The Indian stock market has come a long way. It is no longer limited to a select group of individuals conversant with the nitty-gritties. This change is due to increased awareness, access to market news, advertising and investment product promotion, and improved market knowledge among the general public.
The primary market or the Initial Public Offering (IPO) market has become a popular and accessible investment option out of the various market segments for individual investors.
Nearly 52% of daily transactions in the market are accounted for by retail investors. Domestic Institutional Investors (DIls) and Foreign Institutional Investors (FIls) on the other hand account for close to 29% and 19%, respectively of the daily transactions in markets. This shows that retail investors are realizing the scope of returns in the markets.
