The Dynamic Connectedness between Risk and Return in the Fintech Market of India: Evidence Using the GARCH-M Approach

Abstract

Fintech allows investors to explore previously unavailable investment opportunities; it provides new return opportunities while also introducing new risks. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between risk and return in the fintech industry in the Indian stock market. This article is based on market-based research that focuses on demonstrating the volatility in the fintech market’s prices and demystifying the opportunities. Secondary data were collected from the Bombay Stock Exchange’s official fintech industry website from January 2017 to July 2022 to determine whether there is any dynamic link between risk and return in the Indian fintech market. The variance-based Mean-GARCH (GARCH-M) model was used to determine whether there is a dynamic link between risk and return in the Indian fintech market. The findings emphasize the importance of taking the risk of investing in India’s fintech industry. The implications for stock investors’ and fund managers’ portfolio composition and holding periods of equities or market exposure are significant. Finally, depending on their investment horizons, the Indian fintech industry may yield significant profits for risk-taking individuals.

India’s Total Natural Resource Rents (NRR) and GDP: An Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bound Test

“…When lag weights fell to zero relatively quickly, the regressor was not highly autocorrelated, and the sample was long in comparison to the length of the lag distribution. The model was best suited to estimating dynamic relationships (Bhatnagar et al 2022a). Data collection from 1993 to 2020 was completed in order to run the analysis.…”

Demystifying the Effect of the News (Shocks) on Crypto Market Volatility

“…Amid the chaos, crypto critics have ramped up their criticisms (Bhatnagar et al 2022), focusing mainly on speculative excess and arguing that the crisis has exposed crypto as a Ponzi scheme (Vasek and Moore 2019). Some point to the high degree of volatility as proof (Cermak 2017;Pryzmont 2016;Fang et al 2019).…”

Impact of the European Green Deal (EDG) on the Agricultural Carbon (CO2) Emission in Turkey

“…Concerning the popularisation of organic farming. In this respect, a lofty objective has been set: 25% of all cultivated land should be farmed in line with organic standards [32,[62][63][64]. Reasons for adopting such a lofty goal include its relevance in preserving natural resources (via ecologically sound farming methods) and its beneficial effects on the environment generally and on biodiversity in particular [65].…”

“…However, it has been quite erratic. Settling on a way to work together on green transformation could be seen as a new chance to improve Turkey's stalled and frozen relations with the EU, since the EGD was introduced and Turkey had to change to fit it [32][33][34][35][36][37]. With the EGD, third-party countries with economic ties to the EU, like Turkey, could take steps to adapt to a green transition.…”
