4.3 FINANCIAL MARKETS:
A financial market can be defined as the market in which financial assets are created or transferred.
Financial assets represents represent a claim to the payments of a sum of money sometime in the
future and/or periodic payment in the form of interest or dividend. Financial Market performs an
important function of mobilization of savings and channeling them into the most productive uses.
The participants in the financial markets are financial institutions, agents, brokers, dealers,
borrowers, lenders, savers and others who are inter-linked by the laws, contracts and
communication networks.

Financial markets consist ofPrimary and SecondaryMarkets. The Primary markets deal in new
financial claims and securities and hence are known as new issue markets. The secondary market
deals in securities already issued, existing or outstanding. Financial markets are also classified as
Money and Capital Markets. Money markets deals with transactions in short-term instruments
(with period of maturity one year or less, e.g. treasury bills), while capital market deals with
transactions in long-term instruments (with period of maturity above one year, e.g. corporate
debentures and government bonds).
On the basis of the type of the financial claim, financial markets are classified as Debt and Equity
markets. By the timing of delivery, financial markets are classified as Cash or Spot markets and
Forward or Future markets.
The classification of financial markets can be summarized as follows:
Money Market
Debt Market
Forex Market
Capital Market

1. MONEY MARKETS:
Money markets can be defined as a market for short-term money and financial assets that are near
substitutes for money (any financial assets that can be quickly converted into money with
minimum transaction cost). One more important function of this market is to channel savings into
short-term productive investments like working capital. Money market aids banking, operates as amedium of integration between sub markets, promotes maintaining of minimum reserve in the
form of cash and liquidity and controls the interest rates.
Money market is a collection of market for the instruments like Call money, Treasury bills,
Commercial papers, Certificate of deposits, Money Market Mutual Funds, etc. A certain degree of
flexibility in the regulatory framework exists and there are constant endeavors for introducing a
new instruments or innovating dealing techniques. It is a wholesale market and the volume of
funds or financial assets traded are very large i.e. in corers of rupees.
DEBT MARKET:
Traditionally debt instruments are known for generating a predetermined income for a given period
of time, other than in cases of default. Hence they are also known as fixed income instruments. The
debt markets in advanced are significantly larger and deeper than equity markets. But in India, the
trend is just the opposite. The development of debt market in India has not been as remarkable as
in the equity market. However the debt markets in India have undergone a considerable change in
the last few years. Characterized by regulated interest rates, limited players and lack of trading
earlier, the markets have become more integrated and less regulated. The debt market in India is
divided into two categories:

Capital market consists of primary and secondary markets. The primary markets create long-term
instruments through which corporate entities borrow and the secondary market provides liquidity
and marketability to these instruments. Companies can raise capital in the primary market through
the issue of shares and debentures for which prior approval of The SEBI is required. The
secondary market that operates through the medium of stock exchanges is that segment of the
capital market where securities already issued are traded.
4.4 BASKET OF FINANCIAL PRODUCTS:
1. BOND:
Individuals have surplus funds in the form of savings, which they want to invest. Companies need
funds to undertake good projects with high returns. Companies provide individuals with
instruments to invest their savings in. One such instrument is a corporate bond. Similarly,
governments also need funds for various developmental projects. Further, the government also
needs to raise money to finance the fiscal deficit. They too tap the savings by issuing various kinds
of bonds.
Bonds have a fixed face value, which is the amount to be returned to the investor upon maturity of
the bond. During this period, the investors receive a regular payment of interest, semi-annually or
annually, which is calculated as a certain percentage of the face value and know as a 'coupon
payment.'
Issuing a bond: The government, publicsector units and corporate are the dominant issuers in the
bond market. The central government raises funds through the issue of dated securities (securities
with maturity period ranging from two years to 30 years, long-term) and treasury bills (securities
with maturity periods of 91 or 364 days, short-term).
The central government securities are issued for a minimum amount of Rs 10, 000 (face value).
Thereafter they are issued in multiples of Rs 10,000. They are issued through an auction carried
out by the Reserve Bank of India.
State governments go about raising money through state development loans. Local bodies of
various states like municipalities also tap the bond market from time to time. Bonds are also issued
by public sector banks and PSUs. Corporate on the other hands raise funds by issuing commercial
paper (short-term) and bonds (long-term).

2. Fixed interest rate.
3. Regular payment of interest.
4. Less risky.
5. Some bonds give tax redemption.
2. INSURANCE:
A human life is also an income-generating asset. This asset also can be lost through unexpectedly
early death or made non-functional through sickness & disabilities caused by accidents. Accidents
may or may not happen. Death will happen, but the timing is uncertain. If it happens around the
time of one's retirement, when it could be expected that the income will cease, the person
concerned could have made some other arrangements to meet the continuing needs. But if it
happens much earlier when the alternate arrangements are not in place, insurance is necessary to
help the dependents.
In case of a human being, he may have made arrangements for his needs after his retirement. These
would have been made on the basis of some expectations like he may live for another 15 years, or
Page 37
-
7/31/2019 mehta sunil
38/90
38
that his children will look after him. If any of these expectations do not come true, the original
arrangement would become inadequate and there could be difficulties. Living too long can be as
much a problem as dying too young. These are risks, which need to be safeguarded against.
Insurance takes care of it.
Insurance, in law and economics, is a form ofrisk managementprimarily used to hedge against the
risk of potential financial loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a
potential loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium and duty of care is necessary
to help the dependents.
Types of insurance:
Any risk that can be quantified probably has a type of insurance to protect it. Among the different
types of insurance are:
1 Automobile insurance, also known as auto insurance, car insurance and in the UKas motor
insurance, is probably the most common form of insurance and may cover both legal liability
claims against the driver and loss of ordamage to the vehicle itself.
2 Casualty insurance insures against accidents, not necessarily tied to any specific property.
3 Credit insurance pays some or all of a loan back when certain things happen to the borrower such
as unemployment, disability, ordeath.
4 Financial loss insurance protects individuals and companies against various financial risks. For
example, a business might purchase cover to protect it from loss of sales if a fire in a factory
prevented it from carrying out its business for a time. Insurance might also cover failure of a
creditor to pay money it owes to the insured. Fidelity bonds and surety bonds are included in this
category.
5 Health insurance covers medical bills incurred because ofsickness or accidents.
6 Liability insurance covers legal claims against the insured. For example, a doctor may purchase
insurance to cover any legal claims against him if he were to be convicted of a mistake in treating a
patient.
7 Life insurance provides a benefit to a decedent's family or other designated beneficiary, to replace
loss of the insured's income and provide forburial and other final expenses.
8 Annuities provide a stream of payments and are generally classified as insurance because they are
issued by insurance companies and regulated as insurance. Annuities and pensions that pay a

benefit for life are sometimes regarded as insurance against the possibility that a retiree will
outlive his or her financial resources. In that sense, they are the complement of life insurance.
9 Political risk insurance can be taken out by businesses with operations in countries in which
there is a risk that revolution or otherpolitical conditions will result in a loss.
10 Property insurance provides protection against risks to property, such as fire, theft orweather
damage. This includes specialized forms of insurance such as fire insurance, flood insurance,
earthquake insurance, home insurance orboiler insurance.
11 Title insurance provides a guarantee that title to real property is vested in the purchaser and/or
mortgagee, free and clear of liens or encumbrances. It is usually issued in conjunction with a
search of the public records done at the time of a real estate transaction.
12 Workers' compensation insurance replaces all or part of a worker's wages lost and accompanying
medical expense incurred due to a job-related injury.
3. TAX PLANNING:
An Individual needs to take the taxation into consideration at all times, from the stage of earning
the income, incurring expenditure to the time of investing in various types of securities, deposits
etc. Return on investment in the form of income, when received, attracts income tax under the
Income Tax Act. Incidence of income tax depends on the nature of your investment, income and
the quantum of other income like salary, rent from property, interest etc.
Other common sources of incomes are: interest on bank deposits, debentures, bonds, deposits with
companies, provident fund (and PPF), NSC, dividend income from shares or from mutual funds,
royalties, one time windfall gains, income from profession, business or pension. Income Tax act
treats each one of these incomes separately and allows many deductions, exemptions etc.
depending, mainly, upon the source of income. It is, therefore, necessary to learn and understand
the Sections of Income Tax Act applicable to your source(s) of income BEFORE you invest and
BEFORE you decide to incur any major expenditure. One must take a keen interest in the annual
budget exercise of Government of India (GOI) as the tools available for tax planning in India are a
dynamic lot which undergo a change with every budget.
The annual budget represents the desire of GOI to direct the savings into specific channels and
areas. Various incentives, tax sops given away in every budget are the tools used to encourage
individuals and corporate to direct their savings into these areas. You can use these sops to
Page 39
-
7/31/2019 mehta sunil
40/90
40
enhance the disposable income in your hands, thus serving the twin purposes of saving for your
self and also help the society in growing in the desired direction.
One point that needs to be kept in mind is that managing your personal finance has nothing to do
with tax avoidance. Taxes have to be paid and they must be paid as our dues to the society that
makes life in an organized manner possible. However, a little tax planning can enable you to avail
of all the avenues that our tax system provides you to save and grow.
a. Tax deduction is available under following section:
Used to allow deduction of interest earned on ,say, a National Saving Certificate, or Bank deposit
up to a limit of Rs.12,000. But now all these are gone. In their place has come Section 80C u/s
80 CCC, & u/s 80CCD, as the Finance Bill puts it. Thus, the new Section 80C of the Income Tax
Act proposed in Union Budget gives you a bigger tax bread than what the current regime offers.
Deduction in respect of Life Insurance Premium, Contribution to Provident Fund, etc Rs.10,000 in
pension funds.
Section 80CCC:-Is for deduction in respect of contribution to certain Pension Funds Section 80L
is for deductions in respect to Interest on certain Securities, Dividends, etc

4. MUTUAL FUND:
A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common
financial goal. The money thus collected is invested by the fund manager in different types of
securities depending upon the objective of the scheme. These could range from shares to
debentures to money market instruments. The income earned through these investments and the
Page 40
-
7/31/2019 mehta sunil
41/90
41
capital appreciations realized by the scheme are shared by its unit holders in proportion to the
number of units owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the
common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed portfolio
at a relatively low cost. Anybody with an investible surplus of as little as a few thousand rupees
can invest in Mutual Funds. Each Mutual Fund scheme has a defined investment objective and
strategy.
Investments in securities are spread across a wide cross-section of industries and sectors and thus
the risk is reduced. Diversification reduces the risk because all stocks may not move in the same
direction in the same proportion at the same time. Mutual fund issues units to the investors in
accordance with quantum of money invested by them. Investors of mutual funds are known as unit
holders.
The profits or losses are shared by the investors in proportion to their investments. The mutual
funds normally come out with a number of schemes with different investment objectives, which
are launched from time to time. A mutual fund is required to be registered with Securities and
Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which regulates securities markets before it can collect funds
from the public.
The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual fund:
A. Organization of Mutual fund:
There are many entities involved and the diagram below illustrates the organizational set up
of a mutual fund:
The mutual fund industry in India began with the setting up of the Unit Trust In India (UTI) in
1964 by the Government of India. During the last 36 years, UTI has grown to be a dominant player
in the industry with assets of over Rs. 76,547 Crores as of
March 31, 2000. The UTI is governed by a special legislation, the Unit Trust of India Act, 1963. In
1987 public sector banks and insurance companies were permitted to set up mutual funds and
accordingly since 1987, 6 public sector banks have set up mutual funds. Also the two Insurance
companies LIC and GIC established mutual funds. Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
formulated the Mutual Fund (Regulation) 1993, which for the first time established a
Page 41
-
7/31/2019 mehta sunil
42/90
42
comprehensive regulatory framework for the mutual fund industry. Since then several mutual
funds have been set up by the private and joint sectors.
B. Types of Mutual Funds:
Mutual fund schemes may be classified on the basis of its structure and its investment objective.
a) By Structure:
1. Open-ended Funds:
An open-end fund is one that is available for subscription all through the year. These do not have a
fixed maturity. Investors can conveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset Value ("NAV") related
prices. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity.
2. Closed-ended Funds:
A closed-end fund has a stipulated maturity period which generally ranging from 3 to 15 years.
The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period. Investors can invest in the scheme
at the time of the initial public issue and thereafter they can buy or sell the units of the scheme on
the stock exchanges where they are listed. In order to provide an exit route to the investors, some
close-ended funds give an option of selling back the units to the Mutual Fund through periodic
repurchase at NAV related prices. SEBI Regulations stipulate that at least one of the two exit
routes is provided to the investor.
3. Interval Funds:
Interval funds combine the features of open-ended and close-ended schemes. They are open for
sale or redemption during pre-determined intervals at NAV related prices.
b) By Investment Objective:
1. Growth Funds:
The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long- term. Such
schemes normally invest a majority of their corpus in equities. It has been proven that returns from
Page 42
-
7/31/2019 mehta sunil
43/90
43
stocks, have outperformed most other kind of investments held over the long term. Growth
schemes are ideal for investors having a long-term outlook seeking growth over a period of time.
2. Income Funds:
The aim of income funds is to provide regular and steady income to investors. Such schemes
generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate debentures and Government
securities. Income Funds are ideal for capital stability and regular income.
3. Balanced Funds:
The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular income. Such schemes
periodically distribute a part of their earning and invest both in equities and fixed income securities
in the proportion indicated in their offer documents. In a rising
stock market, the NAV of these schemes may not normally keep pace, fall equally when the
market falls. These are ideal for investors looking for a combination of income and moderate
growth.
4. Money Market Funds:
The aim of money market funds is to provide easy liquidity, preservation of capital and moderate
income. These schemes generally invest in safer short-term instruments such as treasury bills,
certificates of deposit, commercial paper and inter-bank call money. Returns on these schemes may
fluctuate depending upon the interest rates prevailing in the market. These are ideal for Corporate
and individual investors as a means to park their surplus funds for short periods.
5. Load Funds:
A Load Fund is one that charges a commission for entry or exit. That is, each time you buy or sell
units in the fund, a commission will be payable. Typically entry and exit loads range from 1% to
2%. It could be worth paying the load, if the fund has a good performance history.
6. Gilt Fund:
Page 43
-
7/31/2019 mehta sunil
44/90
44
These funds invest exclusively in government securities. Government securities have no default
risk. NAVs of these schemes also fluctuate due to change in interest rates and other economic
factor as is the case with income or debt oriented schemes.
7.Index Funds:
Index Funds replicate the portfolio of a particular index such as the BSE Sensitive index, S&P
NSE 50 index (Nifty), etc These schemes invest in the securities in the same weight age
comprising of an index. NAVs of such schemes would rise or fall in accordance with the rise or
fall in the index, though not exactly by the same percentage due to some factors known as
"tracking error" in technical terms.
c) Other Schemes:
1. Tax Saving Schemes:
These schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under specific provisions of the Indian Income
Tax laws as the Government offers tax incentives for investment in specified avenues. Investments
made in Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) and Pension Schemes are allowed as deduction
u/s 88 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Act also provides opportunities to investors to save
capital gains u/s 54EA and 54EB by investing in Mutual Funds, provided the capital asset has been
sold prior to April 1, 2000 and the amount is invested before September 30, 2000.
d) Special Schemes:
1. Industry Specific Schemes:
Industry Specific Schemes invest only in the industries specified in the offer document. The
investment of these funds is limited to specific industries like InfoTech, FMCG, and
Pharmaceuticals etc.
2. Index Schemes:
Page 44
-
7/31/2019 mehta sunil
45/90
45
Index Funds attempt to replicate the performance of a particular index such As the BSE Sensex or
the NSE 50.
3. Sectorial Schemes:
Sectorial Funds are those, which invest exclusively in a specified industry or a group of industries
or various segments such as 'A' Group shares or initial public offering.

include:
i. Stock market index:
There are a number of stock market indices but the most widely used is the SET Index, which
calculates the average price of all listed shares weighted by the number of registered shares. Thus,
price movements of large capitalization stocks have a greater influence on the movement of the
SET Index than price changes of small capitalization stocks.
Besides the SET Index , other stock price indices have been constructed to track market trends, for
example the SET50 Index, Book Club Index, TISCO Price Index, and Sector Indices to track the
price movements of individual sectors.

ii. Market turnover:
It's often quoted together with the SET Index to indicate how active the trading activities are. In a
bullish market, turnover is high as investors trade actively. Conversely, the market is sluggish
when investors do not trade actively. Thus, turnover is a crucial factor in an investment
consideration.
Advances, declines, and no change in stock prices. When most stock prices have closed higher, it
indicates that the market has had a good day. Conversely, when most stock prices have closed
lower, the market has a bad day. If stock prices are mostly unchanged, the market is moving in a
narrow range. Investors can try their own market analysis by looking at the trends in price
movement. This however reflects a short- term picture and other factors must be taken into
consideration.
e. Stock information:
In addition to the market information above, it's essential to understand how to pick good stocks.
Here are some basic investment principles.
i. Price:
Stock price is an important factor to investors, as buying and selling influence stock price
movements. At the end of the day, investors like to know how their stocks fared. Did they close
higher? Lower? And by how much? The change in price of a stock also reflects the amount of
money for investor decision-making whether to buy, sell, or hold. In stock valuation, price has to
be considered in conjunction with other performance variables such as earnings per share and
dividends.
ii. Price-Earnings Ratio (P/E Ratio):
The ratio is derived by comparing the Close Price (P) with Earnings per share (E). It is a measure
of the stock's fundamental value. P/E Ratio is calculated by dividing the Close Price (P) with
Earnings per share (E).
P/E = Close price or market price (P)
12-month earnings per share (E)
P/E ratio tells you how many years it will take the company's earnings to add up to its stock price
at the time of calculation.

For example, if the close price of stock ABC (P) is 100 Rs and its earnings per share (E) is 20 Rs,
then its P/E Ratio equals 100/20 = 5. That is, at the time of calculation, it will take only 5 years of
company ABC's earnings to equal its stock price.
A stock with low P/E ratio is preferable to one with a high P/E. Conversely, suppose stock DEF
closes at 200 Rs and its earnings per share (E) is 20 Rs, its P/E Ratio equals 200/20 = 10. At the
time of calculation, it will take 10 years of company DEF's earnings to equal its stock price.
Comparing stock ABC with stock DEF, we can draw an initial conclusion that stock ABC is more
attractive than stock DEF.
In brief, a low P/E stock has more earnings potential or is cheaper than a high P/E stock,
considering its earnings ability.
iii. Dividend Yield:
Rate of dividend return, shown in percentage form. A stock with a high Dividend Yield is more
attractive because you get aHigher rate of return in the form of dividends.
The formula for calculating Dividend Yield is
Dividend Yield = Dividend x 100
Stock Price
For example, if stock ABC has a market price of 20 Rs and pays a 2 baht dividend, its dividend
yield is
1 x 100 = 10%
20
iv. Trading Volume:
Trading volume or liquidity of a stock is important. It's easier to trade in/out of a stock with high
liquidity or large trading volume. It's difficult to buy a stock which has a low liquidity or low
trading volume because there are few sellers. And selling is difficult if there are few or no buyers
when you want to sell because you urgently need the cash.

f. Financial Analysis:
Analysis of a company's growth potential, stability, financial and management strengths, and profit
potential for its investors. Financial analysis is a rather complex exercise and can be left until
you've mastered more basic investment knowledge.
4.5 ABOUT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT:
Portfolio is nothing but the total holding of securities belonging to any person.
Portfolio management is the process of managing money, including investments, budgeting,
banking and taxes. The portfolio management process involves formulating, modifying and
implementing a real estate investment strategy in light of an investor's broader overall investment
objectives. It also can be defined as the management of several properties owned by a single entity
The basis for constructing a portfolio should reflect the enterprise"s particular needs. For example,
you might choose to build a portfolio around initiatives for a specific product, business segment, or
separate business unit within a multinational organization.
A long-term investment strategy requires more than a passive investandforget" approach.
Once youve created an investment strategy and built your portfolio, youve taken the first
steps toward reaching your financial goals. As time passes, you will need to review your
portfolio regularly to make sure you stay on track.
Portfolio planning is a structured and intelligent way of spreading your risk through different
investment options and to enjoy the diversification benefits marked with a higher rate of interests.
There is no fixed rule on how to plan your portfolio but there are several platforms available on
which you can explore the art of perfect portfolio building.
It is equally important to check the portfolio performance in every quarter. Presently, the stock
market sentiment is slowly going upward with a new hope of revival by late this year. This is a
good time for investors to reshuffle their portfolios.
For example, the market is expected to sustain the growth in the FMCG sector with the news of 20
percent average growth by FMCG majors last quarter. Major heavy weights like HLL and
Cadburys are trading at 15 percent to 20 percent below their 52-week high. One of the major
reasons for failure in portfolio management is the lack of realistic objectives. What can rationally

be expected is often quite different from the hyped anticipation created in the minds of investor. To
be successful in the portfolio planning, you need to be aware of historical precedents.
One of the reasons for your investment portfolio not giving the expected returns could be - you
have not properly planned to cover your tax liability. In this section, we present a comparison ofinvestments, which can reduce your tax burden.
Most of us think of investing in tax only in the month of March and as the D-day approaches, there
is a rush to invest in any tax-saving avenue be it infrastructure bonds, ELSS schemes or PPF
without any proper thought before investing. Ideally, investing for tax saving purposes, should be
an integral part of your portfolio plan, helping you reach your investment goals in a tax efficient
way.
The number of tax saving options on offer not only serve the purpose of saving tax but also offerother benefits such as risk coverage, capital appreciation, retirement savings etc. In this section,
we have attempted to give a comparison of the various tax-saving investments, which should help
you make an informed and intelligent decision regarding your tax investments. The comparison is
done in a group of two on the parameters of safety, returns, tenure and tax benefits. The argument
behind grouping of those avenues is not very complicated; we just want to address the dilemma of
much talked groups. For instance, one can ask whether investment in NSC is better when
compared to Infrastructure bond. The grouping has not been addressed. In this section, we suggest
those readers to compare in their own for these kind of grouping after taking a look at the
arguments of the available grouping.
4.6 MARKOWITZ PORTFOLIO THEORY:

In the earlier days the investment communities talked about risk and returns but there was no
specific model to further term. The basic portfolio model was developed by Harry Markowitz, who
derived the expected rate of return for a portfolio of assets and an expected risk measure. Before
Markowitz, investors dealt loosely wit the concepts of return and risk. He was first to develop the
concept of portfolio diversification in a formal way He quantified the concept of diversification.
He showed quantitatively why and how portfolio diversification works to reduce the risk of
portfolio to an investors. He was first to develop specific measure of portfolio risk and to derive
the expected rate of return and risk for a portfolio based on co variance relationship.
Markowitz model is based on several assumptions regarding investment behavior as:-
1. Investors consider each investment alternative as being represented by a probability
distribution of expected return over some holding period.
2. Investors maximize one period expected utility, and their utilities curves demonstrate
diminishing marginal utility of wealth.
3. Investors estimate the risk of the portfolio on the basis of the variability of expected
returns.
4. Investors base decisions solely on expected return on risk, so their utility curves are
functions of expected return and expected variance of returns only.
5. For a given risk level, investor prefer, higher returns to lower returns. Similarly for a given
level of expected return, investors prefer less risk to more risk.
Under these assumptions , a single asset or a portfolio assets is considered to be efficient if no
other assets or portfolio assets offers higher expected return with the same( or Lower ) risk, or
lower risk with same ( or higher ) expected returns.
VARIANCE OF RETURNS FOR AN INDIVIDUAL INVESTMENT:-

We will be using the variance or standard deviation of returns as the measure of risk. The variance
or standard deviation is a measure of the variation of possible rate of returns, Ri, from the expected
rate of return [E (Ri)] as follows:

One reason to review your portfolio is that market conditions or some aspect of your financial
situation say, your time horizon or your tolerance for risk may have changed since you
created your investment strategy. If the change has been significant, you will need to consider
adjusting your portfolios asset mix. Another reason you might have to considering giving your
portfolio a new look is in response to a significant life event.
Let us consider this example, Suppose your investment strategy was originally designed to achieve
long-term growth, and your portfolio consists primarily of stocks. At the end of the first year, a
year of tremendous growth in the stock market-you review your portfolio and you see that,
although your bond and short-term investments have enjoyed only modest growth, your stock
investments have significantly increased in value. In fact, your stock investments have grown so
much that they now represent a larger proportion of your portfolio. The result is that your portfolio
is out of balance as you have more money in stocks, and less in bonds, than you did when you built
a portfolio according to your investment strategy. This increases your risk considerably. The
solution, assuming your original asset mix is still appropriate for your goals, is to "rebalance" your
portfolio -shift enough money from your stock investments to your bond investments to restore the
proportions of the original asset mix.
Income investing:
A great way to obtain monthly income is to invest in good dividend-paying stocks. Most
companies pay dividends on a quarterly basis; hence you need to purchase several different stocks
whose dividend payments are staggered. When you are buying a good dividend paying stock, you
are not necessarily looking for a stock that will appreciate by double of its value in a year's time
but you are looking for one that will pay you regular and substantial income and additionally give
you adequate protection on the downside.
However, simply investing in companies with the highest dividend may not solve your purpose of
income investing. More important is the dividend yield, which is calculated by dividing the annual
dividends per share by the share price. This represents an annual rate of return a stock would
provide on the basis of its dividend alone. A dividend yield higher than the post-tax yields of fixed
income securities is definitely a good option for investors who look for income investing. As
dividends are paid from the Net Income of the company, it is always better to check the
Page 57

58
consistency of dividend yields of selected stocks to see whether the company would be able to
sustain the same level of yields in foreseeable future.
In general, companies with low growth prospects offer a high dividend yield, against those with
high growth prospects. Important to mention that dividend yield has an inverse relationship with
price. Hence, in a bull market, even if the dividend rate is high, as the share price is relatively
higher, we may find the dividend yield lower. Same way in a bear market, when share prices are
low, dividend yields tend to move up.
Growth Investing:
Growth investing is selecting and buying stock in companies that tend to grow substantially fasterthan others. The idea behind is that a growth in earnings and/or revenues would directly correlate
into an increase in the stock price. Over the past few years, technology companies have been
recognized as growth stocks. Although, this strategy has proven sustainable over a long period of
time, growth investing involves special risks and as such, may not be suitable for all investors. The
other characteristics of growth stocks include higher than average P/E ratio and
