Book excerpt: The book presents a comprehensive view of the Indian equity markets over the past two decades (1994-2014). Equity markets constitute the most important segment of stock exchanges; in fact, the status of equity returns is, by and large, considered as a barometer of the state of a country’s economy. Returns earned by the equity investors on their funds invested in equity markets have become a decisive factor in the growth of such markets. In this context, the book discusses all the major aspects of equity returns and also conducts a dis-aggregative analysis based on underlying factors like age, size, ownership structure, industry affiliation/sector, among others, to explain the factors affecting returns and risk. While on the one hand the study ascertains the market rates of return (earned) on equities from the investors’ perspective (by including both the capital gains and the dividend income), it also shows how to compute the rates of returns on equities from the corporate perspective (that is, rate of return earned on equity funds). It further assesses the required/expected rate of return and examines the volatility in stock returns, with a focus on its behaviour during the period of the study. It deepens investors’ understanding of equity investment, helping them to make more-informed investments. While of interest to the investor community, this book also contributes significantly to the existing literature on market returns and is a valuable reference resource for academics, researchers and market participants, financial institutions and other intermediaries, regulators and policy makers.
Download or read book Indian Stock Market written by Gourishankar S. Hiremath and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is one of the major emerging economies of the world and has witnessed tremendous economic growth over the last decades. The reforms in the financial sector were introduced to infuse energy and vibrancy into the process of economic growth. The Indian stock market now has the largest number of listed companies in the world. The phenomenal growth of the Indian equity market and its growing importance in the economy is indicated by the extent of market capitalization and the increasing integration of the Indian economy with the global economy. Various schools of thought explain the behaviour of stock returns. The Efficient Market Theory is the most important theory of the School of Neoclassical Finance based on rational expectation and no-trade argument. The book investigates the growth and efficiency of the Indian stock market in the theoretical framework of the Efficiency Market Hypothesis (EMH). The main objective of the present study is to examine the returns behaviour in the Indian equity market in the changed market environment. A detailed and rigorous analysis, made with the help of the sophisticated time series econometric models, is one of the key elements of this volume. The analysis empirically tests the random walk hypothesis and focuses on issues like nonlinear dynamics, structural breaks and long memory. It uses new and disaggregated data on recent reforms and changes in the market microstructure. The data on various indices including sectoral indices help in measuring the relative efficiency of the market and understanding how liquidity and market capitalization affect the efficiency of the market.

This book was released on 2013-03-27 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an exploration of the Indian stock market, focusing on the possible presence of momentum trading. One thing, however, should be noted. While it is true that momentum trading, which tends to generate speculative bubbles, may result in a financial market crash, its nature in contrast might depend on the nature of the economy itself. The study, while exploring the presence and nature of momentum trading on the Indian stock market in recent years, seeks to relate it to significant structural breaks in the Indian or global economy. To be precise, it outlines a potential correlation between the instability in the stock market and the speculative trading on the market, exploring the question of whether it is human psychology that drives financial markets. In the process, the choice of a significant structural break has been obvious: the global financial meltdown of 2007-2008 – a crisis that has often been referred to as the worst ever since the crash of 1929. While analyzing the nature of momentum trading on the Indian stock market with regard to the financial crisis of 2007-08, the study takes into account two major representatives of the market, the BSE (Bombay Stock Index) and NSE (National Stock Index), for the period 2005 to 2012. This study seeks to answer a few important questions. First of all, it tries to unveil the underlying structure of the market. In doing so, it examines the following issues: (i) What was the latent structure of the Indian stock market leading up to the crisis of 2007-08? Does the structure offer insights into designing profitable trading strategies? (ii) Is it possible to construct a profitable portfolio on the Indian stock market? (iii) Is there any profitable trading strategy on the Indian stock market? While exploring these issues, the study delves deeper, breaking the whole period down into two sub-periods, before the crisis of 2008 and after the crisis. The purpose of this division is to determine whether there has been any discernible change in the market structure since the shock.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine intraday volatility for the index and a select set of stocks in the National Stock Exchange, for it's periodicity, and persistence. Our data consists of every trade that occurred in the NSE, in the period Mar 1999-Feb 2001. This data is irregular, and there're multiple trades per second. We take special care to clean up the data to get the optimal frequency at which the data is to be discretised. We study the intraday characteristics of returns, volatility, and autocorrelations. Having shown that intraday volatility is periodic, we use the Fourier Flexible Form of Gallant (1981) to characterize it. We find that there's a distinct U-shape in volatility, and that the Fourier Flexible Form adequately characterizes it. Using GARCH models, we also show that the high volatility persistence of intraday data is due to this periodicity.

Book excerpt: The role of stock market in the process of economic development has been well recognised today. thedeveloping countries have started liberalising their financial markets giving considerable importance to the development of stock markets. However, in India stock market remained a dormant part of the financial system until the initiation of the structural adjustment programme . The structural adjustment programme implemented in a gradualistic pattern consisted of comprehensive fiscal, financial and external sector reforms. As part of it capital market reforms were launched.The process of reforms has led to a pace of growth of the stock market unparalleled in the history of any country. Stock market in India has grown exponentially as measured in terms of investor participation, amount raised from the market, number of stock exchanges and other intermediaries, number of listed stocks, trading volumes and turnover on the stock exchanges. Along with these physical changes, there has also been a change in the perception about stock markets and its role in the country's economic development. The present study aims to explore the impact of stock market development on the macro economy of the country, specifically in the post-reform period. It attempts to test the extent to which stock market development affects long-term economic growth, corporate capital structure, and behaviour of retail equity investors. The study also explores the direction of causality between stock prices and major macro economic variables.

Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, , course: Ph. D, language: English, abstract: Every modern economy is based on a sound financial system and acts as a monetary channel for productive purpose with effecting economic growth. It encourages saving habit by throwing open and plethora of instrument avenues suiting to the individuals requirements, mobilizing savings from households and other segments and allocating savings into productive usage such as trade, commerce, manufacture etc. Thus a financial system can also be understood as institutional arrangements, through which financial surpluses are mobilized from the units generating surplus income and transferring them to the others in need of them. In nutshell, financial market, financial assets, financial services and financial institutions constitute the financial system. The activities include exchange and holding of financial assets or instruments of different kinds of financial institutions, banks and other intermediaries of the market. Financial markets provide channels for allocation of savings to investment and provide variety of assets to savers in various forms in which the investors can park their funds. At the same time, financial market is one that integral part of the financial system which makes significant contribution to the countries’ economic development. It establishes a link between the demand and supply of long-term capital funds. The economic strength of a country depends squarely on the state of financial market, apart from the productive potential of the country. The efficient allocation of fund by the capital market depends on the state of capital market. All the countries therefore focus more on the functioning of the capital market. Indian financial market has faced many challenges in the process of effecting more efficient allocation and mobilization of capital. It has attained a remarkable degree of growth in the last decade and in continuing to achieve the same in current decade also. Opening up of the economy and adoption of the liberalized economic policies have driven our economy more towards the free market. Over the last few years, financial markets, more specifically the security market were experiencing a lot of structural and regulatory changes. The major constituents of financial market are money market and the capital market catering to the type of capital requirements.

Book excerpt: A stock (or share) market deals mainly in corporate securities. The securities are chiefly in the form of equity shares and debentures. The function of the stock market is two-fold: (a) to arrange for the raising of new capital (primary market function) and (b) to provide liquidity to existing securities (secondary market function). There are 24 recognized stock exchanges in India, including the Over the Counter Exchange of India (OTCEI) for small and new companies, the old established Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) that was set up as a model exchange to provide nationwide services to investors. At the end of March 2010, 4,977 companies were listed on the BSE, which is the largest exchange in the country. The number of securities available for trading under the equities segment at NSE at the end of April 2010 was 1,872. This book provides a comprehensive account of the working of India's stock market, focusing on reforms introduced during the post-liberalization (1991 onwards) period.

Download or read book Stock Futures and Volatility Quotient written by Sheetal Kapoor and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last decade of the 20th century in India is said to have witnessed the most innovative phase when derivatives trading incarnated on the stock bourses. Initially, index futures were introduced, followed by stock futures. The onset of derivatives trading, particularly stock futures, has been blamed for distorting the face of market stability, thereby making the market volatile. The present paper aims to find out empirically the impact of stock futures trading on the volatility quotient of the stock market. Though nowadays equity derivative products are available with respect to many equities, the study segregates a few scrips with justified rationale. The scrips, after being tested for symmetry/asymmetry, are operated on GARCH family of models. The empirical results reveal that the overall stock futures' trading has gone a long way in stabilizing the market and the notion of equity derivatives trading destructing the market stability is a myth.
