Abstract

As I intend to become a financial analyst in future, I was determined to do my MBA Internship in a bank or a brokerage house. I felt very fortunate when I got response from SSHCL, which is one of oldest brokerage house in Bangladesh. When I started doing my internship, I began only with the few basic concepts of stock markets that I had learnt in my MBA program. But while working, I learned many of new things which improvised my thought capacity more than ever and I found myself gradually turning from an amateur to a semi-professional. As I had three objectives and had quite little ideas on the issues, I started working with all of them at once and soon found myself completely engrossed in books, magazines, newspapers, etc, not being pressurized by the tough objectives, but to douse my curiosity for learning more about the stock market every moment. The first objective being to identifying the most efficient portfolio comprises of multiple stock security companies of different industries. Hence, I developed a mathematical method which can evaluate the efficiency of any portfolio on given weights. I believe, this method can help the investors by acting as a reference for future use. My second objective was to evaluate and show individual stocks and portfolio interacts with each other. Under this report, I have used some methods to relate the correlation among individual security stocks and portfolio. This correlation may suggest the investors how the entire security stocks are connected with the ups and downs of stock market. The third objective was to develop such a mathematical analysis which may be helpful for the existing clients of SSHCL. Because existing clients of SSHCL want to invest certain amount of money in their preferred stocks company but they feel hesitate in investing those amounts for achieving maximum return against minimum risks. My report may help to show them possible risks and returns trade off. Also, I have included detailed work activities at SSHCL. Finally, I must say that my Internship experience could have never been better than what I experienced in SSHCL. I declare, what I learnt here, has added a golden feather in my career and this will surely act as the key contributor in my mission of being a competent financial analyst.
