  • Franklin Templeton Equity Update, April 3, 2020
    1 Franklin Templeton Equity Update 03 April 2020 Recent Equity Market Volatility – The 2020 meltdown We live in interesting times. Globalization has unleashed many opportunities for the economies world over but has also presented formidable challenges. The accelerated transition of COVID-19 virus from being a regional epidemic to a global pandemic is a glaring example of brutal side effects of an integrated world. The stronghold of today’s global economic interdependence can be gauged by the fact that the adverse effects of global events on an economy can far exceed the domestic positives. China, the original epicentre for COVID-19, took a series of draconian lockdown measures to contain the virus. This prolonged lockdown has disrupted the global supply chain. As the epidemic gained momentum and engulfed most parts of the world, the global economy now faces aggregate demand shock as well as supply disruptions. The risks posed by the COVID -19 pandemic are being priced aggressively across asset classes including equity. Indian equity markets, as measured by Nifty have corrected by 29% YTD, and over 30% from the peak achieved on January 13, 2020. Crude price has slumped to sub-25 USD/bbl triggered by a weakening global demand and a supply glut triggered by a standoff among large oil exporters.

  • Testing for Predictive Ability of Conventional and Shariah Indices of Selected Gulf Countries and Economic Regions Using Neural Network Modelling
    Testing for Predictive ability of conventional and Shariah indices of selected Gulf Countries and Economic Regions Using Neural Network Modelling Dr. Taufeeque Ahmad Siddiqui1 & Yusuf Abdullah2 Abstract The study employs Islamic indices along with mainstream indices and macroeconomic variables. The Indices include the Islamic and traditional Indices of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE, GCC, BRIC’s and the Euro Area. Firstly the correlations of returns between the six pairs of traditional and Shariah indices are calculated to assess their movement with respect to each other. Secondly the macroeconomic variables i.e. Price of Brent Crude and respective exchange rate of the Countries’ currency with the USD are used to predict the stock prices of the traditional and Shariah indices. The results are based on the KTB MLP structure, MSE and relative error. For prediction of Stock indices of GCC, BRIC and Euro Area Elman network has been used. It is found that the macroeconomic variables used in forecasting model have been more accurate in predicting Shariah stock Indices for Saudi Arabia, Oman and UAE and the economic regions. Keywords: Islamic Indices, Macroeconomic variables, Artificial neural networks. Introduction The recent years have witnessed a tremendous upsurge in the Islamic fi nancial industry, especially in the dominantly Muslim countries in Middle East and Southeast Asia. The investments in Islamic Finance has been reinforced in the wake of the 2008–2009 global fi nancial crisis. The value of the total Islamic fi nancial assets under management was estimated at US$1.6 trillion at the end of 2012 and US$1.8 trillion at the end of 2013, and is expected to be US$2.1 trillion at the end of 2014.

  • Performance Overview of Indian Hedge Fund Industry
    Performance Overview of Indian Hedge Fund Industry Aditya Agarwal, Dr. Utkarsh Goel, Dr. Shailendra Kumar Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad, India Abstract This paper evaluates the performance of Indian hedge funds and hedge funds of North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia ex Japan, Japan and Global database for a period of 2000-2019. This paper also compares the performance of given hedge fund indexes with the major stock indexes of that region. The performance criteria have been annualized returns, annualized standard deviation and Sharpe ratio for different periods. The research shows that only Indian hedge funds have been lagging behind the equity market of the country, which raises question on the need of Indian hedge funds and the hefty fees charged by these funds. Fund level taxation is one of the biggest hindrances in the growth of Indian hedge funds industry, which is a big disadvantage to them as compared to mutual funds and equities in India. Keywords: Hedge Funds, India, Investment, Financial Market, Performance 1. Introduction Hedge funds are alternative investment funds that pools funds and uses that funds to employ numerous different strategies to earn market excess return, or alpha, for their investors.
