한국 주식시장은 외국인 투자자들이 매수하면 주가가 오르고 그들이 매도하면 주가가 하락하는 현상이 가장 큰 특징 중의 하나가 되었다. 본 논문은 한국 주식시장의 주도세력이면서 가장 높은 수익률을 창출하는 외국인 투자자의 매매동향을 검토하고 그들의 매매패턴을 이용해 리스크를 회피하며 손실을 최소화하는 방안을 검토해 이를 실제적으로 주식시장에 실증적으로 적용한 연구이다. 본 논문은 코스닥 시장을 기준으로, 월간 기준 수십억 수백억으로 매수해 들어오는 외국인의 매매동향 데이터에 대한 실증적인 분석을 통해 리스크 회피 프로세스를 정립하고자 하였다. 구체적으로는 1)외국인의 순매수대금이 20억 이상인 종목 가운데 2)외국인의 지분증가가 크고 3)순매수율이 높을수록 리스크 발생 가능성이 현저하게 줄어듦을 확인하고 동시에 안정적인 수익을 낼 수 있는 실제적인 가능성이 매우 높게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 논문의 의의는 개인투자자들도 외국인의 매매동향을 잘 분석하고 이용하면 리스크 발생을 최소화하면서 동시에 그들보다 안정적인 투자가 가능하다는 것을 보여줬다는데 있다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and test the effect of financial ratios and macroeconomics on Islamic stock returns listed in Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) other than to assess whether investment risk can be an intervening variable in this study. The type of research is explanatory in nature with a quantitative descriptive approach. The data used is based on secondary sources with a sample group of 29 companies listed on JII for a 5-year period ending 31 December 2018. The data obtained were analyzed by using SEM (Structural Equation Model) with AMOS (Analysis Moment of Structural) 21 program. The results of the study show that only financial ratios affect sharia stock returns and investment risk, while the mediation test found that investment risk does not act as a mediating variable between financial ratios and macroeconomics and Islamic stock return. These findings indicate that the role of the company’s financial health is very important. Besides affecting the rate of return obtained, the company’s financial health can also reflect the level of risk that investors will accept in the future. By improving financial performance properly, a company will have a positive impact on various interested parties and minimize the level of investor losses.

This empirical research is aimed at testing the relationship of the big five personality traits namely openness to experience, extraversion, consciousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, and risk aversion with the investment intention of individual investors belonging to Balochistan, Pakistan. The primary data is collected through a self-administered questionnaire (a structured form that consists of a series of closed-ended and open-ended questions) from a sample of 397 active individual investors belonging to different districts of the province. The data is empirically analyzed by applying the Partial Least Square (PLS) path modeling technique by using the estimation package available in Smart-PLS. The findings of this study suggest that all the variables are statistically significant with investors’ investment intention with risk aversion as the strongest predictor. Moreover, openness to experience, extraversion, consciousness, agreeableness, and risk are significantly and positively related to an investor’s investment intention, whereas neuroticism is negatively related to an investor’s investment intention. The results extended by this study can be used by financial planners and investment bankers to channelize the available financial resources in diversified portfolios. The results will help financial planners to make available diverse investment alternatives for investors in Balochistan, thus catering to their unique needs. Academia must offer courses on contemporary finance paradigm based on behavioral finance to enable future business graduates to make wise financial decisions.

It is expected that the results of this study will encourage more private investors to participate in port private investments in the future.
