A Study on Public Awarenesss Towards Capital Market Investement With Special Reference to SBI Securities Limited Hyderabad

Abstract

The main components of capital market are securities market and financial intermediaries. A formal capital market was present in our country from early 1900 but remained very inactive at that time. The inactiveness of capital market has continued even after independence. The growth of capital market has acquired momentum only from mid eighties. Till then debt instruments were more popular and the investors have not shown much interest in direct investment. Besides the Governments policy towards promotion of capital market was also not much encouraging. Concentration was given to the growth of agricultural sector. The plan for industry-centered growth had been mainly encouraged only for eighties. During mid eighties the foreign collaboration policy of the Government has inspired the industries towards the channel of growth and development. It has been further strengthened by the liberation and privatization measures instituted by the Government as a part of new economic policy. This coupled with the excellent performance of the private sector has made the capital market more active.
