    Volatility is a common phenomenon in the capital market of any country in the world. The presence of stock market volatility, persistence of volatility and risk in the stock market are relevant for Bangladesh as the country wants to achieve higher rates of opportunities, investment and economic growth. Bangladesh has enormous potentiality to attract the domestic and foreign investors' attention for a balanced economic growth. The interest of investors has arisen from the intensification of globalization and the greater integration of the world economies. ICB has been maintaining a highly accommodative, catalystic and holistic approach and policies to become the trend setter which is buttressed by its long experiences in the journey of the capital market development and operations in the country.

    Volatility and market efficiency are two important features of capital market which will ultimately determine the effectiveness of the capital market operations and economic development. Stock market, as an important segment of capital market, plays a pivotal role in the development of economy. If investors are not rewarded for taking higher risk by investing in the stock market or if excess volatility weakens investor's confidence, they will not feel motivated to invest their savings in the stock market and it will inevitably take a swipe at the economic boom and growth prospect. ICB has taken the key responsibility to incentivize the emergence of stock markets since it has a strong mission of social capital management in the business arena of the country. Social capital is the output of relationship of trust, social communications and the development of the society of which ICB has 39 years of glorious experience.

    Since the establishment of Dhaka Stock Exchange Ltd., the prime bourse of the country, ICB has been playing the key role in increasing the supply and demand of securities which are essential ingredients of capital market. ICB consortium, created comprising all nationalized banks and financial institutions, has paved the way for wadding the gap of equity, promoting entrepreneurship and supply of securities by providing assistance in different firms to bolster capital market. ICB consortium assisted companies dominated the primary role at the beginning of the stock exchange.ICB's pioneering role in stock market operation, broad basing investor's participation through launching of open and

    closed-end mutual funds, operations of margin accounts are some of the major initiatives that helped the development of stock exchanges. The forefront role of ICB in establishing the C e n t r a l D e p o s i t o r y B a n g l a d e s h Limited (CDBL), the first Credit Rating Company and the second Stock Exchange (CSE) as the stakeholders helped the stock exchanges in improving the reliability and quality of transactions on the bourses. ICB had also an important role in transferring the old-aged stock exchange from mutualised to demutualised stock exchanges. The new models of financing, trustee and custodian activities and other areas of merchant banking and mutual fund operations have been remarkable in all the way of its journey in the capital market development as the principal institution.

    ICB has established itself, internally and externally, as the trend setter which is underpinned by its strong fundamental, continuous innovation and sustainable management. It is widely accepted that economic and technical investments are two common parameters to reckon any organization's success. Accordingly, ICB is pressing ahead towards achieving the welfare based success. While ICB is striving continuously to register high performance, environmental and social goals reside in our paramount focus. Admittedly, this report illustrates the way we maintain a balance among financial, technical, environmental & social aspects of business. We are continuously delivering our commitments for a congenial ambience of investments and business amid formidable and cumbersome socio-economic challenges. Integrity & Ethics, Social Responsibility, Learning & Innovation, Team Work & Empowerment are our core values, where we have leading roles.

    As the trend setter ICB also works for stabilizing and growing stock market, mostly in issuing and trading securities which in the sense that it is projected to get the maximum returns on its own investment along with the investors of the capital market without compromising its approach towards risks. ICB has achieved the glory as the unique trend setter in the capital market which maintains a strong and diversified portfolio of listed and non-listed securities to absorb any kind of share market fluctuations. The Corporation's growth legacy, compliance, integrity, solid foundation and financial strength, reputation, innovative culture as well as safety attract the investor's attention for investment under the diversified umbrella of ICB which has inevitably paved the way for outstanding success and we have already established ourselves as an unbeatable trend setter time and again. Therefore, we can say unambiguously, the corporation is the trend setter and this has been proved in the capital market of Bangladesh several times and shall continue in future also.

    BackgroundIn the backdrop of rapid functional change in economic policy, the Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (ICB) was established on 1 October 1976 under "The Investment Corporation of Bangladesh Ordinance, 1976" (No. XL of 1976). The establishment of ICB was a major step in a series of measures undertaken by the government to accelerate the pace of industrialisation and to develop a well-organised and vibrant capital market, particularly the securities market in Bangladesh. ICB provides institutional support to meet the equity gap of the companies. In view of the national policy of accelerating the rate of savings and investment to foster self-reliant economy, ICB assumes an indispensable and pivotal role. Through the enactment of the Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (Amendment) Act, 2000 (No. 24 of 2000), reforms in operational strategies and business policies have been implemented by establishing and operating subsidiary companies under ICB. At present the Corporation is being operated under the "Investment Corporation of Bangladesh Act, 2014.
