PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

PORTFOLIO:

A portfolio is a collection of securities since it is really desirable to invest the entire funds of an individual or an institution or a single security, it is essential that every security be viewed in a portfolio context. Thus it seems logical that the expected return of the portfolio. Portfolio analysis considers the determine of future risk and return in holding various blends of individual securities.

Portfolio expected return is a weighted average of the expected return of the individual securities but portfolio variance, in short contrast, can be something reduced portfolio risk is because risk depends greatly on the co-variance among returns of individual securities. Portfolios, which are combination of securities, may or may not take on the aggregate characteristics of their individual parts.

Since portfolio expected return is a weighted average of the expected return of its securities, the contribution of each security the portfolios expected returns depends on its expected returns and its proportionate share of the initial portfolios market value. It follows that an investor who simply wants the greatest possible expected return should hold one security, the one which is considered to have a greatest expected return. Very few investors do this, and very few investment advisors would counsel such and extreme policy instead, investors should diversify, meaning that their portfolio should include More than one security.

OBJECTIVES OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT:

The main objective of investment portfolio management is to maximize the returns from the investment and to minimize the risk involved. Moreover, risk in price or inflation erodes the values of money and hence investment must provide a protection against inflation.

Secondary objectives:

Regular return. Stable income. Appreciation of capital. More liquidity. Safety of investment. Tax benefits.

Portfolio management services helps investors to make a wise choice between alternative investment with pit any post trading hassles this service renders optimum returns to the investors by proper selection of continuous changes of one plan to another plane with in the same scheme, any portfolio management must specify the objectives like maximum returns, and risk capital appreciation, safety etc in their offer.

Return From the angle of securities can be fixed income securities such as:
a) Debenture: Partly convertibles and non-convertibles debentures debt with tradable Warrants. b) Preference shares c) Government securities and bonds d) Other debt instruments e) Variable income securities:   Equity shares Money market securities like treasury bills commercial papers etc.

A portfolio manager has to decide up on the mix of securities on the basis of contrast with the client and objectives of portfolio.

NEED FOR PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT:

Portfolio management is a process encompassing many activities of investment in assets and securities. It is a dynamic and flexible concept and involves regular and systematic analysis, judgment and action. The objective of this service is to help the unknown and investors with the expertise of professionals in investment portfolio management. It involves construction of a portfolio based upon the investors objectives, constraints, preferences for risk and returns and tax liability. The portfolio is reviewed and adjusted from time to time in tune with the market conditions. The evaluation of portfolio is to be done in terms of targets set for risk and returns. The changes in the portfolio are to be effected to meet the changing condition. Portfolio construction refers to the allocation of surplus funds in hand among a variety of financial assets open for investment. Portfolio theory concerns itself with the principles governing such allocation. The modern view of investment is oriented more go towards the assemble of proper combination of individual securities to form investment portfolio. A combination of securities held together will give a beneficial result if they grouped in a manner to secure higher returns after taking into consideration the risk elements. The modern theory is the view that by diversification risk can be reduced. Diversification can be made by the investor either by having a large number of shares of companies in different regions, in different industries or those producing different types of product lines. Modern theory believes in the perspective of combination of securities under constraints of risk and returns.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT PROCESS:

Investment management is a complex activity which may be broken down into the following steps: Specification of investment objectives and constraints: The typical objectives sought by investors are currents income, capital appreciation, and safety of principle. The relative importance of these objectives should be specified further the constraints arising from liquidity, time horizon, tax and special circumstances must be identified. Choice of the Asset mix: The most important decision in portfolio management is the asset mix decision very broadly; this is concerned with the proportion of stock (equity shares and units/ shares of equity oriented mutual funds) and bonds in the portfolio. The appropriate stock-bond mix depends mainly on the risk tolerance and investment horizon of the investor.

ELEMENTS OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT:

Portfolio management is on-going process involving the following basic tasks:

   

Identification of the investors objectives, constraints and preferences. Strategies are to be developed and implemented in tune with investment policy formulated. Review and monitoring of the performance of the portfolio. Finally the evaluation of the portfolio.

Risk:

Risk is uncertainty of the income / capital appreciations or loss or both. All investments are risky. The higher the risk taken, the higher is the return. But proper management of risk involves the rights choices of investments whose risks are compensating.

The total risks of two companies may be different and even lower than the risk of a group of two companies if their companies are offset by each other.

The two major types of risks are:   Systematic or market related risk. Unsystematic or company related risks.

Systematic risks Systematic risks affected from the entire market are (the problems, raw material availability, tax policy or government policy, inflation risk, interest risk and financial risk). It is managed by the use of Beta of different company shares. Unsystematic risks Unsystematic risks are mismanagement, increasing inventory, wrong financial policy, defective marketing etc. this is diversifiable or avoidable because it is possible to eliminate or diversify away this components of risks to a considerable extents by investing in a large portfolio of securities. The unsystematic risk stems from inefficiency magnitude of those factors different from one company to another. RETURNS ON PORTFOLIO: Each security in a portfolio contributes returns in the proportion of its investments in security. Thus the portfolio expected return is the weighted average of the expected return, from each of the securities, with weights representing the proportions share of the security in the total investment. Why does an investor have so many securities in his portfolio? If the security ABC gives the maximum return why not he invests in that security all his funds and thus maximize return? The answer to this questions lie in the investors perception of risk attached to investments, his objectives of income, safety, appreciation, liquidity and hedge against loss of value of money etc. this pattern of investment in different asset categories, types of investment, etc, would all be described under the caption of diversification, which aims at the reduction or even elimination of non-systematic risks and achieve the specific objectives of investors. RISK ON PORTFOLIO: The expected returns from individual securities carry some degree of risk. Risk on the portfolio is different from the risk on individual securities. The risk is reflected in the variability of the returns from zero to infinity. Risk of the individual assets or a portfolio is measured by the variance of its returns. The expected return depends on the probability of the returns and their weighted contribution to the risk of the portfolio.

These are two measures of risk in this context one is the absolute deviation and other standard deviation. Most investors invest in a portfolio of assets, because as to spread risk by not putting all eggs in one basket. Hence, what really matters to them is not the risk and return of stocks in isolation, but the risk and return of the portfolio as a whole. Risk is mainly reduced by Diversification.

RISK RETURN ANALYSIS; All investment has some risk. Investment in shares of companies has its own risk or uncertainty; these risks arise out of variability of yields and uncertainty of appreciation or depreciation of share prices, losses of liquidity etc. The risk over time can be represented by the variance of the returns. While the return over time is capital appreciation plus payout, divided by the purchase price of the share.

Normally, the higher the risk that the investor takes, the higher is the return. There is, how ever, a risk less return on capital of about 12% which is the bank rate charged by the R.B.I or long term, yielded on government securities at around 13% to 14%. This risk less return refers to lack of variability of return and no uncertainty in the repayment or capital. But other risks such as loss of liquidity due to parting with money etc. may

however remain, but are rewarded by the total return on the capital. Risk-return is subject to variation and the objectives of the portfolio manager are to reduce that variability and thus reduce the risky by choosing an appropriate portfolio. Traditional approach advocates that one security holds the better, it is according to the modern approach diversification should not be quantity that should be related to the quality of scripts which leads to quality of portfolio. Experience has shown that beyond the certain securities by adding more securities expensive. Simple diversification reduces; An assets total risk can be divided into systematic plus unsystematic risk, as shown below: Systematic Risk (Undiversifiable Risk) + Unsystematic Risk (Diversifiable Risk) = Total Risk = Var (r). Unsystematic risk is that portion of the risk that is unique to the firm (for example, risk due to strike and management errors). Unsystematic risk can be reduced to zero by simple diversification. Simple diversification is the random selection of securities that are to be added to a portfolio. As the number of randomly selected added to a portfolio is increased, the level of unsystematic risk approaches zero. However market related systematic risk cannot be reduced by simple diversification. This risk is common to all securities.

According to SEBI

rules it is mandatory for portfolio

managers to get them selfs registered. Registered merchant bankers can acts as portfolio managers Investors must look forward, for qualification and performance and ability and research base of the portfolio managers. Techniques of portfolio management: As of now the under noted techniques of portfolio management: are in vogue in our country 1. Equity portfolio: Is influenced by internal and external factors the internal factors effect the inner working of the companys growth plans are analyzed with referenced to balance sheet, profit & loss a/c of the company. Among the external factor are changes in the government polices, trade cycles political stability etc. 2. Equity stock analysis: Under this method the probable future value of a share of a company is determined it can be done by ratios of earning per share of the company and price earning ratio. EPS = PAT/ NO. Of Equity shares. Price Earning Ratio = MPS/ EPS. One can estimate trend of earning by Eps, which reflects trends of earning quality of company, dividend policy, and quality of management. Price earning ratio indicate a confidence of market about the company future, a high rating is preferable

The following points must be considered by portfolio managers while analyzing the securities: 1. Nature of the Industry and its Product: Long term trends of industries, competition with in, and out side the industry, Technical changes, labor relations, sensitivity, to Trade cycle.

2. Industrial analysis of prospective earnings cash flows, working capital, dividends, etc. 3. Ratio analysis: Ratio such as Debt Equity Ratio, current ratio, net worth, profit earnings ratio, return on Investment are worked out to decide the portfolio. The wise principle of portfolio management suggests that Buy when the market is low or BEARISH, and sell when the market is rising or BULLISH. Stock market operation can be analyzed by:

1. Fundamental Approach 2. Technical Approach Fundamental approach: This approach will be worked Based on intrinsic value of shares Technical approach: This approach will be worked on Dowjones theory, Random walk theory, etc. Prices are based upon demand and supply of the market. I. Traditional approach assumes that II. Objectives are maximization of wealth and minimization of risk. III. Diversification reduces risk and volatility. IV. Variable returns, high illiquidity, etc. Capital assets pricing approach (CAPM) it pays more weight age, to risk or portfolio diversification of portfolio.

Diversification of portfolio reduces risk but it should be based on certain assessment such as: Trend analysis based on past share prices.

Valuation of intrinsic value of company (trend-market moves are known for their uncertainties they are compared to be high, and low prompts of wave market trends are constituted by these waves it is a pattern of movement based on past.).

The following rules must be studied while cautions portfolio manager before decide to invest their funds in portfolios. 1) Compile the financials of the companies in the immediate past 3 years such as turn over, gross profit, net profit before tax, compare the profit earning of company with that of the industry average nature of product manufacture service render and it future demand, know about the promoters and their back ground, dividend track record, bonus shares in the past 3 to 5 years, reflects companys commitment to share holders the relevant information can be accessed from the RDC ( registrant of companies) published financial results financed quarters, journals and ledgers. 2) Watch out the highs and lows of the scripts for the past 2 to 3 years and their timing cyclical scripts have a tendency to repeat their performance, this hypothesis can be true of all other financial, 3) The higher the trading volume higher is liquidity and still higher the chance of speculation, it is futile to invest in such shares whos daily movements cannot be kept track, if you want to reap rich returns keep investment over along horizon and it will offset the wild intra day trading fluctuations, the minor movement of scripts may be ignored, we must remember that share market moves in phases and the span of each phase is 6 months to 5 years. a) Long term of the market should be the guiding factor to enable you to invest and quit. The market is now bullish and the trend is likely to continue for some more time.

b) UN tradable shares must find a last place in portfolio apart from return, even capital invested is eroded with no way of exit with no way of exit with inside.

How at all one should avoid such scripts in future? 1) Never invest on the basis of an insider trader tip in a company which is not sound (insider trader is person who gives tip for trading in securities based on prices sensitive up price sensitive un published information relating to such security). 2) Never invest in the so called promoter quota of lesser known company. 3) Never invest in a company about which you do not have appropriate knowledge. 4) Never at all invest in a company which doesnt have a stringent financial record your portfolio should not a stagnate. 5) Shuffle the portfolio and replace the slow moving sector with active ones, investors were shatter when the technology, media, software, stops have taken a down slight. 6) Never fall to the magic of the scripts dont confine to the blue chip companys look out for other portfolio that ensure regular dividends. 7) In the same way never react to sudden raise or fall in stock market index such fluctuation is movement minor corrections in stock market held in consolidation of market their by reading out a weak player often taste on wait for the dust and dim to settle to make your move. Port Folio Management And Diversification: Combinations of securities that have high risk and return features make up a portfolio. Portfolios may or may not take on the aggregate characteristics of individual part, portfolio analysis takes various components of risk and return for each industry and consider the effort of combined security.

Portfolio selection involves choosing the best portfolio to suit the risk return preferences of portfolio investor management of portfolio is a dynamic activity of evaluating and revising the portfolio in terms of portfolios objectives. It is widely accepted that returns from individual scripts carry certain rate of risk. Portfolio held in spreading the risk in many securities then the risk is reduced. The basic principle is that of a portfolio holds several assets or securities. It may include in cash also, even if one goes bad the other will provide protection from the loss even cash is subject to inflation the diversification can be either vertical or horizontal the vertical diversification portfolio can have script of different companys with in the same industry. In horizontal diversification one can have different scripts chosen from different industries.

BULLS EYE PMS Bulls Eye strategy gives better returns. Bulls Eye PMS is meant for investors who want to take moderate risk and generate healthy returns from the medium term movements in the Equity markets. Bulls Eye is about identifying the right stocks, picking and exiting at the right times and then continuing the cycle. Identifying the right stocks: Our strong, proven Fundamental Analysis skill allows us to understand the profile and the performance of various companies. This allows us to pick the wheat from the chaff. Determining entry and Exit points: After identifying the companies for investment, we resort to technical analysis, read the market condition and pick up the stocks in opportune sectors. We believe that apart from the right entry levels, selling at the right time is equally important. Therefore, we employ similar strategy while exiting the stock. And this completes our hunt for good returns. Moderate risk is the key philosophy: We take moderate risk while making any investment. Duration of the investment is one to six month. So even while a stock may look fundamentally strong, the age of our investment in it may depend on the reality based on technical research along with the prevailing market conditions (markets are overheated, over expectations build-up etc). Bulls Eye is managed by Mr. Manish Sonthalia. Mr. Sonthalia has a total experience of 15 years in the markets and equity research. He is a qualified A.C.A, C.W.A, C.S & M.B.A (Finance).
