37. P/E Ratio & Beta factor as a guide to investment decisions P/E Ratio: Earnings per share alone mean absolutely nothing. In order to get a sense of how expensive or cheap a stock is, you have to look at earnings relative to the stock price and hence employ the P/E ratio. P/E = Current Market Price Earning Per Share
38. Beta Factor “Beta” indicates the proportion of the yield of a portfolio to the yield of the entire market (as indicated by some index). If there is an increase in the yield of the market, the yield of the individual portfolio may also go up.
39. Interpretation Of Beta When B = 1 means that the scrip has same volatility as compared to Index. Suitable for moderate investor. When B>1 means that scrip is more volatile as compared to market suitable for aggressive investors. When B<1 then scrip is less volatile as compared to market and suitable for defensive investors.

60. Suggestions Aviva should concentrate on building a more trustworthy image in the eyes of investors. People are willing to invest for a medium to long term to set off the inflation factor hence products in that category would be a good area for Aviva to concentrate. Aviva should do extensive advertisement through every media whether electronic, print, or hoarding etc. The company should create awareness about the rules and regulations of IRDA and its easy claim settlement procedure. Aviva can benefit if people are made aware about ULIP’s investment in mutual funds and various stocks, as they are likely to invest into stocks anyway.
61. Conclusion According to my research people are moderately bullish with regard to their risk appetite. People have moderate knowledge about volatility, inflation and management of their portfolio. People are not interested in buying insurance as an investment option.
