2 1 INTRODUCTION Overview: India is in midst of an era of liberalization and globalisation of its economy/financial markets. The setting up of National Stock Exchange (NSE) is an important step in the process of securities market reforms. While India has had a long history of securities trading, the markets have not kept pace with the changing trends and requirements to reach their full potential. Particular issues of concern in the securities industry have been lack of transparency, lack of trading facilities fair and accessible to all, undercapitalized trading members, dated procedures/practices and long/uncertain settlement cycles. NSE emerged as an endeavor by some of the institutional investors within the country to address these issues. The Objectives of the NSE are: To establish a nation wide trading facility for equities, debt instruments and hybrids. To ensure equal access to investors all over the country through an appropriate communication network. To provide a fair, efficient and transparent securities market to investors using electronic trading systems. To enable shorter settlement cycles and book entry settlement system. To meet the current international standards of securities markets. Trading System: The trading system of the NSE, known as NEAT (National Exchange for Automated Trading), is a fully automated screen based trading system that enables members across the country to trade simultaneously with enormous ease and efficiency. In one stroke it has done away with the need for people to congregate on the floor of an exchange to trade and has instead taken the exchange floor to the investor s doorstep. The NSE trading software was originally developed by TCAM Systems Inc., New York for the Vancouver Stock Exchange. Subsequently, the system was enhanced and modified for the use in several stock exchanges around the world. WDM Segment: Brochure 1

3 The telecommunications network is the backbone of any automated trading system and the same is true for NSE also. Each Trading Member trades on the NSE with other members through a computer that may be located at the Trading Member s office or anywhere in India. The Trading Members of the exchange trade through VSATs (Very Small Aperture Terminals). Some Trading Members are connected through dedicated high speed 64 kbps telephone lines also. The Exchange provides a facility for screen based trading with automated order matching. The trading system operates on a price time priority. Orders are matched automatically by the computers keeping the system transparent, objective and fair. Where an order does not find a match, it remains in the system and is displayed to the whole market till a fresh order comes in or the earlier order is cancelled or modified. The trading system provides tremendous flexibility to the users in terms of the type of orders than can be placed on the system. Several time related, price related or volume related conditions can easily be placed on an order. The trading system also provides complete on-line market information through various inquiry facilities. The various screens on the Trading System provide comprehensive information like the total order depth in a security, the best buys and sells available in the market, the quantity traded in that security, the high price, the low price and the last traded price etc. This information is updated online on real time basis providing valuable inputs for investment decisions. It is thus possible for investors to know the actual position of the market before placing orders. Investors can also know the fate of the orders almost as soon as they are placed by the Trading Members on the NEAT system. WDM Segment: Brochure 2

4 2 EXCHANGE OPERATIONS The Exchange currently operates three market segments, namely Capital Market Segment, Futures and Options Segment and the Wholesale Debt Market Segment. Details of these segments are given below: CAPITAL MARKET SEGMENT The Capital Market segment provides trading facilities in equities, convertible debentures etc. This segment commenced trading on November 3, Trading commenced in over 200 securities. As of end December 2003, the number of securities traded exceed Trading volumes on the capital market segment have grown rapidly. The average daily net traded value has increased from Rs.7 crore in November 1994 to over Rs crores for the month of December Trading facilities in this segment are available in about 360 cities and the number is gradually increasing. The clearing and settlement operations in CM segment of the Exchange are managed by its wholly owned subsidiary, namely the National Securities Clearing Corporation Limited (NSCCL). A key factor in the growth of NSE has been the short and tight settlement cycles. The Exchange operates a well defined settlement cycle and there have been no deviations/deferments in this regard. The Clearing Corporation has managed to keep the level of bad delivery below 2.5% and the uncertified bad deliveries have been less than 0.3% on an average in contrast to over 10% reported in other exchanges in the country. The NSCCL operates a settlement fund with a corpus of over Rs.1,200 crores. This settlement fund works like a self insurance mechanism. The members contribute to the settlement fund and in the unlikely event of member default or their failure to meet settlement obligations, the fund is used to complete the settlement. This virtually eliminates the counterparty default on NSE. To further reduce the systemic risk, NSE has arranged a comprehensive insurance scheme covering the major Systemic risks of all Trading members in the Capital Market Segment. FUTURES & OPTIONS (F & O) SEGMENT NSE has introduced trading in derivatives for the first time in India. This segment facilitates trades in derivative products such as stock index based futures, stock index based options, stock options, stock futures, and interest rate derivative products. Trading facilities in Futures & Options Segment of the Exchange are available at all centres where Capital Market operations have been extended. All clearing and Settlement functions for the F&O market segment are handled by NSCCL. WDM Segment: Brochure 3

5 WHOLESALE DEBT MARKET SEGMENT Wholesale Debt Market or the money market as it is commonly referred to, is a market where pure debt instruments such as Government securities, Treasury bills, Public sector bonds, Corporate debentures, Commercial paper, Institutional bonds, Securitised Debt etc. are traded. Trading facilities in this segment are presently available in Mumbai, New Delhi, Calcutta and Chennai. The Exchange plans to extend this to other Metros also. The WDM segment commenced operations on June 30, 1994 with 224 securities carrying an outstanding issue size of Rs.1,35,000 crores. This has now increased to over 1600 securities with an outstanding value of about Rs.9,52,800 crores as on December Average daily traded volume have increased from Rs.2.40 crore in June 1994 to around Rs.300 crore in December The principal investors in this market are the banks, institutions and primary dealers followed by corporates and mutual funds. Recognising this feature of the market, the Wholesale Debt Market system provides for two kinds of entities on the segment: Trading Members who meet the admission criteria for membership to the WDM segment. They can place orders and execute trades on the system on their own or on behalf of the clients. On admission they gain the right to trade on the NSE WDM system. Participants take direct settlement responsibility for the trades executed on the Exchange on their behalf by a trading member. They consist of large investors such as Indian and Foreign banks, Financial institutions, Primary dealers, Mutual funds and Corporates who are not Trading members of the NSE and cannot therefore directly transact on NEAT. These Participants effect transactions through NSE WDM members. The exchange has set up systems to contain market risk by ensuring that the primary responsibility of settlement rests directly with participants and by closely monitoring the settlements. In addition, every participant can set up counterparty exposure limits to ensure that all his trades executed are within their exposure limits. Participants are required to register with the exchange and are provided connectivity to the Exchange with which they can view the market on-line through a screen, set up their counterparty exposure limits and also provide the settlement details to the exchange. The Exchange has registered 56 trading members and 86 participants on the WDM segment as on December 31, WDM Segment: Brochure 4

6 Securities Available in WDM Segment: All Government securities and Treasury bills are automatically deemed to be listed as and when they are issued. Other securities, either publicly issued or privately placed could be listed if eligible as per exchange rules. Clearing and Settlement Trades on the Wholesale Debt Market are settled gross on a trade for trade basis i.e. each transaction is settled individually and cumulating or netting of transactions is not allowed. Each trade has a unique settlement date specified upfront at the time of order entry and used as a matching parameter. It is mandatory for trades to be settled on the predefined settlement date. The Exchange currently allows settlement periods ranging from same day (T+0) settlement to a maximum of three (T+2) days. Exchange also permits Repurchase (REPO) trades for a repo term upto 14 days for eligible securities and participants. The Clearing Corporation of India Limited (CCIL), promoted by the banks and financial institutions, was incorporated in April 2001 to support and facilitate clearing and settlement of trades in government securities (and also trades in forex and money markets). It facilitates settlement of transactions in government securities (both outright and repo) on gross basis and settlement of funds on net basis simultaneously. It acts as a central counterparty for clearing and settlement of government securities transactions done on NDS. It provides guaranteed settlement for transactions in government securities including repos through improved risk management practices viz, daily mark to market margin and maintenance of settlement guarantee fund. Only a Bank/Financial Institution/Primary Dealer/Mutual Fund or a Statutory Corporation or body corporate which is a member of NDS and which has opened an SGL Account and a Current Account with RBI can apply for CCIL's membership for the Securities segment. In case of securities other than government securities, there is a bilateral settlement between the parties to the trade. Settlements of transactions are closely monitored by the Exchange through obtaining settlement details by trading members and participants. In case of deferment of settlement or cancellation of trade, trading members and participants are required to seek prior approval from the Exchange. Trends towards a retail debt market There has been a significant growth in both the wholesale & retail segment of the debt market. The WDM segment caters to large trades in the whole range of debt securities. The method of trading, the size of trades, etc. on this segment is designed with the large banks, WDM Segment: Brochure 5

7 institutional investor in mind. In order to encourage members to develop a retail investor base and draw specific focus to this category of investors, a separate retail debt segment has been established. The segment initially focuses on government securities, and trades in this segment are for small lot sizes. All trades on this segment are settled on a net basis through the clearing corporation.
