INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
Capital market is now going through a turbulent state. The downturn in global
economy is having a significant impact on the performance of capital market. The recent
volatility in capital market and the complex state of the financial market has added to the
concerns of both retail and institutional investors.
In the present uncertain state of capital market, the concerns of the investors are of
twofold: how to ensure adequate return on their investment and how to control the risk
associated with their investment. In such a situation financial modelling for risk management
is the key to achieving investment objective of the investor. It involves structuring the
investment portfolio in a scientific way in order to ensure superior performance. This requires
application of portfolio optimization algorithms.
Portfolio optimization techniques, not only ensures superior returns on the investment
portfolio, but also ensures efficient diversification resulting in superior risk reduction. In an
uncertain state, as is now, the importance of financial modelling techniques involving the use
of portfolio optimization techniques cannot be over emphasized as poor investment decisions
can seriously undermine the long term welfare and wealth accumulation of the investors.
The Project entitled “Financial Modelling for Risk management using Portfolio”
examines the use of Sharpe’s optimization models in and superior portfolio performance. The
study examines the effectiveness of Sharpe’s Optimization Model.
1.2 SCOPE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The enormous growth in over the last twenty years in India has created a number of
new investors in capital market. One of the major concerns of the investors now is how to
ensure superior performance of their investment ensuring at the same time protection of their
wealth. As investors are now operating in a complex and uncertain investment environment,
poor investment decisions can seriously undermine the long term welfare and wealth
accumulation of the investors.
Under this complex and uncertain investment environment, financial modelling for
risk management assumes more significance. The study examines how portfolio optimization
models can improve the performance of portfolios and help investors to achieve their
investment objectives.

1.3. RESEARCH PROBLEM
The recent downturn in global economy is having a profound impact on Indian
Capital Market. The recent high volatility of the capital market due to the turmoil of the
global financial market has increased the concern of the investors. Investors are now realizing
the importance of efficient asset allocations in achieving their investment objectives under
present uncertain and complex investment environment. Efficient asset allocation can be
achieved only through application of superior portfolio optimization techniques. The present
study examines the use of the portfolio optimization algorithms in ensuring superior asset
allocation and superior portfolio performance. “Financial modelling for risk management
using portfolio” is helps to select optimal portfolio for investment and ensure maximum
return to the investors

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Portfolio is a collection of assets .Creation of portfolio helps to reduce risk without
sacrificing returns. It is rare to find investors investing in a single security, instead of this they
tend to invest in a group of securities. Such a group of securities is called a portfolio.
Portfolio management deals with the analysis of individual securities as well as with
the theory and practice of optimally combining securities in to portfolio. An investor is faced
with problems in choosing the securities among the large number of securities. His choice
depends upon risk return returns characteristics of individual securities. Another problem is
how much to invest in each security. The risk return characteristics of a portfolio differ from
those of individual securities combining to form a portfolio. The investor tries to choose the
optimal portfolio taking in to consideration the risk return characteristics of all possible
portfolios. Portfolio management is a complex process which tries to make investment
activity more rewarding and less risky.
Portfolio management process consist of the following five process,
1. Security analysis
2. Portfolio analysis
3. Portfolio selection
4. Portfolio revision
5. Portfolio evaluation
The success of portfolio management depends on how effectively each phase s carried
out.
1. SECURITY ANALYSIS
Security analysis is the initial phase of the portfolio management process. This step
consists of examining the risk return characteristics of individual securities. For the purpose
of analysis twelve securities are selected and the return, risk and risk adjusted rate of return
are determined. There are two alternative approaches to security analysis they are
fundamental analysis and technical analysis. They are based on different premises and follow
different techniques. Fundamental analysis concentrates on fundamental factors affecting the

company such as the EPS of the company, the dividend pay-out ratio, competition faced by
the company, market share .quality management, etc According to this approach the share
price of this company is determined by these fundamental factors. The fundament analysts
works out the true worth or intrinsic values of a security based on its fundamentals and then
compares this value with the current market price. If the current market price is higher than
the intrinsic value the share is said to be overpriced. Fundamental analysis helps to identify
fundamentally strong companies whose shares are worthy to be included in the investor’s
portfolio.
Technical analysis concentrates on price movements and ignores the fundamental s of
shares. The technical analyst believes that the share price movements are systematic and
exhibit certain consistent patterns .He therefore studies past movements in the prices of
shares to identify trends and patterns .He then tries to predict the future price movement s.
The current market is compared with the future predicted price to determine the extent of
mispricing.
More recent approach to security analysis is the efficient market hypothesis. This
hypothesis holds that share movements are random and not systematic. According to this
approach it is possible for an investor to earn normal returns by randomly choosing securities
of a given risk level.
2. PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS
Portfolio analysis phase of portfolio management consist of identifying the range of
portfolios that can be constituted from a given set of securities and calculating their return
and risk for further analysis. It is better to invest in a group of securities rather than a single
security. Such a group of securities held together as an investment is known as a portfolio. A
rational investor attempts to find out the most efficient portfolio. The efficiency can be
evaluated only in terms of the expected return and risk of different portfolio.
Security analysis provides the investor with a set of worthwhile or desirable
securities. From this set of securities an indefinitely large number of portfolios can be
constructed by choosing different set of securities and also by varying the proportion of
investment in each security. Each of these securities has its own risk return characteristics
which are not just the aggregate of individual security characteristics. The risk and return can

be measured and expressed quantitatively. Portfolio is being constructed using the following
formulas:
3. PORTFOLIO SELECTION
The proper goal of portfolio construction is to generate a portfolio that provides the
highest return at a given level of risk .A portfolio having this characteristic is known as
efficient portfolio. From this set of efficient portfolios, optimal portfolio has to be selected for
investment.
4. PORTFOLIO REVISION
Having constructed the optimal portfolio, the investor has to constantly monitor the
portfolio to ensure that it continues to be optimal. Portfolio revision involves changing the
existing mix of securities. The main objective of portfolio revision is to ensure the optimality
of the revised portfolio. Portfolio revision is not a causal process of portfolio management,
portfolio revision is as important as portfolio analysis and selection.
Portfolio revision may also be necessitated by some investor related changes such as
availability of additional fund, changes in risk attitude, need of cash for other alternative use
etc. portfolio revision has to be done scientifically and objectively so as to ensure the
optimality of the revised portfolio.
5. PORTFOLIO EVALUATION
The objective of constructing and revising it periodically is to earn maximum returns
with minimum risk. Portfolio evaluation is the process which is concerned with assessing the
performance of the portfolio over a selected period of time in terms of return and risk. It
provides mechanism for identifying weakness in the investment process for improving these
deficient areas. It provides a feedback mechanism for improving the entire portfolio
management process
TOOLS FOR PORTFOLIO EVALUATION
 SHARPE RATIO
The performance measured developed by William Sharpe is referred to as the Sharpe
ratio. It is the ratio of the reward or risk premium to the variability of return or risk as

measured by the standard deviation of return. The formula for calculating Sharpe ratio may
be stated as
Sharpe ratio (SR) = (portfolio Return – Risk free rate of return)
Portfolio standard deviation
=
𝑅𝑝−𝑅𝑓
𝜎𝑝
Where
Rp=realized return on the portfolio
Rf=Risk free rate of return
σp=Standard deviation of portfolio return
 TREYNOR RATIO
The performance measure developed by Jack Treynor is referred to as Treynor ratio
or reward to volatility ratio. It is the ratio of the reward or risk premium to the volatility of
return as measured by the portfolio beta. The formula for calculating Treynor ratio may be
stated as
Treynor ratio= (Portfolio Return- Risk free rate of return)/Portfolio beta
=
𝑅𝑝−𝑅𝑓
𝛽
Where
Rp=realized return on the portfolio
Rf=Risk free rate of return
βp=Portfolio beta
Both the measures are relative measures of performance because they relate the return
to the risk involved. However they differ in the measure of risk used for the purpose. Sharpe
uses the total risk as measured by standard deviation, while treynor employs the systematic
risk as measured by the beta coefficient in a fully diversified portfolio all the unsystematic

risk would be diversified away and the relevant measure of risk would be the beta coefficient.
For such a portfolio Treynor ratio would be the appropriate measure of performance
evaluation .For a portfolio that is not so well diversified , the Sharpe ratio using the the total
risk measure would be the appropriate performance measure.
 JENSEN RATIO
Another type of risk adjusted performance has been developed by the Michael Jensen
and is referred to a Jensen ratio. This ratio measures the differential between actual return
earned on a portfolio given its level of risk. The CAPM model is used to to calculate the
expected return on a portfolio. The difference between the return that a portfolio should earn
for a given level of risk
Jensen Measure (αp)=Rp-E(Rp)
Where,
Rp- Realized return of the portfolio
E(Rp)-Expected return of the portfolio
E(Rp)=Rf+βp(Rm-Rf)
βp-Beta of portfolio
Rm-Market return
Rf-Risk free rate of return
The difference between the return actually earned on a portfolio and the return
expected from the portfolio is a measure of the excess return.
The differential return is calculated as follows
αp= Rp- E(Rp)
Where
αp=Differential return earned
Rp= actual return earned on the portfolio

E(Rp)=Expected return
DIVERSIFICATION
If one holds, say, equal amount of risky assets that are not perfectly correlated, the
portfolio expected return will be the average of the expected returns of the asset in the
portfolio. However the portfolio standard deviation will be, less than the average of the
standard deviation of the assets in the portfolio.
The power of this statement may be explained by imagining two assets with the same
expected return and the same standard deviation of the return. by holding both assets in a
portfolio, one obtain the same expected return as either one of them, but a standard deviation
that is lower than any one of them individually. Thus diversification leads to a reduction in
risk without any sacrifice in expected return.
RISK AND RETURN
While making a decision regarding investment and financing, the investor seeks to
achieve right balance between risks and return in order to optimize the value. Return and risk
go together in investment. Everything an investor does is tied directly or indirectly to return
and risk. The concept of return and risk is explained below.
RISK
Risk is the potential for variability in return. The expected return is the uncertain
future return that an investor expects to get from his investments. The realized return on
contrary is the certain return that an investor has actually obtained from his investment from
the end of the holiday period. The risk arises where there is a possibility of variation between
expectations and realizations with regard to an investment.
Element of Risk.
The essence of risk is an investment is the variation in its returns. This variation in
returns is caused by a number of factors. These factors which produce variation in the return
from an investment constitute the element of risk.
Total risk = Systematic Risk + Unsystematic Risk.

Systematic Risk
The impact of economic, political and social changes is system-wide and that portion
of total variability in security return caused by such system- wide factor is referred to as
systematic risk. Systematic risk is further sub divided into:
1. Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk is a type of systematic risk that particularly affects
securities like bond and debentures. The risk caused as the variation in bond prices caused
due to the variation in interest rate is known as interest rate risk.
2. Market risk: Market risk is a type of systematic risks that affect the shares. Market risk is
the increased variability of investor returns due to the alternating movement of share market.
3. Purchasing power risk: It refers to the variation in investor return caused by inflation.
Inflation causes a variation in the purchasing power of the returns from an investment. This is
known as purchasing power risk and its impact is uniformly felt on all securities in the market
and as such, is a systematic risk.
Unsystematic Risk
The return from a security may vary because of certain factors affecting only the
company issuing such securities. When variability of returns occurs because of such firm-
specific factors it is known as unsystematic risk. The unsystematic risk or unique risk
affecting specific securities arises from two sources.
• The operating environment of the company
• The financing pattern adopted by the company
These two types of unsystematic risk are referred to as business risk and financial risk
1. Business risk: Business risk is thus a function of the operating conditions faced by a
company and is the variability in operating conditions of the company.
2. Financial risk: Financial risk is a function of financial leverage which is the use of debt in
the capital structure. The variability in EPS due to the presence of debt in capital structure of
a company is referred to as financial risk.

MEASUREMENT OF RISK
Expected Returns
The expected return of the investment is the probability weighted average of all the
possible returns.
Ri = α¡+ β¡ Rm
Measurement of Systematic Risk
The systematic risk of a security is measured by a statistical measure called Beta
βi = rim σi σm
σ²m
RETURN
Return is a motivating force, inspiring the investor in the form of rewards, for
undertaking the investment. The importance of return in any investment decision can be trace
to the following factors:
 It enables the investor to compare alternative investment in terms of what they have to
offer the investor.
 Measurement of historical (past) return enables the investor to assess how well they
have done.
 Measurement of historical returns also helps in estimation of future returns.
Components of Return
Return is basically made up of two components:
 The periodic cash receipt or income on the investment in the form of interest,
dividend etc.The term yield is often used in connection with this component of return.
Yield refers to the income derived from a security in relation to its price, usually its
purchase price.
 The appreciation (depreciation) in the price of the asset, is referred to as capital
gain(loss).this is the difference between the purchase price and the price at which the
asset can be, or is, sold.

OPTIMAL PORTFOLIO SELECTION
The objective of every rational investor is to maximize his returns and minimize the
risk. Diversification is the method adopted for reducing risk. It essentially results in the
construction of portfolios. The proper goal of portfolio construction would be to generate a
portfolio that provides the highest return and the lowest risk. Such a portfolio would be
known as the optimal portfolio. The process of finding the optimal portfolio is described as
portfolio selection.
PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION
Portfolio optimization is a part of portfolio selection. Portfolio optimization helps to
maximize the returns with minimum risk.
OPTIMAL PORTFOLIO SELECTION USING SHARPE’S OPTIMIZATION
MODEL
The Sharpe’s optimization model was developed by researcher William Sharpe.
Sharpe had provided a model for the selection of appropriate securities in a portfolio. In this
model, the ranking criteria are used to order the stocks for selecting the optimal portfolio. The
Sharpe optimization model uses excess return to beta as the performance measure of
individual securities so as to include in the portfolio Sharpe had provided a model for the
selection of appropriate securities to be included in a portfolio. The selection of any stock is
directly related to its excess return beta ratio.
FORMATION OF OPTIMAL PORTFOLIO
The inclusion of any security in the portfolio is directly related to its excess return to
beta ratio. Excess return is the difference between the expected return on the stock and the
risk free rate of interest such as rate of return on Government securities. The excess return-to-
beta ratio measures the additional return on a stock (excess return over the risk free rate) per
unit of non –diversifiable risk. This ratio gets easy interpretation and acceptance because this
ratio gives relationship between potential reward risks. The numerator of this ratio gives the
extra return over the risk- free rate and the denominator give the non-diversifiable risk.

Excess return to beta ratio= (Ri-Rf)/βi
Where
Ri = the expected return on security i
Rf = the return on risk less asset
βi = the expected change in the ratio of return on stock I associated with a 1% change in
the market return
If the stock ranked by excess return –to – beta (from highest to lowest), ranking
represents the desirability of a stock inclusion in the portfolio. This implies that if a particular
stock with a specific ratio of (Ri-Rf)/βi included in the optimal portfolio, all stocks with
higher ratio will also be included. On the other hand, if a stock with a particular (Ri-Rf)/βi is
excluded from an optimal portfolio; all stocks with a lower ratio will be excluded. The
number of stocks included in the optimal portfolio depends on a unique cut off rate which
ensures that all stocks with higher (Ri-Rf)/βi will be included and all stocks with lower ratios
should be excluded. Cut off rate is denoted by “C*”
The steps for finding out the stocks to be included in the optimal portfolio are given
below
1. Find out the “excess return to beta” ratio for each stock under consideration
2. Rank them from the highest to lowest.
3. Proceed to calculate Ci for all stocks according to the ranked order using the
following formula
Ci= (𝜎²𝑚
(𝐑𝐢 − 𝐑𝐟)/𝛔²𝐞𝐢)/(𝟏 + 𝛔 𝟐
𝐦 (𝛃 𝐢 𝟐
/𝛔²𝐞𝐢))𝐧
𝐢=𝟎
βi =Beta of each security
σi =Risk of security
Ri =Return of each security
Rf =Risk free rate of return

Ci= Cut off rate
σ2m=Variance of the market index
σ2ei = Unsystematic Risk
4. The cumulated values of Ci starts declining after a particular Ci and that point is taken
as the cut-off point and that stock ratio is the cut –off ratio C*
CONSTRUCTING THE OPTIMAL PORTFOLIO
Once the cut-off rate is determined the next step is calculating the proportion to be
invested in each security. The proportion invested in each security is:
𝑿𝒊 = 𝒁𝒊/ 𝒁𝒊
𝒏
𝒊=𝟏
Where
𝒁𝒊 =
𝜷𝒊
𝝈 𝟐 𝒆𝒊
𝑹𝒊 − 𝑹𝒇
𝜷𝒊
− 𝑪 ∗
Zi =weight on each security
βi =Beta of each security
σ²ei =Unsystematic risk of security
Ri =return of each security
Rf =Risk free rate of return
C* = cut off rate
SINGLE INDEX MODEL
The basic notion underling the single index model is that all stocks are attracted by
movements in the stock market. Casual observation of share prices reveals that when the
market moves up (as measured by any of the widely used stock market indices), prices of
most of the shares tends to increase. When the market goes down, the price of most shares

tend to decline. This suggests that one reason why security returns might be correlated and
there is co-movement between securities, is because of a common response to market
changes. this co-movement of stocks with a market index may be studied with the help of a
simple linear regression analysis, taking the returns on an individual security as the depended
variable(Ri) and the returns on the market index (Rm)as the independent variable.
The return of individual securities may be expressed as:
𝑹𝒊 = 𝜶𝒊 + 𝜷𝒊(𝑹𝒎 + 𝒆𝒊)
Where,
α¡ is the component of security i's return that is independent of the market performance.
Rm is the rate of return on the market index.
β¡ is the constant that measures the expected change in Ri given a change in Rm.
e¡ is the error term representing the random or residual return.
Sharpe’s Optimal Portfolio
Sharpe has provided a model for the selection of the appropriate securities in the
portfolio. The selection of any stock is directly related to its excess return – beta ratio.
=
𝑹𝒊 − 𝑹𝒇
𝜷𝒊
where,
Ri – the expected return of the stock i.
Rf – Risk free return
βi - the expected change in the rate of return on the stock i, associated with one unit
change in the market return.
A fund allocated with the highest possible Sharpe ratio is said to be Sharpe optimal.
To find the Sharpe optimal portfolio, consider the plot on the investment opportunity set of
risk return possibilities for a portfolio. The slope of a straight line drawn from the risk-free

rate to a portfolio gives the Sharpe ratio for that portfolio. Hence, the portfolio on the line
with the steepest slope is the Sharpe optimal portfolio.
Ranking of the stock are done on the basis of their excess return to beta. Portfolio
manager would like to include stock with the highest ratio .The selection of the stocks
depends on a unique cut-off rate such that all stock higher ratio of Ri – Rf / βi are included
and stock within lower ratio are left off. The cut-off point is denoted by C*.Sharpe optimal
portfolio is one of the efficient portfolios on the Markowitz efficient frontier.
PORTFOLIO EVALUATION:
The optimized portfolios are being evaluated using the following tools.
i. Sharpe ratio
ii. Treynor ratio
iii. Jensen Measure
VALUE AT RISK
Risk management attempts to provide financial predictability for a company. Every
day firms face financial risks. Interest and exchange rate volatility, default on loans, and
changes in credit rating are some examples. These risks can be sorted into two categories-
credit risk and market risk. Credit risk includes all risks associated with the credit of specific
participants, such as potential default or changes in credit rating.
Market risk refers to risks affecting broad sectors of the economy, such as an increase
in interest rates, currency devaluation, or a decline in commodities prices, like aluminum and
oil. Financial analysts use a number of innovations to calculate and hedge against these kinds
of risk. One innovation that has been receiving immense attention is Value at Risk.
Value at Risk is a summary statistic that quantifies the exposure of an asset or
portfolio to market risk, or the risk that a position declines in value with adverse market price
changes. Measuring risk using VaR allows managers to statements regarding the expected
losses for a certain period.

To arrive at a VaR measure for a given portfolio, a firm must generate a probability
distribution of possible changes in the value of some portfolio over a specific time or “risk
horizon” .J.P.Morgan Chairman Dennis Weatherstone introduced this concept.
Different approaches for calculating VaR
VaR can be calculated in many ways. As a result, firms using different calculating
methods can arrive at different Value at Risk numbers for the same portfolio. There are
advantages and disadvantages in each method of calculating VaR
 Monte Carlo Simulation
 Variance Covariance model
 Historical Simulation Method
Monte Carlo Simulation
For applying Monte Carlo simulation technique, security prices are assumed to be a
random variable. It is also assumed that the stock market is efficient in the weak form (which
is true for Indian Market).Since stock price is a random variable; the stock price movement is
a stochastic process.
The Wiener process, which is a particular type of Markov stochastic process, best
defines the stock price movement. The mathematical model which defines the stock price
movements under Wiener process is given by the following mathematical relation:
∂s = μS∂t + σSЄ√∂ t
Where,
∂s = change in the stock price for a small change in time interval ∂ t
S= stock price at time t
μ = expected rate of return per unit of time
ε = Random drawing from a standardized normal distribution
σ = Volatility of stock price or standard deviation of the expected return
∂ t = A small time interval

The stock price after a small time interval ∂ t would be
ST = S+∂s
Since the period considered is very small, a logo normal return or continuously
compounded return would be more appropriate. So the expected return μ for period T is
defined as
𝝁 =
𝟏
𝑻
𝓵𝐧 ∗ (𝐒𝐭/𝐒𝟎)
Where
ST = Stock price at time T
SO = Stock price at time Zero
ℓn = Natural logarithm
T =Time interval in years
Following steps are involved in Monte Carlo Simulation to calculate one-day VaR for a
portfolio.
1. Determining the expected return and standard deviation of the return for the stock (μ
and σ).These are assumed to be constant.
2. Value the portfolio today.(in our case 31.4.2008) in the usual way by using current
value of the stock price .
3. Sample once from the multivariate normal probability distribution to determine the
value of ε (for the purpose we have used a random number generator to obtain the random
number ε with the computer by using Microsoft Excel)
4. Determine the change in value of the security and the new value of the security using
the relation.
For our analysis ∂ t = 1 day
5. Revalue the portfolio at the end of the day in the usual way.

6. Subtract the value calculated in step 2 from the value in steps to determine a sample
change in portfolio value ∂P.
7. Repeat steps (3) to (6) many times (in our case 500 times) to build up a probability
distribution for ∂P.
We have repeated the steps to obtain 500 sample values for ∂P. The VaR is calculated
at 99%and95% confidence level.
The 500 simulated values of changes in portfolio values so obtained are then sorted in
ascending order.1-day VaR at 99% is the 5th worst outcome and 1-day VaR at 95% is the
25th worst outcome.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Investment risk management in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) using technique of
Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is a paper presented by Darush Farid, (Department of
Economics, Management and Accounting, Yazd University, Yazd, Iran),Alireza Rajabipoor
Meybodi, (Department of Business Management, Meybod University – Payam E Noor
(PNU), Yazd-Meybod, Yazd, Iran), Seyed Heydar Mirfakhraddiny, (Department of
Economics, Management and Accounting, Yazd University, Yazd, Iran) with the purpose to
identify how to manage risk by the use of “value at risk (VaR) concept” with Monte Carlo
Simulation (MCS) technique in stock exchanges. The paper specifies which equity stocks
have been more affected on VaR in set of portfolio and which equity stocks are lesser
affected. In addition, the main result which is derived by the research shows that if there is a
loss at future, what is max the loss at the level confidence which could be imposed by
investors. Thus, the paper suggests how the investors can invest their capital so that they
would minimize their loss and maximize their profit.
Risk-return optimization with different risk-aggregation strategies is a journal presented
by Stan Uryasev, Ursula A Theiler and Gaia Serraino tells new methods of integrated risk
modelling play an important role in determining the efficiency of bank portfolio
management. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a systematic approach for risk strategies
formulation based on risk-return optimized portfolios, which applies different methodologies
of risk measurement in the context of actual regulatory requirements. The authors find
evidence that risk aggregation in Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)

should be based on risk-adjusted aggregation approaches, resulting in an efficient use of
economic capital. By using different values of confidence level in VaR and CVaR, deviation,
it is possible to obtain optimal portfolios with similar properties. Before deciding to insert
constraints on VaR or CVaR, one should analyze properties of the dataset on which
computation are based, with particular focus on the model for the tails of the distribution, as
none of them is “better” than the other.

INDUSTRY AND ORGANIZATION PROFILE

INTRODUCTION
Capital Market Evolution
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 meager 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.
The 1850's witnessed a rapid development of commercial enterprise and brokerage
business attracted many men into the field and by 1860 the number of brokers increased into
60.In 1860-61 the number of brokers increased to about 200 to 250. In 1865, a disastrous
slump began (for example, Bank of Bombay Share which had touched Rs 2850 could only be
sold at Rs. 87).
At the end of the American Civil War, the brokers who thrived out of Civil War in
1874, found a place in a street (now appropriately called as Dalal Street) where they would
conveniently assemble and transact business. In 1887, they formally established in Bombay,
the "Native Share and Stock Brokers' Association" (which is alternatively known as “The
Stock Exchange "). In 1895, the Stock Exchange acquired a premise in the same street and it
was inaugurated in 1899. Thus, the Stock Exchange at Bombay was consolidated.
Indian Stock Exchanges - An Umbrella Growth
The Second World War broke out in 1939. It gave a sharp boom which was followed
by a slump. But, in 1943, the situation changed radically, when India was fully mobilized as a
supply base. On account of the restrictive controls on cotton, bullion, seeds and other
commodities, those dealing in them found in the stock market as the only outlet for their
activities. They were anxious to join the trade and their number was swelled by numerous
others. Many new associations were constituted for the purpose and Stock Exchanges in all
parts of the country were floated.
The Uttar Pradesh Stock Exchange Limited (1940), Nagpur Stock Exchange Limited
(1940) and Hyderabad Stock Exchange Limited (1944) were incorporated. In Delhi two stock

exchanges - Delhi Stock and Share Brokers' Association Limited and the Delhi Stocks and
Shares Exchange Limited - were floated and later in June 1947, amalgamated into the Delhi
Stock Exchange Association Limited.
Trading Pattern of the Indian Stock Market
Trading in Indian stock exchanges is limited to listed securities of public limited
companies. They are broadly divided into two categories, namely, specified securities
(forward list) and non-specified securities (cash list). Equity shares of dividend paying,
growth-oriented companies with a paid-up capital of at least Rs.50 million and a market
capitalization of at least Rs.100 million and having more than 20,000 shareholders are,
normally, put in the specified group and the balance in non-specified group.
Two types of transactions can be carried out on the Indian stock exchanges: (a) spot
delivery transactions "for delivery and payment within the time or on the date stipulated
when entering into the contract which shall not be more than 14 days following the date of
the contract and (b) forward transactions "delivery and payment can be extended by further
period of 14 days each so that the overall period does not exceed 90 days from the date of the
contract". The latter is permitted only in the case of specified shares. The brokers who carry
over the outstandings pay carry over charges (cantango or backwardation) which are usually
determined by the rates of interest prevailing. A member broker in an Indian stock exchange
can act as an agent, buy and sell securities for his clients on a commission basis and also can
act as a trader or dealer as a principal, buy and sell securities on his own account and risk, in
contrast with the practice prevailing on New York and London Stock Exchanges, where a
member can act as a jobber or a broker only.
The nature of trading on Indian Stock Exchanges are that of age old conventional
style of face-to-face trading with bids and offers being made by open outcry. However, there
is a great amount of effort to modernize the Indian stock exchanges in the very recent times.
Over The Counter Exchange of India (OTCEI)
The traditional trading mechanism prevailed in the Indian stock markets gave way to
many functional inefficiencies, such as, absence of liquidity, lack of transparency, unduly
long settlement periods and benami transactions, which affected the small investors to a great
extent.

To provide improved services to investors, the country's first ringless, scripless,
electronic stock exchange - OTCEI - was created in 1992 by country's premier financial
institutions - Unit Trust of India, Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India,
Industrial Development Bank of India, SBI Capital Markets, Industrial Finance Corporation
of India, General Insurance Corporation and its subsidiaries and CanBank Financial Services.
Trading at OTCEI is done over the centres spread across the country. Securities traded
on the OTCEI are classified into:
• Listed Securities - The shares and debentures of the companies listed on the OTC can
be bought or sold at any OTC counter all over the country and they should not be
listed anywhere else
• Permitted Securities - Certain shares and debentures listed on other exchanges and
units of mutual funds are allowed to be traded
• Initiated debentures - Any equity holding at least one lakh debentures of particular
scrip can offer them for trading on the OTC.
The Indian Financial system is regulated and supervised by two government agencies
under the Ministry of Finance - They are:
• The Reserve Bank of India [RBI]
• The Securities Exchange Board of India [SEBI]
All parts of the financial system are interconnected with one another and the
jurisdictions of the RBI and the SEBI overlap in many fields.
• Securities and Exchange Board of India
• Stock Exchanges of India
Scope of Capital Market Research
We were next faced with another difficult question about what can be classified as a
work on capital markets. A variety of work in economics, accounting and finance would have
some linkages with capital markets. Works in corporate finance have strong linkages with
security markets. For our purpose therefore, we considered works falling into any of the
following categories as those belonging to the field of capital markets: valuation of stocks

and functioning of the stock markets; valuation of bonds, convertible debentures and market
for debt; new issues market and merchant banking; market efficiency; dividends, bonus &
rights issues and rates of return; and performance and regulations of mutual

CHAPTER 4
DATA ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION TO DATA ANALYSIS &INTERPRETATION
ANALYSIS PART-1 SECURITY ANALYSIS
A rational investor makes investment decisions by evaluating the risk and return of a
security. A better evaluation strategy would be to determine the risk adjusted rate of return of
the security .an investor would also be interested in identifying mispriced securities in the
market in order to make buy, hold or sell decisions.
Security analysis consists of examining the risk-return characteristics of individual
securities. Security analysis also involves identifying mispriced securities by determining the
intrinsic value of the securities.
ASSUMPTIONS
 All stocks selected are included in BSE.
 Stocks are selected in such a way that Beta value is near to or more than 1.
 Stocks are selected from different sectors.
 Risk free rate is taken as 8.10%, which is rate of interest on 91 days T-Bill rate.
 Since specialized optimization software is not available& also manual computation
involved would be extensive, calculations are done in excel using different functions.
RISK AND RETURN OF SECURITIES:
The return of the securities is measured by the arithmetic mean of the security’s
return. The risk of the security is measured by the variance or standard deviation of its
securities. The risk adjusted rate of return of the security is the excess return per unit of risk,
the excess return being the difference between the security return and the risk free rate of
return. For our analysis the risk free return is taken as 8.10%

the relationship between the stock return and market index return. Beta of a security may be
positive, negative, zero. The beta of an asset is the measure of the variability of that asset

relative to the variability of the market as a whole. Beta is an index of the systematic risk of
an asset

INFERENCE:
From the above table and graph it can be seen that JETAIR has the maximum beta
value, which means maximum sensitivity to market (1.26). The minimum sensitivity to

ALPHA
The alpha value indicates the extra return earned by the stock over and above the
market return. Alpha measures the unsystematic risk of a security.
Return of stock = alpha + (Beta ×Market Return per Year)
Ri = αi+ (βi×Rm)
So
Alpha (αi) = Ri-( βi×Rm)
Where,
αi - Alpha of the security
Ri - return of the security

ANALYSIS PART -2 PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION
Portfolio optimization is one of the most important stages in the portfolio
management. Portfolio selection process involves identification of optimal portfolio. Optimal
portfolio is that portfolio for which return is maximum and risk is minimum. In order to
identify the optimal portfolio, Portfolio managers use different numerical algorithms known
as portfolio optimization models. This stage of the analysis focuses on the application of
different portfolio optimization models in deriving the optimal portfolio. Here researches uses
sharpe’s optimization model for building optimal portfolio.
The Sharpe’s optimization model uses excess return- to- beta ratio as the performance
measure of individual securities so as to include in optimal portfolio.

Effectiveness of Optimization
To examine the effectiveness of optimization, three different portfolios are
constructed with the securities included in the optimal portfolio. The criteria used for
construction of these portfolios are:
1. Equal investment in each security (We name it as Portfolio Gamma, Г).
2. Investment in each security in random proportion (We name it as Portfolio Pi, Π)

3. Investment in each security in proportion to the P/E multiple of each security (We
name it as Portfolio Omega, Ω)
The return and risk of these portfolios are determined for the purpose of evaluation of
the performance of these portfolios.
Thereafter the performance of these portfolios was measured by using Sharpe Ratio,
Treynor Ratio and Jensen Measure. The performance of these portfolios was then compared
with that of the optimal portfolio. In all the performance measures, the optimal portfolio came
out to be the best, thereby confirming its optimality. The analysis is shown below:
PORTFOLIO BASED ON EQUAL WEIGHT (PORTFOLIO GAMMA, Г)
The first portfolio is constructed by giving equal weights to the five securities and
then the portfolio alpha, portfolio beta and weighted residual variance are calculated to arrive
at portfolio return and risk

OPTIMALITY TEST
The optimality of the optimal portfolio constructed with Sharpe’s Optimization Model
is tested by comparing its performance against the performance of other four portfolios. The
traditional performance evaluation measures like Sharpe ratio, Treynor ratio and Jensen
measure are used for this purpose. In all these measures, the optimal portfolio came out with
maximum value thereby validating its optimality.
PORTFOLIO EVALUATION
Portfolio evaluation is the process to determine the performance of the portfolio. The
best measure for evaluation of portfolio is the risk adjusted rate of return as determined by
SHARPE RATIO and TREYNOR RATIO and JENSEN MEASURE. The evaluation process
using these retios is discussed below:

and the minimum beta is for BRITANIA (0.27) indicating the minimum systematic risk.
Security Alpha
The alpha value is maximum for BOSCH (0.087) i.e. it earns the maximum extra
return over market return. INDIAN OIL CORPORATION (0.0013) have the least alpha
value.
Systematic Risk
Systematic risk is maximum for JETAIR with variance (460.80) and minimum for
BRITANIA with variance(22.76)
Unsystematic Risk
Unsystematic risk is maximum for JETAIR with a variance of (2315.07)% and
minimum for BOSCH with a variance of (331.82%).
PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS
Portfolio Return and Risk
The return of optimal portfolio with Sharpe’s model is highest (68.27) and the return
of Portfolio Pi (with RANDOME weight proportion) is the minimum (18.99). Portfolio with

Random weight has the highest risk with a standard deviation of 14.46 % and Portfolio
Omega (Portfolio based on P/E ratio) has the lowest risk with a standard deviation of 12.44%.
Portfolio Alpha and Beta
Portfolio alpha is maximum for optimal portfolio with Sharpe’s Model (20.73) and
minimum for Portfolio Pi (with Random weight proportion) (17.29)
Portfolio beta is maximum for portfolio Pi (0.48) and is minimum for portfolio
Omega (PE ratio portfolio) (0.39)
Portfolio Optimization
An optimal portfolio is constructed by using Sharpe’s Optimization Models. The
findings are summarized below:
The return of optimal portfolio is 22.24%
The risk of optimal portfolio is 176.82%
The beta value of optimal portfolio is 0.43
The alpha value of optimal portfolio is 20.73%
The residual variance of optimal portfolio is 123.66(%)2
Sharpe Ratio = 2.03%
Treynor Ratio = 61.65%
Jensen Measure = 64.62%
The portfolio is tested for optimality by comparing its performance against the three
other portfolios using Sharpe’s ratio, Treynor ratio, and Jensen ratio. All performance
measures were highest for the optimal portfolio thereby proving its optimality.
Value at Risk
VaR is calculated using Monte Carlo Simulation method and the findings are below
Value at Risk At 99% of confidence level = -39647.14

Value at Risk at 95% of confidence level= -24816.15
that is portfolio value will lie between 1959595.51 and 2038889.79 at 99% of
confidence level and will be lie between Rs.1974426.5 and 2024058.8 at 95% of confidence
level
Benefit Of Diversification
From the calculations, we can find that diversification has resulted in considerable
reduction of not only unsystematic risk but also systematic risk to some extent.
SUGGESTIONS
An investor should neither make investment decisions on the basis of tips and rumors
nor adopt a naïve investment strategy, especially in a volatile market as we have now. A
naïve investment strategy based on tips and rumors might result in poor investment decisions
which might seriously undermine their long-term welfare and wealth accumulation.
Investors should make investment decisions on the basis of scientific and analytical
asset allocation techniques.
Financial modeling using portfolio is very helpful for risk reduction and optimal
portfolio construction also very efficient in risk diversification for securities. Investors should
make use of these portfolio optimization algorithms in order ensure efficient asset allocation
and superior portfolio performance.
Investors should clearly define their investment objectives and select appropriate asset
allocation techniques in order to achieve their investment objectives.
CONCLUSION
Scientific investment involves, investors clearly specifying their investment
objectives and developing an efficient asset allocation strategy to achieve those objectives.
One of the important investment objectives of a rational investor would be to maximize the
return on his investment while minimizing the risk associated with his investment. This
involves striking an optimal trade-off between risk and return. But achieving an optimal
trade-off between risk and return in a volatile and complex investment environment is a
difficult task and involves application of financial modeling and portfolio optimization

techniques. In such volatile and uncertain investment environment, applying native
investment strategies and making poor investment decisions will result in significant
investment losses to the investors. In a dynamic, uncertain and volatile investment
environment, investors should use superior asset allocation techniques by employing efficient
portfolio optimization models, in order to ensure superior performance of their investment
portfolio.
The objective of using a portfolio optimization technique is to ensure efficient asset
allocation. An efficient asset allocation would in turn ensure superior portfolio performance
by ensuring maximum return with minimum risk.
Portfolio optimization is a complex process. .It involves identification of optimal
portfolio from a domain of feasible and efficient set of portfolios. Different portfolio
optimization models are developed for identification of optimal portfolio. This study
examines the use of Sharpe’s optimization Model in ensuring efficient asset allocation.
The study has revealed the effectiveness of Sharpe’s portfolio optimization models in
ensuring superior portfolio performance. The optimization process has also resulted in
considerable reduction of risk by diversification.
