FPIs & Macroeconomic VariablesTarang Gupta

Page 2: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

What are FPIs?In economics, foreign portfolio investment is the entry of funds into a country where foreigners deposit money in a country's bank or make purchases in the country’s stock and bond markets, sometimes for speculation.For example: Purchase of stocks by Ram in Barcelona.

1. Highly Liquid2. No Managerial Hold3. Foreign portfolio investment typically involves short-term positions in financial assets of international markets, and is similar to investing in domestic securities. FPI allows investors to take part in the profitability of firms operating abroad without having to directly manage their operations. This is a similar concept to trading domestically: most investors do not have the capital or expertise required to personally run the firms that they invest in.

FPIs- About

FPI Rules & Regulations (in India)

In order to harmonize the various available routes for foreign portfolio investment in India, the Indian securities market regulator i.e. Securities Exchange Board of India ("SEBI") has introduced a new class of foreign investors in India known as the Foreign Portfolio Investors ("FPIs"). This class has been formed by merging the existing classes of investors through which portfolio investments were previously made in India namely

1. Foreign Institutional Investors ("FIIs"), 2. Qualified Foreign Investors ("QFIs") 3. Sub-accounts of the FIIs.

Page 4: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

Previously portfolio investment was governed under different laws i.e. the SEBI (Foreign Institutional Investors) Regulations, 1995 for FIIs and their sub-accounts and SEBI circulars dated August 09, 2011 and January 13, 2012 governing QFIs, which are now repealed under the SEBI (Foreign Portfolio Investors) Regulations ("FPI Regulations") that govern FPIs.

SEBI has, thus, intended to simplify the overall operation of making foreign portfolio investments in India. To govern FPIs, SEBI introduced the FPI Regulations by a notification dated January 7, 2014.

Classification based registration of investors

Under FPI Regulation 5 the following three categories of FPIs have been created on the basis of associated risks -

(a). Category I - Includes foreign investors related with the government such as central banks, government agencies, sovereign wealth funds.

(b). Category II - Includes regulated entities like banks, assets management companies, investment managers etc. and broad-based funds, which may be regulated such as mutual funds, investment trusts etc. or non-regulated.

(c). Category III - Includes investors, which are not covered under categories I and II.

Page 6: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

The registration requirements are progressively difficult depending on the category under which the investor falls with easiest formalities for category I investors.

Unlike the previous situation wherein the QFIs, FIIs and their sub-accounts were required to register with SEBI for 1-5 years initially to operate, FPIs registration is carried out by SEBI designated depository participants ("DDPs") on permanent basis unless suspended or cancelled.

Page 7: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

Eligibility criteria for FPIs FPI Regulation prescribes the mandatory eligible criteria for registration as

FPI. 1. The applicant must be a non-resident in India but non-resident Indians

("NRIs") are specifically prohibited. However, a fund having NRIs as its investors can operate as a FPI as stated by SEBI.

2. The applicant is required to be a resident of a country which meets the following criteria- 1.Its securities market regulator is a signatory to the International Organization of Securities Commission's Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding or party to an MOU with SEBI. 2.Whose central bank is a member of the Bank for International Settlements in case if the applicant is a bank. 3.Not mentioned in the public statement of Financial Action Task Force as a country having issues related to combating financing of terrorism or money laundering.

Instruments available for investment and prescribed limits

FPIs can invest in instruments-

1. Listed or to be listed shares,

2. Government securities,

3. Units of mutual funds or collective investment schemes,

4. Treasury bills,

5. Corporate debts.

6. Indian depository receipts. For foreign corporates and foreign individuals, the investment limit now stands

increased from 5 to 10% of a company's total issued capital. Also, investment in equity shares which was previously permissible up to 10% of a company's total issued capital is now restricted to below 10%.

Page 9: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

FPI Regulation 22 has brought a major change relating to issuance of Offshore Derivative Instruments ("ODIs"). ODIs are significant because they allow foreign investors, such as high net worth individuals and hedge funds based overseas, to invest in the Indian market without being registered with the SEBI. Now, only FPIs, which are regulated and also fall under Category I or II can issue ODIs.

With the ease in registration requirements and clarity on taxation being brought in for FPIs, the new FPI regime is likely to boost portfolio investments in India by foreign investors. Granting of permanent registrations to FPIs shall not require them to approach the DDPs time and again for the same, thus, providing them a more supportive environment for investment in India. Meanwhile, with the delegation of work to DDPs, SEBI can now focus on more important issues at hand requiring its attention and perform its regulatory role more effectively.

The inflow of FPI can provide a developing country non-debt creating source of foreign investment.

FPI gives an upward thrust to the domestic stock market prices.

Increased inflow of foreign capital increases the allocative efficiency of capital in a country.

How Foreign Portfolio Flow can help an Economy?

Page 11: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

The advent of portfolio investment can supplement domestic saving for improving the investment rate.

By providing foreign exchange to the developing countries, FPI also reduces the pressure of foreign exchange gap for the LDCs, thus making imports of necessary investment goods easy for them.

How does FPI develop non debt creating source of foreign investment?

Page 12: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

FPI induces financial resources to flow from capital-abundant countries, where expected returns are low, to capital-scarce countries, where expected returns are high.

The flow of resources into the capital-scarce countries reduces their cost of capital, increases investment, and raises output.

It is also sometimes believed that portfolio investment does not result in a more efficient allocation of capital, because international capital flows have little or no connection to real economic activity. Consequently portfolio investment has no effect on investment, output, or any other real variable with nontrivial welfare implications.

How does inflow of foreign capital increase the allocative efficiency of capital in a country?

Page 13: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

FPI gives an upward thrust to the domestic stock market prices. This has an impact on the price-earning ratios of the firms. A higher P/E ratio leads to a lower cost of finance, which in turn can lead to a higher amount of investment. The lower cost of capital and a booming share market can encourage new equity issues.

The equity investment may not always lead to an increase in real investment in the private sector. This is simply because most stock purchases are on the secondary market rather than the purchase of newly issued shares. The first impact is to increase the price of the shares rather than the flow of funds to the companies that wish to increase investment. Increased wealth of local investors may actually increase consumption.

How does FPI affect the domestic stock market prices?

Page 14: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

FPI also has the virtue of stimulating the development of the domestic stock market. The catalyst for this development is competition from foreign financial institutions. This competition necessitates the importation of more sophisticated financial technology, adaptation of the technology to local environment and greater investment in information processing and financial services. The results are greater efficiencies in allocating capital, risk sharing and monitoring the issue of capital.

This enhancement of efficiency due to internationalization makes the market more liquid, which leads to a lower cost of capital.

A well-developed stock market has its impact on the demand side also. It provides investors with an array of assets with varying degree of risk, return and liquidity. This increased choice of assets and the existence of a vibrant stock market provide savers with more liquidity and options, thereby inducing more savings.

Macroeconomic Variables – Impact on FPIs (Indian Perspective)

Page 16: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

The movement of Foreign Portfolio Investments in an economy is determined by a host of macroeconomic factors which include prices, interest yields, economic growth etc.

However the impact of these factors is not absolute, a lot of external events also have a considerable influence on these movements. A change in government policies, a major event in the world economy, a social unrest in the domestic country and similar disturbances have the potential to re-route the FPI inflows and outflows of a country even when all its macroeconomic variables are satisfactory.

Page 17: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

Exchange Rate

Exchange rate refers to the value of domestic currency in terms of a foreign currency. Such as rupee per dollar or rupee per euro or dollar per euro.

A change in the exchange rate is inversely proportional to the change in FPI inflows. This happens because an increase in the foreign exchange rate or depreciation in the domestic currency leads to a reduction in the returns of the foreign investors & vice-versa.

Example – Jack a foreign investor invests $100 in India when the rupee/dollar exchange rate is 60 i.e Rs.6000. Due to some emergency he decides to withdraw this $100 but he receives only $92. This happened because in the meantime the rupee/dollar exchange rate went up by 5 to 65, thereby eroding the value of his investments.

Page 18: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta
Page 19: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

Gross Domestic Product Change in real GDP is directly proportional to Foreign Portfolio

Investments inflows. A stable and sustained growth in GDP shows an overall growth in

the country’s industries. This indicates adequate demand level in the economy and willingness of people to spend which incentivises producers to think of increasing production & expanding production capacity.

This has a bearing on the individual firms involved in various industries with many of them witnessing increased profits & stock price appreciation.

Page 20: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

Stock Indices Stock Indices like BSE Sensex, Nifty, DOW Jones are representative of the

general condition of a country’s stock/financial markets. An increase in the value of these indices signals a strong financial market. A

sustained rise in the stock indices of a country attracts FPIs as it represents strong demand and liquidity in the financial markets generally accompanied by high volumes.

FPI inflows further give a boost to these markets as they create demand in the market. However, if the markets start falling due to some external factors the capital flight in the form of FPIs can cause the markets to fall further due to creation of excess supply.

Page 21: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

• Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) hold a larger stake in listed Indian companies (10.45%) than the combined stake of Indian Mutual Funds (2.68%) and Indian Financial Institutions/Insurance Companies (5.32%).

Page 22: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

Inflation Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in the general price of goods &

services in an economy. An increasing rate of inflation is likely to drive out foreign investors from the

economy because the return on their investments decreases with an increase in the general price level. If the inflation rate in the country is increasing, then the value of the foreign investments is dwindling because the domestic currency is depreciating in real value.

However a controlled rate of inflation is desirable as it promotes growth in the economy & acts as a safeguard for the economy against depression.

Page 23: Fpi ppt  tarang gupta

Government Treasury Yields

Government treasury yields refer to the interest being paid by the government on government debt instruments such as bonds.

These have a direct relationship with FPI inflows as a higher interest rate is attractive for foreign investors & so they are more likely to invest in these debt instruments compared to the debt instruments of their or other countries with a lower interest rate.

However the real return on these debt instruments depend on their market prices, with an increase in market price leading to a fall in the real return and vice-versa.

Major Events Impacting FPIs

January-March – No major external influences but decrease in monthly net inflows due to strong performance by other Asian economies, especially China.

April-May – Uncertainty over the imposition of MAT on foreign investors. May-June – Government decides against charging MAT on profits of foreign

investors. July-August – China devalues Yuan. Economic growth revealed to be lower than

the previous quarter. Manufacturing sector growth slows in August. September – Uncertainty over US rate cut clears. RBI announces repo rate cut.

Chinese economy struggles.
