Analyzing the Risk-Return Tradeoff in Commercial Banks' Common Stock: A Case Study of Nepalese Banks

This study investigates the risk-return tradeoff in the common stock of Nepalese commercial banks over a five-year period from 2018/19 to 2022/23. By analyzing financial data from four prominent banks listed on the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) i.e. Global IME Bank Limited (GBIME), Nepal Investment Mega Bank (NIMB), Nabil Bank Limited (NABIL), and Kumari Bank Limited (KBL). The study depends on the closing prices of these four commercial banks, which were generously provided through the NEPSE Index and annual general meeting (AGM) reports of each respective bank. The research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of their risk profiles and expected returns using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The study employs descriptive statistics like mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and maximum/minimum returns. The findings reveal significant variations in performance and risk levels: GBIME and KBL show positive average returns with high volatility, whereas NIMB and NABIL exhibit negative average returns, indicating losses. GBIME’s stock is slightly less volatile than the market, while NIMB’s low beta suggests it is suitable for conservative investors. NABIL’s and KBL’s higher betas indicate more volatility, appealing to high-risk tolerant investors. The study underscores the importance of portfolio diversification and continuous monitoring of market conditions for informed investment decisions. These insights are valuable for investors, financial regulators, and policymakers in developing effective risk management strategies and enhancing financial stability in Nepal's banking sector.

From hostility to hospitality feeling my way towards a theological reimagining of incarceration

ABSTRACT There is a crisis in prisons across England and Wales. Rather than being places of rehabilitation they have recently been described as ‘warehouses of despair, danger, and degradation’ [All-Party Parliamentary Group on Penal Affairs 2023, “Minutes of the Annual General Meeting.” Prison Reform Trust, 5]. Using practical theology’s interdisciplinary approach to engage with context and practice, this article is a theological reflection that seeks to reimagine a less hostile and more hospitable form of imprisonment that better fosters human flourishing. The Parable of the Prodigal Son provides a theological lens which foregrounds the compassion at the heart of hospitality. This understanding is brought into conversation with the lived experience of incarcerated people and the author’s own experiences as a prison chaplain. The article will conclude with two examples from the penal context of where the intentional practice of hospitable humane regard has been rehabilitatively transformative.

Shareholders’ Monitoring and Online Disclosures of Minutes of Shareholders’ Meeting

Making detailed annual general meeting (AGM) minutes available online allows absentee investors to understand the discussion that took place during the AGM, and other interested parties to gauge the intensity of investor activism and stakeholder engagement from the questions posed. This paper investigated the effects of shareholders’ monitoring through the Minority Shareholders Watch Group (MSWG), the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), and other government-linked institutions on corporate communication via minutes of shareholders’ meeting. This study also incorporated firm size, audit quality, profitability, and grey directors as control variables. Based on a sample of 261 listed firms with financial year ended 31 December 2016 who held their AGMs in 2017, the findings showed that shareholders’ monitoring through the MSWG, EPF, and other government- linked institutions were significant and positively associated with corporate transparency. This implies that minority and institutional shareholders’ activism can be the advocate in pushing for dissemination of online corporate disclosure to enhance the information environment, in align with agency theory.

Indigenous activism debut in Brazil: the case of Rumo

Learning outcomes By the end of the case study discussion, it is expected that students will have learned to assess what makes it likely that firms will respond to episodes of stakeholder activism; establish the interplay between nonmarket strategies and corporate governance mechanisms in assessing shareholder activism; explain about the board of directors as a corporate governance mechanism; evaluate the threats of nonmarket dimensions as a strategic response from the board; and understand the impact and increasing power of shareholders over board decisions. Case overview/synopsis In April 2019, to pressure Rumo S.A. regarding the duplication of the Itirapina–Cubatão railroad, indigenous peoples from 12 São Paulo villages bought six Rumo shares, which were quoted on Tuesday, April 23, 2019, at around BRL17 each. Duplication of the railroad started in 2011 and affected the lives of the Indians. The company promised to implement more than 100 improvements to the villages, but as of 2019, half of the improvements were at a standstill. After buying enough shares to entitle them to participate in the annual general meeting (AGM) of shareholders, the Indians went to Rumo’s AGM to voice their concerns and show how the villages had been affected. It was the audit committee that needed to discuss and solve the case of the indigenous peoples. What steps would Rumo take next? What was the best thing to do with regard to the claims of the Indians? This case shows the start of corporate activism in Brazil. This case reports the dilemma that Rumo faced with the indigenous activism at the beginning of 2019 because of the expansion of their railroad network across indigenous lands. Complexity academic level This case is suited for a class in which the students are exposed to a corporate governance framework and internal and external governance mechanisms. The case can be applied at the graduate and executive levels in relevant courses such as corporate governance, corporate responsibility, strategic management, and the stock market.

Peran Pengendali Dalam Melindungi Kepentingan Investor Melalui Pelaksanaan Prinsip Tata Kelola Perusahaan Yang Baik

<p>The aim of this study is to find out and analyze the role of controllers in protecting the interests of publicly-listed company investors by ensuring the implementation of good corporate governance principles. The delay of the implementation of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and the publication of annual financial statements are two examples of non-fulfillment of the principles of good corporate governance namely transparency and accountability, which resulting temporary suspending trading of its shares by Indonesia Stock Exchange. When the role of the controller as shareholder who has the ability to control the company is ineffective because the shareholding of the company is less than 50%, the undertake of investors protection become an issue. This research was conducted based on a juridical-normative approach with analytical descriptive specifications based on secondary data. The results of this study revealed that the controller has several mechanisms to control the company to reduce losses for shareholders. However, the determination of a controller with less than 50% shareholding of the company’s shares results in the controlling role towards the company become ineffective and potentially detrimental to the interests of investors. The difference between this research and the previous lies in the object of this study which discusses the role of controllers in ensuring the fulfillment of the principles of good corporate governance so that they can provide protection to investors.</p>

The Whole Is Greater Than The Sum of Its Parts: Large-scale Phenomena Arising from Small-Scale Biophysical Processes.

The symposium "Large-scale biological phenomena arising from small-scale biophysical processes" at the SICB 2023 Annual General Meeting focused on the cross-disciplinary exploration of emergent phenomena in biology. Interactions between cells or organisms at small scales within a system can govern patterns occurring at larger scales in space, time, or biological complexity. This theme recurs in many sub-disciplines of biology, including cell and developmental biology, evolution, and ecology. This symposium, and the associated special issue introduced here, showcases a wide range of cross-disciplinary collaborations among biologists, physicists, and engineers. Technological advancements in microscopy and microfluidics, as well as complementary advances in mathematical modelling and associated theory demonstrate the timeliness of this issue. This introduction seeks to provide useful background information to place the studies within this issue in a broader biophysical context and highlight similarities in ideas and approaches across systems and sub-disciplines. We hope to demonstrate that cross-disciplinary research linking small-scale biophysics to larger-scale emergent phenomena can help us understand problems ranging from single-cell behaviors to tissue formation and function, evolution of form, and the dynamics of communities.

Shareholder or Investment Account Holder Interest: Which One Does Management of Islamic Banks Pay Attention to?

Governance and performance studies are often viewed from the perspective of shareholders, including in Islamic banks. However, the Investment Account Holders (IAH) are equally important stakeholders. Profit-sharing contracts, the absence of representation in the Annual General Meeting, and larger fund amount place the IAH at greater risk. In reality, the impact of governance should also prioritize protecting their interests. This study examines the effect of implementing corporate governance on the performance of Islamic banks from the perspective of shareholders and IAHs. This study tabulates data from the annual reports of 14 Indonesian Islamic banks. This research has found that Islamic bank governance has no effect on performance from the perspective of IAHs. On the other hand, governance can significantly influence performance from a shareholder perspective. From the perspective of stakeholder theory, these findings explain that Islamic banks have not made IAHs the main party to pay attention to. Business policies and strategies that are overseen by corporate governance have not had an impact on wider stakeholders. The IAHs in Islamic banks should also be categorized as key stakeholders.
