Indian economy has been witnessing a phenomenal growth since the last decade. The country is still holding its ground in the midst of the current global financial crisis. In fact, global investment firm, Moody's, says that driven by renewed growth in India and China, the world economy is beginning to recover from the one of the worst economic downturns in decades.

The growth in real Gross Domestic Product at factor cost stood at 6.7 % in 2008-09. While the sector-wise growth of GDP in agriculture, forestry and fishing was at 1.6 % in 2008-09, industry witnessed growth to 3.9 % of the GDP in 2008-09.

The Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, on August 15, 2009, in his address to the nation on its 63rd Independence Day, said that the Government will take every possible step to restore annual economic growth to 9 %.

Further, the World Bank has projected an 8 % growth for India in 2010, which will make it the fastest-growing economy for the first time, overtaking China's expected 7.7 % growth.

A number of leading indicators, such as increase in hiring, freight movement at major ports and encouraging data from a number of key manufacturing segments, such as steel and cement, indicate that the downturn has bottomed out and highlight the Indian economy's resilience. Recent indicators from leading indices, such as Nomura's Composite Leading Index (CLI), UBS' Lead Economic Indicator (LEI) and ABN Amro' Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), too bear out this optimism in the Indian economy.

Industrial output as measured by the index of industrial production (IIP) clocked an annual growth rate of 6.8 % in July 2009, according to the Central Statistical Organisation.

Significantly, among the major economies in the Asia-Pacific region, India's private domestic consumption as share of GDP, at 57 % in 2008, was the highest, according to an analysis by the McKinsey Global Institute.

Meanwhile, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) turned net buyers in the Indian market in 2009. FIIs inflows into the Indian equity markets have touched US$ 10 billion in the April to September period of 2009-10.

Foreign direct investments (FDI) into India went up from US$ 25.1 billion in 2007 to US$ 46.5 Indian economy has been witnessing a phenomenal growth since the last decade.

According to the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) 'Asia Capital Markets Monitor' report, the Indian equity market has emerged as the third biggest after China and Hong Kong in the emerging Asian region, with a market capitalization of nearly US$ 600 billion.

The Economic scenario

Indian investors have emerged as the most optimistic group in Asia, according to the Quarterly Investor Dashboard Sentiment survey by global financial services group, ING. As per the survey, around 84 % of the Indian respondents expect the stock market to rise in the third quarter of 2009.

With foreign assets growing by more than 100 per cent annually in recent years, Indian multinational enterprises (MNEs) have become significant investors in global business markets and India is rapidly staking a claim to being a true global business power, according to a survey by the Indian School of Business and the Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment.

In its optimistic report on Macroeconomic and Monetary Development of the economy in 2009, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said overall business sentiment was slated for a sharp improvement from that in the April-June 2009 quarter.

Further, India and China will soon emerge as the preferred destinations for foreign investors, revealed Economy.com, the research arm of global rating agency Moody's.

FIIS

Foreign Institutional Investors is used to denote an investor; it is mostly of the form of an institution or entity which invests money in the financial markets of a country. The term FII is most commonly used in India to refer to companies that are established or incorporated outside India, and is investing in the financial markets of India. These investors must register with the Securities & Exchange Board of India to take part in the market.

Foreign investment refers to investments made by residents of a country in another country's financial assets and production processes. After the opening up of the borders for capital movement, foreign investments in India have grown enormously. It affects the productivity factors of the receiver country and has the potential to create a ripple effect on the bop of the country. In developing countries like india, foreign capital helps in increasing the productivity of labor and to build up foreign exchange reserves to meet the current account deficit. It provides a channel through which these countries can have access to foreign capital.

Foreign investments can be of two forms: foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment. FDI involves direct production activity and has a medium to long term investment plans. In contrast the FPI has a short term investment horizon. They mostly investment in the financial markets which consist of FIIs. They invest in domestic financial markets like money market, stock market, foreign exchange market etc.

FIIs 'investments are volatile in nature, and they mostly invest in the emerging markets. They usually keep in mind the potential of a particular market to grow.

FII has lead a significant improvement in India relating to the flow of foreign capital during the period of post economic reforms. The inflow of FII investments has helped the stock market to raise at a greater height according to financial analysts. Sensex touched a new height. It crossed 10000-mark in Jan 2006 which was 9323 in 2005. FII participation in the Indian stock market triggers its upward movement, but at the same time increased liquidity through FII investment inflow increases volatility.

HISTORY OF FII

India opened its stock market to foreign investors in September 1992, and in 1993, received portfolio investment from foreigners in the form of foreign institutional investment in equities. This has become one of the main channels of FII in India for foreigners. Initially, there were many terms and conditions which restricted many FIIs to invest in India.

But in the course of time, in order to attract more investors, SEBI has simplified many terms such as: -

  • The ceiling for overall investments of FIIs was increased 24% of the paid up capital of Indian company.
  • Allowed foreign individuals and hedge funds to directly register as FIIs.
  • Investment in government securities was increased to US $ 5 Billion.
  • Simplified registration norms.

P-NOTES (Participatory Notes) are instruments used by foreign investors that are not registered with the Securities & Exchange Board of India to invest in Indian stock markets. For example, Indian-based brokerages buy India-based securities and then issue Participatory Notes to foreign investors. Any dividends or capital gains collected from the underlying securities go back to the investors. That is why they are also called Offshore Derivative Instruments. Trading through Participatory Notes is easy because participatory notes are like contract notes transferable by endorsement and delivery. Secondly, some of the entities route their investment through Participatory Notes to take advantage of the tax laws of certain preferred countries. Thirdly, Participatory Notes are popular because they provide a high degree of anonymity, which enables large hedge funds to carry out their operations without disclosing their identity.

The first question that we need to ask is the necessity of FIIs as an instrument for investment into India. This is not a common place of markets; if, for example, a non-resident of the US or of England chooses to invest in an American or an English or a German stock, he does not have to hold his investment indirectly through an FII, but can hold it directly in his own name. An FII in India is a superfluous addition created simply to suit the regulatory requirements of SEBI.

FIIs serve no economic purpose but they exist in order to provide SEBI with a bureaucratic layer between a foreign investor and the regulator. It enables SEBI to pretend that it controls foreign investors when in fact SEBI has no control on the ultimate investor. It is a good example of obscuring the true character of foreign investment in India through a non-transparent and expensive set-up. The P-Note is an additional twist in this indirect investment as it enables those who wish to invest in the Indian market to do so without disclosing their identity.

FIIs impact on the Indian economy:

The Indian stock markets are both shallow and narrow and the movement of stock depends on limited number of stocks. As FIIs purchases and sells these stocks there is a high degree of volatility in the stock market. If any set of development encourages outflow of capital that will increase the vulnerability of the situation. The high degree of volatility can be attributed to the following reasons:

  • The increase in investments by FIIs increases stock indices in turn increases the stock prices and encourages further investments. In this event, if any correction takes place the stock prices declines and there will be full out by the FIIs in large number as earning per share declines.
  • The FIIs manipulate the situation of boom in such a manner that they wait till the index raises up to a certain height an exit at an appropriate time. This tendency increases the volatility further.

So even though the portfolio investment by FIIs increases the flow of money in the economic system, it may create problems of inflation.

FII's Influence in Indian Stock Market

Institutional Investor is any investor or investment fund that is from or registered in a country outside of the one in which it is currently investing. Institutional investors include hedge funds, insurance companies, pension funds and mutual funds. The growing Indian market had attracted the foreign investors, which are called Foreign Institutional Investors to Indian equity market, and in this paper, we are trying a simple attempt to explain the impact and extent of foreign institutional investors in Indian stock market.

What does the name FII means? It is the abbreviation of Foreign Institutional Investors. The term is used most commonly in India to refer to outside companies investing in the financial markets of India. International institutional investors must register with the Securities & Exchange Board of India to participate in the market. One of the major market regulations pertaining to FIIs involves placing limits on FII ownership in Indian companies. They actually evaluate the shares and deposits in a portfolio. The major source (almost 50%) of money the FIIs invest is from the issue of Participatory Notes (P-Notes) or what are sometimes called Offshore Derivatives.

There are over 1484 FIIs and 38 foreign brokers registered to Securities & Exchange Board of India. We are also examining whether market movement can be explained by these investors. We often hear that whenever there is a rise in market, it is explained that it is due to foreign investors' money and a decline in market is termed as withdrawal of money from FIIs.

After 1991, due to our liberalization process, there was large flow of foreign funds from abroad. Investments by FII are Rs. 2,55,464.40 Crores as compared to Rs. 2,83,468.40 Crores by the end of 31 December 2007. That implies that they had withdrawn almost 9% of money they had deposited till December 2007. The amount was much in the months of 2008 as compared to corresponding months of 2007, and that is a reason for the volatility of the stock market. In 2008, the net buying is only Rs. 5,603 Crores compared to Rs. 36,869 Crores in 2007.

A more investments by FIIs indicate that they are confident in Indian market. Usually, the mode of operations of FIIs was taking loans from countries where interest is low (like Japan) and invests in booming markets like India.

But the sub-prime crisis and other economic conditions had caused a liquidity crunch for these institutions. So they are forced to withdraw money from Indian market so as to repay loans they had taken. These withdrawals had caused panic in market, and even domestic investors are making them sell their shares.

But one aspect we should agree on is that the FII's increased role had changed the face of Indian stock market. It had brought both quantitative and qualitative change. It had also increased the market depth and breadth. Emphasize is on fundamentals had caused efficient pricing of shares. Since there is no condition on FIIs that they should disclose in which company they are investing, those figures are not available.

Many qualitative tests like regression tests had proved that there is direct relation between market movements and fund flows of FIIs. In this, we will analyze the investments in different months and years, and tries to find the impact of FIIs in stock market.

Investments of FIIs on Indian Stock Market

The current investments of FIIs is Rs. 2,55,464.40 Crores. This is almost 9% of the total market capitalization. If we explain the things in simple terms, market pundits often attribute the rally of stock market and fall of stock market to the flow of funds by FIIs. We often hear the terms "FIIs Fuel the Market Run". If we analyze the impacts, then the major impacts are: -

  • They increased depth and breadth of the market.
  • They played major role in expanding securities business.
  • Their policy on focusing on fundamentals of the shares had caused efficient pricing of shares.

These impacts made the Indian stock market more attractive to FIIs and also domestic investors, which involve the other major player Mutual Funds. The impact of FIIs is so high that whenever FIIs tend to withdraw the money from market, the domestic investors become fearful and they also withdraw from market.

Just to show the impact, we analyze below the 10 biggest falls of stock market: -

Major Intra Day Collapses in BSE Sensex

From this table, we can see that the major falls are accompanied by the withdrawal of investments by FIIs. Take the case on January 18, 2008, the Sensex lost almost 687 points. Here, the net sales by FIIs were Rs. 1348.40 Crores. This is a major contributor to the fall on that day. But contrary to that day, take the case on January 21, 2008, the Sensex lost 1408 points and the gross sales was Rs. 1060.30 Crores and the purchases were Rs. 3062.00 Crores. So this can be concluded that after the fall of market, FIIs had invested again into the market. From this, we can see the effect of FIIs.

Now we analyze the net investments' graph from 2006 to 2008. From this, we can see that there was small decrease in investments in the year 2006. But there was a steep increase in the year 2007-08. This was the best period in Indian stock market where stock prices were increased and the market was in good mood.

When we take the investments in 2008, the net investments is negative. And we know the market is volatile in this year. So we find that there is direct relation between net investments and movement of stock market.

Now this graph represents the relation between gross purchases and gross sales. We can see from the graph that gross purchases are increasing from 2006 to 2007 and gross sales are lower than gross purchases. So we conclude that this caused the market to reach the magical figure of 21,000 in Sensex. But when we look at the year of 2008, the involvement of FIIs is reduced, and we can also find in this year the gross sales is higher than gross purchases. This analysis also indicates the impact of FIIs in markets.

In this graph, we took the base year as 2006 and the trends of the investments by FIIs are plotted. We can see from the graph that till 2007, the investment is more than that of 2006, and the most interesting thing is that when we look at 2008, the percentage change in investments is much lower than 2006, even going to the negative side. This finding also leads to our conclusion that the FII's impact on stock market is high.

In a few cases above - Jan 2008 and Oct 2008 - it has been seen that FIIs have pulled out money before the crashes, as evidenced by the fall in the cumulative just before the crashes. But that hasn't happened in the mini-crashes of March 2007 and Oct 2007 (their taking out money coincided with the market crash, but did not precede it).

It's too little data to make a prediction but it appears that FIIs 20 day cumulative figures don't usually stay above zero for too long. The last two months though, it has stayed above zero, as is at 10000 cr. now.

Impact of Satyam Fraud on Indian Stock Market

  • Satyam has been rightly named as Jhoota contrary to its original name Satyam implying the Truthful entity. Our reader Bhupendra has also correctly expanded the abbreviation of Satyam as SATYAM= STEALING AND TRANSFERING YOUR ALL MONEY. Thus one can see the level of disgruntlement which has set in the Indian investors and thus the repercussions are not far from the overseas readers.
  • Satyam stock is being removed from its S&P CNX Nifty 50-share index from Jan 12. Satyam will also be excluded from the CNX 100 index, CNX 500 index and the CNX IT index. Reliance Capital Ltd will replace Satyam in the main index. Satyam has lost more than 10000 Crore rupee in a single day trading. $8 Crore changed hands at BSE and 33 Crore changed hands at NSE.
  • Satyam's American Depository Receipts, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, had closed up four per cent at 9.35 dollar day before yesterday, and are expected to witness a sharp plunge when the American markets open. However the trading in said stock has been suspended as per the latest reports.
  • Satyam's largest shareholder, Aberdeen AMC, dumped the tainted software entity's shares on Wednesday, was also a seller in other index stocks like Reliance Communications and JP Associates. Thus the moral of the story is that FIIs will be difficult to convince and it will take time before FIIs line up in India and India loss will be the gain of China. One can read the complete Satyam Fraud letter written by Ramalinga Raju to understand the impact of his activities in Indian share market.
  • The following Fund Houses sold shares yesterday in the open market:
  • Swiss Finance Corp Mauritius Ltd: Sold 7786759 shares at Rs.74.61.
  • Aberdeen International India Opportunities Mauritius Ltd: Sold 9830811 shares of the company at Rs.43.41.
  • Aberdeen Asset Managers Ltd Aberdeen Global Asia Pacific fund: Sold 4179064 shares at Rs.43.41

Conclusion

From all the above discussions and data analysis, we conclude that FII has a major impact in Indian stock market. Particularly, the fall on October 17, 2007, in which just a speculation about governments plan to control P-Notes had caused the biggest fall in Indian stock market, even market had to be closed for one hour without trade. The impact is that even the domestic players and MFs also follow a close look on FIIs. So if FIIs are confident in Indian markets, there is a general perception that market is on a song.

We had also found that the major (almost 50%) of FIIs' investments are from P-Notes. So it implies that major forces behind the FII investments are anonymous. This has a negative impact on stock market. Because money launders and even terrorists use this facility to pump money to Indian market and their sudden withdrawal causes volatility in markets.

From the graphs drawn in the above parts, we can see that the major falls in stock market is accompanied by the withdrawal of money by FIIs. So there is a direct relation between the FII's money flow and the movement of Sensex. The biggest fall in stock markets occurred in 2007 and 2008. This means the volatility of market is more because during this period there was an increase in registration of FIIs and the investments reached almost Rs. 283468.40 Crores by the end of 2007. The present condition is that the investments had reduced by 9% to 255464.40 Crores as on September 5. So this reduction is one cause of volatility. This can be. In 2008, the net buying is only Rs. 5603 Crores compared to Rs. 36,869 Crores in 2007. From all this, we can analyze that the FIIs influence market.

CONCLUSIONS:

The main objective of the present paper is to determine impact and relationship between the Indian stock market, net foreign institutional investment. To test this, we employ the methodology of Granger non-causality recently proposed by Toda and Yamamoto (1995) for the sample period January 2000 to March 2006. In this study, the returns on BSE Sensitive Index are used as a proxy for the Indian stock market. The result suggests uni-directional causality between stock price and the net foreign institutional investment, thus implying that the market informational efficiency hypothesis can be rejected for BSE Sensitive Index with respect to the FII. It suggests the policy implication that the authorities can focus on domestic economic policies to stabilize the stock market.

Our results imply that stock prices can capture information on neither the FIIs. Investors can therefore apply profitable trading rules to earn supernormal profits. Under the circumstances, the Indian stock market seems to be bearing the underlying strain not currently visible at the surface. The implementation of profitable trading strategy may at any point of time generate over-enthused investment and this, if coupled with market overreaction, may result in a destabilized system. A point also to be noted here is the current concentration of FII funds in the IT and Banking sector, which in any event of flow reversals may worsen the situation.
