The Impact

<p>There are many studies found in the field of stock volatility and institutional investors. Most of the studies found an inconsistent relationship between volatility and institutional investors. It creates a curiosity in the mind of investor, whether riskier securities attract institutional investors or an increase in institutional holdings results in an increase in volatility.</p><p><br />In this paper we tried to examine the impact of institutional ownership pattern on stock volatility. We have considered BSE-30 companies and taken 5 year data from 1st January 2009 to 1st January 2014. Our result shows that institutional ownership has positive and significant impact on stock volatility.</p>

Abstract This paper assesses the impact of outbreaks from the perspective of volatility of Malaysian Listed Property Companies in mixed-asset portfolios, concentrating on periods of time between outbreaks. The real issue of this study is the health crisis that has troubled institutional investors, as it has already significantly impacted the returns on investments. Investors need to be better informed on the impact of health outbreaks on investments in order to minimize their impact. To assess the impact of the outbreaks, the GARCH method has been employed to examine the dynamic volatility of listed property companies in mixed-asset portfolios. The volatility level will give investors better information from point of view of the dynamics of volatility of the Malaysian listed property companies’ performance within mixed-asset portfolios. The findings show that listed property companies demonstrate high volatility compared to other mixed-asset portfolios during the periods of outbreaks. This indicates Malaysian listed property companies were the most volatile investment in mixed-asset portfolios. This empirical study will contribute significantly to institutional investors, especially in terms of the investment decision-making process during outbreaks.

<p><em>An upsurge and volatility of capital flows to Emerging Asian Economies indicated that there is the potential effect of global financial cycle to emerging market. It provides an overview of investor risk aversion in short term investment after financial crisis 2008. Global financial cycle could have a significant impact to asset prices, including equity prices and property prices. Rey (2015) has triggered an interesting discussion about global financial cycle. She found that there was a global financial cycle in capital flows, asset prices and credit growth. This cycle was co</em><em>‐</em><em>moves with the VIX, a measure of uncertainty and risk aversion of the markets. Therefore, this study attempts to analyze empirically global financial cycle shocks, measured by the VIX, on equity prices and property prices in ASEAN-5, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Philippines. We estimate quarterly frequency data from Q1 1990 to Q2 2016 with Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) approach. The result of this study showed that global financial cycle has a negative significant impact on the ASEAN-5 asset markets, in spite of the response of shock differs by country and size. This result is consistent with ASEAN-5 as small open economies that remain vulnerable to the global factor. This study contributes to the literature in several ways. First, we identify not only cyclical expansions or contraction in asset markets but also the impact of global financial cycle to asset markets in ASEAN-5 countries. Second, we investigate whether there are heterogeneous responses of ASEAN-5 countries to global financial cycle shocks. Third, we also identify the pattern of cycle in ASEAN-5 countries</em>.</p><p><strong><em>J</em></strong><strong><em>EL Classification: </em></strong>F30, F37, F42</p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>ASEAN, Asset Markets, Global Financial Cycle, SVAR</em>

The Impact

We do not find any consistent evidence that the presence of the largest Brazilian pension funds as relevant shareholders is associated to higher corporate governance scores by public Brazilian companies. Even though companies with institutional investors as relevant shareholders presented a higher average corporate governance score than other companies, they were also larger and had greater past profitability than other companies, which are common attributes of firms with better corporate governance according to the literature. The impact of Brazilian institutional investors on the corporate governance quality of their investees is either negligible or cannot be captured by the proxies we employed. Finally, we note that these two pension funds may represent the policy and political views of the incumbent Brazilian government and that the actions of their board appointees may or not reflect what is understood as good corporate governance practices.

The Impact

Impact investments have the potential to play an important role in solving social and environmental problems. Although the sector is growing rapidly, it does face a number of challenges, in particular related to impact measurement. Measuring the impact of such investments, which aim to achieve social and/or environmental impact while simultaneously generating financial returns, has proven difficult. This study examines the design and application of measurement systems related to impact investments. To investigate this, the seven impact measurement guidelines of the IMWG are used as a framework. We study to which degree impact investors set concrete investment objectives, how they measure and collect data related to the generated impact of the investments, and how they use such data to evaluate investment opportunities. We rely on a qualitative research methodology, including 13 semi-structured interviews among Dutch institutional investors. We find that impact investors typically set general, but not specific impact objectives. Furthermore, we note that impact investors are still searching for and experimenting with performance measures, and that they would value the development of standardized measures. Such standardized measures may assist in reducing the cost of obtaining investment data, while simultaneously increasing data reliability. Although the obtained impact data is currently hardly used for external reporting and impact data driven investment decisions, the institutional investors expect this to happen in the near future as the process of impact measurement matures. This would enable institutional investors to transition from performance measurement to performance management in the impact investment industry.
