INTRODUCTION

Investing in securities such as shares debentures and bonds is profitable as well as

exciting It is indeed rewarding. But involves a great deal of risk and calls for scientific

knowledge as well as artistic skill. In such investments, both rational as well as emotional

responses are involved. Investing in financial securities is now considered to be one of the best

avenues for investing ones savings while it is acknowledged to be one of the most risky

avenues of investment.

It is rare to find investors investing their entire savings in a single security. Instead of

they tend to invest in group of securities. Such a group of securities is called portfolio. Creation

of portfolio helps to reduce risk without sacrificing returns. Portfolio management deals with the

analysis of individual securities as well as with the theory and practice of optimally combining

securities into portfolios. An investor who under stands the fundamental principles and analytical

aspects of portfolio management has better chance of success. An investor considering

investment in securities is faced with a problem of choosing from among a large number of

securities. His choice depends upon the risk return characteristics of individual securities. He

would attempt to choose the most desirable securities and like to allocate his funds over this

group of securities. Again he is faced with the problem of deciding which securities to hold and

how much invest in each. The investor faces an infinite number of possible portfolios or group of

securities. The risk and return nature of portfolio differ from those individual securities

combining from a portfolio. The investor tries to choose the optimal portfolio taking in to

consideration the risk return characteristics of all possible portfolios. As the economic and

financial environment keeps changing, the risk return characteristics of individual securities as

well as portfolios also change. This calls for periodic review and revision of investment

portfolios of investors.

An investor invests his funds in a portfolio expecting to get a good return consistent with

the risk that he has to bear. The return realized from the portfolio has to be measured and the

performance of the portfolio has to be evaluated.

It is evident that rational investment activity involves creation of an investment portfolio.

Portfolio management comprises all the process involved in the creation and maintenance of an

investment portfolio. It deals specially with security analysis , portfolio analysis, portfolio

selection, portfolio revision and portfolio evaluation it also make use of analytical techniques of

analysis and conceptual theories regarding rational allocation of funds. Portfolio management is

a complex process which tries to make investment activity more rewarding and less risky.

A portfolio is a group of securities held together as investment. Investors invest their

funds in a portfolio of securities rather than in a single security because they are risk averse. By

constructing a portfolio, investors attempt to spread risk by not putting all their eggs in to one

basket. Thus diversification of ones holdings is intended to reduce risk in investment.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 sets of securities and also by varying the portion of investment in each

security. Each individual security has its own risk-return characteristics which can be measured

and expressed quantitatively. Each individual security has its own risk-return characteristics

which can be measured and expressed quantitatively. Each portfolio constructed by combining

the individual securities has its own specific risk and return characteristics which are not just the

aggregate of the individual security characteristics. The return and risk of each portfolio has to be

calculated mathematically and expressed quantitatively.

Portfolio analysis phase of portfolio management consists of identifying the range of

possible portfolios that can be constituted from a given set of securities and calculating their

return and risk for further analysis.

Portfolio analysis provides the input for the next phase in portfolio management which is

portfolio selection. The goal of portfolio construction is to generate a portfolio that provides the

highest returns at a given level of risk. A portfolio having this characteristic is known as an

efficient portfolio. The inputs from portfolio analysis can be used to identify the set of efficient

portfolios. From this efficient set of portfolios, the optimal portfolio has to be selected for

investment.

STATING THE PROBLEM

Risk arises where there is possibility of variation between expectations and realization

with regard to an investment. The risk in holding securities such as shares, debentures etc are of

two types. The first group comprises factors that are external to a company that affect large

number of securities simultaneously. Second group includes those factors which are internal to

companies and affect only those particular companies. The study basically aimed to avert those

risks by constructing a suitable portfolio.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

To construct a portfolio with minimum risk.

Ascertain the risk-return relationship.

To ascertain the volatility of shares in the market.

To identify the top companies in each sector.

IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY

It helps the researcher to construct a diversified portfolio. Provide an insight on return and risk analysis.

The study helps to identify the growth potential of each sector.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The goal of portfolio construction is to generate a portfolio that provides the highest

returns at a given level of risk. In a highly volatile market it is very essential to follow an

efficient portfolio in order to avert the risk. The study mainly covers the volatility and risk return

characteristics of shares through various techniques. It has taken six sectors for the study, which

are having high growth potential.

PERIOD OF STUDY

5/71


The study covers a period from 03-05-2010 to 12-06-2010

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

The company Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services Ltd is highly centralized in nature

so it was very difficult to get strategic information from the organization.

Research wing of the company is operating in the head office. So frequent contact with

them was not possible.

Data were collected only on the basis of NSE trading.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A research design is the arrangement of condition for collecting and analysis of data in a

manner that aim to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure. The

research design adopted for the study is descriptive in nature.

For the research top six industries have been taken.

1. Automotive Industry.

2. Banking Industry.

3. Information Technology industry.

4. Real Estate Industry

5. Telecom Industry.

6. Pharmaceuticals Industry.

Tools used for the study:-

1. Earning Per share (E.P.S.)

5



6/71


This ratio helps in the assessment of the profitability of a firm from a standard point of

equity share holders. This measures the profit available to the equity share holders.

E.P.S= Net profit available to equity share holders Number of equity shares issued.

2. Price earning ratio (P.E.Ratio)

The price earning ratio expresses the relationship between the market price of a share and the

E.P.S.

P.E. Ratio= Market price per equity share Earning per share

3. Beta value

Beta value measures the volatility of a share. The systematic risk of a security is measured bythis statistical tool.

Beta = NXY - X.Y NX^2 - (X)^2

4. Alpha Value

Alpha measures, the unsystematic risk of the company. It indicates the extra returnearned by the stock over and above the market return. If alpha is positive, then scrip will havehigher return. If alpha is zero, then return depends on the market return.

Alpha = Stock return ( Beta * Market return)

5. Sharpe index

The selection and evaluation of portfolio is on the basis of the Sharpes performance

index. Sharpes performance index gives us a single value to be used for the performance

ranking of various funds or portfolio. When compared to the other ratios for selection shapers

ratio is the only ratio giving importance to risk as well as return. The risk premium is the

difference between the portfolios average rate of return and the risk less rate of return. The

standard deviation of the portfolio indicates the risk. This index assigns the highest value to the

assets ie, portfolio, that have the best risk adjusted rate of return. The formula for calculating the

sharpes performance index is as follows.

Sharpe index = Portfolio return- Risk Free rate Standard deviation of population

INDUSTRY PROFILE

A stock market or equity market is a private or public market for the trading of company stock

and derivatives of company stock at an agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock

exchange as well as those only traded privately.

The Amsterdam Stock exchange or Amsterdam Beurs is also said to have been the first stock

exchange to introduce continuous trade in the early 17 th century. The size of the stock market is

estimated about $51 trillion. The world derivatives market has been estimated at about $480

trillion face or nominal value, 30 times the size of the U.S. economy, and 12 times the size of the

entire world economy. It must be noted though that the value of the derivatives market, because

it is stated in terms of notional values, and cannot be directly compared to a stock or fixed

income security, which traditionally refers to an actual value. Many such relatively illiquid

securities are valued as marked to model, rather than actual market price.

The stocks are listed and traded on stock exchanges which are entities a corporation or

mutual organization specialized in the business of bringing buyers and sellers of stocks andsecurities together. The stock market in the United States includes the trading of all securities

listed on the NYSE, the NASDAQ, the Amex, as well as on the many regional exchanges,

e.g.OTCBB and Pink Sheets. Europian examples of stock exchanges include the London

stockexcange, the Deutsche Borse and the Paris Bourse, now part of Euronext.

The National Stock exchange of India Limited (NSE), is a Mumbai-Based stock exchange. It

is the largest stock exchange in India and the third largest in the world in terms of volume of

transactions. Though a number of other exchanges exist, NSE and the Bombay Stock Exchange

are the two most significant stock exchanges in India, and between them are irresponsible for the

vast majority of share transactions.

NSE is mutually- owned by a set of leading financial institutions, banks, insurance

companies and other financial intermediaries in India but its ownership and management operate

as separate entities. As of 2006, the NSE VSAT terminals, 2799 in total, cover more than 1500cities across India. In October 2007, the equity market capitalization of the companies listed on

the NSE was US$ 1.46 trillion, making it the second largest stock exchange in South Asia. NSE

is the third largest Stock Exchange in the world in terms of the number of traders in equities. It is

the second fastest growing stock exchange in the world with a recorded growth of 16.6%.

The Bombay Stock Exchange Limited is the oldest stock exchange in Asia. It is also the

biggest stock exchange in the world in terms of listed companies with 4,800 listed companies as

of August 2007. It is located at Dalal Street, Mumbai, India. In October 2007, the equity market

capitalization of companies listed on the BSE was US$ 1.61 trillion, making it the largest stock

exchange in South Asia and the tenth largest in the world.

The Bombay Stock Exchange was established in 1875. Around 4,800 Indian companies list

on the stock exchange, and it has a significant trading volume. The BSE SENSEX (SENSitive

indEX) , also called the BSE 30, is a widely used market index in India and Asia. Though

many other exchange exist, BSE and the National Stock Exchange of India account for most of

the trading in shares in India.

members and senior management of the Company in order to ensure good Corporate

Governance.

I. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate governance is about commitment to values and about ethical business conduct.

It is about how an organization is managed. This includes its corporate and other structures, its

culture, its policies and the manner in which it deals with various stakeholders. Accordingly,

timely and accurate disclosure of information regarding the financial situation, performance,

ownership and governance of the company, is an important part of corporate governance. This

Consequently, the organization is able to attract investors, and to enhance the trust and

confidence of the stakeholders.

They believe that sound corporate governance is critical to enhance and retain investor

trust. Accordingly, we always seek to attain our performance rules with integrity. The Board

extends its fiduciary responsibilities in the widest sense of the term. Our disclosures always seek

to attain the best practices in international corporate governance. They are also responsible to

enhance long term shareholder value and respect minority rights in all their business decisions.

to deter wrongdoing and promote ethical conduct. The matters covered in this Code are of utmost

review the Companys other applicable policies and procedures.

Officers should sign the acknowledgment form at the end of this Code and return the

form to the HR department indicating that they have received, read and understood, and agree to

comply with the Code. The signed acknowledgement form should be available with officers

concerned. Each year, as part of their annual review, Officers will be asked to sign an

acknowledgement indicating their continued understanding and adherence of the code.

III. HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT

They expect all Officers to act in accordance with highest standards of personal and

professional integrity, honesty and ethical conduct, while working on the Companys premises,

at offsite locations where the Companys business is being conducted, at Company sponsored

business and social events, or any other place where Officers are representing the Company.

thye consider honest conduct to be conduct that is free from fraud or misrepresentation or

deception. They consider ethical conduct to be conduct conforming to the accepted professional

standards of conduct. Ethical conduct includes ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of

interest between personal and professional relationships. This is discussed in more detail in

22



23/71


Officers are prohibited from engaging in any activity that interferes with their employment with

the Company. Our policies prohibit Officers from accepting simultaneous employment with

suppliers, customers, developers or competitors of the Company, or from taking part in any

activity that enhances or supports a competitors position. Additionally, Officers must disclose to

the Companys Audit Committee, any interest that they have that may conflict with the business

of the Company.

Outside directorships: It is a conflict of interest to serve as a director of any company that

competes with the Company. Officers must first obtain approval from the Companys auditcommittee before accepting a directorship.

Business Interests: If an Officer is considering investing in any customer, supplier,

developer or competitor of the Company, he or she must first take care to ensure that these

investments do not compromise on their responsibilities to the Company. Our policy requires

that Officers first obtain approval from the Companys Audit Committee before making such an

investment. Many factors should be considered in determining whether a conflict exists,

including the size and nature of the investments, the Officers ability to influence the Companys

decisions, his or her access to confidential information of the Company or of the other company,

and nature of the relationship between the Company and the other company. At the time of

application for approval, full facts of the proposed investment shall be placed before the

Committee.

Related parties: As a general rule, Officers should avoid conducting Companys business

with a relative, or have business in which a relative is associated in any significant role. A

relative means and includes spouse, children, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles,

23



24/71


nieces, nephews, cousins, step relationships, and in-laws. Subject to the rules and regulation, the

Company discourages the employment of relatives of Officers in key positions or assignments

within the same department. Further, the Company prohibits the employment of such individuals

in positions that have a financial dependence or influence (e.g. an auditing or control

relationship, or a supervisor/subordinate relationship). Every employee drawing a monthly salary

of Rs.10,000/- or more shall disclose whether he is a relative or not of any of our directors.

Payments or gifts from others: Under no circumstance the Officers shall accept any offer,

payment, promise to pay, or authorisation to pay any money, gift, or anything of value fromcustomers, vendors, consultants, etc., that is perceived as intended, directly or indirectly, to

influence any business decision, any act or failure to act, any commitment of fraud, or

opportunity for the commitment of any fraud. Inexpensive gifts, infrequent business meals,

celebratory events and entertainment, provided that they are not excessive or create an

appearance of impropriety, do not violate this policy. Questions regarding whether a particular

payment or gift violates this policy are to be directed to Finance Department. Gifts given by the

Company to suppliers or customers should be appropriate to the circumstances and should never

be of a kind that could create an appearance of impropriety. The nature and cost must always be

accurately recorded in the Companys books and records.

Corporate opportunities: Officers may not exploit for their own personal gain,

opportunities that are discovered through the use of corporate property, information or position,

unless the opportunity is disclosed fully in writing to the Companys Board of Directors and the

Board declines to pursue such opportunity.

24



25/71

services, or for underwriting the subscription of any shares in or debentures of the Company

contact to the Finance Department / Secretarial Department / Legal Department.

(not necessarily a violation of law) shall be free to approach the Audit Committee without

necessarily informing their supervisors. All officers are requested to inform their subordinates

Officers must acquire appropriate knowledge of the legal requirements relating to their duties

sufficient to enable them to recognise potential dangers, and to know when to seek advice from

LITERATURE REVIEW

28



29/71


PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENTIndividual securities have risk return characteristics of their own. The future return

expected from a security is variable and this variability of returns is termed risk. It is rare to find

investors investing their entire wealth in a single security. This is because most investors have an

aversion to risk. It is hoped that if money is invested in several securities simultaneously, the loss

in one will be compensated by the gain in others. Thus, holding more than one security at a time

is an attempt to spread and minimize risk by not putting all our eggs in one basket.

Most investors thus tend to invest in a group of securities rather than a single security.

Such a group of securities held together as an investment is what is known as a portfolio. The

process of creating such a portfolio is called diversification. It is an attempt to spread and

minimize the risk in investment. This is sought to be achieved by holding different types of

securities across different industry groups.

From a given set of securities, any number of portfolios can be constructed. A rational

investor attempts to find the most efficient of these portfolios. The efficiency of each portfolio

can be evaluated on in terms of the expected return and risk of the portfolio as such. Thus,

determining the expected return and risk of different portfolios is a primary step in portfolio

management. This step is designated as portfolio analysis.

29



30/71


EXPECTED RETURN OF A PORTFOLIO

As a first step in portfolio analysis, an investor needs to specify the list of securities

eligible for selection or inclusion in the portfolio. Next he has to generate the risk-return

expectations for these securities. These are typically expressed as the expected rate of return

(mean) and the variance or standard deviation of the return.

The expected return of a portfolio of assets is simply the weighted average of the return of the

individual securities held in the portfolio. The weight applied to reach return is the fraction of the

portfolio invested in that security.

RISK OF A PORTFOLIO

The variable of return and standard deviation of return are alternative statistical measures

that are used for measuring risk in investment. These statistics measure the extent to which

returns are expected to vary around an average overtime. The calculation of variance of a

portfolio is a little more difficult than determining its expected return. The variance or standard

deviation of an individual security measures the risk ness of a security in absolute sense. For

calculating the risk of a portfolio of securities, the risk ness of each security within the context of

the overall portfolio has to be considered. This depends on their interactive risk, i.e. how the

returns of a security move with the returns of other securities in the portfolio and contribute to

the overall risk of the portfolio.

Covariance is the statistical measure that indicates the interactive risk of a security

relative to others in a portfolio of securities. In other words, the way security returns vary with

each other affects the overall risk of the portfolio.

REDUCTION OF PORTFOLIO RISK THROUGH DIVERSIFICATION

30



31/71


The process of combining securities in a portfolio is known as diversification. The aim of

diversification is to reduce total risk without sacrificing portfolio return. In the example

considered above, diversification has helped to reduce risk. The portfolio standard deviation of

17-09 is lower than the standard deviation of either of the two securities taken separately, which

were 50 and 30 respectively.

To understand the mechanism and power of diversification, it is necessary to consider the impact

of covariance or correlation on portfolio risk more closely. We shall examine three cases: (a)

when security returns are perfectly positively correlated, (b) when security returns are perfectly

negatively correlated, and (c) when security returns are not correlated.

PORTFOLIOS WITH MORE THAN TWO SECURITIES.

So far we have considered a portfolio with only two securities. The benefits for

diversification increase as more and more securities with less than perfectly positively correlated

returns are included in the portfolio. As the number of securities added to a portfolio increases,

the standard deviation of the portfolio becomes smaller and smaller. Hence, an investor can

make the portfolio risk arbitrarily small by including a large number of securities with negative

or zero correlation in the portfolio.

But, in reality, no securities show negative or even zero correlation. Typically, securities

show some positive correlation that is above zero but less than the perfectly positive value (+ 1).

As a result, diversification (that is, adding securities to a portfolio) results in some reduction in

total portfolio risk but not in complete elimination of risk. Moreover, the effects of

diversification are exhausted fairly rapidly. That is, most of the reduction in portfolio standard

deviation occurs by the time the portfolio size increases to 25 or 30 securities. Adding securities

beyond this size bring about only marginal reduction in portfolio standard deviation.

Adding securities to a portfolio reduces risk because securities are not perfectly positively

correlated. But the effects of diversification are exhausted rapidly because the securities are still

31



32/71


positively correlated to each other though not perfectly correlated. Had they been negatively

correlated, the portfolio risk would have continued to decline as portfolio size increased. Thus,

in practice, the benefits of diversification are limited.

The total risk of an individual security comprises two components; the market related risk

called systematic riskand the unique risk of that particulars security called unsystematic risk.

By combining securities into a portfolio the unsystematic risk specific to different securities is

cancelled out. Consequently, the risk of the portfolio as a whole is reduced as the size of the

portfolio increases. Ultimately when the size of the portfolio reaches a certain limit, it will

contain only the systematic risk of securities included in the portfolio. The systematic risk,

however, cannot be eliminated. Thus, a fairly large portfolio has only systematic risk and hasrelatively little unsystematic risk. That is why there is no gain in adding securities to a portfolio

beyond a certain portfolio size.

PORTFOLIO EVALUATION AND SELECTION

The selection and evaluation is on the basis of the Sharpes performance index. Sharpes

performance index gives us a single value to be used for the performance ranking of various

funds or portfolio. When compared to the other ratios for selection shapers ratio is the only ratio

giving importance to risk as well as return. The risk premium is the difference between the

portfolios average rate of return and the risk less rate of return. The standard deviation of the

portfolio indicates the risk . This index assigns the highest value to the assets ie, portfolio ,that

have the best risk adjusted rate of return . The formula for calculating the sharpes performance

index is as follows.

Sharpe index = Portfolio return- Risk Free rate Standard deviation of population

SUGGESTIONS

70/71


1. An investor should always prefer a diversified portfolio, through this he can compensate the

loss incurred in one sector by the profit gained in from another sector.

2. If there are two portfolios with the same expected return, the investor would prefer the one

with the lower risk.

3. If there are two portfolios with the same risk, the investor would prefer the one with the higher

expected return.

4. An unscientific investment always ends in loss. So be aware of the market fluctuations and

respond accordingly.

5. Investor should also consider his risk free return like treasury bills etc.

6. Most of the investors are not aware of the trends in market. So the broking institutions shouldcome forward and give valuable advice to them regarding the matter of investment.

CONCLUSION

The objective of constructing a portfolio and revising it periodically is to earn maximumreturns with minimum risk. The portfolio can ensure a high return with a minimum risk. But the

investor has to constantly monitor the portfolio to ensure that it continues to be optimal. As the

economy and financial markets are dynamic, the changes take place almost daily. As time

passes, securities which were once attractive may cease to be so. New securities with promises of

high returns and low risk may emerge. The investor now has to revise the portfolio in the light of

the developments in the market. The portfolio developed through this research can ensure

maximum return with the present economic conditions.
