Upstox Securities Pvt. Ltd. and its affiliates, RKSV Securities India Pvt. Ltd. and RKSV Commodities India Pvt. Ltd., are here to guide you through the essential procedures and risks associated with investment opportunities.
But here's where it gets controversial...
Risk Disclosures on Derivatives:
- A staggering 9 out of 10 individual traders in the equity Futures and Options Segment incur net losses.
- On average, these loss-makers face a substantial net trading loss of nearly ₹ 50,000.
- And it gets worse; they also bear additional transaction costs, amounting to 28% of their net trading losses.
- Even those who make net trading profits incur transaction costs ranging from 15% to 50% of their profits.
Mutual Funds:
Top-rated funds are not a guarantee of success. Research data is powered by Morningstar, but it's crucial to read the offer documents carefully before investing. Upstox emphasizes that they shall not accept any liability arising from your investments.
Unauthorized Practices to Avoid:
As per NSE, BSE, and MCX circulars, investors are cautioned against unauthorized collective investment schemes and guaranteed returns. Practices like sharing trading credentials, strategies, and position details, trading in leveraged products without understanding, writing/selling options based on tips, dealing in unsolicited tips, and trading in "Options" based on recommendations from unauthorized advisors should be strictly avoided.
Advisory Guidelines and KYC Updation:
The Exchange has issued advisory guidelines for investor awareness and safeguarding client assets. It's essential to read these guidelines and ensure your KYC details are up-to-date by March 31, 2022.
Preventing Unauthorized Transactions:
Update your mobile number with your depository participant and stock brokers to receive alerts and information directly on your registered mobile number and email. This simple step can help prevent unauthorized transactions in your Demat and Trading accounts.
IPO Subscription and Securities as Margin:
When subscribing to an IPO, you no longer need to issue cheques. Simply write your bank account number and sign the application form to authorize payment in case of allotment. For securities as margin, stockbrokers can only accept them through a pledge in the depository system, effective from September 1, 2020.
Consolidated Account Statement (CAS):
Update your email ID and mobile number with your stockbroker/depository participant to receive an OTP for creating a pledge. Check your securities, mutual funds, and bonds in the CAS issued by NSDL/CDSL every month.
Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Portal:
SEBI has launched an ODR Portal to streamline the dispute resolution mechanism in the Indian Securities Market. This portal offers online conciliation and arbitration, providing a convenient and efficient platform for investors and listed companies to resolve disputes.
And this is the part most people miss...
Investment in the securities market comes with market risks. It's crucial to read all related documents carefully before investing. Brokerage will not exceed the SEBI prescribed limit.
