...In an Islamic capital market (ICM) market transactions are carried out in ways that do not conflict with the conscience of Muslims and the religion of Islam.

...there be any impact on liquidity or volatility 4 4. Analysis 5 5.Impact on Liquidity 10 Conclusion: 13 References 14 1. Introduction Increasing globalization in the last decade has made Indian financial markets more integrated with the rest of the world. As a result, many Indian companies have gone for raising funds in foreign capital markets by way of issuing ADRs and GDRs. Though cross listing is viewed positively by many corporations, many researchers have shown that changes in liquidity and volatility may affect quality negatively in the domestic markets. Since companies from emerging markets go for raising funds from foreign liquid markets, some policymakers fear that if allowed unrestricted, this may impact the development of local equity markets and hence prove disastrous for emerging markets. Existing studies show that effect of foreign listing depends on factors specific to firms, market and country. Indian GDRs trade on European exchanges and ADRs trade on US exchanges. Also, since US requires higher quality disclosures than Europe, cost of listing in US markets is higher. 2. Regulatory Framework As part of its economic liberalization policy in 1992, Indian government allowed Indian companies to raise money from foreign capital markets in the form of DRs. These DRs can be denominated in any currency and can be listed on any foreign exchange. Recently, government has also allowed two-way fungibility of DRs. Earlier only one way fungibility was allowed...

...the fundamental asset value concept. In other words, assessments of each individual business must be based on its ability to generate added value, rather than on subjective concepts. In our opinion, the economy of the future must become an economy of real values. How to achieve this is not so clear-cut. Let us think about it together.” From the Address of Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister of Russia, at the Davos Economic Forum (February, 2009) This Part analyzes the pre-analytical foundations and macro-economic impact of the Modern Portfolio Theory1 (MPT) tenets, on which much of the present Western investment theory and financial economics is erected. Our general inference is that while the former are tautological at their core and treat capital investment pricing processes as if those relate to an impersonal network of natural oscillators, the latter are perceivably dangerous in spite of the belief in the strong ‘performativity’ (self-fulfillment) of MPT (McKenzie, 2006). Performative the MPT may be, but this performativity comes it a cost: as year by year it only removes the universe of traded...

...requisite degree of transparency. Demutualised exchanges will be forced to account to their shareholders regarding the bottom line as well as corporate governance. Secondly, there will be more investor participation. The new corporation will be more profit orientated due to shareholder accountability. Unlike a mutual structure where often only broker-dealers maybe members, a demutualised exchange affords both institutional and retail investors the opportunity to become shareholders. A demutualised exchange will have greater flexibility to accommodate the needs of institutional investors as customers, and potentially, as owners. Thirdly, it is the resources for capital investment. A competitive stock exchange must be able to respond quickly to global competitive forces and technological advances. With the capital raised from initial public offerings or private investment and a heightened awareness of accountability to stakeholders, a stock exchange should have both the incentive and the resources to invest in the competitiveness of its information systems. So to be competitive, products and services must not only be timely and cost effective, but also reliable. The second part of the structural changes needs to be at the SEC of Bangladesh. The fundamental issue here is: what is the regulator doing to help minimise risk for the investors? The absolute minimum the SEC can ensure is to have risk minimising tools. As a first step...

...SWFs has been brought into the spotlight. An ever growing number of SWFs worldwide was thought to precipitate tectonic shifts in global equity and foreign exchange markets. Unlike central banks, the SWFs are more likely to invest in emerging nations rather than the developed countries. Stephen Jen, the managing director and chief currency economist at Morgan Stanley, says that the trend for SWFs to move away from sovereign debt to assets that generate higher returns, including financial, resources, tech, and infrastructure plays, is a natural outcome of the globalization financial markets that seeks to adjust existing global imbalance. Based on the diverse investment nature of SWFs, the global fund industry anticipates huge opportunities to make money off the SWFs. At the same time, SWFs are believed to have a stabilizing role in global markets, helping to resuscitate struggling financial institution. This is based on two prominent features of SWFs. One is its longer investment horizon. The other is its greater tolerance for swings in the balance sheets. Despite the optimistic point of views on SWF, potential problems regarding transparency, potential interference and its effect on currency markets have been revealed. Other challenges faced by SWF are about its conservative nature and apparent impact on capital markets according to Jonathan Anderson, the chief economist at UBS Asia-Pacific. 2) As a business student, it is inevitable for us to read business cases.

...globe where some genius brains have been able to use the vulnerable platform of stock market to their own advantage by enriching themselves enormously at the cost of unprecedented financial losses to thousands of others. A common tool used by these manipulative brains is what in common parlance is known as Insider trading.

... Investment bankers help deficit spending units (DSUs) bring new primary security issues to market. Deposits in a credit union by a household are an example of direct finance. When a surplus spending units (SSU) owns a financial claim created by financial intermediation, its residual claim is against a deficit spending units (DSU). Assets of financial intermediaries include direct financial claims only. Finance companies take small consumer deposits and make large consumer loans. Liabilities of financial intermediaries are indirect financial claims. Direct finance requires a more or less exact match of preferences. There must be an equal number of DSUs and surplus spending units ( SSUs) in a period. Every financial claim appears on two balance sheets. Without a financial sector, real investment must be financed internally by the deficit spending unit. Depository intermediaries issue claims that are for the most part highly liquid. A household is a surplus spending units when income for the period exceeds spending. A surplus spending units surplus spending unit (SSU) must hold a claim until its scheduled maturity. Financial claims or securities are written for the mutual benefit of both SSU and DSU. Deficit spending units (DSUs) and surplus spending units (SSUs) always have some contact with each other in financial markets. Commercial banks lend to businesses in direct financial markets. “Futures contract” and “forward contract”...
