SOCIAL SCIENCES INSTITUTE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE BOSNIAN STOCK MARKET Comparing Bosnian, Croatian, Macedonian and German stock markets; focusing on size, diversity, volume, liquidity, risk and return Master Thesis Mirza Avdagić Student No: 1450Y42104 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Özgür Çengel Istanbul, 2017 Acknowledgment By most accounts my life should have been over before it even began. Before I was Mirza I was a small number besides a percentage sign. I came into this world three months early and the doctor told my mother that in all likelihood I would probably make a hasty exit as well. He was wrong. I suppose it was that same attitude, the one that made me over eager to get this party started that also kept fighting in those early, intense moments of my life. I've been fighting ever since. After two years in United World College (UWC) in Mostar and four years in the US, living and studying in Turkey was very challenging. Different culture and new language presented another milestone I had to achieve in my life. Writing the dissertation was not an easy task. Having a full time job in Bahrain and working on the thesis simultaneously was in times very challenging but towards the end very enjoyable. Most importantly, I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Özgür Çengel, who cared so much about my work, and who always responded to my questions and queries so promptly. This journey would be completely different and more challenging without his support and guidance. I just want you to know that I really appreciate everything you have done for me. Thank you! 3 Abstract The study seeks to evaluate the attractiveness of Bosnian stock markets and determine whether consolidation of SASE and BLSE would increase the overall attractiveness of the Bosnian stock market. The current studies on capital markets of Bosnia and Herzegovina are very limited. Most studies focus on comparing the performance of Bosnian stock markets to large international stock markets from the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom. Research studies that focus on Bosnian stock markets are shallow and focus on the functionality of the stock exchanges in general. The aim of this study is to assess the attractiveness of stock markets in Bosnia and find whether consolidating Sarajevo and Banja Luka stock exchanges would make the Bosnian stock market more attractive. Knowing that investors have the opportunity to invest in more than one market, it is important to have a fair understanding of the assessment criteria for the stock market. Listing standards, fees and regulatory environment are important factors to consider when selecting a stock exchange. However, as important, if not more so, are factors such as size, diversity, volume, liquidity, risk and return (or together “Attractiveness Factors”). Stock market’s Attractiveness Factors are essential part in determining company’s valuation and play an important role in investors’ decision-making process. To determine the attractiveness, using the stock market Attractiveness Factors (i.e. size, diversity, volume, liquidity, risk and return), the study compares Bosnian stock markets with Croatian, German and Macedonian (or the “Focus Markets”). The study analyzes the composition of the Focus Markets and their main indexes providing the support for Sarajevo and Banja Luka stock exchange consolidation. The outcome of the study contributes to the understanding of Bosnian capital market and stock exchange Attractiveness Factors. Moreover, it emphasizes on the benefits of larger stock markets, ultimately providing support for stock market consolidation of the small exchanges. Key Words: Stock Market, SASE, BLSE, ZSE, FSE, MSE, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Germany, Consolidation. 4 Özet Çalisma Bosna Hersek borsasının cazipligini ve Saraybosna ve Banja Luka borsalarının birleşmesi durumunda Bosna borsasının daha çekici olabilirliği sorunu değerlendirmektedir. Borsa seçiminde listeleme standardı, ücretler ve mevzuat önemli faktörlerdir. Ancak, bunlar kadar önemli diğer faktörler de boyut, çesitlilik, hacim, likitide, risk ve geri dönüş (veya birlikte “Caziplik Faktorleri”). Caziplik Faktorleri şirket değerlendirmesinin temel parçasıdır ve yatırımcının karar verme sürecinde önemli rol oynamaktadir. Borsanın ne kadar cazip oluduğuna karar vermek icin, Caziplik Faktorunu kullanarak, çalişma Bosna Hersek Borsasını Hırvatistan (“ZTE”), Almanya (“FSE”) ve Makedonya (“MES) (veya “Odak Marketler”) ile karşılaştırmaktadır. Çalışma Odak Marketlerin yapısını ve ana indekslerini kullanarak Bosna Hersek borsasını analiz etmektedir.

With respect to the term “regulated stock exchange” as widely used throughout the guidelines of our Indices, Solactive has decided to apply following definition: A Regulated Stock Exchange must – to be approved by Solactive for the purpose calculation of its indices - fulfil a set of criteria to enable foreign investors to trade listed shares without undue restrictions. Solactive will regularly review and update a list of eligible Regulated Stock Exchanges which at least 1) are Regulated Markets comparable to the definition in Art. 4(1) 21 of Directive 2014/65/EU, except Title III thereof; and 2) provide for an investor registration procedure, if any, not unduly restricting foreign investors. Other factors taken into account are the limits on foreign ownership, if any, imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Regulated Stock Exchange is located and other factors related to market accessibility and investability. Using above definition, Solactive has evaluated the global stock exchanges and decided to include the following in its List of Approved Regulated Stock Exchanges. This List will henceforth be used for calculating all of Solactive’s equity indices and will be reviewed and updated, if necessary, at least annually.
