INTRODUCTION

My Topic “Best performing scripts of nifty in last 5 year in banking sector “Is a Comparative Analysis Of All the Banks Which are listed in Nifty In the

Page 3: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

period of last five years. For this I have calculated beta separately for each bank as well as Risk & Return Relating to each of them. I made review of various Journals published by NSE and gone Through NSE INDIA web. As Showed in my Project The Banking sector Is one Of The Most performed During Last Five Year, which Inspired me To Select this topic.

To develop a more clear view about the topic we have to Understand Nifty and Banking

NIFTY & BANKING

NIFTY- The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the

report of the High Powered Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges.

It recommended promotion of a National Stock Exchange by financial institutions

(FIs) to provide access to investors from all across the country on an equal footing.

Based on the recommendations, NSE was promoted by leading Financial Institutions

at the behest of the Government of India and was incorporated in November 1992 as

a tax-paying company unlike other stock exchanges in the country.

On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts

(Regulation) Act, 1956 in April 1993, NSE commenced operations in the Wholesale

Debt Market (WDM) segment in June 1994. The Capital Market (Equities) segment

commenced operations in November 1994 and operations in Derivatives segment

commenced in June 2000.

The following years witnessed rapid development of Indian capital market

2

with introduction of internet trading, Exchange traded funds (ETF), stock

derivatives and the first volatility index - IndiaVIX in April 2008, by NSE.

August 2008 saw introduction of Currency derivatives in India with the launch

of Currency Futures in USD INR by NSE. Interest Rate Futures was introduced for

Page 4: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

the first time in India by NSE on 31st August 2009, exactly after one year of the

launch of Currency Futures.

With this, now both the retail and institutional investors can participate in

equities, equity derivatives, currency and interest rate derivatives, giving them wide

range of products to take care of their evolving needs.

NIFTY 50 IN LAST 20 YEAR: ONE OF THE GREATEST WEALTH CREATER

Equity is the one of the most exotic asset class, it has given about 21%

average annualized return since 1990, investment in equity has seen sea change in

Page 5: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

recent decade. Emergence of business channel sprayed the awareness about equity

among the investor community ,earlier to buy equity was not so easy as it is now,

today market is in pockets of investor in terms of access, technology has provided

the multiple way to access the market through internet, through cell phone and

WAP , now a day’s various expert advices trading and investment tips are available

with the investors, Many fund house are running their mutual fund and giving good

return to their investors and the asset under management of mutual fund industry is

approximately $ 6.7 lakh billion. Reliance capital is the largest mutual fund whose

asset under management is more than one lakh crore followed by HDFC MF, ICICI

Prudential MF, state run UTI Mutual Fund whose asset under management is 68,000

crore and Birla Sun Life MF are the five largest fund house of the country. Insurance

companies, HNI, FII, Retail investors are holding significant amount of equities in

their portfolio, although the allocation in equity is less than 5% of the total house hold

saving in the country however in totality it is a huge amount. In recent market selloff

where FII has sold 13.1billion US$ at one way and DII has bought more than 16.2

US$ at the same time in other way. Identification of investable share is the tuff job

even for the market participant and timing the market is even tougher for the expert,

but the fundamental analysis and technical analysis helps the people to identify the

cheap stocks at the right time to park their investments. But still

4

the question remain same what and how much one should buy? The main

barometer which is index it

gives the diversity and credibility of the basket and also liquid to exit and enter at

desired time for the investor NIFTY 50 stocks reflects the appropriate behaviour of

Page 6: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

equity because this is the broader index composed of 50 blue chips Company of

various sector having better corporate governance, credibility and profitability. Nifty

is claimed as the stocks of the nation gives the diversity and reliability .Reshuffling in

script is also an important phenomena because we have observed that time to time

the company who hasn’t followed the corporate governance and not adequately

performed have shown exit way from the index, similar incident happened with the

Satyam computers after the scam broke out in the company the script of the

company removed from the index and replaced by other company. The most

important characteristics of NIFTY is the diversity it is the basket of the shares who

represents the various sectors like Reliance and ONGC represents the

petrochemical sector, NTPC represents the power sector, ACC represents the

cement sector ,Infosys represent the IT sector and SBI and ICICI bank represents

the banking sectors and so on. The stocks in NIFTY gets proportionate weight age

according to their market capitalization so if money will allocated to the company

who are the component of index according to their proportion, then the capital

appreciation will be similar as the index fluctuation.

BANKING- The Indian Banking industry, which is governed by the Banking

Regulation Act of India, 1949 can be broadly classified into two major categories,

non-scheduled banks and scheduled banks. Scheduled banks comprise commercial

banks and the co-operative banks. In terms of ownership, commercial banks can be

further grouped into nationalized banks, the State Bank of India and its group banks,

regional rural banks and private sector banks (the old/ new domestic and foreign).

These banks have over 67,000 branches spread across the country.

The banking section will navigate through all the aspects of the Banking System in

India. It will discuss upon the matters with the birth of the banking concept in the

country to new players adding their names in the industry in coming few years.

The banker of all banks, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Indian Banks Association

(IBA) and top 20 banks like IDBI, HSBC, ICICI, ABN AMRO, etc. has been well

defined under three separate heads with one page dedicated to each bank.

However, in the introduction part of the entire banking cosmos, the past

has been well explained under three different heads namely:

History of Banking in India

Nationalisation of Banks in India

Scheduled Commercial Banks in India

The first deals with the history part since the dawn of banking system in

India. Government took major step in the 1969 to put the banking sector into

systems and it nationalised 14 private banks in the mentioned year. This has been

elaborated in Nationalisation of Banks in India. The last but not the least explains

about the scheduled and unscheduled banks in India. Section 42 (6) (a) of RBI Act

Page 10: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

8

1934 lays down the condition of scheduled commercial banks. The description along

with a list of scheduled commercial banks is given on this page.

Currently, India has 96 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector

banks (that is with the Government of India holding a stake), 31 private banks (these

do not have government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock

exchanges) and 38 foreign banks. They have a combined network of over 53,000

branches and 49,000 ATMs. According to a report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency,

the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of total assets of the banking industry,

with the private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively.

EARLY HISTORY

Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks

were The General Bank of India which started in 1786, and the Bank of Hindustan,

both of which are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State

Bank of India, which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost

immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency

banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of

which were established under charters from the British East India Company. For

many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their

Page 11: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

9

successors. The three banks merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India,

which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India.

Foreign banks too started to arrive, particularly in Calcutta, in the 1860s. The

Comptoire d'Escompte de Paris opened a branch in Calcutta in 1860, and another in

Bombay in 1862; branches in Madras and Pondicherry, then a French colony,

followed. HSBC established itself in Bengal in 1869. Calcutta was the most active

trading port in India, mainly due to the trade of the British Empire, and so became a

banking center.

The first entirely Indian joint stock bank was the Oudh Commercial Bank, established

in 1881 in Faizabad. It failed in 1958. The next was the Punjab National Bank,

established in Lahore in 1895, which has survived to the present and is now one of

the largest banks in India.

Around the turn of the 20th Century, the Indian economy was passing through a

relative period of stability. Around five decades had elapsed since the Indian Mutiny,

and the social, industrial and other infrastructure had improved. Indians had

established small banks, most of which served particular ethnic and religious

communities.

10

Page 12: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

LIBERALISATION

In the early 1990s, the then Narsimha Rao government embarked on a policy of

liberalization, licensing a small number of private banks. These came to be known as

New Generation tech-savvy banks, and included Global Trust Bank (the first of such

new generation banks to be set up), which later amalgamated with Oriental Bank of

Commerce, Axis Bank(earlier as UTI Bank), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. This move,

along with the rapid growth in the economy of India, revitalized the banking sector in

India, which has seen rapid growth with strong contribution from all the three sectors

of banks, namely, government banks, private banks and foreign banks.

Currently (2007), banking in India is generally fairly mature in terms of supply,

product range and reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a challenge

for the private sector and foreign banks. In terms of quality of assets and capital

adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong and transparent

balance sheets relative to other banks in comparable economies in its region. The

Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal pressure from the

government. The stated policy of the Bank on the Indian Rupee is to manage

volatility but without any fixed exchange rate-and this has mostly been true.

→WHAT IS CORRELATION?

The correlation coefficient a concept from statistics is a measure of how well trends

in the predicted values follow trends in past actual values.  It is a measure of how

well the predicted values from a forecast model "fit" with the real-life data.

The correlation coefficient is a number between 0 and 1.  If there is no relationship

between the predicted values and the actual values the correlation coefficient is 0 or

very low (the predicted values are no better than random numbers).  As the strength

of the relationship between the predicted values and actual values increases so

does the correlation coefficient.  A perfect fit gives a coefficient of 1.0. Thus, the

higher the correlation coefficient the better.

In statistics, correlation and dependence are any of a broad class of statistical

relationships between two or more random variables or observed data values.

Familiar examples of dependent phenomena include the correlation between the

physical statures of parents and their offspring, and the correlation between the

demand for a product and its price. Correlations are useful because they can

indicate a predictive relationship that can be exploited in practice. For example, an

electrical utility may produce less power on a mild day based on the correlation

between electricity demand and weather. Correlations can also suggest possible

causal, or mechanistic relationships; however, statistical dependence is not sufficient

to demonstrate the presence of such a relationship.

14

PEARSON'S PRODUCT-MOMENT COEFFICIENT

Page 17: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

The most familiar measure of dependence between two quantities is the Pearson

product-moment correlation coefficient, or "Pearson's correlation." It is obtained by

dividing the covariance of the two variables by the product of their standard

deviations. Karl Pearson developed the coefficient from a similar but slightly different

idea by Francis Galton.

The population correlation coefficient ρX,Y between two random variables X and Y

with expected values μX and μY and standard deviations σX and σY is defined as:

where E is the expected value operator, cov means covariance, and, corr a widely

used alternative notation for Pearson's correlation.

The Pearson correlation is defined only if both of the standard deviations are finite

and both of them are nonzero. It is a corollary of the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality that

the correlation cannot exceed 1 in absolute value. The correlation coefficient is

symmetric: corr(X,Y) = corr(Y,X).

The Pearson correlation is +1 in the case of a perfect positive (increasing) linear

relationship, −1 in the case of a perfect decreasing (negative) linear relationship, and

some value between −1 and 1 in all other cases, indicating the degree of linear

dependence between the variables. As it approaches zero there is less of a

relationship. The closer the coefficient is to either −1 or 1, the stronger the

correlation between the variables.

→RISK VERSUS RETURN

One Can't Have One Without the Other

Risk — Just the thought of it can give investors sleepless nights. However, through

careful planning for your financial future, you can help manage risk.

Risk is something you encounter every day. Even crossing a busy street involves

some risk. With investments, balancing risk and return can be a tricky operation. All

investors want to maximize their return, while minimizing risk.

Some investments are certainly more "risky" than others, but no investment is risk

free. Trying to avoid risk by not investing at all can be the riskiest move of all. That

would be like standing at the curb, never setting foot into the street. You'll never be

able to get to your destination if you don't accept some risk. In investing, just like

crossing that street, you carefully consider the situation, accept a comfortable level

of risk, and proceed to where you're going. Risk can never be eliminated, but it can

be managed. Let's take a look at the different types of risk, how different asset

categories perform, and the ways and means to help manage risk.

16

Page 19: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

TYPES OF RISK

However, there are many kinds of risk. Let's take a look at some of them:

Capital Risk: Losing your invested monies.

Inflationary Risk: Investment's rate of return doesn't keep pace with inflation

rate.

Interest Rate Risk: A drop in an investment's interest rate.

Market Risk: Selling an investment at an unfavorable price.

Liquidity Risk: Limitations on the availability of funds for a specific period of

time.

Legislative Risk: Changes in tax laws may make certain investments less

advantageous.

Default Risk: The failure of the institution where an investment is made.

The risk/return tradeoff could easily be called the "ability-to-sleep-at-night test."

While some people can handle the equivalent of financial skydiving without batting

an eye, others are terrified to climb the financial ladder without a secure harness.

Deciding what amount of risk you can take while remaining comfortable with your

investments is very important.

In the investing world, the dictionary definition of risk is the chance that an

investment's actual return will be different than expected. Technically, this is

measured in statistics by standard deviation. Risk means you have the possibility of

losing some, or even all, of our original investment.

17

Page 20: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

Low levels of uncertainty (low risk) are associated with low potential returns. High

levels of uncertainty (high risk) are associated with high potential returns.

The risk/return tradeoff is the balance between the desire for the lowest possible risk

and the highest possible return. This is demonstrated graphically in the chart below.

A higher standard deviation means a higher risk and higher possible return.

WHAT DOES RISK-RETURN TRADE-OFF MEAN?

The principle that potential return rises with an increase in risk. Low levels of

uncertainty (low risk) are associated with low potential returns, whereas high levels

of uncertainty (high risk) are associated with high potential returns. According to

the risk-return trade-off, invested money can render higher profits only if it is subject

to the possibility of being lost.

The objective of risk and return analysis is to maximize the return by creating a

balance of risk. For example, in case of working capital management, the less

inventory you keep, the higher the expected return as less of your money is locked

as asset; but you also have a increased risk of running out of raw material when you

actually need it for production or maintenance. Which means you lose sale. Thus

all

18

Page 21: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

companies tries very hard to maintain a minimum inventory as possible without

effecting smooth production. This is a very common example of risk return trade-off

→WHAT IS BETA CALCULATION?

In finance, the beta (β) of a stock or portfolio is a number describing the relation of

its returns with that of the financial market as a whole.

An asset with a beta of 0 means that its price is not at all correlated with the market.

A positive beta means that the asset generally follows the market. A negative beta

shows that the asset inversely follows the market; the asset generally decreases in

value if the market goes up and vice versa.

The beta coefficient is a key parameter in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). It

measures the part of the asset's statistical variance that cannot be mitigated by the

diversification provided by the portfolio of many risky assets, because it is correlated

with the return of the other assets that are in the portfolio. Beta can be estimated for

individual companies using regression analysis against a stock market index.

The formula for the beta of an asset within a portfolio is

,

where ra measures the rate of return of the asset, rp measures the rate of return of

the portfolio, and cov(ra,rp) is the covariance between the rates of return. The

19

Page 22: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

portfolio of interest in the CAPM formulation is the market portfolio that contains all

risky assets, and so the rp terms in the formula are replaced by rm, the rate of return

of the market.

Beta is also referred to as financial elasticity or correlated relative volatility, and

can be referred to as a measure of the sensitivity of the asset's returns to market

returns, its non-diversifiable risk, its systematic risk, or market risk. On an individual

asset level, measuring beta can give clues to volatility and liquidity in the

marketplace. In fund management, measuring beta is thought to separate a

manager's skill from his or her willingness to take risk.

SECURITY MARKET LINE

The SML graphs the results from the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) formula.

The x-axis represents the risk (beta), and the y-axis represents the expected return.

The market risk premium is determined from the slope of the SML.

The relationship between β and required return is plotted on the security market line

(SML) which shows expected return as a function of β. The intercept is the nominal

risk-free rate available for the market, while the slope is E(Rm)− Rf. The security

market line can be regarded as representing a single-factor model of the asset price,

where Beta is exposure to changes in value of the Market.

20

Page 23: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

A beta value less than 1 indicates the investment is less volatile than the

benchmark.  A beta value equal to 1 means the investment's volatility is the

same as the benchmark, and a beta greater than 1 means the investment is

more volatile.

Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility in relation to the market. By definition, the

market has a beta of 1.0, and individual stocks are ranked according to how much

they deviate from the market. A stock that swings more than the market over time

has a beta above 1.0. If a stock moves less than the market, the stock's beta is less

than 1.0. High-beta stocks are supposed to be riskier but provide a potential for

higher returns; low-beta stocks pose less risk but also lower returns.

Beta is a key component for the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), which is used

to calculate cost of equity. Recall that the cost of capital represents the discount rate

used to arrive at the present value of a company's future cash flows. All things being

equal, the higher a company's beta is, the higher its cost of capital discount rate. The

higher the discount rate, the lower the present value placed on the company's future

cash flows. In short, beta can impact a company's share valuation.

21

Advantages of Beta

Page 24: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

To followers of CAPM, beta is a useful measure. A stock's price variability is important to consider when assessing risk. Indeed, if you think about risk as the possibility of a stock losing its value, beta has appeal as a proxy for risk.

Intuitively, it makes plenty of sense. Think of an early-stage technology stock with a price that bounces up and down more than the market. It's hard not to think that stock will be riskier than, say, a safe-haven utility industry stock with a low beta.

Besides, beta offers a clear, quantifiable measure, which makes it easy to work with. Sure, there are variations on beta depending on things such as the market index used and the time period measured, but broadly speaking, the notion of beta is fairly straightforward to understand. It's a convenient measure that can be used to calculate the costs of equity used in a valuation method that discounts cash flows.

DISADVANTAGES OF BETA However, if you are investing in a stock's fundamentals, beta has plenty of shortcomings.

For starters, beta doesn't incorporate new information. Consider the electrical utility company American Electric Power (AEP). Historically, AEP has been considered a defensive stock with a low beta. But when it entered the merchant energy business and assumed high debt levels, AEP's historic beta no longer captured the substantial risks the company took on. At the same time, many technology stocks, such as Google, are so new to the market they have insufficient price history to establish a reliable beta. Another troubling factor is that past price movements are very poor predictors of the future. Betas are merely rear-view mirrors, reflecting very little of what lies ahead. Furthermore, the beta measure on a single stock tends to flip around over time, which makes it unreliable. Granted, for traders looking to buy and sell stocks within short time periods, beta is a fairly good risk metric. But for investors with long-term horizons, it's less useful.

LIMITATIONS

Sample size is of only 5 years.

Calculation is little bit time consuming.

Major Banks like Axis & Kotak Mahindra are not included because of

data unavailability.

Scope

With the help of this study An individual as well as organisational investor can select

the banking stock of their choice before investment. Also they can study the beta

distribution so calculated to gain better results from their stocks.

They can also judge the risk and return relation before going for a combination of

stocks.

I. HDFC BANK ( HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FINANCE

CORPORATION LIMITED)

HDFC Bank Ltd. (BSE: 500180, NYSE: HDB) is a major Indian financial

services company based in Mumbai, incorporated in August 1994, after the Reserve

Bank of India allowed establishing private sector banks. The Bank was promoted by

the Housing Development Finance Corporation, a premier housing finance company

(set up in 1977) of India. HDFC Bank has 1,412 branches and over 3,295 ATMs, in

528 cities in India, and all branches of the bank are linked on an online real-time

basis. As of September 30, 2008 the bank had total assets of INR 1006.82 billion.

For the fiscal year 2008-09, the bank has reported net profit of Rs.2,244.9 crore, up

41% from the previous fiscal. Total annual earnings of the bank increased by 58%

reaching at Rs.19,622.8 crore in 2008-09.

HISTORY

HDFC Bank was incorporated in the year of 1994 by Housing Development

Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC), India's premier housing finance company. It

was among the first companies to receive an 'in principle' approval from the Reserve

Bank of India (RBI) to set up a bank in the private sector. The Bank commenced its

operations as a Scheduled Commercial Bank in January 1995 with the help of RBI's

liberalization policies.

In a milestone transaction in the Indian banking industry, Times Bank Limited

(promoted by Bennett, Coleman & Co. / Times Group) was merged with HDFC Bank

Ltd., in 2000. This was the first merger of two private banks in India. As per the

scheme of amalgamation approved by the shareholders of both banks and the

Page 28: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

24

Reserve Bank of India, shareholders of Times Bank received 1 share of HDFC Bank

for every 5.75 shares of Times Bank.

Corporation of India)

on the stock exchanges at Kolkata and Vadodara, Mumbai and the National Stock

Exchange of India Limited; its ADRs trade on the New York Stock Exchange

Founded in 1955 as Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India,

ICICI Limited was established by the Government of India in the 1960s as a

Financial Institution like Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) to finance large

industrial projects . ICICI then, was not a bank and hence could not take retail

deposits and was not required to comply with Indian banking requirements for liquid

reserves. ICICI borrowed funds from various agencies like the World Bank, often at

Page 34: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

30

concessional rates. These funds were deployed in large corporate loans. However,

the scenario changed drastically in1990s when ICICI founded a separate legal entity

and named it "ICICI Bank". ICICI Bank, as the name would suggest, undertook

normal banking operations like accepting deposits, issuing credit cards, providing car

loans etc. The experiment was so successful that ICICI merged into ICICI Bank and

this "reverse merger" happened in 2002.

ICICI Bank (BSE: ICICI) (formerly Industrial Credit and Investment

Corporation of India) "ICICI Bank is India's second largest Bank with consolidated

total assets of over Rs. 470,000 crores and networth of over Rs. 50,000 crores. The

Bank's capital adequacy ratio of 15.6% is among the highest levels of capital

adequacy in large Indian banks and much higher than the regulatory requirement of

9.0%. ICICI Bank made a profit after tax of Rs. 4,158 crore (over US$ 850 million) in

FY2008 and Rs. 3,014 crore (US$ 619 million) in the nine months ended December

31, 2008."

ICICI Bank offers a wide range of banking products and financial services to

corporate and retail customers through a variety of delivery channels and specialised

subsidiaries and affiliates in the areas of investment banking, life and non-life

insurance, venture capital and asset management. ICICI Bank is also the largest

behemoth. With a retail book of over Rs 56,000 crore (Rs 560 billion) and a market

IV. SBIN (STATE BANK OF INDIA)

State Bank of India (SBI) (BSE: 500112, NSE: SBIN) is the largest banking

and financial services company in India, by almost every parameter - revenues,

profits, assets, market capitalization etc. The bank traces its ancestry to British India,

through the Imperial Bank of India, to the founding in 1806 of the Bank of Calcutta,

making it the oldest commercial bank in the Indian Subcontinent. The Government of

India nationalized the Imperial Bank of India in 1955, with the Reserve Bank of India

taking a 60% stake, and renamed it the State Bank of India. In 2008, the

Government took over the stake held by the Reserve Bank of India.

The evolution of State Bank of India can be traced back to the first decade of

the 19th century. It began with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta,

on 2 June 1806. The bank was redesigned as the Bank of Bengal, three years later,

on 2 January 1809. It was the first ever joint-stock bank of the British India,

established under the sponsorship of the Government of Bengal. Subsequently, the

Bank of Bombay (established on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (established

on 1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks dominated the

modern banking scenario in India, until when they were amalgamated to form the

Imperial Bank of India, on 27 January 1921. 

An important turning point in the history of State Bank of India is the launch of the

first Five Year Plan of independent India, in 1951. The Plan aimed at serving the

Indian economy in general and the rural sector of the country, in particular. Until the

Plan, the commercial banks of the country, including the Imperial Bank of India,

Page 51: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

confined their services to the urban sector. Moreover, they were not equipped to

respond to the growing needs of the economic revival taking shape in the rural areas

47

of the country. Therefore, in order to serve the economy as a whole and rural sector

in particular, the All India Rural Credit Survey Committee recommended the

formation of a state-partnered and state-sponsored bank. 

The All India Rural Credit Survey Committee proposed the takeover of the

Imperial Bank of India, and integrating with it, the former state-owned or state-

associate banks. Subsequently, an Act was passed in the Parliament of India in May

1955. As a result, the State Bank of India (SBI) was established on 1 July 1955. This

resulted in making the State Bank of India more powerful, because as much as a

quarter of the resources of the Indian banking system were controlled directly by the

State. Later on, the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed in 1959.

The Act enabled the State Bank of India to make the eight former State-associated

banks as its subsidiaries.  

The State Bank of India emerged as a pacesetter, with its operations

carried out by the 480 offices comprising branches, sub offices and three Local Head

Offices, inherited from the Imperial Bank. Instead of serving as mere repositories of

the community's savings and lending to creditworthy parties, the State Bank of India

catered to the needs of the customers, by banking purposefully. The bank served the

heterogeneous financial needs of the planned economic development.  

BRANCHES

The corporate centre of SBI is located in Mumbai. In order to cater to

Page 52: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

different functions, there are several other establishments in and outside Mumbai,

apart from the corporate center. The bank boasts of having as many as 14 local

48

head offices and 57 Zonal Offices, located at major cities throughout India. It is

recorded that SBI has about 10000 branches, well networked to cater to its

customers throughout India.  

ATM SERVICES

SBI provides easy access to money to its customers through more than

8500 ATMs in India. The Bank also facilitates the free transaction of money at the

ATMs of State Bank Group, which includes the ATMs of State Bank of India as well

as the Associate Banks – State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur, State Bank of Hyderabad,

State Bank of Indore, etc. You may also transact money through SBI Commercial

and International Bank Ltd by using the State Bank ATM-cum-Debit (Cash Plus)

card.

several non-banking subsidiaries. Through the establishments, it offers various

CALCULATION OF CORRELATION

*Data is attached in annexure.

RESULT FROM THE CALCULATION OF CORRELATION

In the calculation I have seen that correlation coefficient of HDFC is higher than

other banks (0.930) in last 5 years which shows that it is highly correlated with nifty.

So, whenever Nifty 50 moves up usually the share price of HDFC also moves up and

vice-versa. It means that in last 5 years it moves according to Nifty. In second place

correlation coefficient of SBIN is good it shows that SBIN is also highly correlated

with the Nifty 50 up’s & down’s in last 5 years analysis.

RESULT FROM THE CALCULATION OF RISK & RETURN

From the above calculation performance of HDFC Bank in last 5 years is better than

other banks because it is providing 36.44% of return at 45.58% risk. It means

providing good return at lower risk. At second place SBIN bank stand and provide

return of 35.25% at 51.85% risk.

In Risk & Return analysis we consider that script as best script which gave the

Maximum return at Minimum Risk. So from the data of 5 years HDFC bank is the

best script in terms of RISK & RETURN analysis.

RESULT FROM BETA CALCULATION

Page 67: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility in relation to the market. By definition, the

market has a beta of 1.0, and individual stocks are ranked according to how much

they deviate from the market. A stock that swings more than the market over time

has a beta above 1.0. If a stock moves less than the market, the stock's beta is less

than 1.0. High-beta stocks are supposed to be riskier but provide a potential for

higher returns; low-beta stocks pose less risk but also lower returns. Therefore,

investing in PNB would be much saver for the investors who aim at investing for long

durations as its beta is lowest, HDFC is also a good option for the investors who are

looking for a stock which is less risky in comparison to the other competitors and

offers high and timely returns. Whereas, ICICI is an aggressive stock whose beta is

almost double than the market beta.

Conclusion

65

Page 72: A Study of Best Performing Scripts of Nifty in Last 5 Year in Banking Sector

CONCLUSION

It's important for investors to make the distinction between short-term risk--

where beta and price volatility are useful--and longer-term, fundamental risk,

where big-picture risk factors are more telling. High betas may mean price

volatility over the near term, but they don't always rule out long-term

opportunities.

Inflation rate Of the Economy should Also Be Considered While investing.

 The stock prices Hit the top At the end of the financial year(refer to annexure
