THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIVERSIFICATION AND VOLATILITY IN THE SHARE PRICES: EVIDENCE FROM BIST
Öz
This paper, following the review of the relevant literature and setting out a theoretical background surrounding diversification, its reasons and the expected effects, intends to provide an empirical analysis regarding the relationship between volatility of the share prices and the diversification of activity fields of firms traded on Borsa Istanbul (BIST) and listed in the BIST Holding and Investment Companies index. Annual consolidated financial statements for 29 different companies are used between 2009-2016. According to the results, there is a negative relationship between the number of fields of activity and the annual average volatility of the share values. Given the relatively high market risks in emerging markets, such as Turkey, it could be asserted that diversification will continue to be a useful tool in decreasing volatility.
