CHAPTER - 2

Review of Literature

2.1. Introduction

The Islamic Investments is in budding stage and gradually growing around the

world in the last one decade. The existing literature in the field of Islamic finance and

Investments is limited especially in emerging economics. However, the available

literature is presented here to give a lucid picture about the performance of Shariah

Compliant Stocks and indices both at the global level and Indian context.

2.2. Review of Literature regarding Risk and Return performance of the Shariah

Compliant Shares and Shariah Indices (38 No)

In this part of the chapter, the review of literature regarding risk and return of

the Shariah Compliant Shares and Shariah indices are presented.

Mudasir and et al. (2000)1 measured the performing and non-performing of

the Shariah Compliant stocks in industrial sectors. They employed 20 financial ratios,

alpha Jensen technique, multiple discriminant analysis and logistic regression by

using yearly data during 2000. The study finds that the cash / share ratio determined

the performing and non – performing of the Shariah Compliant stocks according to

the MDA model. The cash / share and cash ratio determined the performance of the

Shariah Compliant stocks using logistic regression.

Abdullah and Bacha (2001)2 examined the impact of inclusion and detection

of the stocks in the Shariah index on return and trading volume of the Shariah stocks

in Malaysia. The employed event study methodology for daily closing prices and

trading volume of the Shariah stocks during 1997 to 1999. The study found that

inclusion of the stocks in the Shariah index increased the returns and trading volume

and exclusion of the stocks reduced the returns and trading volume of the Shariah

stocks in Malaysia.

Ahamad and Ibrahim (2002)3 compared the risk and return performance of

Kuala Lumpur Shariah Index (KLSI) with Kuala Lumpur Composite index (KLCI)

during the period 1999 to 2002. The sample period of the study is divided into

growing period, decline period and overall period. They have employed relative

return technique, Standard deviation, risk adjusted performance measurement and two

sample t - test to measure the performance of both indices. The study found that KLSI

underperforms during overall period and decline period but it overperform in growing

period. Finally they find that there is no significant difference in performance of both

indices during three sample period.

risk-free rate during period January 5, 2000 to August 30, 2004. By employing

CAPM, the results of the study reveals that the most popular index is market

competitive but has underperformed in relation to another morally restricted but non-

Islamic index. The study concludes that investors in the Muslim index are not

suffering a discernible cost for complying with the Shariah restriction.

Hussein (2004)5 evaluated the performance of ethical investment with their

unscreened benchmarks. The study empirically tests whether returns of FTSE Global

Islamic Index are significantly different from their index counterpart (FTSE All-

World Index). The sample period is divided into two sub-periods, bull period (July

1996 – March 2000) and bear period (April 2000 - August 2003). Both indices

performed similar manner during entire sample period. On the other hand, the Islamic

index yields statistically significant positive abnormal returns in the bull market

period, whereas it underperforms in the bear market period. In general, the results

show that the application of ethical screening does not have an adverse effect on the

FTSE Global Islamic Index performance.

Hussein (2005)6 made an effort to test whether monthly returns of Financial

Time Stock Exchange (FTSE) Global Islamic index and Dow Jone Islamic Market

Index are significantly different from their common index for the period January 1996

to December 2004. The sample period is divided into bull market and bear market.

The study employs Capital Asset pricing model, Risk adjusted performance

measurement, t–test, Wilcoxon Signed test, buy and hold return method and

cumulative return method for examining long run and short run relationship between 5 Hussein. K. A.

indices. In short run period, Islamic indices statistically overperfom during whole

period and second bull market period. In long run, Islamic indices overperfom during

entire period and second bull market period. Finally the study finds that there is a

similar performance between indices.

Hussein and Omran (2005)7 examine the impact of ethical screening on the

performance of the Dow- Jones Islamic indexes during December 1995 to June 2003

by using monthly closing value of the DJIWI and its 13 sub indexes. The sample

period is divided into two sub periods, January 1996-March 2000 and April 2000-July

2003, in order to track the behavior of Islamic indexes under bull and bear market

conditions. By employing CAPM, Sharpe ratio, treynor ratio, the study finds that

Islamic indexes provide positive abnormal returns over the entire period and the bull

market period, but they underperform their index counterparts over the bear market

period.

Girard and Hassan (2006)8 took a look at the performance of seven indexes

chosen from the Dow Jones Islamic Market Index (DJIM) vis-à-vis their non-Islamic

counterparts using a variety of measures such as Sharpe, Treynor, Jenson and Fama’s

selectivity, net selectivity and diversification during the period from January 1996 to

November 2005 (118 data points). Further, the sample period is broken down into two

sub-periods - i.e, January 1996 to November 2000 (59 data points) and December

2000 to November 2005 (59 data points). Second, they examined the persistence of

performance using Carhart’s (1997) four factor pricing models. Third, the study uses

co-integration to examine how the Islamic indexes compare to their non-Islamic

counterparts. The study found that there is no difference between Islamic and non-

Islamic indexes. The Dow Jones Islamic indexes outperform their conventional

counterparts from 1996 to 2000 and underperform them from 2001 to 2005. Overall,

similar reward to risk and diversification benefits exist for both the Islamic and

conventional indexes.

Rahman and Wajdi (2006)9 tried to examine whether Shariah-compliant

firms pay higher dividend than non-Shariah-compliant firms during end of 2004.

Further, they also attempted to provide empirical evidence on whether Shariah and

non-Shariah compliant firms have different level of agency cost. The study uses Cost

of sales, Sales and general administration expense, Annual sales, and Dividend per

share as study variables. The result of the study shows that Shariah-compliant firms

pay higher dividend to their shareholders than non-Shariah compliant firms. Further,

this study found that Shariah-compliant firms facing less agency cost than non-

Shariah compliant firms.

Bauer and et al (2007)10 examine the performance of ethical mutual funds

and conventional mutual funds in Canada. By employing CAPM, three factor model,

four factor model, the study finds that there is a similar performance between both

mutual funds in Canada.

Sadegi (2008)11 investigated the impact of the introduction of Bursa Malaysia

Islamic index on the financial performance and liquidity of the screening securities

involved in the Islamic index in Malaysia. The study employed event study

methodology to estimate mean cumulative returns of the Shariah compliant stocks in

the days surrounding the event and also investigate the changes in liquidity using

trade volume and bid ask spread surrounding the event days as liquidity proxies. The

study found that the introduction of the Shariah index has positive and strong impact

on the financial performance of the Shariah compliant stocks.

Derigs and Marzban (2008)12 compare the Shariah Investment screens for

different Indices and Funds. The study finds that there is a small deviation among the

Shariah Investment principles in different indices like Dow Jones Islamic Index

Group, the Financial Times Islamic Index Series, the Standard & Poor’s Islamic Index

Group, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Islamic Index Series (MSCI), Dubai

Islamic Bank, the HSBC Amanah Fund, the Meezan Islamic Fund, the Amiri Capital

Islamic Fund, and the Azzad Islamic Fund.

Shah Bin and et al. (2008)13 analyses the performance of Shariah compliance

companies in the plantation industry during January 2000 to December 2006. The

study uses 20 financial ratios classified under four categories such as solvency,

management evaluation, profitability and performance ratios to identify the

performing and non-performing companies. The study also employs the multiple

discriminant analysis (MDA) and multiple regression to distinguish between the

performing and the under-performing companies. They find that the growth turnover

ratio is the only ratio that could discriminate between the performing and non-

performing companies in the plantation industry.

Bastaki (2008)14 assesses the effect of Islamic investment guidelines in

security selection on investor’s wealth by using 156 Dow Jones based Shariah

companies during July 1986 to July 2006 in London. By employing regression model,

the study reveals that the Shariah-based investment strategies may be profitable over

conventional strategies, moreover preferable during bear market conditions.

Jones and et al. (2008)15 investigate the returns performance of 89 ethical

funds in Australia during the period 1986 to 2005 in Australia. Using a multi-factor

CAPM model, the study finds that ethical funds significantly underperform the market

in Australia during the sample period 2000 to 2005. Risk adjusted returns using

Jensen alpha indicate that average annual underperformance is around 1.52% in the

2000–2005 period for our sample and .88% over the whole sample period. The results

of the study reveal that there are not statistically significant differences in the

performance of ethical funds relative to market benchmarks.

Mohd Dali and et al. (2008) 16identify the factors influencing the

performance of the Shariah Companies by using financial ratio in Bursa Malaysia. By

using the multiple discriminant analysis, the study identify that the ratios discriminate

between the non-performing and performing companies.

Hashim (2008)17 tries to investigate the effect of adopting screening rules on

stock indices risk using monthly data from FTSE Global Islamic indices during period

from January 1999 to May 2007. The FTSE Global Islamic such as the FTSE Global

Islamic index, the FTSE All-World index and the FTSE4Good index are compared

with the benchmark index as Morgan Stanley All Country World Index. The study

employs CAPM to tests the hypothesis that the Islamic index yields adequate returns

for the level of risk undertaken. Results show that the Islamic index surpasses the

socially responsible index in performance while operating in line with the market.

This risk assessment result does not resolve the dilemma but assures the economic

appropriateness of the procedures adopted in managing the Islamic index.

Benjelloun and Abdullah (2009)18 investigate how best to diversify in stock

market by using monthly stock returns of 62 Shariah companies during the period

January 2000 to June 2006 in Saudi Arabia. The study constructs the various portfolio

sizes and employs Modified Statman diversification model to evaluate the

performance of index funds in Saudi Arabia and thus assess the size of a diversified

portfolio. The study finds that due to high index funds fees, investors are better off

diversifying by purchasing stocks directly from the stock market and also a portfolio

containing five randomly chosen stocks is sufficient to achieve diversification.

Kok and et al (2009)19 empirically studied the performance of Shariah

Compliant Indices (SCIs) by evaluating the performance of number of SCIs, in

comparison to similar mainstream indices, as well as in comparison to other ethical

funds. Furthermore, the paper tested the co-integration among the SCI’s and the

mainstream ones to establish whether there is any scope for diversification. The main

findings are that SCIs offer an opportunity for portfolio diversification with

mainstream indices and other ethical funds within the UK.

Smolo and Mirakhor (2010)20 evaluate the global financial crisis and its

effect on the Islamic financial industry (IFI). The study aims to highlight, explain, and

discuss the implications of the global financial crisis for IFI and suggest necessary

steps for the future development of the industry. The findings show that although the

crisis had limited impact on IFI the major flaws of the capitalist financial system are

relevant to the development of IFI. The study suggested that the greater attention

should be given to the fundamental principles of Islamic finance in order to ensure the

future development of industry.

Ardiansyahan and Qoyum (2010)21 examine the impact of the default to the

Islamic equity return in the year 2009. The study uses variables such as firm size,

book to market value, probability of default (PD) and Islamic Equity Return for 148

sample companies in Malaysia. First, the study uses the Merton’s model to

determine and to predict the default probability of the Islamic company and later

It uses regression to examine the impact of the size, BM to PD. In addition, the

study also measures the impact of the PD to Islamic equity return by using regression

model. First, size of Islamic company has negative influence to the PD. Second,

Book to Market ratio has significant correlation with the PD. Third, this research

also finds that the PD has not impact to the return of Islamic equity. It means that

PD that is faced by Islamic company in Malaysia has not impact to the return of

Islamic equity.

Shubbar (2010)22 investigates the performance of the Dow Jones Islamic

Market Index and FTSE Shariah All-World Index in the 2008 credit crisis by using

Sharpe Ratio, Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Jensen’s Alpha, Market Timing

Ability, Appraisal Ratio, Treynor Ratio, and Modigliani & Modigliani Measure. The

study compares the performance of Islamic indices with their counterparts (i.e. Dow

Jones Global Total Stock Market Index and FTSE Global All-Cap Index) as well as

with S&P 500 Index as a reference for all other indices. The results of the study show

that there is no significant difference between performance of the Islamic and

conventional indices during crisis period.

Jones Islamic Market Index (DJIM) in Malaysia during the year end of 2006. Out of

the sample size of 642 Shariah companies, complete information available only for

565 companies during study period. The study finds that among the 564 Shariah

companies under KLSESI screening norms, only 198 companies conform to the

criteria set up by the DJIM.

Karim (2010)24 compares the risk and returns of the Islamic based portfolio

and conventional portfolio during the period 1989 to 2008 in Malaysia. The study

uses the KL Composite Index (KLCI) and the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Shariah Index

(FBMSHA) and Malaysian 3-month Treasury bills (T-bills) rates as proxy for risk-

free rate investment instrument to compare the performance between both portfolios.

The study find that there is no different between returns of the both portfolios during

the study period but risk is more on conventional portfolio than Islamic based

portfolio.

Bialkowski and et al (2010)25 investigate the impact of Ramadan effect on

stock returns for 14 predominantly Muslim countries over the years 1989-2007. The

study employs event study methodology and finds that stock returns during Ramadan

are almost nine times higher and less volatile than during the rest of the year.

Dewi and Ferdian (2010)26 measure the performance of Islamic mutual funds

in Indonesia and Malaysia by using daily NAV of the 10 Indonesian Islamic mutual

funds and 14 Malaysian Islamic mutual funds from January 1st, 2006 to April 31st,

2009. The daily value of the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) and Malaysia Dow Jones

Islamic Market Index (DJIMY) are used as a bench mark indices and the daily rate of

Malaysian Government Treasury Bills (MGIY5Y) and the daily rate Bank Indonesia

Certificate (GIDN5YR) are used as risk free rate. By using 5 measurement tools,

namely Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen Indices, as well as Snail Trail Methodology and

Market Timing, the study finds that Malaysian Islamic stocks seem to outperform the

Indonesian Islamic mutual funds, even in the period of global economic crises. This

study also discovers that risk-return relationship of debt Islamic mutual funds is

relatively stable as compared with asset allocation and equity Islamic mutual funds.

Lastly, this study finds that market timing ability of investment managers of Islamic

mutual funds in the two countries cannot increase the funds’ returns as a whole.

Liston and Soydemir (2010)27 investigate relative portfolio performance

between faith based returns and sin stock returns during 1965 to 2007 and compare

them during 2001 to 2007. The study employs Capital asset pricing model (CAPM),

Fama French three factor model, Carhart four factor model, rolling regression and risk

adjusted performance measurement. The study finds that the sin stocks outperform

faith based stocks relative to the market, especially during contractionary periods. A

rolling regression technique reveals that faith based and sin betas tend to move in

opposite directions during most of the sample period. Further, there is evidence that

faith based beta has an average estimated beta of one, mimicking the market, and

negative estimated coefficient for the book to market factor. Sin stocks, however,

have an average estimated beta of one half, with positive estimated coefficients for

size and book to market factors. This indicates that sin stocks are defensive and

behave similar to value stocks, whereas faith based stocks behave similar to growth

stocks.

Liston and Soydemir (2010)28 analyses the portfolio performance between

sin stock returns and faith-based returns during July 2001 to December 2007. The

study employs the Sharpe-Lintner-Mossin capital asset pricing model (CAPM), the

Fama and French (1993) three-factor model, and the Carhart (1997) four-factor model

and finds that faith-based and sin betas move in opposite directions during most of the

sample period and the sin portfolio outperforms the faith-based portfolio relative to

the market.

Shubbar (2010) 29investigates the performance of the Dow Jones Islamic

employs Sharpe Ratio, Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Jensen’s Alpha, Market

Timing Ability, Appraisal Ratio, Treynor Ratio, and Modigliani & Modigliani

Measure to compare the performance of Islamic indices with their counterparts

indices such as Dow Jones Global Total Stock Market Index and FTSE Global All-

Further the study suggests that Islamic indices are more stable than conventional ones.

In contrast, the conventional indices are performing quite better than Islamic ones in

terms of gained returns which might be due to arbitrage opportunities and other

Islamic Index (DJIM) against the Datastream Global Index (DGI) over the period

January 1996 to March 2003. The study employs risk adjusted measurement such as

Sharpe ratio, Treyner ratio and Jensen Alpha. The study finds that the Islamic index

out perform during the crisis period than conventional indices.

Suherman and Buchdadi (2010)31 empirically investigate the difference of

the performance between Shariah-based and non Shariah-based IPO firms. The

sample consists of 8 Shariah-based and 37 non Shariah-based IPO firms from the

Jakarta Stock Exchange (JSX) between July 2001 and December 2005. The results

show that, when using equally-weighted cumulative abnormal returns (EWCARs) and

equally-weighted buy-and-hold abnormal returns (EWBHARs), the long-run

performance of IPOs between Shariah and non Shariah firms are significantly

different. However, the significance disappears when the returns are calculated with

value-weighted cumulative abnormal returns (VWCARs) and value-weighted buy-

and-hold abnormal returns (VWBHARs). Further, the results show that Shariah-

based IPO firms outperform the market in almost every month over two years, except

month 7 and 10 when using VWCARs. However, non Shariah-based IPO firms

underperform in almost every month over two years. 30 Hassan. A. and Antoniou. A. (2010). Equity Fund’s Islamic Screening: Effects on its Financial Performance.

Ahamed and et al (2011)32 examine the financial performance of 16 Saudi

IPO firms between 2003 and 2009 period by using regression model. The objective of

the study is to measure Saudi Arabian initial public offerings’ (IPOs) financial

performance before and after going public on the Saudi Stock Exchange Market. The

paper also aims to explore factors associated with the financial performance variation

between pre- and post-IPO. The study finds that the Saudi IPOs exhibit a significant

decline in the post-IPO performance compared to the pre-IPO level as measured by

the return on assets and return on sales. It was also found that the performance

deterioration is associated with the IPO event.

Ferdian and et al (2011)33 tried to determine the Shariah Stock returns in

Indonesian Shariah stock Market by using weekly closing price, market beta, book to

market ratio, debt to equity ratio and firm size over the period of 14th September 2005

to 25th September 2009. They employed CAPM and Fama – French Three factor

model to estimate the Shariah stocks returns. the study found that Shariah Stock

returns are determined by market factor (market return minus risk free return), firm

size and book to market factor. The study further supported that big and value firms

generate superior returns as compared to small and growing firms.

in Egypt and Jordan. The study uses the daily stock prices, market index, bid and

ask prices, and volume of trade of the 25 Egyptian and 9 Jordanian companies added

to the DJIM index between January 2008 and December 2009. By employing the

Event study methodology, the study finds that stock prices of the sample Shariah

companies are positively reacted to index addition events in these countries. The

study also provides evidence that the returns and liquidity of added shares in the

Shariah index are increasing in long-term. This indicated that the company’s activities

reflect the beliefs and ethos of their investors in the Middle East.

Girard and Hassan (2011)35 examine the performance of seven indexes

chosen from the Dow Jones Islamic Market Index (DJIM) and their non-Islamic

counterparts using Sharpe, Treynor, Jenson, Fama’s selectivity, net selectivity and

diversification, Carhart’s (1997) four factor pricing models and co-integration during

the period January 1996 to November 2005. The sample period is further divided into

two sub-periods i.e., January 1996 to November 2000 and December 2000 to

November 2005. The study finds that there is no difference between Islamic and non-

Islamic indexes. The Dow Jones Islamic indexes outperform their conventional

counterparts from 1996 to 2000 and underperform them from 2001 to 2005. Overall,

similar reward to risk and diversification benefits exist for both the Islamic and

conventional indexes and also there is no co integration between Islamic index and

common index.

the OLS technique, the study finds that the day of the week effect is presence only in

Malaysian Shariah market of KLSI and not for FBM Emas Shariah and FBM Hijrah

Shariah. Specifically, the result show that there is significant negative Monday return

and positive Friday returns in the Kuala Lumpur Shariah Index. The result suggests

that the market is not purely efficient, a findings similar to those of conventional stock

market in many countries.

Dharani and Natarajan (2011a)37 compare the risk and return of the S&P

CNX Nifty Shariah index and S&P CNX Nifty index at day wise, moth wise and

there is a significance return difference between both indices during third quarter in

India. Finally, the study finds that Ramalan effect prevailing in the Shariah index

during third quarter of the study period.

Dharani and Natarajan (2011b)38 empirically examine the risk and return of

December 2010. The sample period is further divided into bull market period and bear

market period based on the movement of the both indices during the study period. The

objective of the study is to analyse the performance of the Islamic index and common

index and to test whether any significant difference between both indices in India.

2.3. Review of Literature regarding Relationship between the Shariah index and

Common index (18 NOs)

In this part of the chapter, the review of literature regarding the relationship

between Shariah index and common index are presented. Most of the studies are

carried out in the developed and Muslim countries. However, relevant studies

regarding the study objective are presented in this section of the study.

Hakim and Rashidian (2004a)39 investigated the risk and return of Dow

Jones Islamic Stock Market Indices (DJIM) from 1999 to 2002. The study found that

the three month T bill returns dominate both the Islamic Index and the Wilshire 5000

stock market index. However, return and risk of the Islamic index is less than the

Wilshire 5000. The study also examined the long run and short run relationship

existing among the variables using unit root test, co integration and causality test. The

study found that T bill returns, Islamic index returns and Wilshire 5000 returns are not

co- integrated.

Ahmad (2005)40 attempts to examine the relationship among the daily closing

price of the Bursa Malaysia Shariah index, EMAS index and the daily Malaysian

three months T-bills rate during the period April 1999 to December 2004 in Malaysia.

38

The study employs the unit root test, Johansen- Juselius cointegration test, Granger

Causality test and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to find the relationship

among the variables. The results of the study reveal that the Bursa Malaysia Shariah

index, EMAS index and three months T-bills share a long run relationship. In the

short run, only changes in EMAS index tent to raise the value of BMSI and t-bills do

not significantly affect both indices in Malaysia.

Achsani and et al. (2007)41 analyse the linkage among the Islamic indices by

using weekly data during January 2000 to August 2007. The study employs

correlation, Granger Causality and VAR model for the data set. The study finds that

there is a strong correlation between Islamic indices. Further, the findings show that

US market has strong influences on the other market.

Yusof and Majid (2007)42 seek to explore the long run and short run

relationship between foreign portfolio investments (FII) and three markets such as the

goods market, the money market and the security market in Malaysia during January

1999 to December 2006. The good market is considered as real income, the money

market variables are the broad money supply, t- bills and Federal fund rate. The KLSI

and KLCI are considered as security market variables. By employing the ARDL

Model, the study finds that among the three markets studied, the securities market in

Malaysia is the most significant market to attract the foreign investment.

Chapakia and Sanrego (2007)43 investigate the dynamic relationship among

Shariah index, Composite index, and three-month Treasury bill rate in Malaysia

during the period April 1999 to December 2003. The study attempts to examine the

causality among the variables in the short run and long run by employing unit root

test, co integration, Granger Causality and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM).

The results of the study reveal that the returns of the Treasury bill rates are higher

than the returns of the Shariah index and Composite index in Malaysia. The result of

the co integration test shows that there is a long run relationship between the

composite index and the Shariah index. Finally, the results of the causality explain

that the Shariah index causes the composite index and the three month Treasury bill

rates cause the Shariah index. The study concludes that there is a bidirectional

relationship between the Shariah index and the composite index in Malaysia.

Albaity and Ahamad (2008)44 investigated the performance and relationship

between KLSI and KLCE over the period of April 1999 to December 2005 in

Malaysia. The study applied risk adjusted performance measurement, causality and

Johansen co integration test. They found that there is an insignificant return difference

and long run bidirectional relationship between both indices.

conventional stock markets on foreign portfolio investments (FPI) during January

1999 to December 2006 in Malaysia. The study first examines the short and long-run

relationships between FPI and the goods market, money market, and securities market

respectively. The variables as real income (Y) for goods market, broad money supply

(M2), treasury bill rate (TBR) and the US Federal Fund rate (FFR) for money market,

and Kuala Lumpur Shariah Index (KLSI) and Kuala Lumpur Composite Index

(KLCI) for security market are employed by using Autoregressive Distributed log

model (ARDL), The variance decompositions (VDCs) and impulse-response

functions (IRFs). The study finds that among the three markets studied, the securities

market in Malaysia (both conventional and Islamic) is the most significant market in

attracting FPI into the economy. This implies that to a certain extent, the

government’s effort in promoting Malaysia as the international hub for the Islamic

capital market has been successful.

Kassim and Abdul Manap (2008)46 analyze the information content of the

Islamic interbank money market rate (IIMMR), with respect to several

macroeconomic indicators such as the industrial production index (IPI), consumer

price index (CPI), stock market index (the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index-KLCI),

total bank loans (LOANS), total exports (EXPORTS) and total imports (IMPORTS)

during the period January 2000 to December 2006 in Malaysia. The study employs

the Toda-Yamamoto (1995) method to analyse the causality relationship between the

policy indicator and macroeconomic variables. The results of the Toda-Yamamoto

causality tests are supportive of the high information content of the IIMMR of the

Malaysian economy.

Biek and Wardhana (2009)47 discovered the relationship between Jakarta

Islamic Index and other selected markets indices during the period of January 2006 to

December 2008. The study apply Unit root test, Co – integration and Vector auto

regressive model (VAR) to examine the long run relationship among the selected

sample indices in the study. The results confirmed that there is no long run

relationship between Jakarta Islamic Index and other selected Market index during the

study period.

Majid and Yusof (2009)48 assessed both the short- and long-run dynamics

between the macroeconomic variables and Islamic stock market behavior in Malaysia

during the post financial crisis of 1997 to 2006 by using Autoregressive Distributed

Lag Model (ARDL). The macroeconomic variables such as real effective exchange

rate (REET), money supply M3, Treasury bill rate (TBR) and federal fund rate (FFR)

are considered in their study. The results suggest that REET, money supply M3, TBR

and (FFR) seem to be suitable targets for the government to focus on, in order to

stabilize the Islamic stock market and to encourage more capital flows into the

market. The study found that money supply M3, TBR, and FFR are positively related

Islamic stock market index whereas REER is negatively related. As for the interest

rates and stock returns relationship, the paper finds that when interest rates rise either

domestically (TBR) or internationally (FFR), the Muslim investors will buy more

Shariah compliant stocks; thereby escalating the Islamic stock prices.

Othman and et al. (2009)49 examine relationship between company’s

characteristics such as size, profitability, board composition and type of industry and

Islamic Social Reporting (ISR) for 56 companies during 2004 to 2006 in Malaysia. By

employing multiple regression, the results show that the factors size, profitability and

board composition significantly influence a company to provision of Islamic social

reporting. Industry type, however, is not an important determinant to provision of

Islamic social reporting. The findings in this study contribute to the body of

knowledge a new dimension of corporate reporting.

Kok and et al. (2009)50 aim to study the performance of Sharia-Compliant

Indices (SCIs) during period from 1st January 2007 to 29th June 2007 in London and

NY Stock Markets. The study compares the performance of the Shariah indices with

the performance of a number of SCIs as well as in comparison to other ethical funds.

The study employs co-integration among the SCIs and the mainstream ones to

establish whether there is any scope for diversification. The main findings are that

SCIs offer an opportunity for portfolio diversification with mainstream indices and

other ethical funds within the UK.

GDP. The study employs the Johansen and Juselius co intergratin model, Vector Error

Correction Models, Variance Decomposition and Impulse Response Function to

analysis the relationship among the variables. The result finds that there is no affect

on the Islamic stock market to the economic growth. This means that the capital

market in this current stage cannot support the real sector. Meanwhile this study

found that Islamic financing is having a positive influence towards output.

Karim and et al (2010)52 examine the effects of the current global crisis on

the integration and co-movements of selected Islamic stock markets using Johansen

and Juselius cointegration over the period from 15th February 2006 to 31st December

2008. The study period divide into the pre-crisis period from 15th February 2006 to

25th July 2007 and during crisis period from 26th July 2007 to 31st December 2008.

The study finds that there is no evidence of cointegration among the Islamic stock

markets. Thus, it provides opportunity for the potential benefits from international

portfolio diversification even after the subprime crisis. Further, the study reveals that

the 2007 subprime crisis does not seem to affect the long-run co-movements among

the Islamic stock markets of Indonesia, Malaysia, the USA, Japan and the UK. The

prohibition of riba, gharar and maysir is one of the plausible reasons of no

cointegration in the Islamic stock markets.

Sukmana and Kassim (2010)53 analyses the relevance of Islamic banks’

financing and deposit in channeling the monetary policy effects to the real economy

by using the co-integration test, impulse response functions, and variance 52 Karim. B. A., Mohd. Kassim N. A. and Affendy Arip. M. The subprime crisis and Islamic stock markets integration.

decomposition analysis, focusing on the period from January 1994 to May 2007. The

results show that both Islamic banks’ financing and deposit play important roles in the

monetary transmission process in the Malaysian economy. In particular, both Islamic

deposit and financing are shown to be statistically significant in linking the monetary

policy indicator to the real output.

Kassim and Majid (2010)54 test the impact of financial shocks on the Islamic

banks and the conventional banks during July 1997 to September 2009 in Malaysia.

The study period is divided into three sub – periods namely the 1997 Asian financial

crisis period ( July 1997-September 1999), the non-crisis period (October 1999-June

2007) and the 2007 financial crisis period ( July 2007-September 2009). The study

employs the impulse response functions and variance decomposition analysis based

on the vector auto-regression (VAR) method. The results indicate that both the

Islamic and conventional banking systems are vulnerable to financial shocks. This is

contrary to the popular belief that the Islamic financial system is sheltered from the

financial shocks due to its interest-free nature.

Majid and Kassim (2010)55 assess the long term and causal relationship

among five major Islamic stock markets, namely Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, the

UK and the US by using weekly closing values from 1 January 1999 to 31 August

portfolio can gain benefits by diversifying in the Islamic stock markets across

economic grouping such as that in the developed and developing countries. However,

limited benefits are available if investors only diversify their investments within the

same economic groupings.

Sukmana and Ascarya (2010)56aims to determine the importance of the

Islamic stock markets in the monetary transmission process in the Indonesian

economy. The study employs co-integration test, vector error correction models,

impulse response functions, and variance decomposition analysis during the period

from January 2004 to December 2009. The data employed is Jakarta Islamic

Index, SWBI/ SBIS, Islamic financing, and Industrial Production Index as a

measurement of output. The result finds that there is no affect on the Islamic stock

market to the economic growth. This means that the capital market in this current

stage cannot support the real sector. Meanwhile this study found that Islamic

financing is having a positive influence towards output.

supply (M1), the broad money supply (M2), interest rates (TBR), exchange rate

(MYR), and Industrial Production Index (IPI) are used as monetary variables in this

study, whereas the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) and Rashid Hussain

Berhad Islamic Index (RHBII) are used as measures for conventional and Islamic

stock markets, respectively. In order to capture the international influence on both

stock markets, the volatility in the U.S. monetary policy variable measured by the

Federal Funds Rate (FFR) is incorporated into the study. Generalized Autoregressive

Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH)-M, GARCH (1,1) framework together with

Vector Autoregressive (VAR) analysis are employed for the monthly data starting

from January 1992 to December 2000 in this study. The study found that interest rate

volatility affects the conventional stock market volatility but not the Islamic stock

market volatility. This highlights the tenet of Islamic principles that the interest rate is

not a significant variable in explaining stock market volatility. The results provided

further support that stabilizing interest rate would have insignificant impact on the

volatility of the Islamic stock markets.

Aziz and Kurniawan (2007)58 evaluate the Volatility of the Kuala Lumpur

Shariah Index (KLSI) and the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) by using daily closing value

for the period January 2001 to December 2006 in Malaysia. The study employs an

ARCH and GARCH model to estimate the volatility of both indices. The results of the

study show that KLSI is more persistence than JII for the future period.

Rahim and et al. (2009)59 examined the transmission of information and

correlation between the Kuala Lumpur Syariah Index (KLSY) and Jakarta Islamic

Index (JKSY) by using closing prices from 4th July 2000 to 29th December 2006 in

South East Asia.. Using the bivariate VAR-GJR GARCH model to the daily return of

these two indices, findings suggest that unidirectional transmission of information at

both return and volatility levels propagate from the KLSY to the JKSY. This shows

that the KLSY is the main information producer for the Islamic stock market in South

East Asia. Therefore, market participants such as market analysts and investors should

look at the Malaysian Islamic stock market in forecasting the market price movement

and volatility of the Indonesian Islamic stock market.

Lestari and Jusmaliani (2009)60 measure the persistence of the volatility of

the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII), the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) and LQ45 index

during the period of 2006 to 2008 in Indonesia. The study uses ARCH and GARCH

model to estimate the volatility between Islamic Index and Common index in

Indonesia. The study results show that volatility persistence is more on Islamic index

than Common index in Indonesia.

during the study period.

Ismal (2010)62 analyzes the volatility of returns and expected losses of Islamic

bank financing in Indonesian Islamic banking industry during 2000 to 2008 by using

variance-covariance method to calculate VaR of multi-asset portfolios. First of all,

equity and debt-based financing produce sustainable returns of bank financing.

Moreover, they are also very resilient during unfavorable economic conditions.

Second, the performance of service-based financing is very sensitive to the economic

conditions. Lastly, VaR computation on the volatility of returns and expected losses

of bank financing finds that risk of investment and expected losses are well managed.

Sukmana and Kholid (2010)63 studied the impact of global financial crisis on

Jakarta Islamic index and Jakarta Composite index during 2001 to 2009 by using the

daily closing values. The global financial crisis period is taken from March 2008 to

July 2009 in their study. They employed ARCH and GARCH model to estimate the

variances of the both indices. The study found that variance of the Islamic index less

than composite index in Malaysia during the global financial period.

Market Index (DJIMI), Kuala Lumpur Inter-Bank Offer Rate (KLIBOR) M1, M2 and

M3, Inflation rate, and the Federal Fund Rate (FFR) from April 1999 to December

2007. Using GARCH, the study finds that the variance univariate models of the

conventional indices that M1, M3, inflation rate, and real growth in GDP are

significant in influencing KLCI volatility, while M2, M3, inflation rate and interest

rate affected DJINA volatility. On the other hand, in the Islamic indices, KLSI and

DJIMI variance is influenced by M2, M3, and inflation rate. In addition, in the

multivariate model, DJIMI is influenced by the interest rate and the inflation rate in

the mean and variance equations. In contrast, KLSI is influenced commonly in the

mean and variance equations by M3, and the inflation rate.

John (2011) 65examines how the intensity of volatility linkages varies in

Islamic and non-Islamic markets and countries, using daily data from 31st May 2007

to 8th June 2010. The sample of the study consists with Islamic and conventional

stock, bond and money market indices consisting of 9 Islamic countries, 38 non-

Islamic countries and a world index. This study finds various differences between the

intensity of volatility linkages in Islamic and conventional markets. Firstly, volatility

linkages that involve at least one Islamic asset are lower than volatility

linkages between two conventional assets. Secondly, this effect is stronger in

Islamic countries relative to non-Islamic ones. These results suggest that investors

and portfolio managers need to consider the differences in volatility linkages when

they hold Islamic assets and they devise their investment and risk management

strategies accordingly. While volatility linkages involving Islamic assets are lower

than volatility linkages across conventional assets, these linkages should not be

neglected in portfolio management as they often remain strong and positive. 65 John. K., Akhtar. S., and Jahromi. M. (2011). Intensity of Volatility Linkages in Islamic and Conventional Markets. Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1782220

2.5. Research Gap of the Study

The Islamic finance is an emerging area of research and only limited empirical

researches were carried out in this field. The review of existing literature clearly states

that Islamic investment has been flourishing in all over the world since 1970. The

studies such as Ahamad and Ibrahim (2002), Hussein (2004), Hussein (2005), and

Girard and Hassan (2006) were examined the performance of the Shariah index and

common index. Hakim and Rashidian (2004), Albaity and Ahamad (2008) and Biek

and Wardhana (2009) were investigated the relationship between Islamic index and

common index. Yusof and Majid (2007) is studied the volatility of the Islamic index

and common index. Sadegi (2008) has investigated the impact of the Islamic

principles on underlying stocks. The studies reviewed were carried out in developed

countries like USA, UK, Malaysia and culf countries. Research on this area were

seldom took place in developing country like India. However, Dharani and Natarajan

(2011a, 2011b) have carried out a study on comparison between of the seasonal

anomalies and performance of the Shariah index and common index in India.

And also most of the studies were carried out on the basis of Shariah indices

and common indices. The present study tries to analysis the risk & return, volatility of

the Shariah Compliant Stocks as well as Shariah index and common index in the

Indian context. Further, the present study examined the relationship between Shariah

index and common index in India. And also, the researcher has made an attempt to

examine the relationship between return, volatility and trading volume of the Shariah

Compliant shares in Indian capital market. Finally, the study assessed the awareness

and perception of the ethical investors about Shariah investment in Indian capital

market.
