A humble beginning in the year 1986 as a member of the erstwhile Cochin Stock Exchange Ltd. The first few years' experience helped to form a private limited company in the year 1989 and then becoming the first corporate member. Currently Finlord Investements is one of the leading participants of Cochin Stock Brokers Ltd. (Formed after demutualisation of Regional Stock Exchanges). Both the directors of the company- Varghese Alexander and K.R.Krishnan are graduates in commerce and former executives of Citibank-N.A. During the course of our long journey in the capital market and banking field we met with success and failures, hopes and despair. All these taught us invaluable lessons, insights and helped us to learn that ups and downs are an integral part of the share market. Being an Associate of Cochin Stock Brokers Ltd., we have the privilege of drawing freely from the rich experience of a good number of seasoned share brokers. But we have no desire to proclaim that we are experts in the field. We do want to share the knowledge and wisdom acquired over a period of almost 5 decades with aspiring investors.
