Seminar on Trends in Emerging Financial Markets at ABBS

Acharya's Bangalore B-School (ABBS) in association with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) conducted a seminar on Trends in Emerging Financial Markets on March 6, 2014.

Indian capital markets are expanding at rapid pace. There are currently many fully functional exchanges, such as, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), National Stock exchange (NSE), Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) and National Commodity Exchange (NCDEX) that offer trading in several market segments. These include stocks, bonds, commodities, foreign exchange, interest rates and derivatives. The growth of Electronic trading has facilitated smooth and easy trading of the above instruments with fast execution and lower transaction cost. This has greatly levelled the playing field for the retail investors. This has made the capital market more accessible.

The rapid growth of Indian capital markets have attracted Foreign Institutional Investors (FII’s) and have helped several Indian companies to become global leaders. In addition, the recently opened foreign exchange market has helped India to significantly increase its global reserves. SEBI plays a major role in regulating the capital markets and educating investors on the financial markets and market mechanisms in the country. Understanding of the functioning of capital markets can prove very valuable to students who seek careers in financial markets and asset management.

More than 100 participants were benefited through this programme. Mr. Manjesh S. Roy, Deputy General Manager, SEBI – Southern Region was one of the guest speakers, delivered his speech on the topic “Role of SEBI in Capital Market”

Another speaker Mr. N.S. Sheshashayee, Asst. Legal Advisor, SEBI, Bangalore talked about “How to be a Prudent Investor”.

With the well coordination of Dr. A. Dhanalakshmi, Prof. Muthu Gopalakrishnan and Prof. Manikandan, the event was a great success.
