Description
Summary:The past years have seen an unprecedented increase in the number of novice investors who invest their savings in the stockmarket. These novices often lack the requisite knowledge and means to protect their interests in the stock market.

This study aims to look into these two forms of investor protection and to examine their adequacy.
