Introduction
Indian industrial home institutional investors (DII) refer to Indian mutual fund
companies, life insurers and banks. Traditionally, the Indian stock market relied on cash
flow from a sustainable rally from abroad. These participants are foreign financial
institutions traded in the Indian stock market. FII has been leading the Indian stock
market, and its rise and fall are directly related to their investment in India.

India has been one of the favorite investment destinations for foreign institutional
investors, but the Western recession includes much of Europe and the United States, and
India's investment decisions are better. The stock market in the United States and other
Western economies did not produce any returns at this stage, and the Indian economy
was more stable. As a result, FII's fund flooded the Indian stock market.

In 2009 and 2010, the Indian stock market rose exponentially after a sharp drop in 2008.
India's stock market outperformed most of its peers. It helped local Indian investors get
a huge return on their investment, but at the same time it increased the reliability of the
Indian stock market's appreciation of FII.

Now local and global geopolitical scenarios are less favorable in the short term, even if
India's growth story remains unchanged for a long time. The western economic situation
is gradually restored, showing a positive development trend. Which led to the
withdrawal of FII funds from the Indian market.

India's stock market has been struggling in recent months, every time there is positive
news about Western economic development, the Indian stock market fell. At the same
time, India has a very positive development, almost ignored, which is the rise of DII.

DII has always existed; nothing like they never existed. It's just that they have been net
buyers in the last few months. Now with the stability of the market, discussions about
their role in the stability of the Indian stock market are accelerating.

In the past two quarters of net sellers, they were FY's fourth quarter net buyers of
Rs1,076 billion rupees. India's stock market has been hit hard, its valuation at a
reasonable level. At the same time, investors invest in life insurance, equity-linked
savings schemes and other tax breaks. These two factors combine to lead them to large
investments in the Indian stock market.

Indian investors must have strong DII, because external

factors can easily affect FII, because DII is more stable than
they are. FII has more options, they prefer to take turns
between emerging markets, resulting in a withdrawal
fromamarket and investment in another market.

DII invests most of the money in the Indian stock market,

So they are more secure and reliable, so their investment
growth is certainly a positive sign for Indian investors.

2.0 Literature review

2.1 Background and existing literature

Assuming the relationship between stock returns and

institutional investment Institutional investment behavior
and its impact on the stock market is one of the topics
discussed in the literature, both theoretical and empirical.
Depending on the subject matter of the discussion,
investment behavior and its impact may vary depending on
the type of organization, as institutions often differ in their
characteristics (such as their incentives, regulations and
clients, and investment objectives). Most investors, whether
individuals or institutional investors, follow the strategy of
actively selecting and trading stocks, and their trading
decisions may affect the stock price when investors are
actively trading.

In general, the flow of institutional investment is considered

highly relevant to market returns. Various interpretations
have been presented in the literature, and various empirical
tests have led to a variety of and sometimes contrasting
results (Boyer and Zheng, 2008).

There are three prominent and interrelated assumptions.

First, the price stress hypothesis, assuming that the
institutional investors' transactions affect the stock price at
the same time; second, the feedback trading hypothesis,
indicating that institutional investors have momentum
momentum trading or chase past returns; third, information
disclosure hypothesis, assuming that institutions have
superior Information, which helps them to better trade time.

According to price stress assumptions, price changes are

caused by changes in aggregate demand, which is a
combination of different investor groups (Harris and Gurel,
1986; Shleifer, 1986).

When some institutions (as a group) move their demand

curve, they also change the aggregate demand curve and
move the equilibrium; these institutions are market
promoters. The positive correlation between the stock
market gains and the inflows of these institutions will be
observed due to the upward tilt of the supply curve.

On the other hand, the change in demand for passive

investors is driven by price changes caused by market
drivers. Since the influx of these investors reflects a change
in demand for new equilibrium levels, there is no correlation
or negative correlation between stock market returns and
these inflows, depending on whether the shape of the
investor's demand curve is vertical or downward.

Warther (1995), Edelen and Warner (2001) and Goetzmann and

Massa (2002) examine the role of demand shocks in interpreting
large-scale price fluctuations in large-scale asset classes.
The second hypothesis about the proximity of stock returns and
institutional flows involves transactional behavior, which states
that institutional investors respond to past returns when
formulating investment strategies.
The positive correlation between the investment flow and the
lagged income of the investor group indicates the short-term
positive feedback transaction of the group.
Such a transaction may be just because of a belief that the trend
may continue.
This kind of transaction is closely related to the institutional
problem
Investors are unstable or stabilize the stock market. Positive
feedback trading is considered to be potentially precarious if it
causes the institution to buy more expensive stocks and sell low-
priced stocks, leading to further divergence of prices away from
fundamentals.
This phenomenon has been studied by De Long et al. (1990),
Sentana and Wadhwani (1992) and Siklos and Bohl (2008).
About feedback trading, grazing and market (stability) related
literature in the box: trading agency discussion.
The third hypothesis that the close relationship between returns
and institutional flows is based on the premise that if the investor
group's transactions are based on the advantage information held
 by the investor group that affects the future stock returns, the
group's traffic will Predict future returns accurately (Sias and
Starks, 1997; Boehmer and Kelly, 2009; Chordia, Roll and
Subrahmanyam, 2011).
A related and recurring theme in the literature is that foreign
investors are less aware of domestic securities than domestic
investors, so they are in adverse trading and hold them. However,
Fisheries and Industry has the opportunity to gain international
expertise and talent, and there is more and more command of
local resources. Therefore, no longer obvious, FII should be
relative to the domestic institutional investors at a disadvantage.
Grinblatt and Keloharju (2000), Seasholes (2000) and Froot and
Ramadorai (2001) provided evidence to support this.

Institutional Investor Behavior and Information Advantage

executive Summary

India's insurance industry has gone a long way past for the past 15 years, from the basic
role of providing basic protection against loss. It has become an indispensable pillar in
support of India's economic prosperity and growth by explaining risks, providing funds
for state-building projects, stabilizing the stock market and promoting social security. In
the process, it continues to create significant value for all stakeholders, that is,
customers, distributors, shareholders and insurers. India's insurance industry's growth
story, because liberalization has been dramatic. The life and non-living sectors initially
witnessed the long-term stages of sustained and substantial growth. However, the
charges for the life insurance sector are blocked by the much-needed course revisions
initiated by regulators in recent years, leading to stagnation of growth and a question
mark on the viability of existing business models. On the other hand, the increase in the
number of non-life insurance is more stable, but due to excessive claims related losses,
the journey is impaired. In both cases, many of the pain is released by the necessary but
too frequent regulatory intervention, thus hampering the stability of the industry. As
with the Indian market, the global insurance program is still boring, low interest rates
(impact profit margins), non-living sector soft pricing conditions and frequent regulatory
reforms. However, one of the main facts that distinguishes developed markets from the
Indian market is India's unparalleled growth potential, which in turn has lower insurance
penetration in India (3.3% in total - 2.6% in life, 0.7% in nonprofits), income levels
Rising economic growth rates and very favorable population attributes. To ensure that
the future is characterized by a comprehensive industry growth and maximizing the
value created for all stakeholders, the industry must strive to take advantage of every
opportunity. Some of the areas that must be taken in this regard include:

Pursue distribution efficiency by channeling synergies between channels, drive

industry skills development, optimize distribution networks, and achieve better service
integration between insurers and distributors

Make full use of the Insurance Act (Amendment) Act 2015 to effectively use
incremental capital injections to raise awareness, expand under-infiltrated sectors and
adopt global best practices in operational efficiency and service delivery
The following are the same as the "
Explore the possibilities of the pension sector by developing related products and
stimulating stakeholders.
The following are the same as the "
Further penetrate the health insurance department, by attracting customers at an early
date, creating cost-effective products (products with savings components, old age health
insurance) and keeping fraud.
 Addressing cost challenges by making more use of technology to streamline
operations, curb claims losses and prevent fraud.

Take full advantage of the digital population, undermine traditional business structures,
and manage risk through the use of flexible network security frameworks.

Insurance industry - the core of stakeholder value creation

It creates value for policy holders who trust insurance products, shareholders who
support business, relier-based distributors, and insurers that are linked to all other
stakeholders. It is this interrelated, if done in a balanced manner while maintaining low
cost, creating a long-term success story.

Stakeholder values are created in the following forms:

For customer / policy holders: sell demand-based insurance plans; fair claims during
claims, due or surrender.

For the dealer: reasonable compensation for the time and effort involved in obtaining
the customer.

For shareholders: long-term return on investment is reasonable.

For insurers: create a vibrant business with a strong working culture, win customers of
their choice, and attract suitable investors who believe in long-term, best-in-class,
ethically motivated business.

Although India's insurance industry is committed to maximizing the value of everyone,

but in recent years through continuous regulatory intervention, and actively promote the
balance to achieve the focus. How the Indian insurance industry maps future progress
will be determined by the collaboration of all stakeholders and the creation of favorable
conditions. The ideal state will be a very effective industry in managing costs,
generating high returns for shareholders, actively participating in all distributors, and
most importantly attracting high customer loyalty.

The role of the insurance industry as a key driver of economic growth

Any modern era of economic development can not be achieved If its insurance
department is still underdeveloped. The insurance industry plays a vital role in
mitigating risks, supporting key social levers, providing long-term capital for
infrastructure development, and bringing importance to the stock market.
Risk Management

Insurance support institutions remain unpredictable losses, which could endanger the
presence of the organization. By limiting damages, insurance brings income consistency.
It gives investors confidence that they will not be in the normal areas of business risk.
Infrastructure development
The following are the same as the "
As the Indian market has limited tools to support long-term asset-liability management,
the insurance industry has succeeded in bringing savings to national construction
through infrastructure development. Life insurance companies' investment in
infrastructure (18-20 years compound annual growth rate of 18%) is growing faster than
India's GDP growth rate, which illustrates the industry's key. Life insurance companies
manage nearly 1/8 of assets (fiscal year 2015: 12.4%) 2 are currently leveraging
infrastructure projects.

Support the stock market

The insurance company is one of India's largest fund managers, helping to check the
unfavorable fluctuations in the stock market, because they are often relatively large in
the market during the adjustment period.

Create employment

The insurance department is a major employment provider in India because it has about
35 million people's payroll (life and general), indirectly employing at least 2 million
people (life insurance agents alone more than 2 million, and thousands of channels
Partners and other relevant departments). Social security and financial inclusiveness
insurance allow low-income social sectors to address the risks that directly affect their
livelihoods. Most of this part of the insurance policy is provided with the government,
or through the "rural or social sector obligations" to sell the policy provided. Since
liberalization in 2000, India's insurance industry has grown year by year, mainly to
promote economic growth. However, its added meaning also means that in recent years,
the downturn in the industry to see growth may become India's future economic growth
drag. Therefore, it is essential to re-encourage this growth engine to take corrective
action at multiple levels by strengthening regulatory intervention, industry collective
efforts and corrective action by each insurance company. C. Growing stories -
liberalization, expansion and introspection Although the insurance industry has been
fast-paced in the past 15 years, it is not perfect. In 2000, after the private participation
and foreign funds were opened, insurance companies increased their distribution and
operation in order to win market share. The rapid growth of the economy, the rise in the
middle class population and the rise in wealth and stock markets have resulted in an
average growth rate of the first-year premium between FY02 and FY11 in the life
insurance industry, with a total direct premium growth rate of between non-life sectors
between FY02 and FY11 For 16% and FY153. However, as construction scale takes
precedence over creating high quality business, regulators enter the inspection at each
business level. This allows insurance companies to reflect the viability of their operating
models in new product areas. Insurers are forced to take a variety of corrective actions
because efficiency and profitability are critical to long-term value creation. As a result of
these measures, the customer with its correct status as a central figure, and focus on
winning customer trust. Life insurance industry growth in the past few years life

However, the 2010 revised ULIP guidelines (which significantly limit the profitability
and distribution of distributors), the multiple restrictions on corporate agents and
brokers, coupled with sustained high inflation and low growth scenarios, led to the
stagnation of new business premiums Fiscal year 2011. As a result, new business
premiums fell from Rs. 126.2 crore in 2015 to Rmb13.11 crore (4-year compound
growth rate: -3%). However, in the short term, the life insurance sector is expected to
grow by about 6% (until 2018).

With unit-linked products (ULIPs) losing favor among both distributors and customers
post FY11, and private players forced to reorganize their operations to better manage
costs, the private players market share shrunk to 25% in FY14, with LIC regaining
some of its lost turf. However, FY15 witnessed a strong performance by bancassurance-
dominated insurers, owing to the increased take-up of insurance in a rapidly expanding
private bank branch network (the top 3 private banks increased their combined branch
count from around 4,700 in March 2010 to 10,653 in March 2015), revival of ULIPs
following a rebound in equity markets, and greater use of technology. This, coupled with
a relatively weak performance by LIC in recent quarters, again led to a drop in LICs
market share in FY15 (69% vs. 75% in FY14). The top four private players are all
bancassurance-led and now command 54% of the private market share and 17% of the
total market share.
After the 2011 fiscal year, Unit Link Products (ULIP) have lost their favor

and the increased use of technology. This coupled with the relatively weak
performance of LIC in recent quarters, once again led to a decline in LIC's
market share in fiscal year 2015 (69%, 75% in fiscal year 2014). The top four
private banks are bancassurance channels and now account for 54% of the
private market share, accounting for 17% of the total market share.
