* FUTURE OUTLOOK
With the gradual weaning away of the economic slowdown witnessed last
year, business conditions have improved substantially during recent
months and the Indian financial sector, with the rest of the economy
has shown remarkable signs of recovery and resurgence. Following the
global financial markets in the previous financial year, the current
financial year was a year for your company to take steps for a recovery
and confidence building. These steps seem to have paid off for
Corporate India with companies declaring good results. Financial
markets are expected to grow; however, uncertain global economic
environment, inflation and competitive intensity continue to pose
challenges. While the near term conditions pose a challenge for the
economy, the medium to longer term secular trends based on rising
incomes, aspirations, low consumption levels, etc. are positive and an
opportunity for the Financial sector in general and for your Company in
particular.
With a stable Government at the Centre, activity levels in the Indian
capital markets have increased significantly and the benchmark Sensex
and Nifty have gained significantly and touched the high level 26300.00
and 7840.95 respectively on July 25, 2014. Market volumes have also
seen an increase during this period. The retail segment has still some
concern on direct Equity as an asset class. This is visible in day to
day traded volumes on Stock Exchanges. Full participation from this
segment will result in enhanced business for your Company and your
Company is focused in this direction. There are a host of changes in
regulations being introduced by the Securities and Exchange Board of
India with special emphasis on investor service and protection. Your
Company has always been focused on customer service and would be able
to comply with these requirements. Competition has intensified with
margins coming under severe pressure. Your Company is taking all
necessary steps to meet these challenges among others to build
leadership position in the industry. On the global front there are
still doubts on the economic scene with news of inability to service/
repay sovereign debt by certain countries coming in from time to time.
However, the financial crisis in Europe is a matter of concern, since
it may have a dampening effect on the Indian equity markets.
