W TO ACHIEVE SE OBJECTIVES? Portfolio Management PART 1: PORTFOLIO THEORIES Why should I save and invest my money? Why shouldn't I enjoy my entire income immediately? In our life ear ming cycle is shorter than spending cycle. Earning cycle is usually from the age to 25 years to 60 years while spending cycle is from birth till death. Also there are some lump sum spending but earnings are not usually lump sum to match those spending. Therefore one has to save and invest money to even out this mismatch. Now you cannot keep your savings ideal, you need to keep it working to fight at least against inflation, There are number of investment opportunities like Bullion, Real estate, Art work & Securities. In this chapter we will focus on securities Securities include Shares, Debentures, Bonds ete Three primary investment objectives are as under: 1) Return: Investor would like to earn higher returns. This is normally ‘most important objective of most of the investors. Philosophy is that first you work for money then your money should work for you. 2) Risk: Investor will try to reduce the risk of his investment and the best way is to reduce it by diversification. Means making investment in more than one security. This bunch of investments is called Portfolio. 3) Liguidity: Means nearness to cash. Investor would like to have appropriate liquidity. Means whenever he needs his money he can easily sell the investment. Ifyou want to make investment of your savings your can makeit in one of, the following two methods: 1) Direct Investment 2) Investment through Mutual funds.

There are various portfolio theories given by various experts to achieve one or more investment objectives. A portfolio theory guides investors about the method of selecting securities that will provide the highest expected rate of return for any given degree of risk or that will expose the investor to a degree of risk for a given expected rate of return Portfolio theory can be discussed under two heads 1. Traditional Approach : 2, Modern Approach i) DowJones theory ii) Random Walk theory iii) Formula plan iv) Capital Asset Pricing Model Traditional approach: Following are the various aspects covered in this approach 1, Investor's study includes an insight into his - (a) age, health, responsibilities, other ts, portfolio needs; (b) need for income, capital maintenance, liquidity; (c) attitude towards risk; and (4) Taxation status; Portfolio objectives are defined with reference to maximizing the investors’ wealth. which is subject to risk. The higher the level of risk borne, the more the expected return: Investment strategy covers examining a number of a Balancing fixed interest securities against equities; (b) Balancing high dividend payout companies against high earning growth companies as required by investor; (©) Finding the income or the growth portfolio; (@) Balancing income tax payable against capital gains tax; (©) Balancing transaction cost against capital gains from rapid switching; and (® Retaining some liquidity to seize upon bargains, Diversification reduces volatility of returns and risks and thus adequate equity diversification is sought. Balancing of equities against fixed interest bearing securities is also sought. In India, most of the share and stock brokers follow the above traditional approach for selecting a portfolio for their clients. MODERN APPROACHES Dow Jones Theory: The Dow Jones Theory is probably the most popular theory the behavior of stock market prices. The theory derives its name from Charles H. Dow, Although Dow never gave a proper shape to the theory, ideas have been expanded and articulated by many of his successors. ss rding Jassifies the movements of the prices on the share my; sory classifies the ‘The Dow Jones theory, major categories: 1. Primary Movements. Secondary Movements 3.

Prices do uot fal conalcaliy and, after ench fall, there is core iin anette arrears higher than the previous peak The theory argues that primary movements indicate basic trends in thy market. It states that ifeyelical swings of stock market price indices are succes higher, the market trend is up and there is a bull market. On the contrary, if suecessiy, highs and lows are successively lower, the market is on a downward trend and we ares bear market. This theory thus relies upon the behavior of the indices of share marke prices in perceiving the trend in the market. ° NOt ris, + they fai ach highs, Will stan econdary movements: When the primary trend is upward, there are also downward movements of prices. Similarly, even Where the pi \e primary trend is d ard, there are upward movements of prices also.

These fluctuations are wi ‘Thus if the daily share market price index for a few months is plotted on the graph it will show both upward and downward fluctuations. These fluctuations are the result of speculative factors. Ai Aaattment manager really is not interested i since heis not a speculator.

Thus supporters of the theory argue that market prices can be predicted if their patterns can be properly understood. Such analysis of stock market patterns is called technical analysis. Apart from this theors there are many approaches to technical analysis, Most of them, however, involve a g00 deal of subjective judgment, reached. Therefore, he has te Many investment managers and stock market analysts believe that stock market prices can never be predicted because they are not a result of any underlying factors but arc mere stastical ups and downs. This hypothesis is known as Random Walk hypothesis which states that the behavior of stock market pricesis unpredictable and that there relationship between the present prices of the shares and their future prices. Proponen' of this hypothesis argue that stock market prices are independent. In the layman's language it may be said that prices on the stock exchange behave exactly the way a drunk would behave while walking in a blind lane, i.e.. up and down, with an unsteady way going in any direction he likes, bending on the side once and on the other side the second time. FORMULA PLAN We have seen that the basic objective in timing the investment decisions is to buy low and sell high, However, this process is full of pitfalls and errors in judgment. Formula plans have, therefore, been devised to force the investment manager to follow a path that would enable him to buy securities when they are cheap and sell them when the prices are high. These plans follow an automatic procedure and are suitable for small investors as well as for investment managers of large funds. They provide an automatic timing device for ling the buy and sell transaetion. Under the formula plans, the total investible funds are divided into two major categorie 1. A specified percentages, say 50%, is to be invested in fixed income securiti includes bank deposits, debentures and Government securities. ete. 2. The second part is invested in securities yielding variable dividends like ordinary shares. In our example, since 50% of the monies are invested in fixed income securities, the balance 50% would be invested in variable securities. ‘The main advantage of the formula plan is that buying and selling is done automatically and the investment manager is not swayed by general sentiment in the market, ‘There is noeffort tochart and find out the market trend, This Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM): Refer Part IV ® | 9893040600 4@ ~=REGULAR INVESTMENT- “ae _ MARKOWITZ MODEL vestor should be able to calculate return & risk ¢ & risk of the portfolio(s).

In an efficient market, the price of individual assets will reflect a real or intrinsic value of a share as the market prices will adjust quickly to any new situation. 2) Rational investment goals: Investors desire higher return for any acceptable level ofriskor the lowest risk for any desired level of return, Such a rational choice is made on logical and consistent ranking of proposals. 3) Risk aversion in efficient market is adhered to although at times risk seeking behaviour is adopted for gains. 4) CAPM assumes that all assets are divisible and liquid assets, 5) Investors are able to borrow freely at a risk less rate of interest i.e. borrowings can fetch equal return by investing in safe Government securities. 6) Securities can be exchanged without payment of brokerage, commissions or taxes and without any transaction cost. 7) Securities or capital assets face no bankruptcy or insolvency. IMPLICATIONS OF CAPM Ithas the following implications: 1) Investor can expect returns from their investment according to risk. More risk more return and less risk less return. It mean that there is linear relationship between the asset's expected return and its systematic risk (Beta), This relationship is given by the following equation: @ | 9893040600 Frbytm.con, > ed £(R, )=R, +R. RIB deal expectation of investor R-=Risk free rate of return (say return on govt. bonds) R.=Returnon well diversified market portfolio (say return on Sensex) RR, RYO = = Index of systematic risk Risk premium on market portfolio isk premium on investor's portfolio 2). Investor will be compensated only for that risk which they cannot diversify. This is the market related risk (called Systematic Risk). Beta, which is a ratio of Covariance between an asset's returns and market returns divided by the market variance, isthe most appropriate measure of an asset's Systematic Risk. Mathematically: Covariance between an asses return and market retura Covariance (p,m) Variance of market returne Variance(m) ADVANTAGES & LIMITATION OF CAPM ‘Theadvantages of CAPM can be listed as: 1) Risk Adjusted Retumn: It provides a reasonable basis for estim return on an investment which has risk in built into it. Hence it Adjusted Discount Rate in Capital Budgeting. 2) No Dividend Company: It is useful in com, does not declare dividend. nating the required can be used as Risk puting the cost of equity ofa company which ‘There are certain limitations of CAPM as well, which are discussed as follows (a) Reliability of Beta: Statistically reliable Beta might not exist for shares of meny firms. It may not be possibleto determine th cos of equity ofall rms acing erent All shortcomings that apply to Beta value applies to CAPM too.
