INVESTOR’S AWARENESS TOWARDS INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND SECONDARY MARKET INVESTMENT IN NEPAL
(Shanker Dev Campus, 2024) Laxmi Maya Luitel; Dinesh Basnet / Brajesh Kumar Jha
When a security is sold to the public for the first time with the hope that a liquid market will emerge, this is known as an initial public offering, or IPO. Any debt or equity security may be the subject of an IPO. This study aims to evaluate the effects of quality management, company goodwill, performance and sectors, and market information on the public response to initial public offerings (IPOs). It also examines the relationship between these factors and the public response to the Nepalese stock market. Descriptive and informal comparative research designs were used in this study. 400 respondents from banks and brokerage firms were selected as a sample for the primary data collection. The non-probability sampling approach is used to obtain data. The questions have been filled up using the easy sampling method. The public's response is a dependent variable, while the company's performance, market knowledge, revenue, goodwill, and industry are independent variables. Quality management and company sector have a positive and significant association with public response, while corporate goodwill has a positive but insignificant relationship with public response. Similarly, market data has a negative impact on public opinion. Information about the market, public responses, and corporate sector do not significantly correlate. Public response is significantly positively impacted by the quality management company sector, whereas market information significantly negatively impacted the public response. However, the public's response is slightly impacted by the company's performance and goodwill, respectively.

This dissertation explores the financial performance of life insurance companies in the Nepalese market, focusing on the relationship between financial performance and its determinants. Employing both descriptive and causal comparative research designs, the study analyzes key financial metrics—Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE)—to understand their correlation with underlying factors. The research covers 14 life insurance companies in Nepal, selecting five major firms—Asian Life Insurance, National Life Insurance, Life Insurance Corporation, Citizen Life Insurance, and IME Life Insurance—for detailed analysis using secondary data from fiscal years 2018/19 to 2021/22. Findings reveal a significant positive relationship between financial performance and its determinants, offering valuable insights for industry stakeholders, policymakers, and investors aimed at enhancing the robustness and sustainability of Nepal's insurance sector. This thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of the financial dynamics in the industry, providing a comprehensive guide for improving financial performance and resilience in Nepal's insurance market.

CORPORATE DIVIDEND POLICY DETERMINATION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR SHAREHOLDER WEALTH
(Shanker Dev Campus, 2024) Kabita Pyakurel; Arun Neupane
This research explores the relationship between corporate dividend policy and shareholder wealth in the context of Nepalese commercial banks. Investors analyze a company's dividend policy, considering factors such as Dividend per Share (DPS), Earnings per Share (EPS), Dividend Payou t Ratio (DPR), and Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio, to assess its potential for generating returns and creating shareholder value. Effective dividend policies, characterized by consistent and attractive dividends, are seen as a sign of a company's financial stability and growth prospects. Investors are more likely to invest in companies with a strong track record of dividend payments, as it fosters trust and attracts capital. Conversely, poor dividend policies can deter investors and negatively impact shareho lder wealth. Dividend policy influences investors in several ways. Investors rely on financial statements, analyst reports, and market data to assess a company's dividend policy and its implications for shareholder wealth. Strong dividend policies can lead to higher Market Price per Share (MPS), increased investor interest, and potentially lower required rates of return. Dividend policy also impacts a company's risk profile. Effective dividend policies, transparency, and consistent communication can attract risk averse investors. Conversely, poor dividend policies, lack of transparency, or inconsistent communication can increase perceived risk and discourage investors. In conclusion, corporate dividend policy plays a significant role in determining sharehold er wealth. Investors assess a company's dividend policy to evaluate its ability to generate returns and manage risk. Positive perceptions of a company's dividend policy attract investment and enhance shareholder wealth, while negative perceptions can deter investment and reduce shareholder value. Understanding this connection is crucial for both investors and companies seeking to maximize shareholder wealth in the Nepalese banking sector.
