The Capital Market

Globalization has mammoth divergent opportunities that are distinct in promoting economic changes in emerging markets. These include but not limited to trade, foreign direct investments, short-term capital flows, knowledge and movements of labour. The prospects for financial sectors in emerging markets are great. The capital market opens up to new investments that tend to boost overall economic performances. The occurrence has been impelled by technical change, denationalization in emerging markets, the deregulation of the financial markets in industrial countries, increased in institutional investors in developed economies and macroeconomic and trade reforms have portrayed emerging markets more attractive. These amounted to various opportunities for the financial industry in emerging markets. With several natural resources such as oil and other mineral deposits, developing countries mostly within the African region emerge with positive fiscal projections for the capital market. Since some mutual funds invest in the capital and money markets, with proper personal financial planning, financial independence is eminent in the future for the lay investor. Mutual funds have the potential for higher yield with minimum risk as compared to some other risky investment schemes such as forex trading. Professional fund management and easy liquidity of assets are some advantages of investing in mutual funds. However, investment yields on mutual funds are not guaranteed as fund assets are invested in shares, bonds, and stocks which may have fluctuating market price movements. Randomly selected invested capitals were computed using simple expected future value formula. The result indicated higher returns potential on investments in mutual funds in the long run. It was therefore concluded that there is enormous opportunities for wealth creation in investing in mutual funds in emerging markets which is ideal for personal financial planning.

The growing enthusiasm for mutual funds among the investment choice is an anxiety in the Nepali capital market. The paper aims to find out the investors’ eagerness towards mutual funds in Nepal. This investigation is descriptive and based on a structured questionnaire survey of 125 (out of 140) respondents from the broker office in Chitwan District. The stratified sampling method was used, based on four strata (Businessperson, university lecturer, university student, institutional and local investor) of the respondents’ socio-demographic, adequate knowledge, and factors determination areas. The paper has three major discoveries. First, Nepali investors were dominated by male gender like as in other countries, and university students were excited in the capital market for investment that most common only in Nepal. Second, investors were investing in mutual funds without sufficient knowledge although most investors were aware of political instability. Lastly, investing in common stock rather than mutual funds, followed by the players who made the mutual fund more effective were the most prioritized factors and awareness to invest in mutual funds was the least factor while investing by an investor. Moreover, the correlation among all variables was positively significant. This paper is valuable to the government bodies, academicians, concern companies, and investors, which help them to know more about mutual funds. This study concludes differently from previous studies that individuals prefer to invest in the capital market rather than a bank deposit, which is probably the new appearance in Nepal.

Mutual funds are designed to raise investment funds. The objectives of this study are: to determine the performance of mutual funds on the LQ-45 index is higher than the performance of equity funds in the Indonesian capital market and to measure the level of efficiency in the capital market using CAPM modeling and using Net Active Value (NAV) data per year for the 2015 period. -2019. To determine whether a mutual fund is good or bad, it is not measured by how much the return has been generated or by how big or small the risk of fluctuation is, but this is seen from how much the mutual fund performs with its reference index. If the performance of index mutual funds is better or the performance of stock mutual funds is lower overall, the capital market can be said to be efficient. The results of this study indicate that the performance of the LQ-45 index mutual funds is smaller than the performance of the more superior stock mutual funds above. So it can be concluded that the Indonesian capital market is an inefficient Indonesian capital market.

The concept of global investments has been characterized through diverse approaches in different classical and neoclassical schools of thought. As of today, the most common concepts in understanding global capital flow altogether and global investments as its part needs an urgent update. Due to a major shift in the communication patterns, the generation gap between the now retiring Baby boomers and Gen X and the newcomers Gen Y and Gen Z and their values being the main driver of change, as well as the most rapid digital transformation the world has ever seen, the theoretical groundwork to understanding the global capital flow and investments needs to be revised. This article aims to analyse the fundamental theoretical work on genesis of the term investment in the global capital flow. The author guides through the brief history of the evolution of investment and gives an overview of the most prominent concepts of the movement and regulation of foreign direct investments throughout the Ukrainian and global economic thought. The article considers different approaches and methods that have been applied to understand investments in its traditional meaning, as well as the reasons to existing of several approaches. The main five hypothesis are mentioned, which are believed to classify the motion and regulation of the global capital flow. The main components and functions of the global capital market are summarized and such categories as the depth of the capital market are explained. The article points to the problem of the asym-metry and biases inside the capital market. The author explains reasons for development of novice ideas in the economic thought due to an urgent need of redesigning economic processes based on the self­identification of an individual and their internal motives for economic decision­making. The current trend of implementing social responsibilities throughout the investment process is also mentioned in the publication. The article gives a prognosis of the future transformations and adaptations of the global capital flow due to the change in generations to the merit of digitalization and inclusiveness, as well as gender balance.Keywords: global investments, gender sensitive investment, global capital flow, concepts, digital transformation, inclusion, self­identification.
