Press Release No. 1
Investothon
in Delhi for Empowered Investors
After
starting a successful run for investors in Mumbai earlier this year, the
National Stock Exchange held an Investothon on Sunday (20th
November, 2011) in the capital. An enthusiastic and over whelming crowd
participated in the run, to support the cause of investor awareness and a
strong capital market in India.
A large
crowd participated in the four kilometers, three kilometers and one kilometer
run, which began from the Le Meridien hotel in the heart of the city, early on
Sunday morning.
‘Investothon
2011’ comprised of three
races, differentiated based on the distance, name and colour. The first, a one
kilometer race was represented by the colour Red, denoting ‘Power’.
The second race, a distance of three kilometers was represented by the colour
Yellow, denoting ‘Health’ and last but not the least, the final lap of
the symbolic run of four kilometers, represented the colour Green, denoting
‘Wealth’.
NSE has
been taking many steps to create awareness among investors in different parts
of the country. This initiative was in partnership with the CNBC TV 18 group.
Joint
Managing Director of the National Stock Exchange, Ms. Chitra Ramkrishna, who
was present at the event said: “NSE has been
constantly striving to empower investors to take sound financial decisions.
Financial education and safe investing become even more critical, at a time,
when markets across the world are under strain. ‘’
She said’’
This is an opportunity for all stakeholders to rededicate themselves to create
informed investors, build a healthy capital market and a healthy market
outlook. ‘’
Recently,
to make it easier for first time investors, NSE has started another
initiative: new investors are being sent
a welcome-kit containing brochures, on the precautions they should take while
investing, what they should not get lured by and how they can verify their
trades, directly from the exchange.
NSE
already provides the facility to clients to verify their trades, at the end of
each day, once they register through the exchange website. NSE proposes to
expand this facility in the coming months.
The event
was attended by senior government officials, investors, investor associations,
Corporates, Member brokers and many senior NSE officials.
Financial education plays a key role in
helping people take strategic investment decisions, for their retirement and
children’s education. It also helps them plan for their financial well-being.
We hope that this Investothon helps in creating more awareness among investors,
to take more informed financial decisions.
