Since the 1990s, one of the major forces changing the face and structure of international capital markets has been the flow of cross-border portfolio investments, especially by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) from developed countries to the developing economies. Portfolio investors provide institutional character to the capital markets, flavored by highly intensive research and diversified investments. FIIs are specialized financial intermediaries managing savings collectively on behalf of investors, especially small investors, towards specific objectives in terms of risks, returns, and maturity of claims. FIIs make investments in various countries to provide a measure of portfolio diversification and hedging to their assets. The forces driving the recent change in the investment portfolio of FIIs - as reflected in the growing emphasis on equities of emerging market economies - include, inter alia: (a) increased accessibility of these markets after liberalization, (b) improved marketability, (c) fewer problems relating to thin trading, and (d) improved macroeconomic fundamentals of recipient countries. This book provides a detailed account and examination of various dimensions, determinants, deterrents, and other aspects of investment flows into India through FIIs.

Global integration, the widening and intensifying of links between high-income and developing countries has accelerated over the years. Over the past few years, the financial markets have become increasingly global. The Indian market has gained from foreign inflows through the investment of Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs). Following the implementation of reforms in the securities industry in the past few years, Indian stock markets have stood out in the world ranking. During the past few years India has emerged as one of the world’s fastest growing economies. The increasing interest of foreign players in the domestic broking industry is a testimony of the stock market’s growth. The Indian stock market has also received a thrust from rise in business transactions over the years, because of sharp drop in brokerage fees and transaction costs, launch of a slew of new products, and a robust regulatory environment. The importance of institutional investors’ particularly foreign investors is very much evident as one of the routine reasons offered by market analysts’ whenever the market rises, it is attributed to foreign investors' money and no wonder we see headlines like "FIIs Fuel Rally" etc., in the business press. This is not unusual with India alone as today’s most developed economies might have seen a similar trend in the past. Domestic institutional investors on the other hand being another important section of institutional investors are playing a vital role in the Indian stock market. These investors have emerged as important players in the Indian stock market and their activities are influencing the market. There are many instances where this section of investors has stabilized the market conditions on one hand whereas their moves took the market to destabilized position on the other hand. Therefore, both FIIs and DIIs have become the most important determinants in the functioning of the Indian stock market. Thus, increasing role of these institutional investors has brought both quantitative and qualitative developments in the stock market viz., expansion of securities business, increased depth and breadth of the market, and above all their dominant investment philosophy of emphasizing the fundamentals has rendered efficient pricing of the stocks. Hence, there is a need to examine how investments made by these two groups of institutional investors’ impact each other as well as stock market returns. This book is an attempt in that direction.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) and The Indian Stock Market An Economic Study SUMMARY Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) is used to denote an investor - mostly of the form of an institution or entity, which invests money in the financial markets of a country different from the one, where in the institution or entity was originally incorporated. FII investment is frequently referred to as hot money for the reason that it can leave the country at the same speed at which it comes in. In countries like India, statutory agencies like SEBI have prescribed norms to register FIIs and also to regulate such investments flowing in through FIIs. Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), norms includes maintenance of highly rated bonds (collateral) with security exchange. Foreign Investment refers to investments made by residents of a country in financial assets and production process of another country. After the opening up of the borders for capital movement these investments have grown in leaps and bounds. But it had varied effects across the countries. It can affect the factor productivity of the recipient country and can also affect the balance of payments.

This study investigates the cause and effects of foreign institutional investors' investment in Indian by finding the relationship between the foreign institutional investment and financial and real economy variables over the period from January 2007 to March 2014. Johansen's co-integration and vector error correction model have been applied to explore the long-run equilibrium relationship between FII flows and macroeconomic and financial variables. The analysis reveals that the FII's investment in India & variables under the study are co-integrated and, hence, a long-run equilibrium relationship exists between them. It is observed from the VECM that in the long-run, the relationship between the FII investment in India and wholesale price index, index of industrial production and exchange rate are positive. In the Granger causality sense, FII's investment in India causes WIP, Exchange Rate causes FII's investment and there is bidirectional causality exists between FII's investment and index of industrial production. While the findings show the evidence of causality from FII flow to wholesale price index in both long-run and short run but not other way around. Furthermore, it is observed from the findings that FII flow causes exchange rate in long run only. Exchange rate also decides the FII flows in short run.

Exploring the dynamic interaction between investment flows of mutual funds and foreign institutional investors (FIIs), based on post-crisis data, this study finds a strong negative relationship between the net investments by these two classes of institutional investors. Domestic mutual funds are found to determine their investment flows on the basis of their own previous investments, FII investments as well as market returns. The analysis suggests that the effect of stock market returns can be overshadowed by the effect of FII investments, in determining mutual fund flows. The study also finds evidence of net investments by FIIs having a causal influence on stock market returns even as it fails to identify any causal relation between domestic mutual funds' net investments and domestic stock returns. The conservative and contrarian pattern of mutual fund net investments in equity markets, as brought out by this study, indicates why equity mutual funds, as a group, have not provided a strong domestic alternative to foreign flows in the Indian stock market.

This paper analyzes the factors affecting portfolio equity flows into India using monthly data. Flows to India are small compared to other emerging markets, but seem to be relatively less volatile. They also seem to be quite resilient. The paper shows that portfolio flows are determined by both external and domestic factors. Among external factors, LIBOR and emerging market stock returns are important, while the primary domestic determinants are the lagged stock return and changes in credit ratings. In quantitative terms, both external and domestic factors are found to be about equally important.

Emerging market policy makers have been concerned about the financial stability implications of financial globalization. These concerns are focused on behavior under stressed conditions. Do tail events in the home country trigger off extreme responses by foreign investors – are foreign investors `fair weather friends'? In this, is there asymmetry between the response of foreign investors to very good versus very bad days? Do foreign investors have a major impact on domestic markets through large inflows or outflows – are they ‘big fish in a small pond’? Do extreme events in world markets induce extreme behavior by foreign investors, thus making them vectors of crisis transmission? We propose a modified event study methodology focused on tail events, which yields evidence on these questions. The results, for India, do not suggest that financial globalization has induced instability on the equity market.

The literature on the investment technology of foreign versus domestic investors has inconclusive results. This paper revisits the question, with a focus on decomposing portfolio performance into asset allocation and security selection. We document signicant differences in exposure to systematic asset pricing factors between foreign and domestic investors. A quasi-experimental strategy is introduced, for comparing security selection after controlling for diferences in asset allocation. Our results show that foreign investors in India do remarkably poorly at security selection.

Liberalization of economic policies in 1992 allowed foreign institutional investors investing in Indian capital markets. Though FII permitted to invest Indian stock markets in 1992, they actually started investing in India from 1997 and factual growth of FII investment came after 2002. Since then participation of FII in Indian stock market has continuously increased. They have emerged to be one of the largest investors and have acquired ownership of substantial proportion of non-promoter shares. They have also emerged to be dominant market players contributing very high proportion 41.73% of total stock exchange turnover of BSE and NSE combined. In Indian markets, FII are perceived to be very large and sophisticated investors with very high impact on stock market returns. Many investors and market participants tend to make their stock market strategy based on investment pattern of FII and base their stock market analysis on their perception about factors considered by FII in their investment decision. In this context this paper studies perception of market participants about major determinants of FII investment decision and extent to which investors are influenced by FII investment.
