The Correlation of Hedging Risk and Volatility to Facilitate

the Optimal Portfolio Choice of Infosys Ltd, Wipro Ltd and

Tata Consultancy Services- A Study

Shruti Aggarwal, Asst. Profesor, finance CMRIT, Bangalore.

ABSTRACT

Portfolio is the diversification of group of investments and

management of portfolio consists of risk and return trade

off. The prices of securities fluctuate due to volatility and

risk, that can cause you great loss. Therefore, this

research paper is made to focus on hedging those risks

and volatility to facilitate the optimal portfolio choice. The

researcher has taken three IT companies that is: infosys,

Wipro, TCS, to support this descriptive study. The data

has been taken as secondary data for this contrived study

and hypothesis is tested through t-test. To support the

study, the statistical tools used in the study are CAPM,

Logit Regression. This Research paper would put an

insight into the hedging of risk and volatility to facilitate

the optimal portfolio choice with respect to Infosys, Wipro

and TCS.

Keywords: Portfolio, diversification, investments, risk, return,

volatility, hedging, optimal portfolio choice.

INTRODUCTION

COMPANY PROFILE

in 1981 by seven people with US$ 250. Today, we are a

global leader in the "next generation" of IT and consulting

with revenues of US$ 5.4 billion (LTM Sep-10) .Infosys

defines, designs and delivers technology-enabled business

solutions that help Global 2000 companies win in a Flat

World. Infosys also provides a complete range of services

by leveraging our domain and business expertise

and strategic alliances with leading technology providers

WIPRO Ltd

Wipro Ltd is an Indian IT giant that offers integrated IT

solutions to its clients worldwide. It offers total

outsourcing, business solutions, consulting services and

professional services to plan, deploy, sustain and maintain

the IT lifecycle of its clients.Wipro Infotech is a part of

US$ 5 billion Wipro Limited with US$ 24 billion market

capitalization. Wipro is known for its quality. It is the first

global software company to attain Level 5 SEI-CMM as

well as the first IT Company in the world to achieve Six

Sigma and Level 5 PCMM.

TATA CONSULTATION SERVICES Tata Consultancy Services, the key player in the IT

services and business solutions area has attained for

themselves a quality that none can match. Their services

are mainly consulting based, with an integrated IT and

ITes portfolio. They have a unique Global Network

Delivery Model – which is supposed to be the yardstick of

superiority in software development. Tata Consultancy

Services is a part of the Tata group (the largest industrial

conglomerate of India).

RISK, VOLATILITY AND PORTFOLIO

"risks" are simply future issues that can be avoided or

mitigated, rather than present problems that must be

immediately addressed. The simple fact is that risk is

always a probability issue. Possibility is a binary condition

– either something is possible, or it’s not – 100% or 0%.

In risk management, the term "hazard" is used to mean an

event that could cause harm and the term "risk" is used to

mean simply the probability of something happening.

Financial risk is often defined as the unexpected

variability or volatility of returns and thus includes both

potential worse-than-expected as well as better-than-

expected returns.

In finance, volatility most frequently refers to the standard

deviation of the continuously compounded returns of

a financial instrument within a specific time horizon. It is

used to quantify the risk of the financial instrument over

the specified time period. Volatility is normally expressed

in annualized terms, and it may either be an absolute

number ($5) or a fraction of the mean (5%).

In finance, a portfolio is a collection of investments held

by an institution or an individual.

Holding a portfolio is a part of an investment and risk-

limiting strategy called diversification. By owning several

assets, certain types of risk (in particular specific risk) can

be reduced. The assets in the portfolio could include bank

accounts, stocks, bonds, options, warrants, gold

certificates, real estate, futures contracts, production

facilities, or any other item that is expected to retain its

value.

Portfolio management involves deciding what assets to

include in the portfolio, given the goals and risk tolerance

of the portfolio owner. Selection involves deciding which

assets to acquire/divest, how many to acquire/divest, and

when to acquire/divest them. These decisions always

involve some sort of performance measurement, most

typically the expected return on the portfolio, and the risk

associated with this return (e.g., the expected standard

deviation of the expected return).

Portfolio formation : Many strategies have been

developed to form a portfolio;

equally-weighted portfolio

capitalization-weighted portfolio

price-weighted portfolio

optimal portfolio (for which Risk-Adjusted

Return is highest)

LITERATURE REVIEW

frey, thorsten and buxmann, peter, "IT project

portfolio management - a structured literature

review" (2012). ecis 2012 proceedings. paper 167.

http://aisel.aisnet.org/ecis2012/167

Wheelwright and Clark, 1992; cooper, edgett et

al,2000; says that a portfolio is balanced if there is

suitable distribution of projects on the basis of risk,

return, volatility and efficiency.

Welling and Kamann, 2001; says that cooperation

can be improved, if the same individuals deals with

each other in the series of projects, rather than

different individuals with different projects.

Pinto, 2002; suggests that the successful application

of risk evaluation in portfolio is the proper

assessment of risk and quantification be uniformely

applied over the projects.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

To understand the risk and volatility in the

companies and their effect on the portfolio

structure.

To know the asset allocation in the companies so as

to have proper investments in assets.

To study the returns in the company to maintain the

portfolio fruitful.

To study the asset pricing through CAPM model in

order to devote legible cash for assets, reserves for

its depreciation and to decide upon its proper

selection.

To study the debt and equity composition mix of

the companies and the returns on it with respect to

capital so as to make well diversified portfolio with

minimise risk.

To find out the measures to hedge the risk and

volatility so as to facilitate the optimal portfolio

choice.

To find out the optimal portfolio structure for the

companies that can generate the maximum of return

with negligible risk and volatility

To find out the importance of variables for the

selection of optimal portfolio.

To study whether the estimated return is more than

the expected return or vice versa, in order to

eliminate the loss generating securities from the

portfolio.

To study the ways and means to invest either in

govt. securities or in other securities where risk

persists for the investor.

To provide pragmatic suggestions for improvement

of the investment pattern by the prospective

investor in order to hedge themselves from the

market risk.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

SOURCE FOR DATA COLLECTION

The data is collected through the secondary sources

RESEARCH DESIGN IN STUDY

In the study I will apply descriptive research design. As

descriptive research design is a design where the data is

collected through secondary sources and the study is

already being done by someone before.

TIME HORIZON

The time horizon in my study is “CROSS-SECTIONAL”

study because the data is being collected at once from the

the secondary sources and not at two or more points in

time to answer my research question.

STUDY SETTING IN MY STUDY:

The study setting used by me is CONTRIEVED STUDY

because the organization research conducted by me is not

in natural environment.

STATISTICAL TOOLS CAPM MODEL

CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL: A model to

price risky assets

Main points of CAPM theory:

1. Diversify to eliminate non-systematic risk.

2. Hold only the risk-free asset and the tangent portfolio.

3. An asset’s systematic risk is measured by contribution

to the

risk of the tangent portfolio – its beta βiT.

4. An asset’s risk premium is proportional to its systematic

risk:

¯ri − rF = βiT (¯rT − rF) .

STRATEGY TO INTERPRET THE RESULTS:

if estimated return is greater than expected return

then there is high returns and less risk.

If expected return is greater than expected return

then there is low returns and high risk

LOGIT REGRESSION

It is a univariate or multivariate technique which allows

for estimating the probability that an event occurs or not,

by depicting a binary dependent outcome from a set of

independent variables.

ASSUMPTION: The roi is high with respect to given

level of risk.

INFOSYS Ltd

Year end 2010

INTERPRETATION:

The expected counts, observed counts does not implying

high variable constitution and adjusted residuals are highly

deviated, therefore, assumption proved wrong and returns

are less with respect to given level of risk.

38

INTERPRETATION:

In this the observed and expected counts are same but

adjusted residuals are in high concentrations , forming a

same line of pattern, appearing in complementary with

expected normal value with not high deviations and likely

closely associated, thus there are moderate returns with

respect to given level of risk and volatility.

TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES

Year end 2010

INTERPRETATION:

A great pattern of adjusted residuals is visible, an

overlapping variables, each with a very less deviation ,

resulting into high returns expected and observed with

given level of risk and volatility.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Except the supreme power, the Almighty, no one is

impeccable and prowess enough to accomplish anything

without any faults and limitations. A research is no

exception. No study is devoid of certain shortcomings.

Some problems encountered in this study are under

mentioned:

Time Constraints:

Time is a bit short to fathom into the depth of the study.

But still all efforts to the best possible extent will be made

to collect the data.

Data collection Constraints:

Since data to be use is secondary in nature, this poses the

constraints on the validity and reliability of the data.

Secrecy of Internal Data

In today’s day the companies are very sensitive regarding

their internal data, this proved a hindrance to my study.

Period of Analysis

Sample size of one year is taken -2010, which is sufficient,

but a bigger sample will be more effective.

RESULTS AND FINDINGS

The stochastic moments of returns results more into

volatility and the need for hedging.

It is projected that beta factor and the estimated

returns are the major factors affecting the optimal

portfolio choice.

The portfolio of INFOSYS Ltd is not well

diversified and hence more risky.

The Infosys ltd has to focus on quoted securities

rather than unquoted in order to earn stable returns

with less risk.

The INFOSYS Ltd must eliminate these securities

from the portfolio to seek high returns with less

risk. These are:

UNITS QUOTED: The units of KOTAK, RELIANCE,

ICICI PRUD.,HDFC, SBI are generating low returns with

high risk channel i.e. estimated returns are less than

expected returns, therefore they should be eliminated.

EQUITY UN QUOTED: The equities of INFOSYS

BPO,INFOSYS TECH CHINA, INFOSYS SWEDEN,

INFOSYS AUSTRALIA, ON MOBILE SYS, INFOSYS

PUBLIC are generating low returns with high risk channel

i.e. estimated returns are less than expected returns,

therefore they should be eliminated.

The portfolio of wipro ltd is diversified but not so

well and can prove risky in future if not undergone

any changes.

Wipro ltd have to focus more on units quoted as it

can prove beneficial for it in future.

The WIPRO Ltd must eliminate these securities

from the portfolio to seek high returns with less

risk. These are:

DEBENTURES UNQUOTED: the debentures of CITI

CORP. FINANCE should be eliminated as the debenture

is producing less estimated returns than expected returns

and generating less returns.

EQUITY UNQUOTED: the equity of WIPRO

CHANDRIKA, WIPRO SHANGHAI, WMNET SERVE,

WIPRO JAPAN, SPECTRAMIND, WEP

PHERIPHERALS should be eliminated, the equity is

producing less estimated returns than expected returns and

generating less returns.

PREFERENCE SHARES: nothing is to be eliminated as

both the pref. shrea are generating good returns.

UNITS QUOTED: the units of LIC MF, ICICI PRUD.

MF, UTI MF should be eliminated ,the units are producing

less estimated returns than expected returns and generating

less returns.

The portfolio of TCS is highly diversified and

stable, thus imposing less threat to tcs.

The returns are fairly good but some securities have

to be eliminated majorly from the portfolio as

causing threat due to low returns regularly, but

overall TCS is generating high returns from its

portfolio with very less deviations thereof.

The TCS Ltd must eliminate these securities from

the portfolio to seek high returns with less risk.

These are:

EQUITY QUOTED: the equity CMC is overpriced,

generating less returns , therefore should be eliminated.

DEBENTURES QUOTED: the bonds IDBI BONDS

2018, HUDCO BONDS 2014 are overpriced, generating

less returns , therefore should be eliminated.

DEBENTURES UNQUOTED: nothing is to be

eliminated but the check has to be made on TAT SONS

Ltd 2014.

EQUITY UNQUOTED: the equity of TCS

NETHERLANDS, TCS SVERIGE, TCI FNS, TCS

MOROCCO, TCS CANADA, TCS AFRICA, TCS E-

SERVE are overpriced, generating, therefore should be

eliminated.

PREFERENCE SHARES: the pref shares of TCS

CANADA, AP ONLINE are overpriced , generating less

returns , therefore should be eliminated.

UNITS UNQUOTED: the units of HDFC CASH

MNGMT, BSL INTERVAL, IDFC, KOTAK FLEXI,

TATA LIQUID are overpriced, generating less returns ,

therefore should be eliminated

It is being projected that volatility in the market is

not following the same pattern and is highly

fluctuating, thus affecting the prices and the returns

thereof.

The investments in asset should be such that the

long term investments should be less than short

term investments as the future is uncertain.

The better would be to keep reserves from the short

term investment gains for the future contingencies

as compared with investing in the long term

portfolio.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS

The Infosys should diversify their portfolio so as to

generate risk-return trade off.

The Infosys, wipro and tcs should eliminate the

securities from their portfolio that are generating

less returns due to the estimated return be less than

the expected returns.

The risk factor should be regularly assessed so as to

find the expected returns to make it clear in advance

that whether the portfolio will generate the good

returns or not.

The Infosys ltd should not go for the securities are

unquoted due to high risk probability and

uncertainity of values.

The investments should more in the units or

securities of the subsidiaries of the companys as it

would enhance its own capital and rotation of the

fund within its company pertaining to high returns

and very low risk.

The debt should not be taken in high amount so that

if loss occurs, you will not be affected at high

concentration.

The companies should avoid investing in unquoted

securities so as to avoid the risk and to enhance

returns.

The portfolio should regularly be revised so as to grab new

investment oppurtunities in the market.
