Pandey, UjjwalKeywords: 'influencing investors investors banks commercial banks Nepal' Class number: 332.6 Abstract: Several studies on investors’ behavior have been conducted worldwide but very few studies have been carried out in developing economy like Nepal. Identification of factors affecting investors’ behavior is crucial for both commercial banks and shaping the economy of the country as well. The major objective of the study is to analyze the factors influencing investors’ behavior.
The reviews of literatures have shown relationship between various factors such as risk, self-image, recommendations, accounting information, market information, return etc. in both developing and developed countries. Based on the literature reviews, this study has proposed the conceptual framework indentifying market information, accounting information, bank’s image, perceived risk, advocate recommendation and expected return as the most important factors that determine the investors’ behavior in the context of Nepal.
The study is based on primary data. Primary survey questionnaire was conducted to assess the opinion of investors regarding the factors influencing investors’ behavior. For the study purpose 220 questionnaires was distributed to investors with the help of broker house and personal relations out of which 151 questionnaires were collected. For the sampling purpose, random sampling technique has been employed for the study. The Investors has been divided into three level; they are small investor, medium investor and large investor based on investment amount. The primary data was analyzed by using Percentage, mean and frequency distribution. Other statistical techniques such as Spearmen Correlation and chi- Square were also used for the analysis of primary data.
The study reveals that most of investors prefer to buy shares in primary market and most of them prefer to trade in both primary and secondary markets. The survey indicates that majority of Nepalese investors’ investment decisions on shares are based on anticipation of other individuals’ behavior. The tangible components such as capital gain and stock dividends and the intangible component like political and economic changes, level of risk and NEPSE trend are considered the top five most important factors for investment decisions as per the opinion of stock investors’. Likewise, stock investors prefer capital gain and stock dividends rather than the usual cash dividends and for long term investment purpose. Also, after the prior gain the investors become more risk seeking and are more inclined to investment in risky stocks for better return.
The recommendation put forward by this study is that investors should consults the brokers or agents to seek information and advice but their decision should not merely be based on agents advice rather the decision should be based on their careful investigation. Small investors’ participation in secondary market is very thin because they think that secondary market transactions are manipulated by few large investors. Therefore, regulating authorities are recommended to regulate corporate governance practices strictly to promote uninterrupted flow of information to investors. Stock prices in Nepal do not reflect efficient market information. Therefore, there is a need to establish information center that provides right information to investors’ for investment. Poor market intelligence and poor market performance are the two major factors that have caused loss in shares investment in Nepal. So the government should strengthen the information flow channel and discourage market monopoly.

Title : Factors influencing the interest setting behaviour of Nepalese commercial banks Material Type: printed text Authors: Bikash Yadav, Author Publication Date: 2018 Pagination: 98p. Size: GRP/Thesis Accompanying material: 11/B Languages : English Descriptors: Bank and banking
Banks
InvestorsKeywords: 'interest rate deposit rate inflation rate return on assets return on equity' Class number: 332.6 Abstract: The interest setting behavior is treated as an important indicator of intermediation efficiency. Banks’ interest rate represents a vital component of profitability and typified a summary measure of bank net interest rate of return. Interest rates are of significant importance for efficient mobilization of resources for economic and productive activities. In the economy market, the interest setting behavior is significantly influenced by a number of factors which include macroeconomic environment, inflation and the policy interest rate (Treasury bill rate). Higher interest rate usually implies lower baking sector efficiency, marked by higher costs due to inefficient control of operating expenses, and have a negative impact of financial developments, resulting with lower investments and slower economic activity.
The major purpose of this study is to identify the firm-specific and macroeconomic factors influencing the interest setting behavior of Nepalese commercial banks. The study has the following specific objectives is to analyze the impact of assets growth ratio, efficiency ratio and capital adequacy ratio in determining the interest rate, to determine the impact of return on assets on interest setting behavior and to examine the relationship between macro-economic factors such as GDP growth and inflation on interest setting behavior.
This study is based on secondary data which were gathering for a sample of 18 commercial banks of Nepal within the time period from 2010 to 2016, leading to total of 126 observations. The secondary data have been obtained from Nepal Rastra Bank bulletin published by central bank of Nepal, annual audited financial statements and websites of respective commercial banks. The polled cross-sectional data analysis has been undertaken in the study. The research design adopted in this study is casual comparative types as it deals with relationship of bank specific factors like capital adequacy ratio, credit risk, management efficiency, liquidity position, return on assets and growth and macro-economic variables like GDP growth and inflation with dependent variable such as: I1 (interest on deposit) and I2 (interest on loan). The statistical methods used in the analysis are descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis.
The result shows thatcapital adequacy ratio has negative relation to I1 (interest on deposit) and I2 (interest on loan). The beta coefficient of credit risk is positive and highly significant. Efficiency ratio has negative relation with interest rate. The beta coefficient of liquidity ratio is negative for I1 (interest on deposit) and positive for I2 (interest on loan). Return on assets has positive relationship with interest on deposit. The beta coefficient of return on assets is large and highly significant. In the contrast return on assets has negative relationship with interest on loan. The beta coefficient of assets growth ratio is large and highly significant. GDP growth has negative and insignificant relation with interest on deposit whereas positive and significant relation with interest on loan. The beta coefficient of inflation is small and highly insignificant for interest on deposit and significant for interest on loan.
The major conclusion of this study is thatinterest rateof Nepalese commercial banks is affected by bank-specific factors and macroeconomic factors. Credit risk and return on assets is an internal factor which holds a definitely significant positive effect on interest on deposit where as capital adequacy ratio, efficiency ratio, liquidity ratio, assets growth ratio, GDP growth rate and inflation is an internal factor which holds significant negative effect on interest on deposit. Credit risk, liquidity ratio, GDP growth rate and inflation is an internal factor which holds a definitely significant positive effect on interest on loan where as capital adequacy ratio, efficiency ratio, return on assets and assets growth ratio is an internal factor which holds significant negative effect on interest on loan.
The study also concludes that there are behaviors towards the commercial banks in Nepal, which always expects to maintain a stable interest rate at a certain level in the long term. Thus, the high interest rate is not defined as the low level of efficiency of Nepalese commercial banks, but rather reflects the high asymmetric information and the high level of profitability of the bank.
