COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF BSE WITH INTERNATIONAL STOCK MARKETS & ROLE OF FII
INVESTMENT IN INDIAN STOCK MARKET
7.1 Introduction
An important element of globalization trend has now been that exchanges
are crossing national boundaries to extend their service, which has led to cross
border integration; exchanges have begun to offer cross border trading to facilitate
overseas investment options for investment. This has not only increased the
appeal of the exchange for investment, but has also attracted more volume. It is
also seen that international financial markets have changed drastically over the
past several decades. The major driving forces are: liberalization and
deregulation, ground breaking technological and financial innovations and a
growing dedicated investors base. The Indian stock exchanges hold a place of
prominence not only in Asia but also at the global stage. The Bombay Stock
Exchange (BSE) is one of the oldest stock exchange across the world, while the
NSE is among the best, in term of sophistication and advancement of technology.
In this chapter, an attempt has been made to study:
• The comparative place of India's stock market in world scenario.
• Descriptive statistics for daily market return for various stock market.
• Yearwise percentage average return of various stock markets.
• Annualize return and volatility for various stock markets.
• Correlation coefficient of the daily market returns for various stock
markets.
At this backdrop, the objectives of the present chapter are enumerated as:
• To study the movement of Bombay Stock Exchange in comparison
to its international counter parts.
192
• To study whether Indian stock market (BSE's) prices and returns are
correlated to the stock market returns and prices of other selected
economy
For the comparative analysis of the BSE and other stock exchanges some
stock exchanges have been selected from developed market i.e. NASDAQ (USA),
NIKKEI (Japan) and from emerging markets HKSE (China) and NIFTY (India). To
study the correlation of India's stock prices (Returns) with other selected
countries’ stock prices (Returns), Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient method
has been used. Besides, for the comparative analysis of BSE and other stock
exchanges, the period chosen for the study is from 1991 to 2009.
7.2 Internationalization of Stock Exchange
Indian securities market is getting increasingly integrated with the rest of
the world. Indian companies have been permitted to raise resources from abroad
through issue of American Depository Receipts (ADRs), Global Depository
Receipts (GDRs), Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs) and European
Convertible Bonds (ECBs). Further, foreign companies are allowed to tap the
domestic stock markets.
Indian companies are permitted to list their securities on foreign stock
exchanges by sponsoring ADR/GDR issues against block shareholding. NRIs and
OCBs (Overseas Corporate Bodies) are allowed to invest in Indian companies.
FIIs have been permitted to invest in all types of securities, including government
securities. The investments by FIIs enjoy full capital account convertibility. They
can invest in a company under portfolio investment route up to 24% of the paid up
capital of the company. This can be increased up to the sectoral cap/statutory
ceiling, as applicable to the Indian companies concerned, by passing a resolution
through Board of Directors followed by a special resolution to that effect by its
general body. The Indian Stock Exchanges have been permitted to setup trading
terminals abroad. The trading platform of Indian exchanges is now accessed
through the internet from anywhere in the world.1
RBI permitted two-way fungibility for ADRs/GDRs, which meant that the
investors (foreign institutional or domestic) who hold ADRs/ GDRs can cancel

them with the depository and sell the underlying shares in the market. The
company can then issue fresh ADRs to the extent of the shares cancelled.

Table no. 7.1 gives the snapshot of market capitalization, turnover and
number of listed companies and their percentage to the total of stock market in the
world. It can be observed that as on 2009, USA is the 1st in the world ranking of
market capitalization and turnover, while India is 5th in the world ranking of market
capitalization and turnover.
Listing in stock exchange refers to the admission of securities of the
company for dealing in recognized stock exchange. The security may be any
public limited company or state government, quasi government and other financial
institutions/corporations, municipalities etc. It is seen from the table no. 7.1 that
India has a second place (next to USA) about number of companies listed and of
15.06% of total world's listing. Thus, after USA, India has the highest number of
companies listed on stock exchanges. At domestic level about 72% companies
195
are listed with Bombay Stock Exchange only.2 As compared to Asian stock
market, India's share in market capitalization is only 1.67%, which is lesser than
China (10.25%). About turnover also, China's share in total world is 8.09% while
India accounted only 1.55%.3
It is also seen that as on 2009, Singapore stock market accounted only
0.66% of world's market capitalization and only 0.4% of world's total turnover,
which is lowest in the world stock market scenario.

Table no. 7.2 depicts the descriptive statistics for daily market returns of
BSE, NSE, NASDAQ, NIKKEI and HKSE for the period 1991 to 2009. The daily
data had about 4000 observations of different stock exchanges (except NSE) and
closing prices of respective indices are used to represent the market.
The mean of daily market returns of all exchange is observed to be
between 0.00037% to 0.00063% of all stock exchanges.
The median of daily market returns of all markets observed to be near to
zero and it remains between 0.0010% to 0.0090%.
Volatility is measured by standard deviation and its square. All the indices
shows similar volatility in the range of 0.0002% to 0.0003%. The minimum
volatility among the indices is observe in NIKKEI and whereas maximum is
observed in BSE-SENSEX.
Kurtosis measures the peak endness of the distribution. The Kurtosis of all
the indices are away from three therefore the weekly return are away from their
respective means.
A minimum return was lowest in NASDAQ i.e.-0.10%. The maximum return
was highest in HKSE i.e. 0.16% during the study period 1991 to 2009.

Note : Values are calculated from the data
Table No. 7.3 reveals the year wise average daily return for various indices
selected for study. It can be seen that for each indices separately the percentage
daily average return of BSE Sensex was in the range of – 0.003% to 0.31%, BSE-
100 ranges from-0.01% to 0.27%, BSE-200 ranges between -0.011% to 0.28%
and BSE-500 indices ranging from – 0.10% to 0.26%, while NASDAQ recorded
from – 0.01% to 0.18%, HKSE recorded percentage average returns between –
198
0.04% to 0.14%, NIKKEI percentage average daily return ranges between –
0.01% to 0.15% whereas NIFTY accounted – 0.00417% to 0.23% during study
period of 1991 to 2009.
It can be also seen that, among all the individual observations the highest
average daily return was earned by the BSE-Sensex in the year 1991. All
ordinaries earned negative income in the years 2000, 2001, 2008 and the
negative return was very high in BSE i.e. -0.35% in 2008 and it was very low i.e. –
0.0129% in the year 1999 in NASDAQ.
NASDAQ, HKSE, NIKKEI had negative returns for the three consecutive
i.e. in the year 2000, 2001, 2002, &in 2008.
It is also seen that average daily return of BSE and NSE moved in tandem
with little difference.

Table no. 7.4 depicts the correlation matrix of BSE indices with other stock
exchanges. It is found that, there exists a positive correlation among all indices of
BSE and NASDAQ and HKSE during study the period of 1991 to 2009. NIKKEI is
negatively correlated with BSE-Sensex, BSE-100 and BSE-200, but there exists a
positive correlation between NIKKEI and BSE-500 during the same period. Nifty is
positively correlated with all indices selected for study except NIKKEI.
It is concluded that, there is a significant correlation between all the indices
selected for study & BSE. Therefore, present study accepts the hypothesis that
199
prices & returns of Bombay stock exchange are significantly correlated to the
prices &returns of other selected stock exchanges.

Table No. 7.5 exhibits annualized returns and volatility of different indices
selected for study. It is seen that, from the return prospective, NASDAQ yielded
negative returns in 1994, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2008. During 1991 to 2009 its
annual returns were ranging from – 0.04% to 0.47%. From the volatility
prospective NASDAQ shows highest annual volatility in 2000 i.e. 0.49% whereas
lowest volatility in 1993 i.e. 0.12%. Thus, the annual returns and volatility of
NASDAQ ranged from – 0.03% to 0.46% and 0.11% to 0.49% respectively.
200
HKSE's annual returns recorded negative in 1994, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001,
2002 and in 2008. It yielded highest annualized returns i.e. 0.42% in 2009 and
lowest annualized returns i.e. – 0.11% in 2000. From volatility prospective the
annualized volatility ranging from 0.11% to 0.50% during the study period.
NIKKEI recorded negative returns in 1991, 1992, 1996, 1997, 1998 (except
1999), thereafter from 2000-2002, &in 2007& 2008. It recorded highest returns i.e.
0.26% in 2003 whereas lowest returns i.e. – 0.05% in 1991. The annualized
volatility of NIKKEI ranging from 0.15% to 0.46% during the study period.
It is seen that the annualized return of NIFTY was negative in 1995, 1996,
1998 & thereafter in 2008. The annualized average return of NIFTY ranging from
– 0.01% to 0.56% whereas annualized volatility of NIFTY ranging between 0.19%
to 0.44% during study period.
The Sensex recorded negative returns in 1995, 1998, 2000, 2001 and
2008. The annual average returns of BSE-Sensex ranging from 0.01 % to 0.32
% whereas annualized volatility of Sensex ranged between 1.08% to 3.36%
during the same study period.
It is concluded that range of annualized returns and volatility does not
remain same in all indices selected for study. It is also seen that in the year 2001,
2002 and in 2008 all selected indices yielded negative returns.
It is observed that, the USA is 1st in the world ranking of market
capitalization and turnover while India is 5th in the world ranking of market
capitalization and turnover. USA has the highest number of companies listed on
stock exchanges. After USA, India has the highest number of companies listed on
stock exchanges.
Conclusion :
It is seen that yearwise average daily return of BSE indices is higher than
NASDAQ, HKSE and NIKKEI. Whereas average daily return of BSE indices and
NSE/Nifty moved in tandem with little difference.
There exists a positive correlation among all the indices of BSE and
NASDAQ and HKSE. It is observed that NIKKEI is negatively correlated with BSE-
Sensex but there is positive correlation between NIKKEI and BSE-500. Nifty is
positively correlated with all indices selected for study.
201
Annualized Returns and Volatility does not remain same in all indices
selected for study. It is also seen that in the year 2001, 2002 and 2008, all
selected indices yielded negative returns.
7.08 FII Investment and Indian Stock Market
The era of foreign institutional investors (FIIs) in India originated in 1993 as
a consequence of the major policy initiatives towards globalization of economy by
Government of India. For a country, that embraced free market model after having
remained closed to the outside world for long, foreign capital whether in the form
of foreign direct investment (FDI) or portfolio investment by FII is being considered
imperative to rebuild India. Domestic markets are no longer able to meet the
growing capital requirement of the industry, therefore foreign capital is a sine que
non whether it comes in the form of FDI or portfolio investment (FIIs : Foreign
Institutional Investors). FII or the Foreign Institutional Investors are basically
referred to investors who are organised in the form of an institution or entity and
indulge in investing funds in the financial market of a foreign country, i.e. different
from where the entity was originally registered or incorporated.4
Earlier, FIIs could invest in Indian securities only through the purchase of
GDR Foreign Convertible Bonds (FCBs) and foreign currency bonds issued by
Indian issuers. FIIs commenced their operations in the Indian stock market with a
token investment of Rs. 0.6 crores in January 1993. They have become active
investors since August 1993. FII such as mutual funds, pension funds, country
funds and so on are operating in the Indian capital market. Thus, foreign
investment may invest in a particular share issue of an Indian company under
either FDI scheme or the portfolio investment schemes (i.e. FII, GDRs/ADRs,
offshore investment and other).
In this chapter, an attempt has been made to study the role of foreign
institutional investment in Indian stock market.
7.8.1 FII Investment Restrictions
An FII can invest only in the following:

Foreign Investment in India
i) Securities in the primary and secondary markets including shares, debentures and warrants of companies unlisted, listed, to be listed on recognised stock exchanges in India.
ii) Units of schemes floated by domestic mutual funds including UTI, whether listed or non-listed on a recognised stock exchange
iii) Derivatives traded on recognised stock exchanges.
iv) Commercial papers and securities receipts.
v) Indian Depository Receipts.
7.8.2 FII Investment in Secondary Markets
SEBI regulations provides that a foreign institutional investor or a sub-
account can transact in the Indian securities market only on the basis of taking
and giving delivery of securities purchased or sale. However, this does not apply
to any transactions in derivatives on a recognized stock exchange. Further, SEBI
has in December 2007 permitted FIIs and sub-accounts to enter into short selling
transactions only in accordance with framework specified by SEBI in this regards.
No transactions in securities would be only through stockbrokers who have been
granted a certificate by SEBI. Foreign institutional investors can issue, or
otherwise deal in offshore derivatives investments, directly or indirectly wherein
the offshore derivative instruments are used only to persons who are regulated by
203
an appropriate foreign regulators authority and the ODIs (Overseas Derivatives
Instruments) are issued after compliance of 'Know Your Client' (KYC) norms.
7.8.3 Investment by FIIs under Portfolio Investment Scheme
RBI has given general permission to SEBI registered FIIs/Sub-accounts to
invest under the portfolio investment scheme (PIS).
Total holding of each FII/Sub-account under this scheme should not
exceed 10% of the total paid up capital or 10% of the paid up value of each series
of convertible debentures issued by the Indian company.5
Total holding of all the FIIs/Sub-accounts put together should not exceed
24% of the paid up capital or paid up value of each series of convertible
debentures. This limit of 24% can be increased to the sectoral capital/statutory
limit as applicable to the Indian company concerned by passing a resolution of its
Board of Directors followed by a special resolution to that effect by its General
Body.
7.8.4 Role of FIIs in Development of Capital Market
"The FII investment has always been the subject of debate in term of
desirability. This is because FII money is known to be 'hot money' that would flee
at the first sign of trouble."6
FIIs have become integral part of Indian capital market. Their entry has led
to greater institutionalization of the market and their activities have provided depth
to it. Institutionalization has also helped in lending better price discovery
mechanism in the capital market.
It has been observed that the companies that have been generally
preferred by FIIs are those that are professionally managed and focus on creating
wealth for shareholders. When FIIs acquire stake in a company, its valuation goes
up in the market. To that extent, the FII tag makes it easier for the companies to
tap the capital market. Therefore, companies with global ambition would do well to
catch the attraction of FIIs at home before venturing out to tap financial markets
abroad.

Commerce, Vol. 54, No. 3, July-Sept, p. 29.
204
FIIs have also played a catalytic role in nurturing nascent venture capital
culture in India. A new entrepreneurial class has been created in the country who
have created a lot of wealth in the market. These are the sort of industries in
which traditional lending would have been difficult or would have less forthcoming.
These companies have blossomed and prospered on account of equity support
from new class of investors, which include inter-alia FIIs.
In policy circles, FII flows are considered to increase the domestic
investment without increase in foreign debt. FII flows can raise prices, lower cost
of equity and stimulate investment by Indian firms and lead to improvement in
securities market design and corporate governance. Thus, FIIs increase the depth
and breadth of the market; expand securities business and their policy of focusing
on fundamentals of the shares cause efficient pricing of shares. However, FIIs are
known to rush out at the slightest hit trouble in the host country leaving an
economic crisis, like Mexico in 1994 and India in 2008.7

Table no. 7.6 presents trends in net investment and cumulative investment
by FIIs in Indian stock market. It is observed that, cumulative net FII investment
has gone upto Rs. 254653 crores by the end of financial year 2008-09.

205
During the initial year 1992-93, FIIs flow started and amounted to Rs. 13
crore because in this period government was framing policy guidelines for FIIs.
However, within a year, the net FII rose to 39338% of previous year, during 1993-
94, because government had opened the door for foreign investment in India.
Thereafter, the FII inflow witnessed a dip of 6.45%. The year 1995-96 witnessed
gliding up the contribution of FII to a massive of Rs. 69424 crores. FII investment
during 1996-97 rose a little i.e. 23.52% of preceding year, this period ripe enough
for FII investment because at that time where international capital market
witnessed the phase of overheating and at the same time, the Indian economy
and its strong fundamentals, stable exchange rate expectations and incentives
climate for foreign investment.
During 1997-98, FII inflow posted of 30.5%, it was due to south east Asian
crisis and period of volatility experienced between November 1997 and February
1998. The net inflow by FIIs have always positive from the year 1992-93, only in
the year 1998-99 an outflow of Rs.1583 crores was witnessed for the first time.
This was primarily because of economic sanctions imposed on Indian by the US,
Japan and other industrialized economy. These economic sanctions were result of
testing of series of nuclear bomb in 1998. Therefore, the FII portfolio investment
quickly recovered and showed positive net investment for all subsequent years.
FII investment posted a year declining of -1.8% in 2000-01, -11.87% in
2001-02 and -69.29% in 2002-03. The major reasons for the decline in their
investment were the dismal performance of the Indian stock market,
unsatisfactory returns on their investment and the slow pace of reforms.
Investment by FIIs rebounded from depressed levels from the year 2003-04 and
witnessed massive surge. The slowdown in 2004-05 was on account of global
uncertainty caused by hardening of crude oil prices and the upturn in the interest
rate. Strong macro economic fundamentals of the Indian economy coupled with
other positive factors like good corporate results, low inflation, abolition of long
term capital gain tax, transparent regulatory system etc. were the major factors
which influenced the FII investment in India during 2004-05.
The net investment by FIIs in 2005-06 declined by -9.6% to Rs 41467
crores in 2005-06 mainly due to large net outflow from debt segment. The net
investment by FIIs in 2006-07 declined by -25.6% to Rs.30841 crores, mainly due
206
to large net outflow from the equity segment. This was because of fall in Asian
market, tightening of capital control in Thailand. But the cumulative net investment
by FIIs in India was stood at Rs. 234286 crores.
The net investment by FIIs was Rs.66177 crores in 2007-08, which was
more than double from Rs.30841 crores in 2006-07. The cumulative investment
by FIIs was increased to Rs.291465 crores during the same year. The year 2008-
09 saw the highest FII outflow in any financial year since inception. This would be
attributed to the global financial meltdown and the home bias in of FIIs in the
crisis.
Thus, there has been notable surge in FII investment since 1993-94,
signifying the attractiveness of the Indian markets and it is an expression of
confidence on the part of international investment community in the regulatory
framework for the securities market.
The net FII investment during 2007-08 stood at Rs.66177 crores. In the
year 2008-09, a net FII investment dipped to Rs.-45810 crores while net
cumulative FII investment dropped and stood at Rs. 244653 crores.

FII were allowed to invest in the Indian capital market from September
1992; however, investment by them was first made in January 1993. The Indian
gilts market was opened up for FII investment in April 1998. Till December 1998,
investments were related to equity only as investments in debt were made from
January 1999.
It is clear from table no 7.7 that in the year 1997-98 FII's net investment in
equity segment stood at Rs. 5267 crores. It registered an outflow of Rs. -717
crores in 1998-99. Thereafter it rose continuously till 2005-06. It was stood at
Rs.488005.5 crores, which decreased to Rs.25235.7 Crores in 2006-07, it
increase to Rs 534038 crores in 2007-08. However, it declined in 2008-09 to Rs. -
47706.3 crores.
The net investment in debt segment do not hold particular pattern. In the
year 1997-98, it was Rs. 691.1 crores. In the year1998-99, 2000-2001 & 2005-06
it recorded outflow of Rs.-867 crores, Rs.-273.3 crores and Rs.-7333.8 crores
respectively. It was stood at Rs 1895.2 crores in 2008-09.
Total net FII investment was Rs.13.4 crores in 1991-92. It increase
significantly and stood at Rs.66179.1 crores in 2007-08. In the year 2008-09 total
investment declined to Rs.-45811.0 crores.
It is observed that the share of equity investment to the total investment of
FII is greater than debt investment. In the year 2008-09, FII investment declined in
equity segment while it remained positive in debt segment of Indian stock market.

Conclusion:
The FII investment has always been the subject of debate in term of
desirability. This is because of FII money is known to be hot money that would flee
at the first sign of trouble. At present, total holding of each FII/Sub account under
the portfolio scheme should not exceeded 10% of the total paid up capital and
holding of all FII/Sub accounts put together should not exceed 24% of the paid up
capital. There has been a notable surge in FII investment since 1993-94 signifying
the attractiveness of the Indian stock market and is an expression of confidence
on the part of international investment community in the regularatory framework
for the securities market.
It is seen that during study period, the share of equity investment to the
total investment of FII is greater than Debt investment. It is also seen that average
share of net FII investment in secondary market of BSE is around 33.18% to the
total net FII investment. The percentage average share of FII trade in total
turnover of BSE is 14.0% during the study period.
The correlation analysis shows that there is a significant correlation
between FII investments with BSE Sensex. There is no significant correlation
between Return and FII investment. It is also found that, there is no significant
correlation between FII investment and monthly turnover of BSE during the study
period.
