Book Description

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.

Book Description

This paper examines the perceptions, preferences and various investment strategies in Indian stock market on the basis of a survey among 93 investment analysts, fund managers and active equity investors based at Delhi and Mumbai during May-October 2007. Survey findings reveal that investors use both fundamental as well as technical analysis while investing in Indian stock market. Most of the respondents strongly agree that various company fundamentals (such as size, book to market equity, price earnings ratio, leverage etc.) significantly influence stock prices and hence addition of these factors in asset pricing model can better explain cross sectional variations in equity returns in India. Five most widely used investment strategies in Indian equity market are size based strategies, momentum strategies, following FIIs investment behaviour, buying stocks on the basis of 30 days moving average and buying stocks on the basis of relative strength index. There has been substantial change in investment strategies used by active investors in Indian stock market over the past five years. In a nutshell there has been a shift from purely technical analysis based strategies to the one which involves both fundamental and technical analysis. Moreover the investment horizon of investors has also reduced due to higher volatility.

Book Description

Stock prices are generally governed by rational inputs and irrationality in the market can cause only daily, weekly and short run fluctuations. While irrationality takes prices away from its intrinsic value, rationality brings it back. Contrarian investment strategy is followed under the assumption that typical herd behaviour leads to overreaction to information and hence stocks which have gone up recently is overvalued or vice versa. By taking the opposite position, contrarian expects profit when the market turns rational. On the other hand, momentum investment strategy is followed by moving along with the tide. Here it is found useful to follow the crowd and be a part of it. But if market is efficient in pricing, then both these strategies will fail.The present study is conducted to test the effectiveness of these two investment strategies in the Indian stock market. As a first step to this, the researcher tested the market efficiency of Indian stock market. Indian Market is found to be Weak-form inefficient and Strong form efficient. However, the study found out that momentum and contrarian strategies could not deliver any superior returns to Indian investors during the study period. Separate analysis was carried out by the researcher to test the efficiency o these tools, when Indian markets were severely hit by global financial crisis. Interdependency of Indian Stock Market with other leading emerging markets was also part of the study. The results confirmed the evidence of significant correlation with these markets. The study is expected to help the Indian investors while taking various investment decisions.

Book Description

Global integration, the widening and intensifying of links between high-income and developing countries has accelerated over the years. Over the past few years, the financial markets have become increasingly global. The Indian market has gained from foreign inflows through the investment of Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs). Following the implementation of reforms in the securities industry in the past few years, Indian stock markets have stood out in the world ranking. During the past few years India has emerged as one of the world’s fastest growing economies. The increasing interest of foreign players in the domestic broking industry is a testimony of the stock market’s growth. The Indian stock market has also received a thrust from rise in business transactions over the years, because of sharp drop in brokerage fees and transaction costs, launch of a slew of new products, and a robust regulatory environment. The importance of institutional investors’ particularly foreign investors is very much evident as one of the routine reasons offered by market analysts’ whenever the market rises, it is attributed to foreign investors' money and no wonder we see headlines like "FIIs Fuel Rally" etc., in the business press. This is not unusual with India alone as today’s most developed economies might have seen a similar trend in the past. Domestic institutional investors on the other hand being another important section of institutional investors are playing a vital role in the Indian stock market. These investors have emerged as important players in the Indian stock market and their activities are influencing the market. There are many instances where this section of investors has stabilized the market conditions on one hand whereas their moves took the market to destabilized position on the other hand. Therefore, both FIIs and DIIs have become the most important determinants in the functioning of the Indian stock market. Thus, increasing role of these institutional investors has brought both quantitative and qualitative developments in the stock market viz., expansion of securities business, increased depth and breadth of the market, and above all their dominant investment philosophy of emphasizing the fundamentals has rendered efficient pricing of the stocks. Hence, there is a need to examine how investments made by these two groups of institutional investors’ impact each other as well as stock market returns. This book is an attempt in that direction.
