Abstract
Undiversifiable market risk is a crucial factor that a risk-averse investor must consider while making any investment decision. We focus on dynamic market risk using time-varying beta for 10 different sectoral indices from the Indian stock market, analyse its movement over volatility regimes, and explore its relationship with market stress. The sectors that are most resilient towards market risk are chosen to construct the best portfolio for a risk-averse investor. Our findings suggest that mere consideration of market risk and not taking its variability into account may leave a large chunk of risk unattended for a risk-averse investor.
期刊介绍:
IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
