The Indian microfinance firms are stabilizing from the microfinance crisis of 2010. The firms are oscillating in taking the decisions about financing through debt or equity. Some of the firms, even after getting approval from regulatory bodies for going through Initial Public Offer (IPO), are deferring their plans. In this perspective, the present research has been initiated to identify the capital market risk. Four Indian IPOs held between 2016 and 2019 are studied. The result indicates that there is an inverse relationship between the profitability of the firm and the IPO subscription rate.

In my thesis, I explore the constituents of an organizational crisis for Investor Relations and the capital market in Germany. The literature review reveals a research gap on crisis research for these organizational groups as well as on qualitative research in the field. Grounding my research within the hermeneutic phenomenological tradition, I conduct an instrumental case study on BP and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to obtain the required pre-understanding. I use secondary data by means of newspaper articles from three UK national newspapers. The findings from the instrumental case study guide the collection of primary data. I conduct interviews with Investor Relations managers and institutional capital market participants. I analyze the interview data using thematic analysis. A crisis that is considered relevant for Investor Relations and the capital market shows different characteristics than those relevant for other organizational crises. My study extends existing crisis frameworks by adding impacts and the perspective from a specific corporate function and the related stakeholder group. It offers a new conceptualization of crisis. Research regarding impacts on capital markets is often associated with quantitative research, using secondary data to assess effects on share prices. My research seeks to explore the underlying mechanisms of effects on Investor Relations and the capital market by employing a twofold exploratory approach. Therefore, my qualitative approach is methodologically relevant. I demonstrate that qualitative research can be applied successfully in this domain and obtain meaningful results.

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.

This study examines the total asset profitability, which is an indicator of business performance, using panel data for 10 years from 2005 to 2015 for 10 domestic insurance companies. We analyze the factors affecting the ROA, compare the differences between before and after the enactment of the Capital Market Act, and assess the level of total assets of domestic insurance companies. Total Asset Margins As a result of analyzing the eight independent variables in order to identify the factors that affect the dependent variable, the factors affecting the total asset margins are (4) investment operating profit, insurance operating profit, business expense, appear. Among them, investment profits were the most influential factors. On the other hand, the factors affecting (-) the total asset profitability were analyzed as total capital, premium, leverage, and loss ratio. In particular, the total amount of capital has the largest negative impact on total assets. As a result of analyzing whether or not the total assets profit rate before and after enforcement of the Capital Market Act is the same, ROA, leverage, and period of operation were found to be the same before and after the Capital Market Act. On the other hand, insurance premiums, insurance operating profits, investment operating profits, business expenses, loss ratios, and total capital were analyzed before and after the implementation of the Capital Market Act. According to the results of the analysis of the total assets profit rate and the amount of the premium insurance, the second group has a 0.4% lower ROA than the first group but the third group is 41.8% lower than the first group. In other words, it can be seen that the ratio of total assets is lower than that of large companies.

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.

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.

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.
