History And Significance Of Property Stock In Malaysia Finance Essay

Published: November 26, 2015 Words: 7360

With investors having an increased appetite for property in recent years, this has resulted in significant growth in assets under management for the major property fund managers and global property securities funds. These significant capital inflows and increased competition for property assets have seen yield compression in the major mature property markets in 2005-2007, with a resulting increased focus on the potential strategic role for international property investment. Major factors also contributing to this increased international property exposure have included the need for portfolio diversification, potential for higher returns, lower cost of capital and favourable exchange rates. Recent studies have also highlighted the portfolio diversification benefits of international direct and indirect property in a mixed-asset portfolio.

Since the property market recovery in 1988-89, the number of listed property companies has doubled in numbers on the Property Sector of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE). Despite the increase in the number of property companies, the market capitalisation of the Property Sector has increased by a mere 13.8% over 1989 .This is in contrast with the pre-currency crisis of RM57.8 billion market capitalisation of the Property Sector in 1996. Among the property asset intensive sectors, the market capitalisation of the Property Sector is about the same size as the Plantation Sector as at end 2000. It is interesting to note that the market capitalisation of the Property Sector moves in tandem closely to that of the Plantation Sector. Currently, there are 86 property companies listed on the Main Market. Most of these companies are active as property development companies carrying out housing development. Property shares are popular among investors particular small investors.

Property stocks is real estate investments that characterized as illiquid, expensive, having long market cycles, and having values that are hard to appraise. We raise the question of whether investors react differently to securitized real estate investments. In particular, we choose two aspects of investors' behavior, namely herding and positive feedback trading. From the market microstructure point of view, we empirically study how investors invest on securitized real estate investments, and compare the herd behavior and positive feedback trading with those in other securities.

In 1998, Malaysia once again facing a very bad financial crisis. At that time, a lot of business need to be closed and people are more saving rather than spending their money. What happens to the property market at that time? Is it property market also affected or not? Head of the International Monetary Funds (IMF), Michel Camdessus publicly stated in a speech on 17th June 1997 that "Malaysia is a good example of a country where the authorities are well aware of the challenges of managing the pressures that result from high growth and of maintaining a sound financial system amidst substantial capital flows and the booming property market. When the economy is down, people take a careful look at their investments. Prior to choosing to invest further, so too must they consider their alternatives. Two popular investment alternatives are leveraged investments in either properties or shares. All leveraged investments are not made alike, though.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

As we know many investors predict the market outlook for property sector in 2011 is expected to be risen from 2010 as their confidence towards Malaysia's strong fundamental will make property sector more attractive. Besides, government planned to encourage property companies by injected huge investment as to increase the employment opportunity and for further economy expansion. Therefore, the main objective for this study is to get the best portfolio selection for properties sector investment by determining the risk and return of each property company listed in the main market.

Using six methods of study which are Treynor index, Jensen Alpha index, Sharpe index, Adjusted Jensen Alpha, Adjusted Sharpe and Information Ratio to find the return of risk and return for each property stock and rating from outperform to underperform stock. Then we will select the best three stocks to include in the portfolio selection. This study will help the investors to make the right and accurate decisions towards their investment in this sector. The closing price of 86 property companies will be collected and analyzed to solve the objectives of study.

1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

Investment in property sectors can be classified as the fundamental investment decision where normally they put their money in long term and hope for the price to boost up later. The adjustment of property investment structure in Malaysia is a part of the overall change in the economic and industrial structure in Malaysia. Owing to enormous restructuring of global economics as well as constraints from land supply, funding, raw materials and water sources in Malaysia, it becomes a focus of world attention as to how to make full use of rare sources in Malaysia. The property industry has been considered in Malaysia as backbone industry in its present economic development and therefore the importance of adjusting the property investment structure is obvious. Through this study we are interested to know which property stocks are underperform and outperform as well as which stocks has the highest ranking for six years time. In addition, the study will help us to determine the best portfolio selection for property sector by using correlational study of six methods.

1.3 RESEARCH QUESTION

In this study, there are several research questions that has been developed regarding the problem statement occurred. The research questions for this project attempts to answer are as follows:

1. Whether the performance of the stock is outperform or underperform?

2. Which stock is the highest ranking?

3. Which stock to be selected?

1.4 OBJECTIVE OF STUDY

Through this study, there a few objectives of this research. They are:

1. To identify the performance of properties stock in Malaysia.

2. To find the properties stock that most stable.

1.5 SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY

A few numbers of studies in property stocks in Malaysia have been conducted. Most of the study is identify on property management, valuation and also constructing and updating property price index series. Only a small number of international studies that focusing on the determinants of property portfolio selection in Malaysia. This study will give significant to the other researcher consecutively to get the some idea for further research on this sector. Other than that, it hopes that the researcher will get a better understanding about the determinants of property stocks performance and researcher also hopes to get some additional knowledge in gathering the information about the Malaysian properties stocks. Beside this study will help investors to make the right investment decision and track market opportunities as it provides the best portfolio selection based on the stocks performance by tracking their risk and return for the investment. For students, the study can help to increase their knowledge towards the equities market movement especially on property stocks. This will facilitate the property companies itself to improve themselves as well as for further research and design.

1.6 SCOPE OF STUDY

The scope of this study would cover the stock prices of the properties company listed in Bursa Malaysia. There are 86 property companies that listed in Main Market. Most of these companies are active as property development companies carrying out housing development.

Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) and Treasury Bills acts as benchmark for each company that will determine their return and also with the risk. Return and risk for each property stock will determine the rank for each company and the stock to be selected.

While, this study will cover from year 2005-2010. All the data which is from January until December for each years get from Bursa Malaysia to ensure their accuracy. Inaccuracy of data will influence to the misleading of this research.

1.7 LIMITATION OF STUDY

In this research there are several variables may empirical to the research and also can considered but beyond the control of the researcher. There are:

1.7.1 Data accuracy

Most of the information in this study is mainly gathered from various secondary data such as websites, published newspapers and journals. Their accuracy and reliability heavily depends on the accuracy of the published materials.

Range of Period

Since the study focus on financial crises period, the researcher faced difficulty in choosing the range of period because financial crises sometimes occurred more than one year. The researcher use one year daily market index in this study, and the researcher feel ambiguity whether to choose the first year or the one year before financial crises recover as range of the period for this study.

1.8 DEFINITION OF TERMS

1.8.1 Return

The gain or loss of a security in a particular period. The return consists of the income and the capital gains relative on an investment. It is usually quoted as a percentage.

1.8.2 Risk

The chance that an investment's actual return will be different than expected. Risk includes the possibility of losing some or all of the original investment.

1.8.3 Property

The rights that one individual has in lands or goods to the exclusion of all others; rights gained from the ownership of wealth.

1.8.4 Stock

A type of security that signifies ownership in a corporation and represents a claim on part of the corporation's assets and earnings.

1.8.5 Volatility

A statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. Volatility can either be measured by using the standard deviation or variance between returns from that same security or market index

1.8.6 Capitalisation

In finance, a process whereby anticipated future income is converted to one lump sum capital value.

1.9 SUMMARY

In price discovery process, price movements of stocks reflect the information flows of

direct investment by companies. In addition, market efficiency is a pivot in determining whether the stock prices correctly reflect the fundamental prices of the underlying assets. This however is under the assumption that the market is affected by rational market participants who form rational expectations of future perspectives and discount all market information into expected prices simultaneously. On the other hand, it is widely known that herding and positive feedback trading are potential causes of some phenomena in financial markets such as asset price momentum, excess volatility and bubbles.

Then, researcher was contributed the statement of the research problem, objective of the study has specific, identify the element scope of the study, describe the significant of the study can contribute, and the key terms that used in this study. Few economic variables are taken to test whether there are any significant correlation between the dependent and independent variables. The dependent variable used in this study is stock price and the independent variables are recession, interest rate and inflation rate.

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

INTRODUCTION

In this chapter, the researcher has searched some of research that is relevant to the topic study. More studies on the portfolio selection strategies using other method such as robust, correlational method and etc. Less studied has be done for Sharpe, Jensen, Treynor and more over no studies pertaining property selection strategies has been conducted recently. As we know selecting the property stock need an analytical strategies because of huge investment will be injected to buy the property. The risk of the property investment is depends on the market growth among other sectors as well as the economic sector. By measuring the property stocks performance, it will help investors to make an accurate investment decision which companies in Malaysia will be selected as the best portfolio strategies. Other than that, it will give investors some clear picture of the stocks risk level to measure their risk tolerance. By making comparison of the studies that had been conducted by some researchers, it will help to solve the research problem as well as meet the objectives of the studies.

.2.1 PREVIOUS STUDY

There are limited numbers of literature available on properties stock selection in Malaysia using Treynor, Alpha Jensen, Adjusted Alpha, Adjusted Jensen, Information Ratio and Simple Sharpe Portfolio Optimization. As we know investors will only take the risk based on their objectives and risk tolerance. The property stock is said to more risky when the risk is higher and the return is lower. The more risk-averse individuals should have selected lower-volatility stocks. The predictions of the preferred risk habitat hypothesis are consistent with the observations by Dorn and Huberman (2009) which include: (1) These portfolios contain highly similar stocks in terms of volatility. (2) When these stocks are sold they are replaced by stocks of similar volatility. Since portfolio volatility remains about the same after investors rearrange their.

Some of the studies for properties made by other researchers is focusing on the portfolio design for investment companies through scenario where conducted by Payam Hanafizadeh*, Abolfazl Kazazi and Azam Jalili Bolhasani (2008). They found that The dynamicity of today's environment in which organizations operate gives rise to many uncertainties. Accordingly, the portfolio strategy performance of the country is impacted by the dynamicity of the environment. The main objective of portfolio design is to determine the right combination of profitable industries which enable the organization to achieve its expectations of the investment strategy. The present financial methods for selecting portfolio have lost their efficiency in today's uncertain and agitated environment. The concern for better decision making in portfolio diversification has received worldwide attention, especially in the developed countries. This is in realization of the fact that investment scene (property investment inclusive) throughout the world is characterized by risk and uncertainty and ignoring them may bring peril. Arising from the need to address the problem of risk and uncertainty, the pattern of investment has changed substantially and investors have seen the safety aspect of diversification as risk may be reduced by a trade-off with return.

In this study we calculate the average return, market return, beta and standard deviation. This risk is derived from downside frequency, mean downside deviation and downside magnitude, and DRO is to prevent the portfolio from frequently performing too poorly (Swisher and Kasten, 2005). The investor's tolerance for such risk may be assessed based on how often and how much he/she might lose, and should such losses occur, how long it will take the portfolio to recover. Following the DRO principle, a preferred strategy by investors in a downside market would be to trade frequently, in order to avoid a constant losing streak. This could also produce a steady stream of cash flow even if gains are insignificant. It is normal for investors to be wary of the unknown.

In like manner, the drive towards the integration of quantitative strategies, as developed under Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), into property portfolio diversification and management has increased. In the United States, United Kingdom, and Hong Kong, for example, studies such as Adair, McGreal, and Webb (2006), Lee (2005), Liow, Ooi, and Gong (2005) Bond, Karol3à, and Sanders (2003), Steinert and Crowe (2001), Conover, Friday, and Sirmans (2002) Brown, Li, and Lusht (2000), Cheng and Liang (2000), Viezer (2000) Kuhle, and Walther (1987), Mueller (1993), Wilhams (1996)Miles and McCue (1982), have evaluated and determined the benefits of various diversification strategies to their investors. These studies have shown that different diversification strategies come with different portfolio benefits. Therefore, the question of how best to allocate investment funds within real estate portfolio to achieve optimal return/risk performance is not ambiguous to investors in these countries.

SUMMARY

In this chapter, show that the keys of literature review based on study. There are includes determinants of properties stock selection by previous study. There are only a small number of international studies about forecasting on optimization strategy that prove helpful as a guideline to this study. The literature review in this study was referred, researcher was used a secondary data. Secondary data for this research was gathered from textbooks, journals, and other references in the library. Based on the review of key studies, on portfolio of properties stock was positively related with Treynor, Jenson, Sharpe, Alpha, Information ration and adjusted Sharpe and Jensen Alpha it will help to give clear idea for this study.

3.7 DATA ANALYSIS AND TREATMENT

After all the data and information had been gathered through the data collection method, the process of analyzes a data and finding analysis is begin. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) Method is a method originated by Legendre, which refers to the process of estimating the unknown parameters of a model by minimizing the sum of squared differences between the observed values of a random variable and the values predicted by the model. If every observation is given equal weight then this is ordinary least squares.

Ordinary least square method is the regression that are run to get alpha and beta value.

Represent market return

Y= α + βx

Represent companies stock

There are six performance test that will be used, which is:

Treynor Performance Measurement

-This theory explain and analyse the return in relation to market risk, it measuring the return adjusted with systematic risk represent by Beta (β). The higher the ratio obtained, the better the performance of the fund.

(R i - R f) / ß i

Where : Ri is the fund return

Rf is Risk free rate of return

ßi is the Beta

Jensen Alpha

α = Ri - [Rf + β . (Rm − Rf )]

- Jensen Alpha is used to determine the abnormal return of a security or portfolio of securities over the theoretical expected return. The theoretical return is predicted by a market model, most commonly the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) model.

where : Ri is the fund return

Rf is the risk free rate

Rm is the market return

β is the fund Beta

Sharpe Performance Measurement

Ri-Rf /σi

-Sharpe measure is the most widely used method to measure performance of stocks or funds. It measures the excess return per unit of risk in a trading of funds.

Ri-Rf /σi

Where : R is the fund return,

Rf is the risk free rate of return,

σi is the standard deviation of the asset excess return.

Information Ratio

-The Information ratio is a measure of the risk-adjusted return of a financial security. It is defined as expected active return divided by tracking error, where active return is the difference between the return of the security and the return of a selected benchmark index, and tracking error is the standard deviation of the active return. The information ratio IR is:

,

Where: R is the fund return

Rb is the benchmark return

α = E[R − Rb] is the expected value of the active return,

ω = σ is the standard deviation of the active return, which is an alternate definition of the aforementioned tracking error.

Adjusted Jensen Alpha

Adjusted Jensen Alpha: αp / βp

-the portfolio is said to have a fair performance when alpha is zero or not significantly different from zero. However this index cannot be used to compare the performance of different portfolios with different level of systematic risk and therefore the Adjusted Jensen Alpha was computed as follows:

Adjusted Sharpe

-The Sharp index uses standard deviation and a small number of observations can create a bias. Jacobson and Korkie (1983) modified the Sharpe's index to eliminate the bias. The Adjusted Sharpe Index is expressed as follows:

ASi = Si Ã- no of observation / no of observation + 0.75

Sharpe optimization uses a single index model to generate variance covariance structures.This model not only allows one to determine which securities are included in an optimal portfolio but also how much to invest in each. Furthermore, the technique allows the definition of a cut-off rate defined solely in terms of the characteristics of the individual security, such that the impact on the optimal portfolio of the introduction of any new security into the manager's decision set can quickly and easily be seen.

3.8 SUMMARY

In this chapter, it will provide the research design that will be used in this study, reviews all parts of theoretical framework and research methodology will be using in this study. With theoretical framework provides properties company stock price, 6 performance test and the stock selection. Although in part of methodology was describes how research approach is adopted in the study, the data that was collected for this study and statistical methods to be use in analyzing the data. The study aims to to identify the performance of the properties stock in Malaysia. This research will be done in accordance to the objective where to know the properties stock that most stable and also the performance of Malaysia properties stock. This information will perhaps can be used by the future researcher and also customer for them to make some financing and investment decisions. Since study focuses on the data from 2005 until 2010, if would give a better picture on the decision of the customer to make the correct choice on their financing planning.

REGRESSION

R2= 0.25

Coefficient of determination (R2) is a measure of how much the variability in the outcome is accounted for by the variables. The higher the value R², the higher explanatory power of the estimated equation and it is more accurate for forecasting purpose. The value of R-square (R2) will indicates the proportion of the total variation in the independent variable. The higher the value of R2, the better the explanation will be. For this study, (R2) is standardized at 0.25. This means there is about 25% of performance of the property companies is explained by variables and another 75% indicates that values of (R2) are explained by other variables that are needed to fit the data.

After get all the data, the next step is to find alpha (α), beta (β) and coefficient of determination (R2). Coefficient of determination (R2) of each companies will determined whether that companies to be calculated on performance test or not.

Establishing a C-value. The optimum portfolio consists of stocks which a c-value is lower than a particular cutoff point. The cutoff point is determined by looking at the highest c.

Once we know which securities are to be included in the optimum potfolio, we must calculate the percent invested in each security.

CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

5.0 CONCLUSION

As a conclusion, we can conclude that only 12 from 86 property companies in Malaysia was outperform from period 2005-2010. By referring to the statistic, it shows that probability to make a profit from property stock is only 13.95%. Investor need to make a deep research before they make investment in property sector because the chances for them to lose their money is high.

But, for year 2011 there must be some changes. Government encourage property sector by injected huge investment. Commitment from government to enhance employment opportunity and for further economy expansion shows that property stock will become a good investment for an investor.

In addition, due to Sarawak Election, property sector is said to be most beneficiary sector because it included in one of government's Economy Transformation Plan (ETP). More buildings will be built up to improve the standard living as well as to create more job opportunity to the citizen. Maybe in next few years, Malaysian economy will be as good as other well developed country and one of big contributor is from property sector.
