FOREIGN PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT AND STOCK MARKET PERFORMANCE IN NIGERIA

AHAM NZENWATA

ABSTRACT
This seminar paper investigated the effect of foreign portfolio investment on the performance of the Nigeria stock market. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, data on FPI, market capitalization and All share was collected from the CBN Statistical bulletin and analyzed using simple regression analysis. The findings of the research showed that inflow of foreign portfolio investment into the Nigeria stock market is statistically significant in determining the performance of the stock market. It was therefore conclude that the inflow of foreign portfolio investment into the country is an important source of improved liquidity and better performance in the Nigeria Stock Exchange. We therefore recommend that policies that will attract more foreign capital into the stock market be put in place to further boost performance. To this end, we recommend that more companies be attracted to get listed on the stock exchange to further deepen the market thus increasing trading activities and improving liquidity.

1          INTRODUCTION
Foreign portfolio investment (FPI) consists of securities and other financial assets passively held by foreign investors. It does not provide the investor with direct ownership of financial assets and is relatively liquid depending on the volatility of the market.
The phenomenon of Foreign Portfolio Investment in emerging market economies has always attracted the attention of writers from the theoretical and empirical perspective. Proponents of foreign portfolio investment picture it as adding new resources/capital to the host economy in a way that improves efficiency and stimulates economic growth. It is thus viewed as a panacea for economic development by providing the capital underdeveloped countries desperately need to fill their savings-investment gap (Olotu and Jegbefume 2011).
Most developing countries are characterized by low level of domestic savings, which has impeded the much-needed investment for economic development. In order to attain a desirable level of investment that would ensure sustainable development, developing country needs some foreign investments to bridge the savings-investment gap. The gap when financed through foreign savings comes in the form of capital flows. Capital flows is transmitted through foreign direct investment (FDI), foreign portfolio investment (FPI), draw-down on foreign reserves, foreign loans and credits etc (Obadan, 2004).
Another feature of investment, especially in developing countries of sub-Saharan Africa is the high import content of capital goods. This buttresses the contention in the two gap model (Chenery and Bruno, 1962 and Bacha, 1982), that the lack of foreign exchange may constitute a major constraint to sustain high rates of investment and growth in developing economies. Therefore in countries like Nigeria where domestic and foreign capital goods are highly complementary, the lack of foreign resource to import machinery and equipment will always constitute an impediment to growth. In other word, foreign exchange is a crucial determinant factor in capital formation among developing countries of Africa.
The observed constraints notwithstanding several studies have articulated theoretically, ways in which Foreign Investment can contribute to the growth of developing economies. Some identified channels include increased capital accumulation in the recipient economy, improved efficiency of locally owned firms through contract and demonstration effects, and exposure to competition, technological change, and human capital augmentation, increased exports and improvement and efficiency of capital and financial markets.
However, the extent to which Foreign Investment contributes to growth depends on the economic and social condition or the quality of environment of the foreign investment recipient country (Buckley et al, 2002). This quality of environment relates to the rate of savings in the host country, the degree of openness and the level of technological development. Countries with high rate of savings, open trade regime and high technological product would benefit from increase Foreign Investment to their economies. In addition, Foreign Investment may have negative effect on the growth prospect of the recipient economy if they give rise to a substantial reverse flows and/or if foreign investors obtain substantial or other concessions from the host country.
Foreign portfolio investment, though a recent phenomenon in Nigeria compared to foreign direct investment, Oversea Development Assistance (ODA) and bank loans, were on the increase since the mid-80s. The relative importance of Portfolio investment to a small emerging market like Nigeria has been attributed to the effective role played by the Nigerian capital market in the recent past. This includes the deregulation of the capital market in 1993 which made the federal government to internationalize the market in 1995, with the abrogation of laws that constrained foreign participation in the Nigeria capital market (Olotu and Jegbefume 2011).
Following the abrogation of the Exchange Control Act 1962, foreigners can participate in the Nigerian capital market both as operators and investors. Accordingly, with the internationalization of the Nigerian stock exchange, which was part of the financial liberalization policy in Nigeria in the mid 2000, there were increased inflows of foreign portfolio investment into the Nigeria economy through the capital market (CBN, 2006).
Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) in bond and equity increased dramatically over the last twenty years that by the end of 2005 it surpassed every other type of capital inflows into Nigeria. It should be noted that institutional investors have also become very important. Not only have they increased their share of companies listed on the stock markets, they have also started to invest more in other emerging and developed markets (AFDB/OECD, 2007 in Olotu and Jegbefume 2011).
However, with the global financial and economic crisis that started in 2009, the FPI flow into Nigeria decreased significantly. This seminar paper has the objective of investigating the effect of foreign portfolio investment on the performance of the Nigeria Stock Exchange and by extension on the economy.
2.1   THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
According to the theory of portfolio investment by Hymer (1976), foreign portfolio investors are attracted by the high interest rate because it reduces the borrowing cost; foreign portfolio investor will invest until the interest rate gets equal all over the world therefore it might be said that foreign portfolio investment is affected by domestic interest rate and not by domestic returns. However, we see that this this theory's structure oversimplifies a complex issue when the problems of risk, uncertainty and volatility are introduced.
Therefore, the risk factor in terms of foreign investment volatility ought to be given due consideration. The term volatility is concerned with the international investors' intention to invest for short-term benefits and they withdraw their investment on uncertain conditions (Kodongo & Ojah, 2012). Thus, volatility refers to the uncertainty regarding the flow of FPI in the country.
Portfolio investors also consider the host country exchange rate along with the interest rate. Devaluation of host country currency motivates the foreigners to invest due to higher return (Bleaney & Greenaway, 2001); the fluctuation in real exchange rate increases foreign investment volatility. Moreover, inflation also affects volatility in FPI. Volatility in FPI is enhanced by decrease in return and increase in inflation. Agarwal (1997) suggested that home country low return and high inflation motivates portfolio investors to invest in other countries where inflation is low and return is high.
Mody, Taylor, and Kim, (2001) argued that increase in inflation is linked to decline in foreign portfolio investment. Moreover, foreign portfolio investors are attracted by high returns (Gordon & Gupta, 2003; Froot, O'Connell, & Seasholes, 2001). They argue that stock market is an indicator of performance and investor expectations for host country. Thus, rise in index would increase the stock prices leading to higher returns and ultimately lower the volatility in foreign portfolio investment.
Foreign portfolio investment is chosen on two bases. First, FPI is more volatile in nature so FPI is attaining the attention of regulators, policy makers and investors because it is challenging the monetary policy by affecting macroeconomic variables. Second, the literature has focused on the relationship of capital flows (portflio) to stock market variables so this factor leaves the gap for identifying the effect of foreign portfolio investment on the stock market.
2.2   CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
2.2.1       Foreign Portfolio Investment
Foreign Portfolio Investment and Foreign Direct Investment as embodied within the framework of Foreign Investment are concepts that some researchers including those in the area of finance find difficult to delineate. Below, we shall attempt to put these terms in the proper context by showing briefly their similarities and differences.
Portfolio and Direct Investment have different needs and will react to situations in different ways, driven by the differing motivations of the investors but they cannot be completely separated. There is no identifiable dividing line between portfolio and direct investment, but only an area of overlap where the two merge. For instance, a portfolio investor may be active in the equities market, but equity holdings are also one of the main means of direct investment. At what point does the portfolio investor become a direct investor? The same overlap can also be found with debt holdings.
Corporate bonds are a typical portfolio investment, and in most cases would not be considered a direct investment. But, what in cases where a venture capitalist loans a start-up company a large amount of money, underwriting a large share of the start-up’s assets. The venture capitalist may not hold any evidence of ownership because no shares have been issued, only debt. Nor may he have measurable control over the start-up, but he is actively helping management to run the business efficiently, to boost the likelihood of making good on his investment.
Another way in which foreign direct investment and portfolio are integrated is the associated use of the two types of investment. Direct investors will be engaged in portfolio investment as they manage their cash flows. For example, the treasurer of a large retail chain will be in and out of the capital and money markets as he manages the cash and other financial assets involved in the business. Any classic direct investment of any size and autonomy will have a similar treasurer’s function, and be an active portfolio investor.
Therefore, there is no bright dividing line between portfolio and direct investment, but instead overlap and integration. At what point does portfolio investment become direct? For legal and policy purposes, it is at the point where the investor exerts some measure of control over the underlying economic entity. This does not have to be full control, or even majority control. There can be more than one investor exerting control over an investment – a partnership or joint venture is a familiar examples. The point where the investor gains some real measure of influence over the operation of the investment is the point where he crosses the line from portfolio to direct investment. That will vary with each different type of business structure, and each different investment within that structure.
2.2.2       The Stock Market
The stock market is the market in which shares of publicly held companies are issued and traded either through exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Also known as the equity market, the stock market is one of the most vital components of a free-market economy, as it provides companies with access to capital in exchange for giving investors a slice of ownership in the company. The stock market makes it possible to grow small initial sums of money into large ones, and to become wealthy without taking the risk of starting a business or making the sacrifices that often accompany a high-paying career (Investopedia, 2015).
The stock market lets investors participate in the financial achievements of the companies whose shares they hold. When companies are profitable, stock market investors make money through the dividends the companies pay out and by selling appreciated stocks at a profit called a capital gain. The downside is that investors can lose money if the companies whose stocks they hold lose money, the stocks' prices go down and the investor sells the stocks at a loss.
The stock market can be split into two main sections: the primary market and the secondary market. The primary market is where new issues are first sold through initial public offerings. Institutional investors typically purchase most of these shares from investment banks. All subsequent trading goes on in the secondary market where participants include institutional, foreign and individual investors.
Performance of the stock market is measured using a series of indicators which include market capitalization, the share index and volume of transactions in the market. Market capitalization (market cap) is the market value at a point in time of the shares outstanding of a publicly traded company, being equal to the share price at that point of time times the number of shares outstanding.
As outstanding stock is bought and sold in public markets, capitalization could be used as an indicator of public opinion of a company's net worth and is a determining factor in some forms of stock valuation. While the stock market index (All Share Index) is a measurement of the value of a section of the stock market. It is computed from the prices of selected stocks (typically a weighted average). It is a tool used by investors and financial managers to describe the market, and to compare the return on specific investments (Wikipedia, 2016).
2.4   REVIEW OF EMPIRICAL LITERATURE
The registered increase in Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) in recent years has elicited intense controversy about its implications on the Nigerian economy. While proponents emphasize its positive spillover effects, critics express concern about its volatility and the economy's vulnerability to its inflows. Olotu and Jegbefume (2011) investigated the Place of Foreign Capital Flows in the Nigerian Economic Growth Equation: with special emphasis on Foreign Portfolio Investment. Utilizing the Engle-Granger and Error Correction Models the result revealed that FPI has a positive relationship with the growth rate of real non-oil GDP.
Ekeocha, Ekeocha, Malaolu and Oduh (2012) investigated Modeled the Long Run Determinants of Foreign Portfolio Investment in Nigeria. The study tried to ascertain the long run determinants of foreign portfolio investment (FPI) in Nigeria. Using the finite distributed lag model, the study showed that FPI has a positive long-run relationship with market capitalization, and trade openness in Nigeria.
Ozurumba (2012) investigated the impact of stock market returns on foreign portfolio investment in Nigerian. The ojectives of the study were to identify the relationship between foreign portfolio investment and stock market return, inflation rate and stock market returns. Utilizing the multiple linear regression analysis, the findings showed that foreign portfolio investment has a positive and significant impact on stock market returns while inflation rate has positive but insignificant impact on stock market returns.
Eniekezimene (2013) on the impact of foreign portfolio investment on capital market growth in Nigeria. The study X-rayed the growth of FPI in the market as well as the transmission channels through which changes in FPI affect growth of the market. Using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) methodology with a Parsimonious Error Correction Model Specification, the result shows that foreign portfolio investment has a positive impact on capital market growth with the speed of adjustment from short run to long run.
Onuorah and Akujuobi (2013) studied the Impact of Macroeconomic Indicators on the Performance of Foreign Portfolio Investment in Nigeria. The paper which examined the impact of macro-economic variables on foreign portfolio investments in Nigeria between the periods of 1980-2010 using data were sourced from the World Bank statistical data base. The findings of the studied indicated that macroeconomic variables were found to be statistically insignificant to FPI based on F-statistic computed value. The findings also revealed that there was no run relationship existing between GDP, inflation rate, exchange rate, MS, interest rate and foreign portfolio investment.
Elekwa, Aniebo and Ogu (2016) investigated how Foreign Portfolio Investment affects Employment Growth in Nigeria.  Using single equation reduced form specification and employing data for the period 1980 to 2014, the paper revealed that in the long term, portfolio investment impacts employment growth positively and significantly. This outcome supports the general view in the literature of a positive relationship between portfolio investment and economic growth, and calls attention to this variable which has hardly been considered in employment generation constructs on account of its famed volatility and risk.
Onyeisi, Odo and Anoke (2016) investigated Foreign Portfolio Investment and Stock Market Growth in Nigeria. The which was designed to determine the impact of foreign portfolio investment inflows on stock market growth in Nigeria from 1986 to 2014, used co-integration, vector error correction model and Granger Causality econometric tools showed the existence of long-run significant impact of foreign portfolio investment on stock market growth in Nigeria with the implication that  foreign portfolio investment (FPI) inflows may not contribute positively to the increase in stock market when there is no conducive business environment for foreign investments to thrive in Nigeria
3      METHODOLOGY
We adopted the OLS Regression Analysis Method to analyze the data collected for the purpose of the study. Data used in the study were collected from the CBN statistical bulletin, 2015 edition. As stated earlier, data collected the study was analyzed using a Simple Regression Analysis of the Ordinary Least Squares Method. In its general form, the model is specified as:      y = a + bx + ei . . . . . . . . . . . . (i)
Where: y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, a is the constant term, b is the coefficients of the independent variables and ei is the error term.
For the purpose of this paper, we hypothesize that the inflow of foreign portfolio investment into the stock market will lead to increased performance in in terms of Stock market capitalization (mktcap) and All Share Index (ASI). Thus,
Stock Market Performance    =      f(FPI) . . . . . . . . (ii)
Where Stock market Performance is measured by Stock market capitalization (mktcap) and All Share Index (ASI), it follows that:
Mktcap    =     f(FPI) . . .  . . . . . .. . (iv) and
ASI         =      f(FPI) . . .  . . . . .  . . . . .. . (v)
Where:      FPI   =       Foreign Portfolio Investment
                 Mktcap     =       Market Capitalization
ASI   =       All Share Index
Mktcap    = a + b1FPI + ei . . . . . . . . . . . . (vi)
ASI  = a + b2FPI + ei . . . . .  . . . . . . . . . . . . (vi)
The a priori expectation is that: b1, b2 > 0

The result of data analyses above shows that the value of the coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.582 which indicate that about 58.2% of the variations in foreign portfolio investment can be explained by variations in market capitalization.
Furthermore, the coefficient of regression (B) for the relationship between foreign portfolio investment and stock market capitalization gave a value of 0.0076 with the implication that one unit increase in foreign portfolio investment will lead to a 0.0076 units increase in market capitalization and vice versa.
Finally, the regression result show the computed t-statistic for the coefficient of foreign portfolio investment is 6.249 which is greater than the critical t-statistic of 2.042 @ 0.05 level of significance. This means that there is a statistically significant relationship between foreign portfolio investment and stock market capitalization.

The result of data analyses above shows that the value of the coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.287 which indicate that about28.7% of the variations in foreign portfolio investment can be explained by variations in the All Share Index of the Nigeria Stock Exchange.
Furthermore, the coefficient of regression (B) for the relationship between foreign portfolio investment and All Share Index gave a value of 0.013 with the implication that a unit increase in foreign portfolio investment will lead to a 0.013 units increase in All Share Index of the Nigeria Stock Exchange and vice versa.
Finally, the regression result show the computed t-statistic for the coefficient of foreign portfolio investment is 3.359 which is greater than the critical t-statistic of 2.042 @ 0.05 level of significance. This means that there is a statistically significant relationship between foreign portfolio investment and All Share Index of the Nigeria Stock Exchange.
5.1   DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS CONCLUSIONs AND RECOMMENDATION
From the findings of the study, foreign portfolio investment showed a positive and statistically significant relationship with the performance of the stock market in terms of All Share Index (ASI) and market capitalization (mktcap). This means that increased inflow of FPI into the market will lead better performance. In a similar study, Ozurumba, (2012) found a positive relationship between foreign portfolio investment and stock market returns. Similarly, Eniekezimene, (2013) and Onyeisi, et al (2016) show in their separate studies that foreign portfolio inflows contribute positively long-run relationship with stock market returns and growth. They further conclude that increased FPI lead to increase in stock market when there is a conducive business environment for foreign investments to thrive in Nigeria.
Considering the above, we conclude that the inflow of foreign portfolio investment into the country is an important source of improved liquidity and better performance in the Nigeria Stock Exchange. We therefore recommend that policies that will attract more foreign capital into the stock market be put in place to further boost performance. To this end, we recommend that more companies be attracted to get listed on the stock exchange to further deepen the market thus increasing trading activities and improving liquidity.
