Synopsis Continuing from where we left in the previous book, this one, the second in the series seeks to capture the contemporary happenings in the Indian capital markets and the regulatory measures that are adopted to sustain the investor confidence. The book initiates discussion on the off-debated volatile Indian capital market and its frantic swings, resulting in a significant erosion of investor wealth and confidence in the market. After its having reached a phenomenal 12,000 mark, not many expected it to plunge below the 10K mark, with such swiftness. Well, what goes up necessarily needs to come down, and this basic law of physics is applicable in all its forms in the capital market. The book also provides perspectives of the grueling issues in the capital markets. The various articles throw light on the increasing demand of India as an investment destination. The other areas of discussion include the mutual funds industry entering into the derivatives and the real estate markets. The section also comments on the emerging debt market in India. Finally, the book discusses the recent regulatory measures adopted by Sebi in an attempt to protect investor confidence and sustain retail investor participation. The various articles provide a detailed picture of the same. In its entirety, the book provides a comprehensive guide to the various trends witnessed in the capital markets amidst a volatile environment.
