The Hindu Business Line : `Markets must tap domestic savings'

There is a need to create greater awareness among the Indian middle class on the positive aspects of investing domestic savings in the stock market, says Mr Rajendran V., Managing Director, Capstocks and Securities (India) Pvt Ltd.

The Indian stock market attracts investment from barely 1.5 per cent of the country's huge domestic savings as against 18 per cent in the US, he says.

Mr Rajendran was speaking at a function held here to release two books — Security Analysis and Portfolio Management and the second edition of Portfolio Management, authored by Prof S. Kevin, former Pro Vice-Chancellor, Kerala University.

Dr Kevin said his books outlined the techniques involved in understanding the fundamental principles and analytical aspects of stock and share movements.

Stating that investors often looked at opportunities that maximised returns and minimised risks, Prof Kevin said his books, published by the New Delhi-based Prentice Hall of India Pvt Ltd, covered these aspects.
