Each portfolioconstructed from 15 stocks based on FTSE 100 using data from year 1997. Mean-variance portfoliooptimization is employed with some financial ratios added as constraints for the Shari’ah portfolio.Annual expected return of each portfolio from 2008 to 2013 is used to calculate Sharpe’s ratio,Treynor ratio and Jensen’s alpha as the performance measurement tools. Macroeconomic variablesare assessed using ordinary least square to examine whether they influence the portfolios’ expectedreturns or not. The result finds that Shari’ah portfolio has a better performance than SRI from year2008 to 2010 shown by higher value of the measurement tools.

This study uses three different approachesto examine efficiency within countries and across countries. The result of this study shows that foreignexchange markets in the ASEAN-5 countries are efficient within countries, but have not been efficientacross countries, especially when the country has a bivariate relationship with Thailand’s foreignexchange market.

"This article contributes to country specific result on the responses of sector stock indices to crudeoil price changes. Using linear and asymmetric models and by studying the association of crude oiland stock price, this article aims to explain about the short-term responses of Indonesian sector stockindices to crude oil price changes. Besides, we also try to figure out whether there are asymmetricresponses within. Our findings suggest that the strength and the sensitivity of this association varyacross sectors, and the effects are positive for all sectors. We also find strong significance of asymmetryreactions for Agriculture and Consumer Goods sector stock returns due to changes in crudeoil price."
