  • Market Anomaly and Arbitrage Opportunity Around Ex-Dividend Day
    MARKET ANOMALY AND ARBITRAGE OPPORTUNITY AROUND EX-DIVIDEND DAY Authors: Islam Md Mohibul Jessie Cadilhac Supervisor: Anders Isaksson Student Umeå School of Business Spring semester 2010 Master thesis, one-year, 15 hp ABSTRACT Purpose of this study is to investigate market anomaly and possible arbitrage opportunity around ex-dividend day. We investigate most liquid common stock prices behavior around the world. Our sample data covers NYSE (Companies from S&P 100 index), London Stock Exchange (Companies from FTSE 100 index), Shanghai Stock Exchange (Companies from SSE180 index) and Tokyo Stock Exchange (Companies from TOPIX 100 index). We also investigate possible arbitrage opportunity based on abnormal return and short-term trading activities around ex-day. Based on raw price drop ratio, market adjusted price ratio, raw price drop ratio, market adjusted price drop ratio, market adjusted abnormal return and relative trading volume we developed six null-hypotheses and conclude this study. We used t-test to determine the mean differences between theoretical values and observed values and for median differences we used Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test. This study observed an equal drop of stock prices compared to dividend amount from New York and Shanghai Stock Exchange. We found no evidence of short-term trading activities around ex-date from both markets. In Tokyo Stock Exchange stock prices fall less than the dividend amount and individual dividend amount has higher taxation compare to capital gain. It provides strong evidence in favor of tax effect and we also recorded significant evidence of short-term trading activities before ex-dividend day. However, we documented mixed evidence from London Stock exchange.

  • Secondary Or Stock Market in India
    By Dr. Snigdha Mishra Assistant Professor The stock exchange is an organised and centralised market for the purchase and sale of industrial and financial securities of all descriptions, viz., Stocks, Shares, Debentures etc. It is a market for transactions in old securities. Practically, it is a place where the buyer of a security may find a seller who is ready to sell his holdings at a fair and reasonable price provided the security has been listed. According to the Securities Contracts (Regulations) Act of 1956, a stock exchange is „an association, organisation or body of individuals, whether incorporated or not, established for the purpose of assisting, regulating and controlling business in buying, selling and dealing in securities‟. The stock exchange was established by “East India company” in 18th century . In India it was established in 1850 with 22 stock brokers opposite to town hall Bombay .This stock exchange is known as oldest stock exchange of Asia. In 1975, it was renamed as Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). There are 23 stock exchanges in the India. Mumbai's (earlier known as Bombay), Bombay Stock Exchange is the largest, with over 6,000 stocks listed. The BSE accounts for over two thirds of the total trading volume in the country. Established in 1875, the exchange is also the oldest in Asia. Among the twenty- two Stock Exchanges recognised by the Government of India under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, it was the first one to be recognised and it is the only one that had the privilege of getting permanent recognition ab-initio.

  • Based on the SHSZ 300 Index

E-mail: [email protected] Received: February 9, 2015 Accepted: April 3, 2015 Online Published: April 20, 2015 doi:10.5539/ijbm.v10n5p182 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ijbm.v10n5p182 Abstract Index effect is an abnormal phenomenon in the security market. It is contrary to the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) and has been well-observed in mature markets. As an emerging market, China plays a more and more essential role in the world. In 2005, first composite index—the SHSZ 300 Index, which combines Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets was launched in China and got the chasing of investors since then. We attempt to find the performance of index effect in this newly index and we are interested in whether this so-called composite index is more perfect than the traditional single-market index in China or not. Furthermore, we will determine the stage of development of Chinese stock market with an international perspective. The result exhibits that the SHSZ 300 Index has a significant index effect around announcement date (AD) and relatively weak index effect on effective date (ED), corresponded with the price pressure hypothesis. Investors can make extra profit from this effect.

  • Stock Exchanges – the More the Merrier?
    Institutional EYE Stock exchanges – the more the merrier? It is hard to argue against SEBI’s intent to foster competition for stock exchanges and depositories. However, it is unclear if adding more stock exchanges will accomplish the desired outcome. While ownership regulations are being eased to lower entry barriers, SEBI needs to ensure this be done with stronger guardrails. Source: morguefile.com Competition is essential for continuous improvement to products and services, and to this extent, the intent of fostering greater competition for stock exchanges and depositories is in the right direction. Increasing use of technology, breakdown of trading platforms, co-location issues, have all laced the ‘equity’ exchanges. Commodity exchanges too have seen their fair share of scams. While the regulator can provide an enabling 05 February 2021 iiasadvisory.com 1 Institutional EYE environment, it cannot run the exchange. Therefore, the most enduring solution to customer delight is market-driven competition. Will having more stock exchanges and depositories achieve that objective? SEBI, in its January 2021 discussion paper on “Review of Ownership and Governance norms for facilitating new entrants to set up Stock Exchange / Depository” believes it will1. SEBI has argued that newer technologies of block chain and distributed ledgers will bring an innovative element to trading and price discovery, and perhaps that will. If nothing else, it will increase the technology intensity of trading from its current levels. Yet, India had over 20 stock exchanges in the past – most of them being local / territorial2. Although the Calcutta Stock Exchange continues (largely in name only), none of the other local / territorial exchanges survived against the size and liquidity of NSE and BSE (Exhibit 1).
