Hi Puys,

Can somebody post some material for Capital Market section? Or can elaborate on kind of questions asked in the paper? Seniors please help...

[pjg123]

hi. even i had the same query as i have also applied for the capital markets program.

there is supposed to be an extra paper on capital markets.
with 40 qns and 30 mins.

i have no idea wat is 2 b studied for it.
but for starters, i guess, one could start off with basics of ipos, primary market, secondary market, etc.

[pjg123]

let us start by posting few concepts:

BASIS POINTS:

• A basis point is a unit of measure used in finance to describe the percentage change in the value or rate of a financial instrument.
• 1 basis point is equivalent to 0.01% (1/100th of a percent) i.e. 0.0001 in decimal form
• in most cases it refers to changes in interest rates and bond yields
• eg. if rbi raises interest rates by 25 basis points, it means that rates have risen by 0.25 % points. i.e if the rates were at 2.5% and the rbi raised them by 0.25% or 25 basis points, then the new rate would be 2.75%

Can somebody add more material for the Capital Market Specific Paper? Objective Questions would be of more use. Thanks in advance.
