INTRODUCTION TO STUDY
The field of investment traditionally divided into security analysis and portfolio
management. The heart of security analysis is valuation of financial assets. Value in turn is the
function of risk and return. These two concepts are in the study of investment .Investment can

future time period.
In today fast growing world many opportunities are available, so in order to move with
changes and grab the best opportunities in the field of investments a professional fund

importance as an investment alternative for the High Networth Investors.
Portfolio Management Services (PMS) is an investment portfolio in stocks, fixed income,
debt, cash, structured products and other individual securities, managed by a professional
money manager that can potentially be tailored to meet specific investment objectives.

which we found among most of the Investors. They are as follows.
Myth No. 1: PMS and Mutual Fund are Similar as the investment option
As in the Finance Basket both the PMS and Mutual Fund are used for minimizing risk and
maximize the profit of the Investors. The objectives are similar as in both the product but they
are different from each other in certain aspects. They are as follows.
Management Side

In PMS, Portfolio can be tailored to address each investor's specific needs. Whereas in
Mutual Fund Portfolio structured to meet the fund's stated investment objectives.
Ownership
In PMS, Investors directly own the individual securities in their portfolio, allowing for tax
management flexibility, whereas in Mutual Fund Shareholders own shares of the fund and
cannot influence buy and sell decisions or control their exposure to incurring tax liabilities.
Liquidity
In PMS, managers may hold cash; they are not required to hold cash to meet redemptions,
whereas, Mutual funds generally hold some cash to meet redemptions.

Myth No. 2: PMS is more Risk free than other Financial Instrument
In Financial Market Risk factor is common in all the financial products, but yes it is true that
Risk Factor vary from each other due to its nature.All investments involve a certain amount of
risk, including the possible erosion of the principal amount invested, which varies depending
on the security selected. For example, investments in small and mid-sized companies tend to
involve more risk than investments in larger companies.
INTRODUCTION TO STOCK EXCHANGE
The emergence of stock market can be traced back to 1830. In Bombay, business passed in
the shares of banks like the commercial bank, the chartered mercantile bank, the chartered
bank, the oriental bank and the old bank of Bombay and shares of cotton presses. In Calcutta,
Englishman reported the quotations of 4%, 5%, and 6% loans of East India Company as well
as the shares of the bank of Bengal in 1836. This list was a further broadened in 1839 when the
Calcutta newspaper printed the quotations of banks like union bank and Agra bank. It also
quoted the prices of business ventures like the Bengal bonded warehouse, the Docking
Company and the storm tug company.

Between 1840 and 1850, only half a dozen brokers existed for the limited business. But
during the share mania of 1860-65, the number of brokers increased considerably. By 1860,
the number of brokers was about 60 and during the exciting period of the American Civil war,their number increased to about 200 to 250. The end of American Civil war brought
disillusionment and many
Failures and the brokers decreased in number and prosperity. It was in those troublesome
times between 1868 and 1875 that brokers organized an informal association and finally as
recited in the Indenture constituting the Articles of Association of the Exchange.
On or about 9th day of July,1875, a few native brokers doing brokerage business in shares
and stocks resolved upon forming in Bombay an association for protecting the character, status
and interest of native share and stock brokers and providing a hall or building for the use of the
Members of such association.
As a meeting held in the broker Hall on the 5th day of February, 1887, it was resolved to
execute a formal deal of association and to constitute the first managing committee and to
appoint the first trustees. Accordingly, the Articles of Association of the Exchange and the
Stock
Exchange was formally established in Bombay on 3rd day of December, 1887. The
Association is now known as The Stock Exchange.
The entrance fee for new member was Re.1 and there were 318 members on the list, when
the exchange was constituted. The numbers of members increased to 333 in 1896, 362 in
1916and 478 in 1920 and the entrance fee was raised to Rs.5 in 1877, Rs.1000 in 1896,
Rs.2500 in 1916 and Rs. 48,000 in 1920. At present there are 23recognized stock exchanges
with about 6000 stockbrokers. Organization structure of stock exchange varies.
14 stock exchanges are organized as public limited companies, 6 as companies limited by
guarantee and 3 are non-profit voluntary organization. Of the total of 23, only 9 stock
exchanges have been permanent recognition. Others have to seek recognition on annual basis.

These exchange do not work of its own, rather, these are run by some persons and with the
help of some persons and institution. All these are down as functionaries on stock exchange.
These are:
i. Stockbrokersii. Sub-broker
iii. Market makersiv. Portfolio consultants etc.
1. Stockbrokers:
Stock brokers are the members of stock exchanges. These are the
persons who buy, sell or deal in securities. A certificate of registration from SEBI is
mandatory to act as a broker. SEBI can impose certain conditions while granting the certificate
of registrations. It is obligatory for the person to abide by the rules, regulations and the buy-
law. Stock brokers are commission broker, floor broker, arbitrageur etc.

2. Sub-broker:
A sub-broker acts as agent of stock broker. He is not a member of a stock
exchange. He assists the investors in buying, selling or dealing in securities through

3. Market Makers:
Market maker is a designated specialist in the specified securities.
They make both bid and offer at the same time. A market maker has to abide by bye-laws,rules regulations of the concerned stock exchange. He is exempt from the margin
requirements. As per the listing requirements, a company where the paid-up capital is Rs. 3
Crore but not more than Rs. 5 core and having a commercial operation for less than 2 years
should appoint a market maker at the time of issue of securities.
4. Portfolio Consultants:
A combination of securities such as stocks, bonds and money
market instruments iscollectively called as portfolio. Whereas the portfolioconsultants are the
persons, firms or companies whoadvise, direct or undertake the management oradministration
of securities or funds on behalf of theirclients.
Traditionally stock trading is done through stock brokers, personally or through
telephones.
As number of people trading in stock market increase enormously in last few years, some
issues like location constrains, busy phone lines, miss communication etc start growing in
stock broker offices. Information technology (Stock Market Software) helps stock brokers in
solving these problems with Online Stock Trading.
Online Stock Market Trading is an internet based stock trading facility. Investor can trade
shares through a website without any manual intervention from Stock Broker.
There are two different type of trading environments available for online equity trading.
1. Installable software based Stock Trading Terminals
This trading environment requires software to be installed on investors computer. This
software is provided by the stock broker. This software requires high speed internet
connection. These kind of trading terminals are used by high volume intraday equity traders.

2.Web (Internet) based trading application
This kind of trading environment doesn't require any additional software installation. They
are like other internet websites which investor can access from around the world throughnormal internet connection.
Stock exchanges are like market places, where stockbrokers buy and sell securities for
individuals or institutions. As per the SCRA (Securities Contracts Regulation Act) 1956, the
definition of securities includes shares, bonds, stocks, debentures, government securities,
derivatives of securities, units of collective investment scheme (CIS) etc. The securities market
has two interdependent segments: the primary and secondary market.
The primary market is the channel for creation of new securities issued by public limited
companies or by government agencies. New securities issued in the primary market are traded
in the secondary market.
The secondary market operates through the over-the-counter (OTC) market and the
exchange trade market.
Advantages of Stocks Trading
1. Better returns
Actively trading stocks can produce better overall returns than simply buying and holding.
2. Huge Choice
There are thousands of stocks listed on markets around the world. There is always a stock
whose price is moving - its just a matter of finding them.
3. Familiarity
The most traded stocks are in the largest companies that most of us have heard of and
understand - Microsoft, IBM, and Cisco etc.

Disadvantages of Stocks Trading
1. Leverage
With a margined account the maximum amount of leverage available for stock trading isusually 4:1. Meaning a $25,000 could trade up to $100,000 of stock. This is pretty low
compared to Forex trading or futures trading.
2. Pattern Day Trader Rules
It requires at least $25,000 to be held in a trading account if the trader completes more than
4 trades in a 5 day period. No such rule applies to Forex trading or futures trading.
3. Uptick Rule on Short Selling
A trader must wait until a stock price ticks up before they can short sell it. Again there are
no such rules in Forex trading or futures trading where going short are as easy as going long.
4. Need to Borrow Stock to Short
Stocks are physical commodities and if a trader wishes to go short then the broker must
have arrangements in place to borrow that stock from a shareholder until the trader closes their
position. This limits the opportunities available for short selling. Contrast this to futures
trading where selling is as easy as buying.
5. Costs
Although online trading costs for stock trading are low they still add considerably to the
costs of day trading. Online futures trading are about 1/4 of the cost for the equivalent value.
In the UK 0.5% stamp duty is also levied on all share purchases making trading virtually
impossible, hence the popularity of spread betting.

LITERATURE REVIEW
PORTFOLIO MANGEMNT SERVICES (PMS)
Portfolio (finance) means a collection of investments held by an institution or a private
individual. Holding a portfolio is often part of an investment and risk-limiting strategy called
diversification. By owning several assets, certain types of risk (in particular specific risk) can
be reduced. There are also portfolios which are aimed at taking high risks these are called
concentrated portfolios.
Investment management is the professional management of various securities (shares,
bonds etc) and other assets (e.g. real estate), to meet specified investment goals for the benefit
of the investors. Investors may be institutions (insurance companies, pension funds,
corporations etc.) or private investors (both directly via investment contracts and more
commonly via collective investment schemes e.g. mutual funds).
The term asset management is often used to refer to the investment management of
collective investments, whilst the more generic fund management may refer to all forms of
institutional investment as well as investment management for private investors. Investment
managers who specialize in advisory or discretionary management on behalf of (normally
wealthy) private investors may often refer to their services as wealth management or portfolio
management often within the context of so-called "private banking".
The provision of 'investment management services' includes elements of financial analysis,
asset selection, stock selection, plan implementation and ongoing monitoring of investments.Outside of the financial industry, the term "investment management" is often applied to
investments other than financial instruments. Investments are often meant to include projects,
brands, patents and many things other than stocks and bonds. Even in this case, the term
implies that rigorous financial and economic analysis methods are used.

Need of PMS
As in the current scenario the effectiveness of PMS is required. As the PMS givesinvestors periodically review their asset allocation across different assets as the portfolio can
get skewed over a period of time. This can be largely due to appreciation / depreciation in the
value of the investments.
As the financial goals are diverse, the investment choices also need to be different to meet
those needs. No single investment is likely to meet all the needs, so one should keep some
money in bank deposits and / liquid funds to meet any urgent need for cash and keep the
balance in other investment products/ schemes that would maximize the return and minimize
the risk. Investment allocation can also change depending on ones risk-return profile.

7. Minimize risk: -
Risk avoidance and minimization of risk are important objective of portfolio
management. Portfolio managers achieve these objectives by effective investmentplanning and periodical review of market, situation and economic environment
affecting the financial market.
PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION
The Portfolio Construction of Rational investors wish to maximize the returns on their
funds for a given level of risk. All investments possess varying degrees of risk. Returns come
in the form of income, such as interest or dividends, or through growth in capital values (i.e.
capital gains).
The portfolio construction process can be broadly characterized as comprising the
following steps:
1. Setting objectives.
The first step in building a portfolio is to determine the main objectives of the fund given
the constraints (i.e. tax and liquidity requirements) that may apply. Each investor has different
objectives, time horizons and attitude towards risk. Pension funds have long-term obligations
and, as a result, invest for the long term. Their objective may be to maximize total returns in
excess of the inflation rate. A charity might wish to generate the highest level of income whilst
maintaining the value of its capital received from bequests. An individual may have certain
liabilities and wish to match them at a future date. Assessing a clients risk tolerance can be
difficult. The concepts of efficient portfolios and diversification must also be considered when
setting up the investment objectives.

2. Defining Policy.
Once the objectives have been set, a suitable investment policy must be established. Thestandard procedure is for the money manager to ask clients to select their preferred mix of
assets, for example equities and bonds, to provide an idea of the normal mix desired. Clients
are then asked to specify limits or maximum and minimum amounts they will allow to be
invested in the different assets available. The main asset classes are cash, equities, gilts/bonds
and other debt instruments, derivatives, property and overseas assets. Alternative investments,
such as private equity, are also growing in popularity, and will be discussed in a later chapter.
Attaining the optimal asset mix over time is one of the key factors of successful investing.
3. Applying portfolio strategy.
At either end of the portfolio management spectrum of strategies are active and passive
strategies. An active strategy involves predicting trends and changing expectations about the
likely future performance of the various asset classes and actively dealing in and out of
investments to seek a better performance. For example, if the manager expects interest rates to
rise, bond prices are likely to fall and so bonds should be sold, unless this expectation is
already
factored into bond prices. At this stage, the active fund manager should also determine the
style of the portfolio. For example, will the fund invest primarily in companies with large
market capitalizations, in shares of companies expected to generate high growth rates, or in
companies whose valuations are low? A passive strategy usually involves buying securities to
match a preselected market index. Alternatively, a portfolio can be set up to match the
investors choice of tailor-made index. Passive strategies rely on diversification to reduce risk.
Outperformance versus the chosen index is not expected. This strategy requires minimum
input from the portfolio manager. In practice, many active funds are managed somewhere
between the active and passive extremes, the core holdings of the fund being passively
managed and the balance being actively managed.

21
4. Asset selections.
Once the strategy is decided, the fund manager must select individual assets in which toinvest. Usually a systematic procedure known as an investment process is established, which
sets guidelines or criteria for asset selection. Active strategies require that the fund managers
apply analytical skills and judgment for asset selection in order to identify undervalued assets
and to try to generate superior performance.
5. Performance assessments.
In order to assess the success of the fund manager, the performance of the fund is
periodically measured against a pre-agreed benchmark perhaps a suitable stock exchange
index or against a group of similar portfolios (peer group comparison). The portfolio
construction process is continuously iterative, reflecting changes internally and externally. For
example, expected movements in exchange rates may make overseas investment more
attractive, leading to changes in asset allocation. Or, if many large-scale investors
simultaneously decide to switch from passive to more active strategies, pressure will be put on
the fund managers to offer more active funds. Poor performance of a fund may lead to
modifications in individual asset holdings or, as an extreme measure; the manager of the fund
may be changed altogether.

Types of assets
The structure of a portfolio will depend ultimately on the investors objectives and on theasset selection decision reached. The portfolio structure takes into account a range of factors,
including the investors time horizon, attitude to risk, liquidity requirements, tax position and
availability of investments. The main asset classes are cash, bonds and other fixed income
securities, equities, derivatives, property and overseas assets.
Cash and cash instruments
Cash can be invested over any desired period, to generate interest income, in a range of highly
liquid or easily redeemable instruments, from simple bank deposits, negotiable certificates of
deposits, commercial paper (short term corporate debt) and Treasury bills (short term
government debt) to money market funds, which actively manage cash resources across a
range of domestic and foreign markets. Cash is normally held over the short term pending use
elsewhere (perhaps for paying claims by a non-life insurance company or for paying pensions),
but may be held over the longer term as well. Returns on cash are driven by the general
demand for funds in an economy, interest rates, and the expected rate of inflation. A portfolio
will normally maintain at least a small proportion of its funds in cash in order to take
advantage of buying opportunities.
Bonds
Bonds are debt instruments on which the issuer (the borrower) agrees to make interest
payments at periodic intervals over the life of the bondthis can be for two to thirty years or,
sometimes, in perpetuity. Interest payments can be fixed or variable, the latter being linked to
prevailing levels of interest rates. Bond markets are international and have grown rapidly over
recent years. The bond markets are highly liquid, with many issuers of similar standing,
including governments (sovereigns) and state-guaranteed organizations. Corporate bonds are
bonds that are issued by companies. To assist investors and to help in the efficient pricing of
bond issues, many bond issues are given ratings by specialist agencies such as Standard &
-
7/30/2019 Reoprt on Portfolio Management Services by Sharekhan Stock Broking Limited
24/103
24
Poors and Moodys. The highest investment grade is AAA, going all the way down to D,
which is graded as in default. Depending on expected movements in future interest rates, the
capital values of bonds fluctuate daily, providing investors with the potential for capital gainsor losses. Future interest rates are driven by the likely demand/ supply of money in an
economy, future inflation rates, political events and interest rates elsewhere in world markets.
Investors with short-term horizons and liquidity requirements may choose to invest in bonds
because of their relatively higher return than cash and their prospects for possible capital
appreciation. Long-term investors, such as pension funds, may acquire bonds for the higher
income and may hold them until redemption for perhaps seven or fifteen years. Because of
the greater risk, long bonds (over ten years to maturity) tend to be more volatile in price than
medium- and short-term bonds, and have a higher yield.
Equities
Equity consists of shares in a company representing the capital originally provided by
shareholders. An ordinary shareholder owns a proportional share of the company and an
ordinary share carries the residual risk and rewards after all liabilities and costs have been
paid. Ordinary shares carry the right to receive income in the form of dividends (once declared
out of distributable profits) and any residual claim on the companys assets once its liabilities
have been paid in full. Preference shares are another type of share capital. They differ from
ordinary shares in that the dividend on a preference share is usually fixed at some amount and
does not change. Also, preference shares usually do not carry voting rights and, in the event of
firm failure, preference shareholders are paid before ordinary shareholders. Returns from
investing in equities are generated in the form of dividend income and capital gain arising
from the ultimate sale of the shares. The level of dividends may vary from year to year,
reflecting the changing profitability of a company. Similarly, the market price of a share will
change from day to day to reflect all relevant available information. Although not guaranteed,
equity prices generally rise over time, reflecting general economic growth, and have been
found over the long term to generate growing levels of income in excess of the rate of
inflation. Granted, there may be periods of time, even years, when equity prices trend
downwardsusually during recessionary times. The overall long-term prospect, however, for
-
7/30/2019 Reoprt on Portfolio Management Services by Sharekhan Stock Broking Limited
25/103
25
capital appreciation makes equities an attractive investment proposition for major institutional
investors.
Derivatives
Derivative instruments are financial assets that are derived from existing primary assets as
opposed to being issued by a company or government entity. The two most popular derivatives
are futures and options. The extent to which a fund may incorporate derivatives products in the
fund will be specified in the fund rules and, depending on the type of fund established for the
client and depending on the client, may not be allowable at all.
A futures contract is an agreement in the form of a standardized contract between two
counterparties to exchange an asset at a fixed price and date in the future. The underlying asset
of the futures contract can be a commodity or a financial security. Each contract specifies the
type and amount of the asset to be exchanged, and where it is to be delivered (usually one of a
few approved locations for that particular asset). Futures contracts can be set up for the
delivery of cocoa, steel, oil or coffee. Likewise, financial futures contracts can specify the
delivery of foreign currency or a range of government bonds. The buyer of a futures contract
takes a long position, and will make a profit if the value of the contract rises after the
purchase. The seller of the futures contract takes a short position and will, in turn, make a
profit if the price of the futures contract falls. When the futures contract expires, the seller of
the contract is required to deliver the underlying asset to the buyer of the contract. Regarding
financial futures contracts, however, in the vast majority of cases no physical delivery of the
underlying asset takes place as many contracts are cash settled or closed out with the offsetting
position before the expiry date.
An option contract is an agreement that gives the owner the right, but not obligation, to
buy or sell (depending on the type of option) a certain asset for a specified period of time. A
call option gives the holder the right to buy the asset. A put option gives the holder the right to
sell the asset. European options can be exercised only on the options expiry date. US options
can be exercised at any time before the contracts maturity date. Option contracts on stocks or
-
7/30/2019 Reoprt on Portfolio Management Services by Sharekhan Stock Broking Limited
26/103
26
stock indices are particularly popular. Buying an option involves paying a premium; selling an
option involves receiving the premium. Options have the potential for large gains or losses,
and are considered to be high-risk instruments. Sometimes, however, option contracts are usedto reduce risk. For example, fund managers can use a call option to reduce risk when they own
an asset. Only very specific funds are allowed to hold options.
Property
Property investment can be made either directly by buying properties, or indirectly by
buying shares in listed property companies. Only major institutional investors with long-term
time horizons and no liquidity pressures tend to make direct property investments. These
institutions purchase freehold and leasehold properties as part of a property portfolio held for
the long term, perhaps twenty or more years. Property sectors of interest would include prime,
quality, well-located commercial office and shop properties, modern industrial warehouses and
estates, hotels, farmland and woodland. Returns are generated from annual rents and any
capital gains on realization. These investments are often highly illiquid.
Risk and Risk Aversion
Portfolio theory also assumes that investors are basically risk averse, meaning that, given a
choice between two assets with equal rates of return they will select the asset with lower level
of risk.
For example, they purchased various type of insurance including life insurance, Health
insurance and car insurance. The Combination of risk preference and risk aversion can be
explained by an attitude toward risk that depends on the amount of money involved.A discussion of portfolio or fund management must include some thought given to the
concept of risk. Any portfolio that is being developed will have certain risk constraints
specified in the fund rules, very often to cater to a particular segment of investor who
possesses a particular level of risk appetite. It is, therefore, important to spend some time

discussing the basic theories of quantifying the level of risk in an investment, and to attempt to
explain the way in which market values of investments are determined
Definition of Risk
Although there is a difference in the specific definitionsof risk and uncertainty, for our
purpose and in most financialliterature the two terms are used interchangeably. In fact, one
way to define risk is the uncertainty of future outcomes. Analternative definition might be
the probability of an adverse outcome.
Composite risks involve the different risk as explained below:-
(1). Interest rate risk: -
It occurs due to variability cause in return by changes in level of interest rate. In long runs
all interest rate move up or downwards. These changes affect the value of security. RBI, in
India, is the monitoring authority which effectalises the change in interest rate. Any upward
revision in interest rate affects fixed income security, which carry old lower rate of interest and
thus declining market value. Thus it establishes an inverse relationship in the prize of security.

Cash equivalent Less vulnerable to interest rate risk
Long term Bond More vulnerable to interest rate risk.

(2) Purchasing power risk:
It is known as inflation risk also. This risk emanates from the very fact that inflation affectsthe purchasing power adversely. Purchasing power risk is more in inflationary times in bonds
and fixed income securities. It is desirable to invest in such securities during deflationary
period or a period of decelerating inflation. Purchasing power risk is less in flexible income
securities like equity shares or common stuffs where rise in dividend income offset increase in
the rate of inflation and provide advantage of capital gains.
(3) Business risk:
Business risk emanates from sale and purchase of securities affected by business cycles,
technological change etc. Business cycle affects all the type of securities viz. there is cheerful
movement in boom due to bullish trend in stock prizes where as bearish trend in depression
brings downfall in the prizes of all types of securities. Flexible income securities are nearly
affected than fix rate securities during depression due to decline n the market prize.
(4) Financial risk:
Financial risk emanates from the changes in the capital structure of the company. It is also
known as leveraged risk and expressed in term of debt equity ratio. Excess of debts against
equity in the capital structure indicates the company to be highly geared or highly levered.
Although leveraged companys earnings per share (EPS) are more but dependence on
borrowing exposes it to the risk of winding up. For, its inability to the honor its commitments
towards the creditors are most important.
Here it is imperative to express the relationship between risk and return, which is depicted
graphically below

RISK VERSUS RETURN
Risk versus return is the reason why investors invest in portfolios. The ideal goal inportfolio management is to create an optimal portfolio derived from the best riskreturn
opportunities available given a particular set of risk constraints. To be able to make decisions,
it must be possible to quantify the degree of risk in a particular opportunity. The most common
method is to use the standard deviation of the expected returns. This method measures spreads,
and it is the possible returns of these spreads that provide the measure of risk. The presence of
risk means that more than one outcome is possible. An investment is expected to produce
different returns depending on the set of circumstances that prevail.
Table- 3
For example, given the following for Investment A:
Circumstance Return(x) Probability(p)
I 10% 0.2
II 12% 0.3
III 15% 0.4
IV 19% 0.1
It is possible to calculate:
1. The expected (or average) returnMean (average) = x = expected value (EV) = px
Circumstance Return(x) Probability(p) px
I 10% 0.2 2.0II 12% 0.3 3.6
III 15% 0.4 6.0
IV 19% 0.1 1.9

Expected Return (px) = 13.5%2. The Standard deviation
Standard deviation == p(x- x) 2
Also. Variance (VAR) is equal to the standard deviation squared or 2

Standard deviation () = Variance

= 2.66%
The standard deviation is a measure of risk, whereby the greater the standard deviation,
the greater the spread, and the greater the spread, the greater the risk.
If the above exercise were to be performed using another investment that offered the same
expected return, but a different standard deviation, then the following result might occur:
If the above exercise were to be performed using another investment that offered the same

Investment B 9% 4.0%

Since both investments have the same expected return, the best selection of investment
would be Investment A, which provides the lower risk. Similarly, if there are two investments
presenting the same risk, but one has a higher return than the other, that investment would bechosen over the investment with the lower return for the same risk.
In the real world, there are all types of investors. Some investors are completely risk averse
and others are willing to take some risk, but expect a higher return for that risk. Different
investors will also have different tolerances or threshold levels for riskreturn trade-offsi.e.
for a given level of risk, one investor may demand a higher rate of return than another investor.
INDIFFERNCE CURVE
Table - 4
Suppose the following situation exists
Plan Expected Return Risk(Standard
Deviation)
Investment A 10% 5%
Investment B 20% 10%
The question to ask here is, does the extra 10% return compensate for the extra risk? There is
no right answer, as the decision would depend on the particular investors attitude to risk. A
particular investors indifference curve can be ascertained by plotting what rate of return the
investor would require for each level of risk to be indifferent amongst all of the investments.
For example, there may be an investor who can obtain a return of 50% with zero risk and a
return of 55 %with a risk or standard deviation of 5% who will be indifferent between the two
investments. If further investments were considered, each with a higher degree of risk, the
investor would require still higher returns to make all of the investments equally attractive.
The investor being discussed could present the following as the indifference curve shown in
Figure.

It could be the case that this investor would have different indifference curves given a
different starting level of return for zero risk. The exercise would need to be repeated for
various levels of riskreturn starting points. An entire set of indifference curves could be
constructed that would portray a particular investors attitude towards risk

Utility scores
At this stage the concept of utility scores can be introduced. These can be seen as a way of
ranking competing portfolios based on the expected return and risk of those portfolios. Thus if
a fund manager had to determine which investment a particular investor would prefer, i.e.
Investment A equaling a return of 10% for a risk of 5% or Investment B equaling a return of
20% for a risk of 10%, the manager would create indifference curves for that particular
investor and look at the utility scores. Higher utility scores are assigned to portfolios or
investments with more attractive riskreturn profiles. Although several scoring systems are
legitimate, one function that is commonly employed assigns a portfolio or investment with
expected return or value EV and variance of returns 2the following utility value:
U = EV.005A2 where:
U = utility value
-
7/30/2019 Reoprt on Portfolio Management Services by Sharekhan Stock Broking Limited
35/103
35
A = an index of the investors aversion, (the factor of .005 is a scaling convention that
allows expression of the expected return and standard deviation in the equation as a percentage
rather than a decimal).
Utility is enhanced by high expected returns and diminished by high risk. Investors
choosing amongst competing investment portfolios will select the one providing the highest
utility value. Thus, in the example above, the investor will select the investment (portfolio)
with the higher utility value of 18.
Table - 5
Expected Return(EV) Standard deviation() Utility=EV-.005A
10% 5% 10
20% 10% 20
(Assume A= 4 in this case)
Portfolio Diversification
There are several different factors that cause risk or lead to variability in returns on an
individual investment. Factors that may influence risk in any given investment vehicle include
uncertainty of income, interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, tax rates, the state of the
economy, default risk and liquidity risk (the risk of not being able to sell on the investment). In
addition, an investor will assess the risk of a given investment (portfolio) within the context of
other types of investments that may already be owned, i.e. stakes in pension funds, lifeinsurance policies with savings components, and property.
One way to control portfolio risk is via diversification, whereby investments are made in
a wide variety of assets so that the exposure to the risk of any particular security is limited.
This concept is based on the old adage do not put all your eggs in one basket. If an investor
-
7/30/2019 Reoprt on Portfolio Management Services by Sharekhan Stock Broking Limited
36/103
36
owns shares in only one company, that investment will fluctuate depending on the factors
influencing that company. If that company goes bankrupt, the investor might lose 100 per cent
of the investment. If, however, the investor owns shares in several companies in differentsectors, then the likelihood of all of those companies going bankrupt simultaneously is greatly
diminished. Thus, diversification reduces risk. Although bankruptcy risk has been considered
here, the same principle applies to other forms of risk.

Covariance and Correlation
The goal is to hold a group of investments or securities within a portfolio potentially toreduce the risk level suffered without reducing the level of return. To measure the success of a
potentially diversified portfolio, covariance and correlation are considered. Covariance
measures to what degree the returns of two risky assets move in tandem. A positive covariance
means that the returns of the two assets move together, whilst a negative covariance means that
they move in inverse directions.
Covariance
COV(x, y) = p(x-x) (y-y) for two investments x and y, where p is the probability.
Covariance is an absolute measure, and covariances cannot be compared with one another.
To obtain a relative measure, the formula for correlation coefficient [r] is used.
Correlation coefficient
r = COVxy
xy
To illustrate the above, here is the example:
Table - 6
Circumstance Probability x-x y-y
p(x-x) (y-y)
I 0.2 +1.0 -3.5 -0.7
II 0.3 0 -1.5 0
III 0.4 +1.5 +1.5 0.9
IV 0.1 -4 +5.5 -2.2
COVxy =-2.0
-
7/30/2019 Reoprt on Portfolio Management Services by Sharekhan Stock Broking Limited
38/103
38
For data regarding (yy), see earlier example. Assume that a similar exercise has been run
for data regarding (xx). Assume the variance or 2 of x=2.45, and the variance or2 of y =
7.06. Thus, the correlation coefficient would be
r= -2.0 = -0.481
2.45 *7.056
If, the same example is run again, but using a different set of numbers for y, a different
correlation coefficient might result of say, 0.988. It can be concluded that a large negativecorrelation confirms the strong tendency of the two investments to move inversely.
Perfect positive correlation (correlation coefficient = +1) occurs when the returns from
two securities move up and down together in proportion. If these securities were combined in a
portfolio, the offsetting effect would not occur.
Perfect negative correlation (correlation coefficient =1) takes place when one security
moves up and the other one down in exact proportion. Combining these two securities in a
portfolio would increase the diversification effect.
Uncorrelated (correlation coefficient = 0) occurs when returns from two securities move
independently of each otherthat is, if one goes up, the other may go up or down or may not
move at all. As a result, the combination of these two securities in a portfolio may or may not
create a diversification effect. However, it is still better to be in this position than in a perfect
positive correlation situation.
Unsystematic and systematic risk
As mentioned previously, diversification diminishes risk: the more shares or assets held in
a portfolio or in investments, the greater the risk reduction. However, it is impossible to
-
7/30/2019 Reoprt on Portfolio Management Services by Sharekhan Stock Broking Limited
39/103
39
eliminate all risk completely even with extensive diversification. The risk that remains is
called market risk; the risk that is caused by general market influences. This risk is also known
as systematic risk or non-diversifiable risk. The risk that is associated with a specific asset andthat can be abolished with diversification is known as unsystematic risk, unique risk or
diversifiable risk.
Total risk = Systematic risk + Unsystematic risk
Systematic risk = the potential variability in the returns offered by a security or asset caused
by general market factors, such as interest rate changes, inflation rate movements, tax rates,
state of the economy.
Unsystematic risk = the potential variability in the returns offered by a security or asset
caused by factors specific to that company, such as profitability margins, debt levels, quality of
management, susceptibility to demands of customers and suppliers.
As the number of assets in a portfolio increases, the total risk may decline as a result of the
decline in the unsystematic risk in that portfolio. The relationship amongst these risks can be
quantified as follows
TR2
= SR2
+ UR2or 2i= s
2 + u2
Where:
= the investments total risk (standard deviation)
s =the investments systematic risk
u=the investments unsystematic risk.
The correlation coefficient between two investment opportunities can be expressed as:
s= i CORim
Where,
s = the investment systematic risk
i= the investments total risk (systematic and unsystematic)
-
7/30/2019 Reoprt on Portfolio Management Services by Sharekhan Stock Broking Limited
40/103
40
CORim = the correlation coefficient between the return of the investment and those of the
market.
If an investment were perfectly correlated to the market so that all its movements could be
fully explained by movements in market, then all of the risk would be systematic & i= s If
an investment were not correlated at all to the market, then all of its risk would be
unsystematic
TECHNOQUES OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Various types of portfolio require different techniques to be adopted to achieve the desired
objectives. Some of the techniques followed in India by portfolio managers are summarized
below.
(1). Equity portfolio-
Equity portfolio is affected by internal and external factors:
(a) Internal factorsPertain to the inner working of the particular company of which equity shares are held.
These factors generally include:
(1) Market value of shares
(2) Book value of shares
(3) Price earnings ratio (P/E ratio)
(4) Dividend payout ratio
(b) External factors
(1) Government policies
(2) Norms prescribed by institutions
(3) Business environment
-
7/30/2019 Reoprt on Portfolio Management Services by Sharekhan Stock Broking Limited
41/103
41
(4) Trade cycles
(2). Equity stock analysis
The basic objective behind the analysis is to determine the probable future value of the
shares of the concerned company. It is carried out primarily fewer than two ways. :
(a) Earnings per share
(b) Price earnings ratio
(A) Trend of earning: -
A higher price-earnings ratio discount expected profit growth. Conversely, adownward trend in earning results in a low price-earnings ratio to discount anticipated
decrease in profits, price and dividend. Rising EPS causes appreciation in price of
shares, which benefits investors in lower tax brackets? Such investors have not pay tax
or to give lower rate tax on capital gains.
Many institutional investor like stability and growth and support high EPS. Growth of EPS is diluted when a company finances internally its expansion program
and offers new stock.
EPS increase rapidly and result in higher P/E ratio when a company finances itsexpansion program from internal sources and borrowings without offering new stock.
(B) Quality of reported earning: -
Quality of reported earnings affects P/E ratio. The factors that affect the quality of reported
earnings are as under:
Depreciation allowances: -Larger (Non Cash) deduction for depreciation provides more funds to company to
finance profitable expansion schemes internally. This builds up future earning power
of company.
-
7/30/2019 Reoprt on Portfolio Management Services by Sharekhan Stock Broking Limited
42/103
42
Research and development outlets: -There is higher P/E ratio for a company, which carries R&D programs. R&D
enhances profit earning strength of the company through increased future sales.
Inventory and other non-recurring type of profit: -Low cost inventory may be sold at higher price due to inflationary conditions
among profit but such profit may not always occur and hence low P/E ratio.
(C) Dividend policy: -
Dividend policy is significant in affecting P/E ratio. With higher dividend ratio, equity price
goes up and thus raises P/E ratio. Dividend rates are raised to push in share prices up.
Dividend cover is calculated to find out the time the dividend is protected, In terms of
earnings. It is calculated as under:
Dividend Cover = EPS / Dividend per Share
(D) Investors demand: -
Demand from institutional investors for equity also enhances the P/E ratio.
(3) Quality of management: -
Investors decide about the ability and caliber of management and hold and dispose of
equity academy. P/E ratio is more where a company is managed by reputed entrepreneurs with
good past records of management performance.
Types of Portfolios
The different types of Portfolio which is carried by any Fund Manager to maximize profit
and minimize losses are different as per their objectives .They are as follows.
Aggressive Portfolio:
Objective: Growth. This strategy might be appropriate for investors who seek High
growth and who can tolerate wide fluctuations in market values, over the short term.
