... Broadly, behavioural factors influencing financial decisions have been grouped in to Prospectbased factors and heuristic-driven factors (Kannadhasan, 2015;Waweru, Mwangi and Parkinson., 2014). Chandra (2008) submits that prospect theory basically which describes how people frame and value a decision under the condition of uncertainty. Four key elements of the theory pinpointed by Babarinde and Bello (2019) are mental accounting, loss aversion, regret aversion and selfcontrol. ...
... This refers to the human tendency to form judgment, opinion, or conclusion based on stereotypes, limited information like being excessively optimistic about past winners but overly pessimistic about past losers (Chandra, 2008;Elton, Gruber, Brown and Goetzman, 2007;Sherif, 2016). It can also be described as the human tendency to estimate the likelihood of an event by comparing it to a previous incident that already exists in their minds. ...
... It makes individuals assess their options by comparing its similarity with an existing prototype (Prosad, et al., 2015).In this heuristics, judgments are made on the basis of how well circumstances represent or match particular stereotypes that have emerged from past experience (McMahon, 2005;Sherif, 2016). Representativeness manifests when investors equate good companies with good stocks, and overly optimistic about past winners and overly pessimistic about past losers (Chandra, 2008;Sherif, 2016). Therefore, representativeness is the phenomenon that make people look for a pattern in a series of random events. ...

Contrary to the traditional finance theory founded on the notion of perfect rationality of human actions, behavioural finance operates on the principle of bounded rationality, where in addition to reason, emotions, biases, heuristics and other human behavioural traits and tendencies influence human financial decision making process. These behavioural traits which tend to influence the financial decisions generally, but particularly, the investment decisions of economic agents are numerous. However, they are classified under two main headings: prospect theory and heuristic decision theory. This paper reviewed some behavioural factors influencing investment decisions from perspective of heuristic decision theory. From the review, it was discovered that although heuristics like representativeness, overconfidence, availability, anchoring and adjustment etc., have impact on investment decision but strategies for their identification, recognition and management need to be given proper attention in the financial community, most especially in Nigeria. Thus, the paper suggested that models of decision making should be hybrids of traditional theory of rationality and the tenets of behavioural finance, for this if employed in investment decision, will facilitate the attainment of optimality. Furthermore, more studies in Nigeria should be devoted to the study as well as the management of these heuristics, biases and other aspects of human behavior that have bearing on activities in the investment world.
... It often changes as a result of inflation, productivity of capital and Federal Reserve policies and also affects both the future cash flow of firms and discount rate. According to Chandra (2004),a rise in interest rate decreases corporate profitability and likewise leads to an increase in the discount rate applied to equity investors; both of which affects the stock prices adversely. Consequently, a rise in interest rate is expected to impact negatively on the performance of the organization and thus on stock market prices.Ogbulu (2010) finds a negative long-run relationship between interest rates and stock returns in Nigeria and also a uni-directional causality running from interest rates to stock returns. ...
... During period of high economic growth, there is increase in the demand for goods and services (stocks inclusive) because of the potential for higher profits while period of depression is associated with lower expected returns on investment assets and capital because investors' confidence on the prospect of the economy may be dampened. Chandra (2004)find evidence for positive relation between GDP growth rate and stock market returns. ...

This study investigates the impact of macroeconomic variables on stock price movements in Nigeria using VAR model and granger causality tests to analyse the long run and short run dynamics of stock price movement and the macroeconomic variables with time series data spanning from 1981-2014. The Impulse response and Variance decomposition used to explain the dynamic properties of the VAR model suggest that the response of ASI to one standard deviation in INF, INT, and RGDP were all fluctuating whereas its response to one standard deviation of EXR and IPI were relatively stable overtime. The study recommends that the monetary authorities and policy makers should pay attention to changes in monetary aggregates in view of their sensitivity to stock price movements in Nigeria.
... If an institution's ROA were fairly constant, this ratio could be used to forecast earnings in future periods. Unlike ROE, this ratio measured profitability regardless of the institution's underlying funding structure; but did not discriminate against MFBs that were funded primarily through equity (Chandra, 2005). ...
... It must also be noted that, ROE indicated its ability to build equity through retained earnings and increased equity, which enabled the MFBs to leverage more financing to grow its portfolio. By excluding donations and non-operating revenues, this ratio demonstrated an institution's ability to generate income from its core financial service activity (Chandra, 2005;Crabb and Keller, 2006). ...

After several reforms in Nigerian banking sub-sector, the regulatory and supervisory framework policy of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has not adequately improved performance of Microfinance banks (MFBs). In view of this, this paper assessed the impact of government regulations on MFBs performance between 2007- 2016. The paper used secondary source of data by assessing the financial statements of MFBs. A pooled Ordinary Least Square (OLS) technique was used for the analysis of data. The result showed that coefficient values of capitalization (4.64) and reserve (7.21) were positive and consistently associated with higher MFBs performance, while investment in Treasury bill (-4.30) was negative but statistically significant in driving MFBs performance at (P<0.01). The study concluded that regulatory frameworks via strong capitalization and reserves influenced and improved MFBs financial performance.
... Conversely, the strong form efficient market theory holds that security values reflect all available information from both public and private sources. Consequently, if the stock market is strong form efficient, it will not be possible to earn abnormal return even if an investor is privy to news that is not available in the public domain [5,6,7]. ...
... The test for semi strong efficient market requires a measure of abnormal earning due to new information. Thus, it requires the deduction of actual returns from expected returns over the event window to get the abnormal return [32,5,26]. This led us to test the semi strong market efficiency by examining the Average Abnormal Return and the Cumulative Average Abnormal Return to evaluate the performance of the Nigeria stock market after news about monetary policy rate is publicized. ...

A capital market is said to be efficient if new information are quickly reflected in stock prices. This study empirically examines how the prices of stocks listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange quickly respond to monetary policy announcement. The daily All Shares Index and 41 monetary policy announcement from 2014 -2020 were used as proxy for stock prices and new information respectively. The Researcher adopted the event study methodology and a 21 day event window was constructed. That is 10 days before monetary policy announcement (-10) and 10 days after the announcement (+10) in addition to the event day. The average abnormal returns (AAR) and the cumulative average abnormal returns (CAARs) were computed and analyzed using the t-statistic to ascertain whether it is possible to earn abnormal return due to monetary policy announcement. The findings revealed that it was not possible to earn abnormal return due to monetary policy announcement. The implication of this result is that stock prices quickly adjust to new information (monetary policy rate announcement) therefore making it difficult for market participants to outperform the market.Thus, the Researcher concluded that the Nigeria stock market is semi-strong form efficient.
... Likewise, a highly skilled surgeon who migrates to Nigeria from a developed economy may become poorer because of poor wages. The theory of Finance explains how systematic risk which comprising economic risk, social risk and political risk affects the value of assets generally, is not manageable by portfolio diversification, while unsystematic risk can bo diversified away to improve returns (Chandra, 2008;Reilly and Brown, 2006). In the same vein, systematic poverty is proposed by us to be only manageable by public sponsored programmes while unsystematic poverty which is induced by vulnerability to occurrence of social risks could be handled by private insurance and SRM. ...

Social risks are at the roots of insecurity, poverty and underdevelopment if unmanaged. Electricity output and other social policy risks combine to increase vulnerability to poverty. This paper studies the relationship between the existences of social risk management and increase in unsystematic poverty, which seems to explain the prevalence of systematic poverty in Nigeria using structural model equations. It is found that the vulnerability of the poor increases with lack of social risks management. We recommend that social risk management policy targets should be to adopt the 'Nordic model' for energy development, wages and pension payments should be inflation indexed.
... One of the methods that measured bank performance was through return on asset (ROA). Return on Asset (ROA) helped to measure the company's capability to make profits relative to its assets (Chandra, 2005). A higher ROA was an indication of an increase in the company's earnings realized through the efficient use of company's total assets over a particular period. ...

This study assessed Information Communication Technology (ICT) and bank performance before and during COVID-19: Empirical evidence of Nigeria. The urgent need for ICT in banking subsector was unavoidable in Nigeria to meet daily liquidity needs and ease business transactions. Panel data comprised pooled Least Square (PLS), Fixed Effects Model (FEM) and Random Effects Model (RAM), which were adopted for a period of ten (10) years (2011-2020). The choice of adopting the appropriate model could be traced to Hauman test outcome. The secondary source of data was from financial statements of thirteen (13) purposively sampled banks. Findings showed a mixed marginal influence of ICT on bank performance in Nigeria and were statistically significant. The study concluded that banks' financial products / services were fully supported and driven more by information communication-technology before and during recent temporary lockdown in Nigeria. The paper recommended that regulators and policymakers should review and implement information-technology vis-à-vis Fin-Tech policies as incomparable mechanism to improve bank performance in case of any uncertainties in the nearest future.
... The greater the volatility of the price of an asset, the more volatile the price of the asset. According to Tandelilin [25], volatility (variation of returns) is representative of risk in Markowitz analysis and expected return is representative of reward. Stock price volatility based on past stock price movements (historical data) over a certain period of time. ...

Liquidity is one of the important things in investing in the stock market. The Indonesia Stock Exchange as a regulator makes and establishes regulations in the capital market to conduct trading in an orderly, fair and efficient manner. One of the amended provisions in the regulation is regarding the free float or the percentage of the number of shares outstanding in the public with the aim of increasing the liquidity of the listed shares. In addition to free float, the risk in investing also needs to be considered. Behind a high return there is a high risk as well. High risk in the volatility of stock returns. High volatility attracts investors to invest in the stock market. Investors with risk-taking tendencies prefer this high-volatility condition because it allows them to earn higher returns, thereby increasing liquidity through the trading volume of these shares. This study involves a number of control variables that together determine market liquidity, namely Stock Return, Firm Size and Stock Price. The analysis was carried out on property and construction sector companies listed in the 2016-2020 period. The analytical method used is multiple linear regression analysis using the E-Views 10 application. The results of the analysis found that free float and volatility have a positive effect on stock liquidity, either by including or including control variables. These results indicate that information about free float and volatility is a consideration in capital market investment decisions.
... Consequently, people make decisions based on the potential value of gains and losses rather than on the utility of the decision. As described by Chandra (2008), prospect theory as an alternative model for expected utility theory describes how people frame and value a decision involving uncertainty. Therefore, the key elements of the theory are mental accounting, loss aversion, regret aversion and self-control. ...

Human beings are made up of emotions in addition to reason but emotions sometimes tend to dictate their investment decision. The behavioural traits which tend to influence the financial decision generally and investment decision of economic agents are numerous. Using content analysis method, this paper reviews some of the behavioural factors influencing investment decisions with emphasis on prospect theory. This is aimed at provoking further empirical research on the subject and to further create the awareness on the need for incorporation of these factors in investment decisions and as well as in financial modelling. From the review, it was discovered that although behavioural factors: mental accounting, regret avoidance, loss aversion and self-control, have impact on investment decision but there is a need for investors to further give adequate recognition and consideration to these factors, manage these biases and strategize to avoid any kind of bias, in their investment decision making so as to minimize losses.
... , Chaudhuri and Smiles (2004), and Buyuksalvarci (2010) found a significant relation between stock market and real GDP and also Wickremasinghe (2011), Ifuero Osad and Evbayiro-Osagie (2012), Lokeswar Reddy 2012, Nijam et al. (2015 were concluded GDP has a significant and positive relationship with stock market performance.

Monte Carlo-Expected Tail Loss (MC-ETL) is the new expansion method that combines simulation and calculation to measure investment risk. This study models US stock prices using ARIMA-GARCH and forms an optimized portfolio based on Multi-Objective that aims to analyze the portfolio investment return. The next portfolio return will be simulated using the Monte Carlo (MC) method, measured based on the Expected Tail Loss (ETL) calculation. The optimized portfolio comprises 5 US stocks from 10 years of data, with the biggest capitalization market on February 25, 2021. MSFT has the most considerable weight in the optimized portfolio, followed by GOOG, AAPL, and AMZN, whereas TSLA shares have negligible weight. Based on the simulation result, the optimized portfolio has the smallest ETL value compared to its constituent stocks, which is ±0.029 or about 2.9%. This value means that the optimized portfolio is concluded as an investment choice for investors with a low level of risk.

This study aimed to predict the JKII (Jakarta Islamic Index) price as a price index of sharia stocks and predict the loss risk. This study uses geometric Brownian motion (GBM) and Value at Risk (VaR; with the Monte Carlo Simulation approach) on the daily closing price of JKII from 1 August 2020–13 August 2021 to predict the price and loss risk of JKII at 16 August 2021–23 August 2021. The findings of this study were very accurate for predicting the JKII price with a MAPE value of 2.03%. Then, using VaR with a Monte Carlo Simulation approach, the loss risk prediction for 16 August 2021 (one-day trading period after 13 August 2021) at the 90%, 95%, and 99% confidence levels was 2.40%, 3.07%, and 4.27%, respectively. Most Indonesian Muslims have financial assets in the form of Islamic investments as they offer higher returns within a relatively short time. The movement of all Islamic stock prices traded on the Indonesian stock market can be seen through the Islamic stock price index, namely the JKII (Jakarta Islamic Index). Therefore, the focus of this study was predicting the price and loss risk of JKII as an index of Islamic stock prices in Indonesia. This study extends the previous literature to determine the prediction of JKII price and the loss risk through GBM and VaR using a Monte Carlo simulation approach.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly considering international expansion as one of the sustainable growth strategic options. This study aims to reveal how the effect of internationalization as a moderator of SMEs size, age, and other financial determinants toward investment opportunity set of SMEs that listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2006 to 2020. Market to book asset ratio used as a proxy of investment opportunity set of SMEs. This study is one of the most important in the context of Indonesian SMEs as there were limited previous studies that have explored the internationalization factor. A total of 102 SMEs companies with 156 data observations were studied. A moderation regression analysis was used to test whether the determinants of the investment opportunity set were statistically significant. Surprisingly, the study found that the degree of internationalization has a moderating effect that weakens the relationship between SMEs age and size on investment opportunities set (market value ratio).
... Research has shown that if time is of the essence, heuristics are quite useful (Waweru et al., 2008), nonetheless, sometimes they lead to biases (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). Other researchers add to this view by classifying the heuristics as being ignorant to sample size, neglecting base rate, conjunction fallacy and innumeracy (Barberis & Thaler, 2003;Chandra, 2017;De Bondt & Thaler, 1995). ...

When it comes to asset allocation and portfolio management, Kelly criterion is a mathematical formula used to optimise expected log-returns over the long term. Nonetheless, not all stocks are well suited for analysis using Kelly criterion, due to their transient nature and noisy data. This paper presents an innovative index by which to assess the suitability of stocks for analysis using the Kelly criterion. When applied to real-world stock data, the correlation coefficient between the proposed KSI and log-returns based on the Kelly criterion was −57.045% with a p-value of 1.215×10−1. In a robustness test based on the Mid-Cap 100 dataset, the correlation coefficient was −44.064% with a p-value of 2.438×10−5. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the KSI for portfolio management.
... Stock market sentiments can be represented by market indices, and these indices are based on samples that are fairly reliable because of the tendency of all stocks to move together. When the purpose of an index is to represent the changes in the value of stocks, one can have tremendous confidence in a small sample of large companies because relatively few companies account for a large proportion of the value of all companies (Chandra, 2013). ...

The investor always prefers to have less risk and higher returns and to mitigate the risk and investors will do diversification. Diversification means combine of two or more assets, which gives the least risk and highest return. Combine of two or more assets is called portfolio. Risk and return are two fundamental and important factors for the construction of a portfolio. Every investor's motto in the construction of a portfolio is to minimize the risk and to maximize the return. An optimal portfolio is called which has the least risk highest return. Sharpe's Index Model (SIM) is the best and perfect model for the construction of an optimal portfolio. This study tries an attempt to build an optimal portfolio using Sharpe's Index Model (SIM) by using NSE NIFTY Shares.

A portfolio deals with how one allocates several shares in different types of investments to achieve an optimal profit. By diversifying, investors might reduce the risk level and optimize the expected rate of return at the same time. Based on that, this study raises a problem of how to design an optimal portfolio simulation, namely a combination of liquid JII shares listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period

The level of sensitivity of every investment option to a market index is crucial to investors. Sensitivity analysis of individual or a set of returns on investments to market return index predicts the reaction of the investment(s) to changes in the market index; informs investors of prospective performance of different investments types; as well as assists the investors in making appropriate decisions on investment selections. This paper assessed how sensitive indirect real estate investments in Nigeria were to market index. The three companies whose asset returns were considered in this study were real estate investment trusts listed in the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The data used in this study were sourced from annual reports of the listed companies, and reports of the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The beta coefficients were used to determine the sensitivity of the selected stocks to market return index. The study found a very low and insignificant beta coefficient among various real estate investments and market return index. Hence, there is no relationship between the market return index and the returns on the Real Estate Investment Trusts listed in the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

Abstrak--Konstruksi portofolio optimal menjadi fokus perhatian dan semakin menantang bagi manajemen investasi karena pada umumnya investor bermotif untuk memaksimalkan economic value-nya dengan memainkan peran dua variabel utamanya, imbal hasil (return) dan risiko (risk). Single Index Model(SIM) William Sharpe (1963) merupakan model yang sederhana terutama jika dibandingkan dengan model Markowitz (1952), terutama karena pertimbangan jumlah variabel masukannya. Model Markowitz dikatakan memiliki keterbatasan praktis serius; model Sharpe menyederhanakannya (http://www.economicsdiscussion.net/portfolio-management/theories-portfolio-management/sharpe-theory-of-portfolio-management-financial-economics/29763 [r. 07/05/20]).Penelitian ini bermaksud menggambarkan portofolio optimal seperti apa yang dapat dibentuk dari saham-saham LQ45 tahun 2019 menggunakan SIM tersebut. Hasilnya memperlihatkan 27 saham LQ45 terpilih dari 45 saham yang pantas menjadi anggota portofolio optimal dalam pembobotan mulai dari bobot yang tertinggi ke bobot terendah. Dengan tetap menyadari sepenuhnya bahwa SIM hanya menggunakan indeks (pasar) sebagai satu-satunya faktor pembentuk risiko berinvestasi,penerapan model ini memberikan pembelajaran yang amat berharga justru karena kesederhanannya sehingga mampu memberikan gambaran yang jelas dan dengan demikian tetap perlu dipelajari sebagai pengetahuan dasar dalam Mengelola Portofolio/ Investasi. Kata kunci: Sharpe’s Single Index Model, Portfolio Analysis, Optimal Portfolio Con-struction, Risk Characteristic Line. Abstract--Optimal portfolio construction is the focus of attention and is increasingly challenging for investment management because in general investors are motivated to maximize their economic value by playing the role of two main variable, return and risk. William Sharpe’s (1963) Single Index Model (SIM) is a simple model especially when compared to the Markowitz model (1952), mainly because of the consideration of the number of input variables. The Markowitz model is said to have serious practical limitations; the Sharpe model simplifies it (http://www.economicsdiscussion.net/portfolio-management/ theories-portfolio-management/sharpe-theory-of-portfolio-management-financial-econo-mics/29763 [r. 07/05/20]). This study intends to describe what optimal portfolio can be formed from LQ45 shares in 2019 using the SIM. The results show 27 selected LQ45 shares from 45 shares that deserve to be members of the optimal portfolio in weighting starting form the highest weight to the lowest weight. By being fully aware that SIM uses only the index (market) as the sole factor for investment risk, the application of this model provides valuable learning precisely because of its simplicity so as to provides a clear picture and thus need to be learned as basic knowledge in Managing Portfolio/ Investments.

Spillover effects from Equity markets to Commodity markets and vice-versa are of interest to researchers for a while now. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the volatility spillover from the Indian Equity markets to Commodity Futures markets. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) turned into proxies of equity markets while Cardamom, Cotton, Menthaoil, and CPO are proxies of the commodity market. Each proxy of the equity markets and commodity markets were converted into a log-scale return. Granger causality is employed to identify the direction of information flow. Results reveal that there is no bi-directional causality from Equity markets to Commodity markets. At the same time, returns on cardamom are affected by returns on BSE, and Returns on Cotton affects Equity markets. Further, Dynamic Conditional Correlation Generalised Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (DCC-GARCH) is applied to investigate the volatility spillover from equity markets to commodity markets. There is no volatility spillover or transmission in the short-run, but there is a possibility of spillover from the BSE and NSE to the constituent commodities. The study has implications for both academia and market participants such as portfolio managers, the stock exchanges and the market regulator Keywords: Volatility Spillover, Equity markets, Commodity markets, Granger Causality, Dynamic Conditional correlation

PurposeThis study presents research on the awareness and aspirations of millennials towards different investment asset classes with a special focus on cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies are technology dependent digital money systems which have created a buzz in the financial markets in a very short period of time. Digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, etc., are considered as a new investment asset category that seems to be associated with high risk and return. There are a number of advantages and disadvantages associated with them, but countries, like Japan and the US, have accepted them for some types of transaction, however, India, one of the five largest emerging economies of 2018, has still not accepted them. In spite of government and regulatory inertia towards cryptocurrencies, we have found that awareness and aspiration to invest in this category among millennials is increasing. The objective of this paper is to understand the investment attitudes of millennial investors towards the desire to invest in cryptocurrencies given the disposition of this generation towards the digital world and technologies.Study designThis study is conducted in Mumbai to assess the interest levels in this category especially among the millennial generation. This is a primary research study and data has been collected via face-to-face interviews, and a structured questionnaire, with suitable open-ended questions, involving 100 millennial retail investors in Mumbai, and a random sampling method. The participants were aware of the risk level of the selected financial products. Descriptive statistics and advance analysis techniques, such as correlation, factor and multiple regression analysis, were used as tools to describe relationships in the investment category, to decipher the pattern of the decision-making process among millennials with respect to investment in different categories of financial products.FindingsThe underlying motivation for any financial investment is growth and appreciation of value at an expected rate of return. It is this motivation that needs to be managed by any financial planner, and this is the foundational finding of our research with respect to cryptocurrencies. This study provides information to regulators, recommending adoption of cryptocurrencies within a regulated structure in India.LimitationsThis study has been conducted in Mumbai only.ImplicationsThe fundamental objective of any investment is a positive return and that positive return has to be well managed by governments, regulators and financial marketers.ContributionThis study presents new evidence given the changes that have occurred recently in the financial markets and also highlights the variables that could be determining factors of risk appetite/tolerance for millennial retail investors. It clearly highlights that financial literacy and maturity of millennial investors will drive interest levels in a particular asset class. Prior knowledge about the level of diffusion and adoption of cryptocurrencies as a new asset among Indian millennials will help in creating a relevant policy framework. This will also help in creating a society-safety network among rising digital communities. This is a potentially transparent technological solution that can facilitate many financial solutions such as investments, remittances, and innovative ways to build financial inclusion in society.
... The growth rate of gross domestic product is the most important indicator of the performance of the economy. According to Chandra (2004) the growth rate of the gross domestic product and the stock market returns have positive relationship, the higher the growth rate other things being equal, the more favourable it is for the stock market. However, this postulation differs from the results above probably owing to the fact that the Nigerian real gross domestic product has not really witnessed sustainable growth over the years due to uncoordinated and unproductive government policies. ...

This paper analyses the impact of uncontrollable risk factors on investment performance in the Nigerian Capital market applying the Arbitrage Pricing Theory. The specific objective was to examine the effect of inflation rate risk, interest rate risk, exchange rate volatility risk, money supply rate of change, real gross domestic product and treasury bill rate on investment performance in the Nigerian Capital market. We extracted thirty-year (1988-2017) panel data from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and published annual reports of five quoted companies in the Nigerian Stock Exchange for investment performance proxy by price earnings ratio. Five models were specified to express the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable for five quoted companies in the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The models were estimated using the Ordinary Least Square Regression analysis and the global utility of the models were also evaluated. On the basis of our analysis, we found that investment performance for the Nigerian Capital market does not toe the line of the objectives of the Arbitrage Pricing Theory as the selected uncontrollable risk factors do not have significant impact on investment performance for the period under review. We therefore recommended Policy motivations aimed at managing market realities in the capital market, government to pursue prudent and transparent macroeconomic policies for the single intent to develop the capital market. Regulators and government should embark on well calculated steps geared towards curtailing the negative influences from uncontrollable risk factors affecting investment performance in the Nigerian capital market. Introduction Arbitrage pricing theory, as an alternative model to the capital asset pricing model, tries to explain asset or portfolio returns with systematic factors and asset/portfolio sensitivities to such factors. The theory estimates the expected returns of a well-diversified portfolios with the underlying assumption that portfolios are well-diversified and any discrepancy from the equilibrium price in the market would be instantaneously driven away by investors. Any difference between actual return and expected return is explained by factor surprises (differences between expected and actual values of factors). The drawback of arbitrage pricing theory is that it does not specify the systematic factors, but analysts can find these by regressing historical portfolio returns against factors such as real Gross Domestic Product growth rates, inflation changes, term structure changes, risk premium changes and so on. Regression equations make it possible to assess which systematic factors explain portfolio returns and which do not. Security returns can be predicted by factor models such as the capital asset pricing model or the arbitrage pricing theory. Note that sufficient securities are required to diversify away unsystematic risk in a portfolio. Well-functioning markets do not allow for the persistence of arbitrage opportunities as applies to well diversified portfolios. Due to lack of other assumptions multifactor models like the Arbitrage Pricing Theory allows for other (risk) factors that an asset may co-vary with and therefore enjoy increased returns which will lead to other terms in the model and there is no guidance on appropriate factors to be included in the model. However, only risk from selected factors are priced. Each new factor is self-financing and as such has a zero-net cost, the βeta on each factor represents the level of sensitivity to that particular factor.
... According to Badoo, Hammond & Oppong (2020), Public institutions are normally required to undertake risk assessment, select and develop control activities, deploys policies and procedures geared towards mitigating fraud and error. Chandra (2002) argues that institutions require establishment of modern yardsticks to regulate fraud-related risks since they are everywhere and surrounds our personal activities or professional lives. Though it is difficult to eliminate completely, one can minimize risk by employing risk assessment techniques in his personal and professional capacity. ...

The proliferation of banking sector is an indicator of economic growth in Bangladesh. Conventional Banks as well as the Islamic Banks significantly influence the national economy although there are a number of dissimilarities between the two banking systems. This study was carried out to identify the differences of Conventional and Islamic Banking sectors in terms of ratio analysis. A total of 10 banks in which 5 Conventional and 5 Islamic banks were selected for the study. Some key financial ratios were being used for the analysis. It is found from the study that the Conventional and Islamic Banks had much influence on the national economy as they hold the deposit of general public and invest the funds in profitable projects. The earnings per share (EPS), return on asset (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and return on capital employed (ROCE) were greater in Islamic Banks. It clearly indicates that the Islamic Banks were more profitable and performing a good job in the context of Bangladesh although people preferred Conventional Banking most.

This paper examines the buy and hold investment strategy, a passive approach where investors buy securities and hold them long-term regardless of market fluctuations. The rationale is that patient investors are rewarded over time despite short-term volatility. This research analyzes building and evaluating a buy and hold portfolio. First, a 12-stock portfolio across sectors is constructed using equal weighting and optimization during the Covid-19 pandemic. Equal weighting underperforms optimization that sets asset weights based on risk and return. Next, a 12-stock banking sector portfolio is built. Again, optimization improves results over equal weighting by accounting for risk and correlations. Though past performance does not guarantee future results, historically the buy and hold strategy has provided steady growth for long-term investors able to hold through downturns. Proper diversification and research are critical when constructing a buy and hold portfolio. While sacrificing potential short-term gains, this passive strategy aims to produce satisfying returns over the long run for investors with the appropriate temperament and perspective. However, the strategy may not suit those requiring active management or with lower risk tolerance.

Net Asset Value (NAV) is the rational market value of a mutual fund's securities and other assets with fewer liabilities. Net Asset Value can be used as a benchmark in monitoring the results of a mutual fund. Mutual fund results and performance cannot be separated from various internal and external factors. This study purposes to analyze the character of IHSG/ IDX Composite in mediating the effect of inflation and the rupiah exchange rate on the equity mutual funds’ NAV in Indonesia during the period of 2015-2019. This study benefits panel data with path analysis techniques by using the Smart PLS. The results show that inflation influences negatively and insignificantly on Equity Mutual Funds’ NAV. IDX Composite has negative and insignificant effect on Equity Mutual Funds’ NAV, and the Rupiah Exchange Rate have the positive and significant influence on Equity Mutual Funds’ NAV. The value of the coefficient of determination is 49.8%, which means how much the Equity Funds’ NAV can be explained by Inflation, IDX Composite, and Rupiah Exchange Rate. Moreover, the remaining 50.2% is effected by other variables.

A successful investment strategy would be based on the ability of the analyst to identify a security that can generate desired returns at an acceptable level of risk. It would also allow you to buy or invest in such a security when it is available at a lower/cheaper (than usual) price (in a market) and sell the same security when it is trading at a higher price (in the same or another market). This chapter focuses on the former of these aspects: the identification of a security which is intrinsically sound and can generate returns. The analysis so deployed is called fundamental analysis. The analysis undertaken for the estimation of the appropriate time to buy or sell such a security is termed technical analysis and will form the subject matter of the next chapter. Both these analyses are conducted to select appropriate financial instruments, whether debt or equity, based on the risk–return profile of the investor.

The absolute risk of a security can be bifurcated into systematic and unsystematic risk. The latter is eliminated by more and more diversification. On the other hand, the systematic risk cannot be eliminated and correlated with the market. A stock is efficient if there is no unsystematic risk. Therefore, the only effect security has on the market risk is through its systematic risk; by calculating systematic risk, one cannot conclude whether securities are exactly priced or not. CAPM helps to identify the qualitative assets which are under-priced or over-priced. Thus, selecting the stock is become a challenge to get the expected return by the investor. For facilitating the investor for the selection of right-priced stocks, this research is done with the help of CAPM with respect to NSE NIFTY stocks.
