INTRODUCTION PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Administration of a pool of investments vehicles, selected on the basis of clearly articulated investment objectives (such as asset protection, capital enhancement, income), by an advisor or broker on behalf of a client. A Portfolio is a collection of assets. The assets may be physical or financial like shares, Bonds, Debentures, Preference Shares etc. The individual investor or a fund manager would not like to put all his money in the shares of one company that would amount to great risk. He would therefore; follow the age old maxim one should not all the eggs into one basket. By doing so, he can achieve objective to maximize portfolio return and at the same time minimizing the portfolio risk by diversification. Portfolio management is the management of various financial assets which comprise the portfolio. Portfolio management is a decision-support system that is designed with a view to meet the multi-faced needs of investors. Determining the mix of assets to hold in a portfolio is referred to as portfolio management. A fundamental aspect of portfolio management is choosing assets which are consistent with the portfolio holder's investment objectives and risk tolerance. The ultimate goal of portfolio management is to achieve the optimum return for a given level of risk. Investors must balance risk and performance in making portfolio management decisions. Portfolio management strategies may be either active or passive. An investor who prefers passive portfolio management will likely choose to invest in low cost index funds with the goal of mirroring the market's performance. An investor who prefers active portfolio management will choose managed funds which have the potential to outperform the market. Investors are generally charged higher initial fees and annual management fees for active portfolio management.

NEED FOR THE STUDY :

1) To evaluate every transaction.` Whenever a security is brought or sold, we can attempt to assets whether the decision was correct and profitable. 2) To evaluate the performance of a specific security in the portfolio to determine whether it has been worthwhile to include it in our portfolio. 3) To evaluate the performance of portfolio as a whole during the period without examining the performance of individual securities within the portfolio.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

To study the investment pattern and its related risks & returns. To find out optimal portfolio, which give optimal return at the minimize risk to the investor. To see whether the portfolio risk is less than individual risk on whose basis the portfolios are constituted. To see whether the selected portfolios is yielding a satisfactory and constant return to the investor. To understand, analyze and select the best portfolio.

SCOPE OF STUDY:
This study covers the Markowitz model. The study covers the calculations of correlations between the different securities in order to find out at what percentage funds should be invested among the companies in the portfolio also the study include the calculation of individual standard deviation of securities and ends at the calculation of weights of individual securities involved in the portfolio. These percentage help in allocating the funds available for investment based on risky portfolios. In the present study cover through examination of procedures of decision

making portfolio management environment, selection of securities Weights of different securities and Earning of Portfolio NIACL.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The data collection methods include both the primary and secondary collection methods. PRIMARY COLLECTION METHODS: This method includes the data collection from the personal discussion with the authorized clerks and members of the exchange SECONDARY COLLECTION METHODS: The secondary collection of methods includes the lectures of the superintend of the department of market operations and so on.., also the data collected from the news, magazines of the ISE and different books issues of the study.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

1. Constructions of portfolio is two companies based on Markowitz model 2. Very few and randomly selected scripts / companies are analyzed from BKF listings. 3. Data collection was strictly confined to secondary source. No primary data is associated with the project. 4. Detailed study of the topic was not possible due to limited size of the project. 5.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is a stock exchange located on Dalal Street, Mumbai and is the oldest stock exchange in Asia. The equity market capitalization of the companies listed on the BSE was US$1.63 trillion as of December 2010, making it the 4th largest stock exchange in Asia and the 8th largest in the world. The BSE has the largest number of listed companies in the world. It has also been cited as one of the world's best performing stock market. As of December 2010, there are over 5,034 listed Indian companies and over 7700 scrips on the stock exchange, the Bombay Stock Exchange has a significant trading volume. The BSE SENSEX , also called the "BSE 30", is a widely used market index in India and Asia. Though many other exchanges exist, BSE and the National Stock Exchange of India account for the majority of the equity trading in India.

History:

The Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers house the Bombay Stock Exchange since 1980. The Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest exchange in Asia. It traces its history to the 1850s, when 4 Gujarati and 1 Parsi stockbroker would gather under banyan trees in front of Mumbai's Town Hall. The location of these meetings changed many times, as the number of brokers constantly increased. The group eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and in 1875 became an official organization known as 'The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association'. In 1956, the BSE became the first stock exchange to be recognized by the Indian Government under the Securities Contracts Regulation Act. The Bombay Stock Exchange developed the BSE Sensex in 1986, giving the BSE a means to measure overall performance of the exchange. In 2000 the BSE used this index to open its derivatives market, trading Sensex futures contracts. The development of Sensex options along with equity derivatives followed in 2001 and 2002, expanding the BSE's trading platform. Historically an open outcry floor trading exchange, the Bombay Stock Exchange switched to an electronic trading system in 1995. It took the exchange only fifty days to make this transition. This automated, screen-based trading platform called BSE On-line trading (BOLT) currently has a capacity of 8 million orders per day. The BSE has also introduced the world's first centralized exchange-based internet trading system, BSEWEBx.co.in to enable investors anywhere in the world to trade on the BSE platform. The BSE is currently housed in Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers at Dalal Street, Fort area.

Bombay Stock Exchange:

The launch of SENSEX in 1986 was later followed up in January 1989 by introduction of BSE National Index. It comprised 100 stocks listed at five major stock exchanges in India - Mumbai, Calcutta, Delhi, Ahmadabad and Madras. The BSE National Index was renamed BSE-100 Index from October 14, 1996 and since then, it is being calculated taking into consideration only the prices of stocks listed at BSE. BSE launched the dollar-linked version of BSE-100 index on May 22, 2006. BSE launched two new index series on 27 May 1994: The 'BSE-200' and the 'DOLLEX-200'. BSE-500 Index and 5 sectoral indices were launched in 1999. In 2001, BSE launched BSE-PSU Index, DOLLEX-30 and the country's first free-float based index - the BSE Index. Over the years, BSE shifted all its indices to the free-float methodology (except BSE-PSU index). BSE disseminates information on the Price-Earnings Ratio, the Price to Book Value Ratio and the Dividend Yield Percentage on day-to-day basis of all its major indices. The values of all BSE indices are updated on real time basis during market hours and displayed through the BOLT system, BSE website and news wire agencies. All BSE Indices are reviewed periodically by the BSE Index Committee. This Committee which comprises eminent independent finance professionals frames the broad policy guidelines for the development

. and maintenance of all BSE indices. The BSE Index Cell carries out the day-to-day maintenance of all indices and conducts research on development of new indices.

Further, if share are in the name of X first and Y second and the account is in the name of Y first and X second, then these shares cannot be dematerialized in this accounts. The dematerialized you can pledge your share and the money can be utilized to finance your personal needs, or you can make further investment. Only those holding that are registered in the name of the accountant holder can be dematerialized.

REMATERIALIZATION:

. Rematerialization is the process by which a client can get his electronic holding convertible into physical certificates. The client has to submit the dematerialization request to the DP with whom he has an account. The DP enters the request in its system which blocks the clients holding to that extent automatically. The DP releases the request to NSDL and sends the request from to the Issuer/R&T Agent. The Issuer/R&T agent then prints the certificates, dispatching the same to the client and simultaneously electronically confirms the acceptance of the request to NSDL. There after, the clients blocked balances are debited.

TRADES
When an investor sells in a market trade i.e., through a broker, the flow of securities happen as follows. This statement of the trade happens on the investor giving his DP an instruction to debit his account and credit the broker account for the quantity of shares and the broker is turn giving his DP the instruction of delivering the share to the clearing corporation. Thus, on the respective DPs executive the instruction the transfer of securities takes place. Incase of market purchase, the securities come into the broker account from the clearing corporation on payout, then the broker provides instructions to his DP to transfer

. stocks into the investor account. If the investor has not availed of automatic credit facility, the he should provide a receipt instruction to his DP. Incase of an off-market trade, securities move from the seller to the buyer on the execution of respective instruction by the respective DPs. Thus the flow of securities essentially depends upon the parties to the trade providing the relevant instructions to the respective DPs at the appropriate time.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

Portfolio Management
Portfolio management is all about strengths, weaknesses, opportunity, threats in the choice of debt vs. equity, domestic vs. international vs. growth vs. safety, and numerous other trades-offs encountered in the attempt to maximize return at a given appetite for risk. A portfolio is a collection of securities. Since it is rarely desirable to invest the entire funds of an individual or an institution in a single security, it is essential that every security be view in portfolio context. Thus, it seems logical that the expected return on a portfolio should depend on the expected return of each of the security contained in the portfolio.

. Portfolio analysis considers the determination of future risk and return in holding various blends of individual securities. Portfolio expected return is a weighted average of the expected return of individual securities but portfolio variance, in short contrast, can be something less than a weighted average of a security variance. As a result, an investor can sometimes reduce portfolio risk by adding security will greater individual risk than any other security in the portfolio. This is because risk depends greatly on the covariance among returns of individual securities. Portfolios, which are combination of securities may or may not take only aggregate characteristics of their individual parts

IMPORTANCE OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Emergence of institutional investing on behalf of individuals. A number of financial institutions, mutual funds and other agencies are undertaking the task of investing money of small investors, on their behalf. Growth in the number and size of ingestible funds a large part of house hold savings is being directed towards financial assets. Increased market volatility risk and return parameters of financial assets are continuously changing because of frequent changes in governments industrial and fiscal policies, uncertainty and instability. Greater of computer for processing mass of data. Professionalization of the field and increasing use of analytical methods (e.g. quantitative techniques) in the investment decision making

. Larger direct and indirect costs of errors shortfalls in meeting portfolio objectives increased competition and greater security by investors.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER:
Portfolio manager means any person who pursuant to a contract or arrangement with a client, advice or direct or undertakes on behalf of the client (whether as a discretionary portfolio manager or otherwise) the management or administration of securities are the funds of the client.

1. Discretionary Portfolio Manager:

A discretionary portfolio manager means a portfolio manager who exercises or may, under a contract relating to portfolio management, exercises any degree of discretion in respect of the investments or management of the portfolio of securities or the funds of the clients, as the case may be. He shall individually and independently manage the funds of each client in accordance with the needs of the client in a manner which does not resemble a mutual fund.

2. Non-Discretionary Portfolio Manager:

A Non-Discretionary Portfolio Manager shall manage the funds of each client in accordance with the directions of the client. A portfolio manager, by the virtue of his knowledge, background and experience is expected to study the various avenues available for profitable investment and advise his client to enable the latter to maximize the return on his investment and at the same time safeguard the funds invested.

FUNCTIONS OF PORTFOLIO MANGERS:

They study economic environment affecting the capital market and clients investment.

. They study securities market and evaluate price trend of shares and securities in which investment is to be made. They maintain complete and updated financial performance data of Blue-Chip and other companies. They keep a track on latest policies and guidelines of Government of India, RBI and Stock Exchanges. They study problems of industry affecting securities market and the attitude of investors. They study the financial behaviour of development financial institutions and other players in the capital market to find out sentiments in the capital market. They counsel the prospective investors on share market and suggest investments in certain assured securities. They carry out investments in securities or sale or purchase of securities on behalf of the clients to attain maximum return at lesser risk.

ADVANTAGES In the portfolio we can find many advantages which can make us to run our business in most efficient manner. Of these some of them are described below: 1. Maximize the expected rate of return subject to the risk exposure being held within a certain limit. (The risk tolerance level) 2. Minimize the risk exposure, without sacrificing a certain rate of return. (The target rate of return) 3. To increase the value of the principal amount through capital appreciation. 4. To protect the principal amount invested from the risk of loss. 5. To provide a steady stream of income through regular interest/dividend payments. When we are purchasing any security or bond of the company, they give higher return rather than banks or financial institutions. When any person invests his money in any bank they give low return.

. For example: - S.B.I provides 9% return on investment, rather than companys securities provide higher return on investment

PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS
Various groups of securities when held together behave in a different manner and give interest payments and dividends also, which are different to the analysis of individual securities. A combination of securities held together will give a beneficial result if they are grouped in a manner to secure higher return after taking into consideration the risk element.

There are two approaches in construction of the portfolio of securities. They are Traditional approach Modern approach TRADITIONAL APPROACH: Traditional approach was based on the fact risk could be measured on each individual security through the process of finding out the standard deviation and the security should be chosen where the deviation was the lowest. Traditional approach believes that the market is inefficient and the fundamental analyst can take advantage of the situation. Traditional approach is a comprehensive financial plan for the individual. It takes in to account the individual need such as housing, life insurance and pension plans. Traditional approach basically deals with two major decisions. They are a) Determining the objectives of the portfolio

. b) Selecting of securities to be include in the portfolio. MODERN APPORACH: Modern approach theory was brought out by Markowitz and sharp. It is combination of securities to get the most efficient portfolio. Combination of securities can be made in many ways. Markowitz developed the theory of diversification through scientific reasoning and method. Modern portfolio theory believes in the maximization of return through a combination of securities. The modern selecting the portfolio. It does not deal with the individual needs.

MARKOWITZ MODEL:
Markowitz model is a theoretical framework for analysis of risk and return and their relationship. He used statistical analysis for the measurement of risk and mathematical programming for selection of assets in a portfolio in an efficient manner. Markowitz approach determines for the investor the efficient set of portfolio through three important variables i.e. Return Standard deviation Co-efficient of correlation Markowitz model is also called as an Full Covariance Model Through this model the investor can find out the trade off between risk and return, between the limits of zero and infinity. According to this theory, the effects of one security purchase over the security

. purchase are taken into consideration and then the results are evaluated. Most people agree that holding two stocks is less risky than holding one stock. For example, holding stocks from textile, banking and electronic companies is better than investing all the money on the textile companies stock. Markowitz had given up the single portfolio and introduced diversification. The single stock portfolio would be preferable if the investor is perfectly certain that his expectation of higher return would turn out to real. In the world of uncertainty, most of risk adverse investors would like to join Markowitz rather than keeping a single stock, because diversification reduces the risk. ASSUMPTIONS: 1. Investors behave rationally. 2. All investors have the same expected single period investment horizon. 3. All investors before making any investment have a common goal. 4. Investors know all the information about the market situation. 5. Investor free access to fair and correct information on the return and risk. 6. Investors are risk averse and choose higher return to lower level of risk. 7. The investor can reduce his risk if he adds investment to his portfolio. 8. The markets are efficient and they absorb information to his portfolio. 9. Investors make their decision only on the basis of the expected returns, standard deviation and covariance of all pairs of securities. 10. The investor can lend or borrow any amount of funds at the risk less rate of interest. The risk less rate of interest is the rate of interest offered for the treasure bills or Government securities.

FUNCTIONS OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT:

To frame the investment strategy and select an investment mix to achieve the desired investment objectives. To provide a balanced portfolio which not only can hedge against the inflation but ca so optimize returns with the associated degree of risk.

. To make timely buying and selling of securities To maximize the after-tax return by investing in various tax saving investment instruments, EVALUATION OF PORTFOLIO: Portfolio manager evaluates his portfolio and identifies the sources of strengths and weakness. The evaluation of the portfolio provides a feed back about the performance to evolve better management strategy. Even though evaluation of portfolio performance is considered to be the lat stage of investment process. There are number of situations in which an evaluation becomes necessary and important. I. Self valuation: An individual done. This is a part of the process of refining his skills and improving his performance over a period of time. II. Evaluation of manager: A mutual fund or similar organization might want to evaluate its managers. A mutual fund may have several managers each running a separate fund or sub-fund. It is often necessary to compare the performance of these managers.

PROCESS OF TYPICAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

The process of portfolio management is a complex activity. It is divided into seven broad phases. 1. Specification of investment, objective and constraints 2. Asset mix 3. Formation of portfolio strategy 4. Selection of securities 5. Portfolio execution 6. Portfolio revision 7. Performance evaluation 1. SPECIFICATION OF INVESTMENT, OBJECTIVE AND CONSTRAINTS

. The first step in the portfolio management is to be specifying the investment policies which summarize the objective, constraints and preference of the investor. The objectives of investor policy may be expressed as follows Return requirement Risk tolerance Constraints and preferences Liquidity Investment Horizon Taxes Regulation Unique circumstance

2. SELECTION OF ASSET MIX Based on your objective and constraints you have to specify your asset allocation. That is you have to decide how much of your portfolio has to be invested in each of the following asset categories. Cash Bonds Stocks Real estates Precious metals

3. FORMATION OF PORTFOLIO STRATEGY After you have chosen a certain asset mix you have to formulate an appropriate portfolio strategy. Two broad choices are available in this respect An active portfolio strategy

. Passive portfolio strategy An active portfolio strategy An active portfolio strategy is followed by most investment professionals and aggressive investors who strive to earn superior return after adjustment for risk. The four principle factors of an active strategy 1) Market timing 2) Sector rotation 3) Security selection 4) Use of a specified concept The active strategy is based on the promise that the capital market is characterized by inefficiency which can be exploited by resorting to market timing or sector or security selection or use of a specialized concept or some combination of these sectors. Passive strategy The passive strategy rests on the tenant that the capital market is fairly efficient with respect to the available information. It involves the following two guidelines: a) Create a well diversified portfolio at a predetermined level of risk. b) Hold the portfolio relatively unchanged overtimes, unless it becomes inadequate

diversified or inconsistency with the investors risk return preference. 4. SELECTION OF SECURITIES While selecting bonds we have to carefully evaluate the following factors YTM risk of default Tax shield Liquidity

Three broad approaches are employed for the selection of equity shares.

. Technical analysis Fundamental analysis Random selection

5. PORTFOLIO EXECUTION The next step is to implement the buying and selling of specified securities in given amount. It is an important practical step that has a significant bearing an investment results. 6. PORTFOLIO REVISION Irrespective of how well you have constructed a portfolio, it soon tends to become inefficient and hence needs to be monitored and revised periodically. As Robert D. A molt says portfolios do not manage them nor can they. Whether the age unaltered with each passing day, portfolio that we carefully created yesterday becomes very less than optimal today. Portfolio rebalancing Portfolio upgrading 7. PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE EVALUATION Rate of return Risk Variability Beta

TYPES OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMNT 1. DISCREATIONARY PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICE (DPMS) In this type of services, the client parts with his money in favor of the manager, who is return, handles all the paper work, makes all the decisions and gives a good return on the investment and charges fees. In the Discretionary Portfolio Management Service, to maximize the yield, almost all portfolio

. managers parks the funds in the money market securities such as overnight market, 18 days treasury bills and 90 days treasury bills. Normally, the return of such investment varies from 14 to 18 percent, depending on the call money rates prevailing at the time of investment. 2. NON-DISCREATIONARY PORTFOLIO MANAGEMNT SERVICE (NDPMS) The manager functions as a counselor, but the investor if free to accept or reject the managers advice. The paper work is also undertaken by manager for a service charge. The manager concentrates on stock market instruments with portfolio tailor-made to the risk taking ability of the investor.

CRITERIA FOR PORTFOLIO DECISION 1. Portfolio management emphasis is put on identifying the collective importance of all investors holding. The emphasis shifts from individual assets selection to a more balanced emphasis on diversification and risk-return interrelationship of individual assets within the portfolio. Individual securities are important only to the extent they affect the aggregate portfolio. In short, all decisions should focus on the impact which decision will have effect on the aggregate portfolio of all assets held. 2. Portfolio strategy should be molded to the unique needs and characteristics of the portfolios owner. 3. Diversification across securities will reduce a portfolios risk. Is the risk and return are lower than the desired level; leverages (borrowing) can be used to achieve the desired level. 4. Large portfolio returns come only with larger portfolio risk. The most important decision to make is the amount of risk which is acceptable.

. 5. The risk associated with a security type depends on when the investment will be liquidated; risk is reduced by selecting securities with payoff close to when the portfolio is to be liquated. 6. Completion for abnormal return is extensive, so one has to be careful in evaluating the risk and return from securities. Imbalance do not last long and one has to act fast to profit exceptional opportunities.

RISK AND EXPECTED RETURN There is a positive relationship between the amount of risk and the amount of expected return i.e., the greater the risk, the larger the expected return and larger the chances of substantial loss. One of the most difficult problems for an investor is to estimate the highest level of risk he is able to assume. THE EFFECTS OF COMBINING TWO SECURITIES It is believed that holding two securities is less risky than by having only one investment in a persons portfolio. When two stocks are taken on a portfolio and if they have negative correlation then risk can be completely reduced because the gain on one can offset the loss on the other. INTER-ACTIVE RISK THROUGH COVARIANCE Covariance of the securities will help in finding out the inter-active risk. When the covariance will be positive then the rate of return of securities move together either upwards or downwards. Alternatively it can also say that the inter-active risk is positive. Secondly, covariance will be zero on two investments if the rates of return are independent.

. Holding two securities may reduce the portfolio risk too. The portfolio risk can be calculated with the help of the following formula:

PORTFOLIO AGE RELATIONSHIP Your age will help you to determine what a good mix /portfolio is

AGE

PORTFOLIO 80% in stocks or mutual funds 10% in cash 10% in fixed income 70% in stocks or mutual funds 10% in cash 20% in fixed income 60% in stocks or mutual funds 10% in cash 30% in fixed income 50% in stocks or mutual funds 10% in cash 40% in fixed income 40% in stocks or mutual funds 10% in cash 50% in fixed income

Below 30

30 t0 40

40 to 50

50 to 60

Above 60

It is important to always have some equities in your portfolio (or equity funds) no matter what your age. If inflation roars back, this will be the portion of your investments that protects you from the damage, not your fixed income. Also, the fixed income of your portfolio should be diversified. If you buy bonds and debentures directly or if you invest in FDs, then make sure you have at least five different maturities to spread out the interest rate risk.
