important variable for distinguishing investment segments. It is known that affluent investors are much enthusiastic in investment and need better returns. The respondents are divided into four income groups according to their annual income. Income is the most important factor for all the investors to allot separate amount for the investment, which will be used for their future purpose. Table explicitly shows the income of the respondents. Table - 4.6: Income of the Investors Income Frequency Percentage Below 1 lakh lakhs lakhs Above 3 lakhs Total
9 It is found from the table that 39.1% investors belong to the income groups of Rs. 1-2 lakhs and 26.6% investors have the income less then Rs. 1 lakhs, 22.9% are in the income of groups of Rs. 2-3 lakhs. The investors with more than Rs. 3 lakhs income do not show more interest on investments in equity shares. Figure 4.6 also illustrates the above data. Figure 4.6: Income of the Investors 4.8 Nature of Family of the Investors Nature of family is an important factor affecting the regular investment pattern. Family nature is considered as one of the burdens affecting the investment behaviour of investors. Family members of investors are classified into three groups as shown in the table
10 Table - 4.7: Nature of Family of the Investors Nature of family Frequency Percentage Joint Nuclear Total From the above table, it is clear that the investors in the joint family are not much enthusiastic in investment in the equity shares and the investors of nuclear family are able to invest more amount of their income in equity shares. Figure 4.7 also indicates the above observation. Figure 4.7: Nature of the Family of Investors 4.9 Number of Dependents of the Investors The number of dependents is playing a significant role in deciding the investment amount of the investors and it is presented in table
11 Table - 4.8: Number of Dependents of the Investors Number of Dependents Frequency Percentage No dependents dependent dependents dependents dependents More than 4 dependents Total When the number of dependents is more in the family, their investment behaviour pattern also changes significantly. The number of dependents and investment are inversely proportional to each other. When the number of dependents is more in the family, they do not have ample money for investment in this present economic situation. Figure 4.8 also indicates the same inference. Figure 4.8: Number of Dependents of the Investors 110
12 4.10 House Ownership of the Investors Own house and rented house investors behave in a different manner during their investment proceedings. Rented house exploits their income and hampers them from investment. Table indicates two types of investors. Table - 4.9: House Ownership of the Investors House Ownership Frequency Percentage Own Rented Total It is inferred from the table that most of the investors in equity shares have their own house. If they have their own houses, they divert their income in the form of investment in equity shares. It is also found that 85.7% of the investors have their own houses and 14.3% are in rented house. Figure 4.9 also supports the above facts. Figure 4.9: House Ownership of the Investors 111

31 Gold Debentures It is inferred from the above table that the mean is found according to the ranks assigned to the variables by the investors. The most preferred investments are well established and the investors strongly agree that the investment in capital market alone gives more returns with minimum market risk. So they prefer share market as rank 1 followed by fixed deposit, real estate, mutual funds, government bonds, gold and debentures in order. The first preference is due to appreciable returns besides the maximum risk Ranking Analysis for Preference of Investments in Industry The ranking analysis is executed for the different preference of investment in industry such as banking industry, steel industry, cement industry, IT industry, Pharma industry, manufacturing industries, textile industry and automobile industry and the following preferences are arranged in order in table Table : Mean and Standard Deviation for Ranking of Industries Variable Mean S.D.

Though the means are different, paired sample t-test would check the statistically significant differences among them. It is also found that shares and mutual funds are equally treated (t = 0.598) by the investors for their risk and return. The mutual funds and stock futures are also equally popular among the investors (t = 1.769) for both risk and return. So it is inferred that the investors are very much attracted by capital market after understanding the attractive financial sector reforms.

Besides, helping corporate enterprises in securing their funds, the new issue market channelises the savings of individuals and others into investment. In this study four classification have been considered namely below 12%, 12-24%, 24-36%, and 36% and above as the returns. Table 4.39: Frequency Distribution of Percentage of expected return Percentage of investment Frequency Valid Percent Cumulative Percent Valid Below 12% % - 24% % 36% % above Total Source: Primary data From the above table 4.39 it is ascertained that a maximum of 59.2% of the investors expect to get return below 12% of their investments followed by 19% of the 136
