Suman Chakraborty , Sandeep S. Shenoy , Subrahmanya Kumar N. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/imfi.15(4).2018.29Investment Management and Financial Innovations Volume 15, 2018 Issue #4 pp. 356-366
Views: 1276 Downloads: 320 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯDeterminants of dividend policy have been a topic of debate in the academic literature for several decades, but the studies have not been able to give a concluding result on the topic. Existing literature reveals that one of the most challenging decisions, dividend payout, is affected by multiple determinants thereby impacting the value of stock, among which proficatibility, capital structure and level of cash flows are identified to be significant factors. The aim of this study is to evaluate empirically the determinants of dividend payout among the companies in the Indian auto components sector which are listed in major Indian bourses. This paper constitutes a modest attempt to explore the relationship between dividend policy (dividend pay-out ratio) of the companies and the variables representing profitability, capital structure, investments, liquidity and cash flows. The other salient feature of the study is that it examines casual relationship of financial performance, operational efficiencies and investment strategies on decision of paying the dividend. ANOVA, correlation analysis and regression analysis have been used to explore the relationship between the identified variables. The study finds that the dividend policy of the companies in the Indian auto components sector is largely influenced by the operating profit, cash from operations, proportion of cash from operations used for financing the investment activities and the proportion of equity in the capital structure of the companies. The study addresses the Indian auto components sector, which is not researched much, and suggests rejuvenation in dividend policy after accounting a derived variable of cash flow to capital expenditure, as identified relevant to the group of auto manufacturers selected for the study.

Sanket Ledwani , Suman Chakraborty , Sandeep S. Shenoy doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/imfi.18(2).2021.03Investment Management and Financial Innovations Volume 18, 2021 Issue #2 pp. 20-36
Views: 1175 Downloads: 496 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19 has affected every aspect of the human life, be it health, social, or economic dimensions. The anxiety and uncertainty wobbled the economies of affected countries worldwide. This study attempts to quantify the impact of COVID-19 on the performance of major stock markets of G-7 nations vis-à-vis BRICS nations. An event study methodology is employed to capture the effect of the systematic event in the form of Buy and Hold Abnormal Returns (BHAR) and Average Buy and Hold Abnormal Returns (ABHAR). The study considers a 90-day observation window, consisting of six sub-event windows after the COVID-19 news up-doves the world, and 120 days prior to the selected event date to estimate average expected returns. BHAR values in the four event windows are statistically significant, covering stock markets from panic and nosedive to their correction and recovery. ABHAR values reported are significantly negative in the event window ranging from –0.15% to –38.43% for G-7 and –0.06% to –37.12% for BRICS nations. Despite similar ABHAR trends, the BHAR values and correlation matrix exhibit a diverse reaction in BRICS nations compared to the highly synchronized reaction in the G-7 group of nations in the COVID period.

Views: 898 Downloads: 371 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯInvestor sentiment is the result of trading behavior and irrational beliefs of investors leading to high volatility and market mispricing. This review aims to study the entire spectrum of articles in the domain of investor sentiment using a bibliometric analysis approach. To this end, the study analyzes a total of 1,919 articles published in the Scopus database between 1979 and 2022. The review uncovers major themes, leading authors, influencing articles, trend topics, top contributing countries, and affiliations. The review shows that the research in the domain of investor sentiment is growing exponentially with an annual growth rate of 15.88%, and the year 2020 witnessed the highest number of scientific productions accounting for 252 (13.68%) total publications. The results display that the USA and China are leading countries in terms of the total contribution and volume of studies from respective authors. The review also reveals that existing research in the field has mainly focused on themes such as market efficiency, asset pricing, stock returns, sentiment analysis, IPO underpricing, overreaction, and volatility, whereas Covid-19 and Bitcoin depicted as emerging themes from recent scholarly works.

Do bond attributes affect green bond yield? Evidence from Indian green bonds
Abhilash Abhilash , Sandeep S. Shenoy , Dasharathraj K. Shetty , Aditi N. Kamath doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/ee.14(2).2023.05Environmental Economics Volume 14, 2023 Issue #2 pp. 60-68
Views: 500 Downloads: 182 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯOver the years, green finance tools have gained considerable attention with the increased concern to achieve sustainability in the economy. Green bonds are one such new innovative green finance tool embodied with bonds and green attributes. However, research on the Indian green bond is relatively modest. Thus, this study aims to analyze the impact of bond attributes on green bond yield. The study retrieves green bond data from the Bloomberg and Climate Bonds Initiative databases from 2015 to 2022. To test the framed hypotheses, the study employs a panel regression technique with a random effect model. The findings of the study show a significant positive effect of bond ratings (β = 2.80926, p < 0.05) on green bond yield based on the argument that good-rated bonds serve as collateral in the security market. On the contrary, the result also reveals a significant negative effect of bond maturity (β = –0.327296, p < 0.05) and bond label (β = –3.16480, p < 0.05) on green bond yield. The results based on the observation suggest that when the certified bond is issued, this signals the greenness of the bond in the market and attracts high demand, whereas the long maturity ensures the green project construction for a longer period, resulting in a lower bond value. Thus, empirical findings reveal that bond attributes are the major factors in influencing bond yield. The obtained results serve as a prerequisite for potential issuers, investors, and policymakers to further popularize the green bond in the country.

Impact of personality traits on investment decision-making: Mediating role of investor sentiment in India
Aditi N. Kamath , Sandeep S. Shenoy , Abhilash Abhilash , Subrahmanya Kumar N. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/imfi.20(3).2023.17Investment Management and Financial Innovations Volume 20, 2023 Issue #3 pp. 200-211
Views: 671 Downloads: 471 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe behavior of investors and their investment decision-making process in the financial markets are guided by psychological (sentiments) and personal characteristics (personality traits). Research in recent years has shown the connection between investor sentiment and personality traits and investment decisions. Though academic works in the field of behavioral finance are growing, studies on personality traits and investment decision-making with investor sentiment as a mediator are sparse. To this end, the paper aims to analyze the effects of Indian retail investors’ Big-five personality traits (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness) on their short-term and long-term investment decision-making with the mediating effect of investor sentiment. The study employs the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model to test the framed hypotheses. The findings of the study reveal that Neuroticism has a significant positive effect (β=0.352, p<0.05) on investor sentiment. It further shows that Extraversion has a significant positive effect (β=0.186, p<0.05) on long-term decision-making. On the contrary, the consciousness trait has a significant negative effect (β=-0.335, p<0.05) on short-term investment decision-making. Furthermore, the Openness trait demonstrates a significant effect on both short-term and long-term investment decision-making (β=0.357, p<0.05; β=0.007, p<0.05). However, the findings reveal no significant intervening effect of investor sentiment between personality traits and investment decision-making. Thus, the study strongly exerted the impact of investors’ personality traits on their investment decision-making due to the high influence of personal characteristics over sentiment effects.

Factors influencing green bond yield: Evidence from Asia and Latin American countries
Abhilash Abhilash , Sandeep S. Shenoy , Dasharathraj K. Shetty doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/ee.15(1).2024.09Environmental Economics Volume 15, 2024 Issue #1 pp. 108-117
Views: 210 Downloads: 76 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯDespite numerous studies in the domain of green bonds, a paucity of literature concentrates on emerging countries’ green bonds. To fill this void, this study aims to examine the factors influencing green bond yield in the Asian and Latin American contexts. The data are compiled from the Bloomberg and Fred databases between 2017 and 2022. The panel regression with the Generalized Least Square method was employed. The results reveal that Asian green bonds provide higher yields with less risk to their investors than Latin American green bonds. The regression results of Asian green bonds show negligible effects of all factors, except coupon rate with a positive effect (β = 0.844), indicating its remarkable influence on green bond yield. However, the findings of Latin American green bonds uncover that coupon (β = 0.780), maturity (β = 0.025), and bond rate (β = 2.472) surpass the green bonds yield due to their positive effects, whereas issue size (β = –1.215) causes a reduction in the green bonds yield with their negative effect. Further, Environmental, Social, and Governance disclosure shows a positive (β = 1.611) effect, indicating better yield for investors due to their potential power to vanish greenwashing in these markets. Moreover, interest rate and GDP exert significant positive (β = 0.141) and negative (β = –0.030) effects on green bond yield, respectively. This observation implies that higher lending rates increase bond yield, whereas GDP-led growth provides lower yield due to better economic prospects and high investor demand for the bonds.

Does Sustainability Assurance enhance the connection between Corporate Governance and Firm Performance in India?
Deepa C. Bhat , Sandeep S. Shenoy , Dasharathraj K. Shetty , Abhilash Abhilash doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/imfi.21(3).2024.18Investment Management and Financial Innovations Volume 21, 2024 Issue #3 pp. 211-221
Views: 217 Downloads: 32 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯScholarly attention to the association between corporate governance and firm performance, considering sustainability assurance as a moderator is scarce. This study aims to examine the moderating role of sustainability assurance in the nexus between corporate governance and firm performance in India. The data relating to 35 environmentally sensitive companies among the top 100 National Stock Exchange (NSE) listed entities were gathered from the ProwessIQ Database and annual reports of companies during 2016–2022. The fixed effect regression model was employed. The results show an insignificant effect of board effectiveness on firm performance as measured by return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and Tobin’s Q. Similar findings were documented on the audit committee effectiveness and firm performance nexus, except for Tobin’s Q (β = 0.316). In addition, the study did not support the moderating role of sustainability assurance on the board effectiveness and firm performance nexus, indicating the presence of ineffective corporate governance mechanisms. However, the results show that sustainability assurance significantly and negatively moderates the relationship between audit committee effectiveness and ROA (β = –0.021), ROE (β = –0.074), and Tobin’s Q (β = –0.996). This implies that the practice of external assurance of sustainability reports by firms with audit committee effectiveness is an additional burden due to the extra cost involved. Further, the result indicates the learning curve effect among Indian companies. Thus, the findings suggest the need for regulatory focus on encouraging sustainable business practices in terms of effective corporate governance and sustainability assurance.
