Chennai, Apr 27:

        Ventura Securities Ltd (VSL), a brokerage house, inaugurated its first branch in Chennai and has extended an online Pointer with several features to make investments and trading faster, informative and user-friendly.

        Operating through 200 locations across India, the company services more than 50,000 clients with a strong presence in the northern region. As an introductory offer to coincide with the launch of Chennai office, Ventura would charge only rupee brokerage for the entire first month to all clients who register by 31 May, allowing investors to experience the features of Pointer, the web-based trading platform.

        Speaking to reporters yesterday, Hemant Majethia, CEO-director, Ventura Securities, said retail participation in the stock markets would go a long way in balancing out the market fluctuations, even as India's GDP growth was pegged at 8.5 per cent. 'With an average three clicks, an investor would be able to access the depth and breadth of the capital markets at our online trading platform,' he said.

        The Pointer brings timely information through features like Action Watch, Dashboard, Daily Pointers, Tick Listing and instant access to corporate fundamentals make the site a versatile tool for market investments.

        The navigation and ease of operations of Pointer was made possible through 3-clicks philosophy — that is on an average of three clicks an investor should be able to access the depth and breadth of the capital markets.

        This type of navigation makes the investor to have access to latest information and updates on stock markets, hitherto not reachable to him.
