Research problem One of the most widely used tools to track industry or sector performance in the securities market is sector indices. These are the essential tools for investors to follow up sector movements as well as to see the trend in those movements. However, the securities market of Vietnam still lacks of an comprehensive and effective sector indices tools since the official market indices of the securities market of Vietnam (VN-Index and HASTC-Index) are to measure the overall market performance rather than any particular sector. This thesis ―A study on sector index of stock market and proposal for development of FPTS sector index‖ is aimed at give out a detailed proposal for the development of FPTS sector indices.
Objectives Study sector index definitions. Study sector index application and calculation methodology. Compare and analyze most known international and local sector indices. Aims Give out detailed proposals for the development of FPTS sector index family.
1 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com A study on sector index of stock market - proposal for development of FPTS sector index 1. Research question: In order to achieve the objectives of the thesis, the author of thesis will try to answer the following questions: What are definition, types and applications of sector indices? What are the calculation methods of sector indices? What are the most known international and local sector indices? What are the differences and similarities among them? How to select members of FPTS sector indices? How to calculate FPTS sector indices? What are the core FPTS sector back-end functionalities and frond-end interfaces (user requirement description)? 1. Method/Approaches Empirical method Approaches: statistics 1. Scope of work This thesis study most widely mentioned sector indices (both international and local) by the time of finishing this thesis (August, 2008).
Data resources Data and material for this study will be taken from different sources as following: Database and working papers from FPTS analyst department 2 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com A study on sector index of stock market - proposal for development of FPTS sector index White paper, published methodology and other available documents on websites of international and domestic indices Other resources: Internet forum, Google searches… 1. Method The thesis uses the empirical method, interview and case study in the study process 1. Significance This research presents clearly and systematically the theory of sector indices. This theory is good references and can be applied to develop new indices for any enterprises or organizations.
On the practice, it gives a detailed proposal to develop FPTS sector indices for FPT Securities Company including both methodology, back-end and front-end design and functions. This is a good example and reference for any new sector indices. The first limit of this research is from case study method. This method cannot cover all the theoretical issues of sector indices.
Another limit of this research is the choices of indices for analysis. Although these are the most known sector indices but the number of cases is limited. In addition, all of local indices are just introduced recently, and thus, the data may not be sufficient. Expected result: The study expects to show the following findings: 3 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com A study on sector index of stock market - proposal for development of FPTS sector index Bring systematic knowledge about indices and sector indices Provide a deep analysis of popular international and local sector indices Develop a detailed proposal of FPTS sector indices for FPT Securities Company.
This proposal can also be considered as a specimen for other new sector indices 1. Follow – up (potential) Further study can also be carried out to fine-tune the backend functions and front-end user interface and functions after the official launch of FPTS sector indices and receiving the feedbacks from FPTS clients. Short introductions Due to the standardized thesis format and for the sake of clarity, after the introduction to its topic, this thesis is divided into three chapters as follows: 1. Chapter 1: Theory foundation This chapter presents to the reader what other authors have written on the chosen subjects, which cover mainly definition, types, applications and calculation of sector indices.
The chapter seeks to give the topic depth and perspective, and further establish a basis on which the analysis is built. Chapter 2: Analysis of sector indices This chapter analyzes the most 5 international and local well-known sector indices in term of index description, membership requirements, sector classification and calculations. A detailed comparison of the two groups are also presented 4 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com A study on sector index of stock market - proposal for development of FPTS sector index 1. Chapter 3: proposal for developing FPTS sector index This chapter, after listing the objectives of developing FPTS sector indices, presents detailed proposal for FPTS sector indices methodology, membership requirements and user requirement description for FPTS sector indices.

Definition of market index and sector index According to Wikipedia: ―In economics and finance, an index is a single number calculated from a set of prices or of quantities. Examples are a price index, a quantity index (such as real GDP), a market performance Index (such as a labor market index / job index or a stock market index). Values of the index in successive periods (days, years, etc.) summarize level of the activity over time or across economic units (regions, countries, etc.
According to Standard and Poor’s: ―An index is a single descriptive statistic that summarizes the relative change in an underlying group of variables‖. In case of a securities market index, that underlying variables are prices of securities available in the market including stock, bond, derivatives. A market index is designed to measure price changes of an overall securities market. A sector index is a market index which is designed to measure the performance of a distinct industry sector.
Type of market indices Over time, many indices have been created, maintained and improved by financial institutions in the world. Indices can be classified by many characteristics of indices. These characteristics groups indices into groups for the purpose of classification. These characteristics include but not limited to: 1.
Sector or industry of index members 6 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com A study on sector index of stock market - proposal for development of FPTS sector index 2. Geographic location: where the members of indices resides 3. The nature of index members: whether they are equity, bond or commodity 4. Market capitalization or size of index members 5.
Style (value or growth) of index members 6. Dividend payout ratio of its stock members 1. By industry (Sector indices) When in an index includes all (or representatives) stocks of an industry or sector, that index is a sector index and measures the performance of its industry sector. By geographic location Global indices: include a set of investable equities around the globe that track the performance of the global equity market.
Regional indices: track the performance of regional equity markets such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific or Europe. National indices: track the performance of the equity market in a single country such as US, Australia and Hong Kong market index. By the nature of index members 1.
