Online Trading Sites Making Trade Easier Than Ever
Ever since its inception, the stock
market has been an attractive market for investors. However, with the advent of
paperless trading, share trading has gone to the next level. Especially for
regular investors for whom it’s a burden to maintain reams of stock
certificates, opening up an online account has become a necessity. In today’s
times, having a depository in this arena has become solved the biggest barrier
of investing in equities. No wonder, more and more investors are moving into
this form of trading.
A depository is something similar to a
bank account. Unlike cash, this one holds shares that belong to the investor in
an electronic or dematerialised form. The shares that are bought or sold are
reflected in the demat account of the online trading site chosen. This way, any shares that an investor holds in paper
form can be dematerialised and maintained by way of electronic credit.
The account at regular intervals will
also provide with an account statement showing the balance of shares in the account
and the transactions carried out during that period. They also offer many other
services such as electronic settlement of trades in stock exchanges and much
more.
When it comes to opening up an online
trading account, it can be done with any bank or with brokers and financial
institutions. In most cases, banks will offer attractive rates for an account
to be opened if you already have a savings account opened with them. But, if
you choose to go for online stock trading, it would be recommended that you
open a DP account and a trading account
with the same broker or financial institution.
It’s important to know that DPs charge
annual maintenance fees, transaction charges, and other miscellaneous charges
for dematerialisation. Make sure you look through them carefully so that you
are not in a state of shock later.
By having a demat account, you always
have an opportunity to carry out trade in a much quicker, smoother and safer
way. This way you can keep a check and monitor your transactions from time to
time.
Understanding the NAV basics before investing in Mutual Funds
It might be possible that by now, more
than a few people might have spoken to you about the importance of investing
money. With the cost of basic necessities rising on a daily basis, it has
become all the more essential to plan for the future. In such situations saving
is not enough. It demands us to take necessary steps.
So once you have taken the decision of
investing in any of the avenues out there, you will find that there are many to
choose from. As you would be putting your hard earned money on the line, it
becomes essential to understand all the details of a scheme before you start
with your journey.
In order to truly understand the market,
it is crucial that you educate yourself regarding some of the basic terms that
might be relevant with your investments. When it comes to mutual funds, this is
when the funds of an investor are grouped together and invested into products
like stocks that might not be affordable on an individual level.

| Net Asset Value is the total remaining asset after calculating your liabilities and outstanding shares. |
One of the most important terms you
should get familiar with is the NAV
(Net Asset Value) of a mutual fund. It determines the actual price of a unit of
the fund. It is based on this value that you make an investment decision. When
a fund first enters the market, it has an NFO (New Fund Offer). Later according
to the investments and the fluctuation of the market, the value of a fund rises
or falls based on different factors.
The Net Asset Value in India becomes a
useful piece of information for you because it qualifies as the actual value of
a fund by subtracting the liabilities divided by the number of outstanding
shares. This in turn comes with an actual value per one share the fund. Here,
the liabilities are defined by the amount of debt that has been agreed to be
settled at a certain period of time.
This was one of the few terms you should be familiar with while investing in mutual funds. Once you are clear about it, you can do a little bit of research around the market and browse through the options and make the right choice for a fund.
