AN EMPIRICAL STUDY INTO INVESTORS’ PREFERENCE TOWARDS INVESTMENT IN STOCK MARKET

Abstract

Investments constitute the life blood for any economy. They represent an important chain in the prosperity cycle. There are ample investment options available for investors in India. Some of them are driven by tax savings like Tax Saving bonds, LIC etc and some of them low risk and others are high risk and high return investments. The Capital Market investments are generally considered as ‘high risk’ while promising high returns. The Capital Markets are considered as the economic barometer of the country. They match the forces of demand and supply of funds and they will channelize the savings and investments into the nation’s financial system in this process. In simple words, Capital Markets facilitate buying and selling of debt as well as equity instruments, both in the primary as well as secondary markets. The investors perceive the investment in stock market as risky as compared to that in traditional investment avenues. This is due to lack of adequate knowledge about the capital market behavior. Most of the investors park their investible funds in stock market on the basis of suggestions given by friends, relatives, and brokers who may not have adequate knowledge of stock market behavior and end up in financial losses. Nowadays especially after and during corona, many youth have started focusing on investment in stock market. During this period, many new de mat accounts got opened across India. However, we need to keep in mind the various factors that will influence the size, direction, and sectors of the investments that ultimately find a place in a nation’s Stock Market.

RISK MITIGATION AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR SUSTAINABLE FINANCE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO CLIMATE RISK

Abstract

In the dynamic landscape of finance, the integration of sustainability principles has become imperative to mitigate environmental and social risks while ensuring long-term economic viability. Finance executives are expected to explore the intricate relationship between sustainable finance, risk mitigation, and risk management strategies. They need to delve into the theoretical frameworks and practical applications. Moreover, any Financial Institution can navigate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors to foster sustainable development. In addition, they have to examine various dimensions of risk mitigation and management within the context of sustainable finance, encompassing methodologies such as ESG integration, impact investing, and green financing. Of course, there are several challenges and opportunities associated with sustainable finance initiatives and they all need to be analyzed to shed light on best practices and emerging trends. Furthermore, they have to be sensitized about the role of regulatory frameworks, industry standards, and stakeholder engagement in fostering a congenial environment for sustainable finance. Through collaborative efforts among financial institutions, regulators, and civil society, the present Paper advocates for a holistic approach to sustainable finance that balances risk mitigation with long-term value creation. By addressing the complexities of risk assessment and mitigation in sustainable investment portfolios, the Concept Paper aims to provide insights that can inform policy-making, investment decisions, and organizational strategies and offer a nuanced understanding of risk mitigation and management strategies that promote environmental stewardship, social equity, and financial resilience

ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL LAW IN RESOLVING TERRITORIAL DISPUTES

Abstract

International Law has established a hierarchy of resources it will use to settle territorial disputes in its jurisprudence: It places a boundary treaty between the state litigants first, followed by agreements between the states\' colonial predecessors and, finally, the actions of the state litigants that show they have authority over the disputed territory. There is reason to believe that the aspirations of local populations ought to be taken into account in international law, given the place self-determination currently occupies in international law and the potential consequences these populations may face in certain territorial disputes. The reasons why state litigants, on the one hand, and international law, on the other, do not raise the issue of self-determination are first examined in this article. It makes the observation that states only rhetorically discuss self-determination when it serves to further their own interests. As a result, it tries to reconcile territorial disputes and self-determination, suggesting how the Court might take into account people\'s desires.
