...INTRODUCTION Unprecedented globalizations have witnessed double digit economic growth resulting in fierce competition and accelerated pace of innovation. As a result inflow of Foreign Direct investments has become a striking measure of economic development in both developed and developing countries. FDI and FII thus have become instruments of international economic integration and stimulation. Fast growing economies like Singapore, China, Korea etc have registered incredible growth at onset of FDI. Though US captures most of the FDI inflows, developing countries still account for significant growth of FDI and rise in FII. FDI not only gives access to foreign capital but also provides domestic counties with cutting edge technology, desired skill sets, tools of innovation and other complementary skills. Apart from helping in creating additional economic activity and generating employment, foreign investment also facilitates flow of sophisticated technology into the country and helps the industry to march into advanced technology. A favorable business environment fostered Indian economy after 1991, when the government of India opened the door for foreign capital in the way of direct investment and through foreign institutional investors. The policies drafted to stimulate the flow of foreign capital in to India provided much needed impetus for India to emerge as an attractive destination for foreign investors. Consequently, the international capital inflows have been...

...Markets Snehal Bandivadekar and Saurabh Ghosh * Derivative products like futures and options on Indian stock markets have become important instruments of price discovery, portfolio diversification and risk hedging in recent times. This paper studies the impact of introduction of index futures on spot market volatility on both S&P CNX Nifty and BSE Sensex using ARCH/GARCH technique. The empirical analysis points towards a decline in spot market volatility after the introduction of index futures due to increased impact of recent news and reduced effect of uncertainty originating from the old news. However, further investigation also reveals that the market wide volatility has fallen during the period under consideration. Surrogate indices like BSE 200 and Nifty Junior are introduced to evaluate whether the introduction of index futures per se has been instrumental in reducing the spot market volatility or the volatility has fallen in line with general fall in market wide volatility. The results using these surrogate indices show that while the ‘futures effect’ plays a definite role in the reduction of volatility in the case of S&P CNX Nifty, in the case of BSE Sensex, where derivative turnover is considerably low, its role seems to be ambiguous. JEL Classification: G1, G14, G15 Key words: Derivatives, index futures, stock markets, volatility, ARCH-GARCH Introduction A derivative is financial instrument whose value is ‘derived’ from another underlying security or a basket of securities...

...SECURITY ANALYSIS AND POR TFOLIO MANAGEMENT LESSON 16: STOCK MARKET INDICES Stock market indices are the barometers of the stock market. They mirror the stock market behavior.With some 7,000 companies listed on the Bombay stock exchange, it is not possible to look at the prices of every stock to find out whether the market movement is upward or downward. The indices give a broad outline of the market movement and represent the market. Some of the stock market indices are BSE Sensex, BSE200, Dollex, NSE-50, CRISIL-500, Business Line 250 and RBI Indices of Ordinary Shares. Market Capitalisation (MC) = Number of shares × Prices of shares X = 100 × Rs. 20 = Rs. 2,000 Y = 200 × Rs. 30 = Rs. 6,000 Z = 250 × Rs. 40 = Rs. 10,000 Aggregate Market Capitalisation = Rs. 18,000. Index at period N = 100 Market Price at N + 1 X Share price = Rs. 25 Y Share price = Rs. 40 Z Share price = Rs. 50 Market capitalisation X = 100 × Rs. 25 = Rs. 2,500 Y = 200 × Rs. 40 = Rs. 8,000 Z = 250 × Rs. 50 = Rs. 12,500 Aggregate Market Capitaliation = Rs. 23,000 Index at period N + 1 = Rs. 23,000 × 100/18,000 N + 1 = 127.78 The weight may be the trading volumeof the particular scrip.When the index uses the trading volume as weight, on its shows the depth of the market in terms of trading volumes and conditions.

The breadth of the market was negative with Advance Decline ratio at 1:2. About 836 shares advanced, 1820 shares declined, and 768 shares remain unchanged. A slew of bad economic cues from across the globe didn't help Indian equities either. Reports of monsoon rains over India's mainland will be delayed by about four days also weighed on sentiment. A whole host of disappointing macro economic data including weak PMI data from many countries across the globe dragged the bourses down. BSE FMCG was almost flat with a gain of 0.13%.

...INDEX FUNDS.. FM n FS PROJECT Active and Passive Management Before we get into the details of index funds, it's important to understand the two different styles of mutual-fund management: passive and active. Most mutual funds fit under the active management category. Active management involves the art of stock picking and market timing. This means the fund manager will put his/her skills to the test trying to pick securities that will perform better than the market. Because actively managed funds require more hands-on research and because they experience a higher volume of trading, their expenses are higher. Passively managed funds, on the other hand, do not attempt to beat the market. A passive strategy instead seeks to match the risk and return of the stock market or a segment of it. You can think of passive management as the buy-and-hold approach to money management. Defn- An index fund a collective investment scheme that aims to replicate the movements of an index of a specific financial market, or a set of rules of ownership that are held constant, regardless of market condition. An index fund is a mutual fund which merely invests in the securities in the index. It is passive, in the sense that absolutely no effort is made to produce results better than the index. HISTORY: Index funds haven't been around forever -- how did they come about? Long ago, there was a student at the University of Chicago who studied modern ideas of finance taught...

The features of derivative instruments like forwards, futures, options and swaps are also described. Module Contents 5.1. Stock Exchanges 5.2. Commodity Exchanges 5.3. Derivatives 5.4. Currency Futures in India 5.1 Stock Exchanges in India 5.1.1 History and Development Indian Stock Markets are one of the oldest in Asia. Its history dates back to nearly 200 years ago. The earliest records of security dealings in India are meagre and obscure. The East India Company was the dominant institution in those days and business in its loan securities used to be transacted towards the close of the eighteenth century. By 1830's business on corporate stocks and shares in Bank and Cotton presses took place in Bombay. Though the trading list was broader in 1839, there were only half a dozen brokers recognized by banks and merchants during 1840 and 1850.
