A Study On Risk and Return Analysis and Data
Abstract : Risk and returns are like two faces of the same coin, if an investor wants to gain higher
returns, he must also accept the fact that this would also increase the amount of risk involved. Most
of the times, individual decision making process is influenced by risk and return analysis. The study
is focused on analyzing the performance of those nationalized banks listed in the NSE with respect to
return, risk and beta for the period 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017. The term risk is a
situation in which the possibility of the consequence can be predicted, but uncertainty is the situation
where the possibility cannot be predicted. Risk and uncertainty are part and parcel of investment.
The possibility of risk is a loss for the investors. The methodology adopted includes analysis of the
performance of banking sector considering Bank Nifty Index as benchmark. Risk and return of bank-
ing stocks as well as Data Envelopment analysis method is used for analyzing the efficiency of banks.
The entire study is based on secondary data collected from the NSE. The data collected was based on
the monthly prices of the bank stocks listed in Bank Nifty. The reason for selecting monthly prices is
to measure the short term variations in the banking stocks due to various other internal and external
factors. The findings of the study revealed that if the investors are ready to take high risk for more
returns, the investors are suggested to invest in stocks like Bank of India and Punjab National Bank
in which risk and return are high. The investors who prefer low risk and return are suggested to
invest in Axis Bank stock.
