Abstract In India in 1990s in its major policy shift started allowing foreign investment in its financial markets. This led to Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) gradually investing in Indian stock market and starting of a new era in Indian stock markets. Today FIIs have emerged to be one of the most dominant groups of investors with ownership of significant component of traded securities. Nevertheless flow of FII investment in Indian stock market has not remained same throughout. In this context, this paper tries to study trend of FII investment over the period of time. It also tries to find out structural changes in the investment flow of FIIs. Investigation is also done to find if multiple structural breaks are present in FII investment flow over the period of time. Study also tries to identify growth in Investment flow of FII in Indian stock market since liberalisation and it’s impact on stock market return. Keywords: FII, Multiple Structural Breaks, Indian Stock Market

Introduction FII in India In India in 1990s in its major policy shift started allowing foreign investment in its financial markets. This led to Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) gradually investing in Indian stock market from 1992 and starting of a new era in Indian stock markets. From 1996-97 to 201314 CAGR of FII investment in Indian stock market was 21.62%. Thus, Today FIIs have emerged to be one of the most dominant groups of investors with ownership of significant

component of traded securities and became crucial for all emerging countries like India. FII investment flow in India is important element not only for stock market but also in maintenance of balance of payment related issue. FII flow is affected by various events occurring within the host country viz. political and economical as well as any other happenings throughout the globe like any crisis or developments. Whenever such even occur it may positively or negatively affect the flow. If such changes are temporary in nature we can neglect them, but if such events changes the slop of trend of FII investment flow, it really matters to predict of study them further. To study FII flow in India knowledge of econometrics could be handy. Econometrics is useful not only in forecasting but also in identifying major hurdles in forecasting and dealing with them. Structural Break Structural breaks are useful econometric tools to understand paradigm shift in trend and change in slop of any time-series data. A structural break appears when we see an unexpected shift in a time series data. It's called a structural break when a time series abruptly changes at a point in time. This change could involve a change in mean or a change in the other parameters of the process that produce the series("Tests for structural breaks in time-series data | Stata 14,"). This can lead to huge forecasting errors and unreliability of the model in general. This change could involve a change in mean or a change in the other parameters of the process that produce the series. Structural break tests help us to determine when and whether there is a significant change in our data("Tests for structural breaks in time-series data | Stata 14,"). Structural breaks can be studied in two ways firstly when we are aware about the events happened we can check whether it has some significant effect in trend and secondly when significant change happen which is identified earlier then find out the reason for it.

Out of the above major events few of them affected FII flow in Indian stock market. To understand various events, their effect on FII investment in Indian stock market and structural breaks following literature review is done.

Literature Review To test the equality between sets of coefficients in two linear regressions, Chow (1960) obtained the sum of squares of the residuals assuming the equality, and the sum of squares without assuming the equality. The ratio of the difference between these two sums to the latter sum, adjusted for the corresponding degrees of freedom, distributed as the F ratio under the null hypothesis. Latter sum of squares computed only from the first sample of n observations when the second sample was not large enough for computing a separate regression. They attempted to show the application of the theory of general linear hypotheses in the prediction interval and the analysis of covariance are related to each other. While dealing with the comparison of coefficients in only two regressions he founded that it could obviously be generalized to the case of many regressions. Bai and Perron (1998) had considered issues related to multiple structural changes, occurring at un-known dates, in the linear regression model estimated by least squares. The

main aspects were the properties of the estimators, including the estimates of the break dates, and the construction of tests that allow inference to be made about the presence of structural change and the number of breaks. They considered the general case of a partial structural change model where not all parameters were subject to shifts. They studied both fixed and shrinking magnitudes of shifts and obtain the rates of convergence for the estimated break fractions. Bai and Perron (2003) supplemented the set of critical values to check multiple structural breaks. M. Singh (2007) observed that while market capitalization of the large Indian stock exchanges is presently about 100 percent of GDP (around $1.3 trillion), FIIs hold about 25 percent of the market if cumulative dividends that are rolled over are included. However, market sources suggest that around 50 percent of FII flows have been via participatory notes (PNs). PNs, which are an offshore instrument against underlying Indian securities, can be issued as derivatives or cash. Schätz (2010) supplied empirical evidence of the dynamic interactions between international macroeconomic determinants and 10 emerging market sector indices. Due to several economic and monetary crises, they found structural breaks in 9 of the 10 sectors. For that they applied a two-stage test procedure to verify the stability of the regression coefficients over time and to ensure the identification of structural breaks. First, the time series were checked for the existence of structural breaks by means of CUSUM and CUSUMQ tests. Second, the Chow test verified the dates which were deter-mined by those test procedures. Solanki and Kachhwaha (2010) mentioned that as the stock markets collapsed in Eurozone, there was panic in the Indian stock markets. The foreign institutional investors (FIIs) who had invested in Mumbai stock market suddenly withdrew their investment. This naturally dipped the BSE Sensex. The value of Sensex dropped by more than 600 points in early trade on 29th June 2015, but managed to recoup some loses later on selective buying in the beaten-down counters and settled the day lower by 167 points at 27,645.15. Bajpai (2011) studied that the initial effect of the subprime crisis was, in fact, positive, as the country received accelerated Foreign Institutional Investment (FII) flows during September 2007 to January 2008. But as the global crisis intensified and spread to the emerging economies through capital and current account of the balance of payments. The net portfolio flows to India soon turned negative as Foreign Institutional Investors rushed to sell equity stakes in a bid to replenish overseas cash balances. This had a knock-on effect on the stock

market and the exchange rates through creating the supply demand imbalance in the foreign exchange market. Narayan, Narayan, and Mishra (2013) have studied that structural break has slowed down the growth rate of the US, UK and Japanese stock markets. For this study they have used the common structural break test suggested by Bai et al. (1998). They have studied various aspects affecting stock markets such as the asset price bubble when housing prices and stock prices in Japan reached a peak in 1988/1989, the early 1990s recession in the UK, the business cycle peak of July 1990, the August 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and the March 1991 business cycle trough. Choudhury (2014) in his study took a comprehensive investigation into India’s service sector, the main growth engine for Indian economy over during past two decades. First, delt with the endogenous multiple structural break developed by Bai Perron (1998, 2003). He also applied both the models of pure and partial structural breaks propounded by Bai and Perron are considered. Joshi and Desai (2015) have studied the trend of FII flow and Sensex value from the year 1992 to 2014. In that study they have found bullish trend and bearish trend and correlation during those periods. Trend

Their study showed that FII Investment and Sensex are having strong positive correlation during bullish trend than correlation during bearish trend. Thus, FII may have more positive role during long term bullish trend rather than negative role during long term bearish trend. Vardhan and Sinha (2016) examined the influence of foreign institutional investments on the Indian stock market and its role in integration with the United States (US) equity market. They have used structural breaks to create sub-periods to employ different vector autoregression models. The stability of two parameters has been tested by the Chow test. From the above literature review we could determined out following objective.

Objectives: To study major structural breaks in FII invest in India.

Research Methodology Research Design: Descriptive Design is used to describe various events affecting FII flow significantly and causing the structural breaks in investment of FII in India. Data: For the study we used monthly data of net flow of FII investment in equity segment of India. We have collected secondary data from the Security Exchange Board of India (SEBI) website. Time period for the data collected is from March 1997 to April 2016. Tools and Techniques used in Analysis: Unit root test - Dickey-Fuller test to check stationary time-series data, Durbin Watson for autocorrelation in time-series data and JarqueBera test for normality of time-series data are used before analyzing structural break in monthly data of FII investment in equity market. Then, Chow test applied to check various structural breaks at identified time period. Chow test is a statistical and econometric test of whether the coefficients in two linear regressions on different data sets are equal. Bai-Perron test applied to detect multiple structural breaks in available data. Bai and Perron (2003) test is test to find multiple structural breaks automatically from data.

Data Analysis Unit Root Test: To test whether in our time-series data is stationary i.e. unit root does not exist, following null hypothesis can be tested. Null Hypothesis: FII_IN_EQUITY has a unit root Augmented Dickey-Fuller test t-Statistic

As our p-value is less than 0.05, we can not accept our null hypothesis. Hence we can say that our time series data of FII investment in Indian stock market is stationary. Durbin-Watson (DW) stat is 2.078373. As DW stat is very near to 2, it shows that there is no auto correlation problem found in the data series of FII net flow in Indian stock market. Bell-shape of the data and Jarque-Bera test are useful to check whether the data is normally distributed or not. Following diagram and statistics checks the normality. 80

From the above figure and result of descriptive test we can see that P-value of Jarque-Bera is very small, which is less than 0.05. Thus we can not accept the null hypothesis of normally distributed data. But for sample sizes that are sufficiently large, violation of the normality assumption is virtually inconsequential (Brooks, 2008). Here we have monthly data of 19 years i.e. data from the initiation of FII investment in Indian stock market separately made accessible by SEBI. Appealing to a central limit theorem, the test statistics will asymptotically follow the appropriate distributions even in the absence of error normality1.

Major Significant Structural Breaks in FII Investment India In order to identify structural breaks in FII investment in Indian stock market we have applied two types of tests. A. Major events were identified and applied Chow Test to check structural break at specified period; and 1

The law of large numbers states that the average of a sample (which is a random variable) will converge to the population mean (which is fixed), and the central limit theorem states that the sample mean converges to a normal distribution.

B. In order to ensure that no structural break is missed out Bai-Perron Test was applied, as it helped to identify multi structural breaks in our data.

A. Major events were identified and applied Chow Test to check structural break at specified period To check whether various events did affect FII flow in Indian stock market, we have applied chow test with null hypothesis: No breaks at specified breakpoints. For this purpose time period considered is from March 1997 to April 2016 for which data is collected. We have found following events were significant to cause structural break in FII investment in Indian stock market. Oct 1999: 13th Lok Sabha Election On Oct 6,1999 , Vajpayee got majority market was rising before election results were out and once it was officially declared Market reacted with 5% move on election date and rising almost 12% before top was made on 14 Oct (Bramesh, 2014).

Feb 2001: Ketan Parekh Scam Ketan Parekh scam created a historical impact on financial status of Bombay Stock Exchange and also on faith of investors in its working. Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) was highly criticized as being reactive rather than proactive. The market regulator was blamed for being lax in handling the issue of unusual price movement and

tremendous volatility in shares over an 18-month period prior to February 2001(T. Singh, 2010).

May 2003: Significant role of P-Notes: India allowed FIIs to invest in Indian capital market since 1992. As the Know-YourInvestor or Know-Your-Client (KYC) norms were applicable for these foreign funds, the FIIs started to issue P-Notes, which helped the beneficiary (end-user) to remain anonymous. P-Notes are, in essence, overseas derivatives instruments (ODIs), which have Indian stocks and derivatives as their underlying securities ("P-Notes require more stringent monitoring," 2015). The investments through P-Notes were legitimised by SEBI in 2002, when D. R. Mehta was the Chairman of the capital market regulator. Total foreign institutional investors inflow of Rs 10,097 crore in October and November 2003, Rs 5,756 crore came through participatory notes. Also, what has stoked concerns is that most of the investment in 2003 through participatory notes started from May. Before April, such funds were to the tune of Rs 2,000 crore ("What are participatory notes?," 2004).

May 2004: 14th Lok Sabha Election The influence of FIIs on the movement of the Sensex became apparent after the 2004 general elections in India when the sudden reversal of FII flows triggered a panic reaction which resulted in very high volatility in the Indian stock market. During this period, the

Sensex experienced the worst single-day decline in its history. In the three months between April and June 2004, the index declined by about 17 per cent (Pal, 2005).

Oct 2007: P-Note Crisis, Subprime Crises and Financial Crisis of 2007-08 On the 16th of October, 2007, SEBI (Securities & Exchange Board of India) proposed curbs on participatory notes which accounted for roughly 50% of FII investment in 2007. SEBI was not happy with P-Notes because it is not possible to know who owns the underlying securities and hedge funds acting through PNs might therefore cause volatility in the Indian markets. However the proposals of SEBI were not clear and this led to a knee-jerk crash when the markets opened on the following day (October 17, 2007). Within a minute of opening trade, the Sensex crashed by 1744 points or about 9% of its value - the biggest intra-day fall in Indian stock-markets in absolute terms. ("Participatory note," 2016) According to the US National Bureau of Economic Research (the official arbiter of US recessions) the recession, as experienced in that country, began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009, thus extending over 19 months. The Great Recession was related to the financial crisis of 2007–08 and U.S. subprime mortgage crisis of 2007–09. The Great Recession has resulted in the scarcity of valuable assets in the market economy and the collapse of the financial sector in the world economy.

Satyam Scam, Lok Sabha Election, Bailout Program of Europe and End of Subprime Crisis of US In first week of January 2009, B Ramalinga Raju, founder and chairman of SCSL, confesses to fudging of accounts to the extent of about Rs 7,000-crore in a letter to the board (PTI, 2015). For the first time in the history of Indian stock markets, trading was halted at the upper circuit one minute after trading began on Monday in reaction to the United Progressive Alliance's impressive victory in the general elections (IST, 2009). When, as a negative repercussion of the Great Recession, the relatively fragile banking sector had suffered large capital losses, most states in Europe had to bail out several of their most affected banks with some supporting recapitalization loans, because of the strong linkage between their survival and the financial stability of the economy. As of January 2009, a group of 10 central and eastern European banks had already asked for a bailout. According to the US National Bureau of Economic Research the recession ended in June 2009 after 19 months subprime crisis.

Greece Crisis June 2015: In the first week of June 2015 Greece asks the IMF to postpone the installment due until the end of the month. In the last week of June the prime minister, Alexis Tsipras announced that Greek banks will remain closed for a while; he also announced the imposition of capital controls (€60/day withdrawal limit; most foreign transfers banned). At the end of June month Greece misses a payment on an IMF loan and falls into arrears. August 2015: In the first week of August 2015 the Greek Stock Exchange reopened after being closed since June 25 and fell more than 16% with bank stocks losing an average of 30% in a single day's trading. In the last week the Chinese stock market crash affects Greece and the Greek Stock Exchange fell 10.54%. On 11th August China slashes the yuan’s fixing by a record 1.9 percent, sparking the biggest selloff since 1994("A Timeline: The Chinese Yuan's Journey to Global Reserve Status - Bloomberg," 2015).

Conclusion Since opening of Indian economy there has been continuous flow of Foreign Institutional Investors found in Indian stock market. Today FIIs have emerged to be one of the most dominant groups of investors with ownership of significant component of traded. Though due to numerous events at national and international level affected FII flow. In this study we analysed when and why various structural breaks happen in FII investment flow in Indian stock market due to such national and international events viz. regulatory measures related to FII in India, Lok Sabha election, various scams in Indian stock market, global crisis and their remedial actions i.e. bail-outs affected FII investment in Indian stock market significantly using chow test. We could also found various time-periods using multiple structural breaks through Bai-Perron test. Such structural breaks we could not spot referring trend of FII investment in Indian stock market as well as various national and international events. Such events which we could identified through multiple structural beaks are rigging of market by Ketan Parekh affected FII investment in Indian stock market. Thus, chow test and bai-Perron test both have their own use and benefits to apply to study structural break and multiple structural breaks respectively. Thus, using Chow Test and Bai-Perron test we have identified various events which were major causes for structural breaks in FII investment in Indian stock market.
