  • Gauging Your Investments with Performance Benchmarks

    Gauging Your Investments with Performance Benchmarks

    Gauging Your Investments with Performance Benchmarks One way to evaluate your investments objectively is to use industry-standard performance benchmarks. A benchmark is a market index or average that allows you to compare the performance of your stocks, bonds, or mutual funds against similar investments. Here are some of the most well-known and widely used investment benchmarks: Stock Benchmarks Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). The oldest and most widely quoted market indicator. It reflects the price-weighted average of 30 actively traded blue chip stocks, mostly industrials, that generally represent 15% to 20% of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) total market value. (In a price- weighted index, higher priced stocks carry more weight than lower priced issues.) The mix of individual stocks changes occasionally. Standard and Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500). A market value-weighted index that reflects changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks compared to the base period of 19411943. The S&P 500 consists mainly of New York Stock Exchange industrials, although it also includes transportation, utility, and financial stocks traded on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), as well as over-the-counter (OTC). National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (NASDAQ) Composite Index. A broader measure of market activity than the DJIA or the S&P 500, this market value-weighted index tracks the prices of all securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market. The NASDAQ specializes in emerging companies, such as technology, telecommunications, and even electronic commerce. Market values are computed by multiplying the most recent sale price of the stock with the total number of outstanding shares.

While large cap and especially mega cap equities have made an outsized contribution to equity returns, our analysis demonstrates evidence that growth stocks are now generating alpha. Small cap names, particularly those with sustainable growth, provide diversification from Nifty-style market concentration. Small cap growth is superior and the price for growth is reasonable.

  • A Primer on U.S. Stock Price Indices

    A Primer on U.S. Stock Price Indices

    A Primer on U.S. Stock Price Indices he measurement of the “average” price of common stocks is a matter of widespread interest. Investors want to know how “the Tmarket” is doing, and to be able to compare their returns with a meaningful benchmark. Money managers often have their compensation tied to performance, typically measured by comparing their results to a benchmark portfolio, so they and their clients are interested in the benchmark portfolio’s returns. And policymakers want to judge the potential for sudden adjustments in stock prices when differences from “fundamental value” emerge. The most widely quoted stock price index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, has been supplemented by other popular indices that are constructed in a different way and pose fewer problems as a measure of stock prices. At present, a number of stock price indices are reported by the few companies that we will consider in this paper. Each of these indices is intended to be a benchmark portfolio for a different segment of the universe of common stocks. This paper discusses some of the issues in constructing and interpreting stock price indices. It focuses on the most widely used indices: the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Stan- dard & Poor’s 500, the Russell 2000, the NASDAQ Composite, and the Wilshire 5000. The first section of this study addresses issues of construction and interpretation of stock price indices. The second section compares the movements of the five indices in the last two decades and investigates the Peter Fortune relationship between the returns on the reported indices and the return on “the market.” Our results suggest that the Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow 30) The author is a Senior Economist and has inherent problems in its construction.

    The Journal of Applied Business Research – September/October 2017 Volume 33, Number 5 The Effect Of Corporate Governance On Unfaithful Disclosure Designation And Unfaithful Disclosure Penalty Points Bo Young Moon, Dankook University, South Korea Soo Yeon Park, Korea University, South Korea ABSTRACT This paper investigates the relation between Unfaithful Disclosure Corporations (“UDC”) and corporate governance using listed firm (KOSPI and KOSDAQ) data in Korea. Prior literature reports that corporate governance has an impact on the level of disclosure and the quality of disclosure provided by companies. However, it is hard to find the studies about corporate governance and UDC at the term of disclosure quality. Compare to some financially advanced countries, Korea established corporate governance in a relatively short period of time; hence concerns have been raised the corporate governance have not played effective role to monitor management. We question how corporate governance affects companies’ unfaithful disclosure by using several corporate governance proxy variables and UDC data which is unique system in Korea. From the empirical tests, we find a negative association between the proportion of outside directors, an indicator of the board’s independence, and UDC designation, among companies listed on both KOSPI and KOSDAQ. On the other hand, there is a significant positive association between the proportion of outside directors and UDCs’ imposed and accumulated penalty points among KOSDAQ-listed companies. This implies that outside director system effectively play a monitoring role however due to different natures of members included in outside directors, the system often fails to control regarding based reasons for penalty points imposition. In addition, we find the percentage of foreign equity ownership showed statistically significant positive association with UDC designation and a significant positive association with the imposed and accumulated penalty points among KOSPI-listed companies.

  • Does the Market React Differently to Chaebol Firms?

    Does the Market React Differently to Chaebol Firms?

    The Journal of Applied Business Research – September/October 2014 Volume 30, Number 5 Does The Market React Differently To Chaebol Firms? Heejin Park, Hanyang University, South Korea Jinsoo Kim, Hanyang University, South Korea Mihye Ha, Hanyang University, South Korea Sambock Park, Hanyang University, South Korea ABSTRACT Based on a sample of Korean firms listed on the KOSPI and KOSDAQ from 2001 to 2011, we examined whether the affiliation of a firm with a Chaebol group affects the sensitivity of stock prices to earnings surprises. We found that the market response to positive (negative) earnings surprises is more positive (negative) for Chaebol firms than for non-Chaebol firms. In addition, we investigated how intra-group transactions affect the ERCs of Chaebol firms by comparing with those of non-Chaebol firms. Our results show that the intra-group transactions of Chaebol firms are positively related to ERCs under both positive and negative earnings surprises. However, we did not find the same results from the analyses of non-Chaebol firms. Keywords: Chaebol Firms; Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC); Earnings Surprises; KOSPI; KOSDAQ 1. INTRODUCTION he aim of this study is to examine how differently the market reacts to earnings surprises of Chaebol firms compared to those of non-Chaebol firms. Although there is no official definition of Chaebol, T firms are perceived as Chaebol if they consist of a large group and operate in many different industries, maintain substantial business ties with other firms in their group, and are controlled by the largest shareholder as a whole. The definition used to identify Chaebol firms is that of a large business group established by the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) and a group of companies of which more than 30% of the shares are owned by the group’s controlling shareholders and its affiliated companies.

    Why Switzerland?

    Why Switzerland? Marwan Naja, AS Investment Management January, 2010 I. Executive Summary Swiss Equities Have Outperformed: Here is a fact you probably did not know: The Swiss equity market has arguably been the best performing developed world market over the past 20, 10, 5 and 2 years. The SPI Index, which incorporates over 200 Swiss stocks, is the best performing index in Swiss Franc (“CHF”), US Dollars (“USD”), Euro (“EUR”) and British Pounds (“GBP”) over the past 20 years1,10 years, 5 years, and 2 years when compared to similar broad-based total return indices in the United States (S&P 500 Total Return), the United Kingdom (FTSE 350 Total Return), Germany (CDAX), France (SBF 120 Total Return) and Japan (TOPIX Total Return)2. For most of these periods the magnitude of the outperformance is significant. Furthermore, the Swiss market has exhibited attractive risk characteristics including lower volatility than comparable markets. Figure 1: SPI 20 Year Performance (red) Compared to Major Developed Indices in CHF3 1 The 20 year comparable excludes the EUR which has not existed for that duration and the French SBF 120 TR which was established in 1990 and has underperformed the SPI over the 19 year period. 2 The Swiss market is the best performer in our local currency comparison (stripping out the foreign exchange effects) over 20 years and marginally trails the FTSE 350 for the 10 year, 5 year and 2 year comparisons. 3 Source of all graphs is Bloomberg unless otherwise indicated.
