I have the pleasure to interact with MBA Finance students advising on their Projects.
- Most of the projects deal with Indian Financial Markets, Risk Management at NSE, Performance Evaluation Of MF Schemes,Fundamental Analysis of Companies, Study of Commodities Markets,Risk Management using Derivatives,Study of F&O Market in India etc.
- Indian market data is freely available at http://www.nseindia.com,www.bseindia.com,www.mcxindia.com/ and individual MF websites and Company websites for financial data/ Annual Reports.
- Even though the project study appears simple at conceptual stage, there are lot of details at the implementation level. For ex when trying to do a study on " Performance evaluation of MF Schemes" we have come across the following issues.
- Which Bench mark to consider ? NIFTY/ BSE 200/ CNX 100
- NAV frequency ? Daily/ Weekly/ Monthly
- What is the Risk free Return ? RBI rate/ SBI term deposit rate
- Various MF data sources are available. For eg http://www.amfiindia.com,www.%20mutualfundsindia.com,value/ research, CRISIL, http://www.mf.economictimes.com/, SEBI, Business world and Business Standard sites.
- For Capital Market related projects ISMR 2009, NSE Fact Book, Risk Management guidelines are very useful.
- Some common enquiries students can undertake is regarding examination of Return and Risk of selected instruments ( Equity Futures, Commodity Futures) and compare them on the basis of Volatility.
- One fruitful study is adequate characterisation of Risk Containment Measures by exchanges ( NSE) in terms of Margins, Capital adequacy norms and their detailed calculation.
