Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between business group affiliation and stock price informativeness in an emerging market setting. We use stock price synchronicity as a measure, and study the impact of group affiliation -specifically the extent of affiliation, ownership structure and existence of group bank- on firm specific information content. Results reveal that the amount of firm-specific information capitalized into stock prices tends to be lower (higher) when the firm is group-affiliated (unaffiliated), indirectly (directly) owned, and affiliated group has (does not have) a group bank. Additionally, the extent of group affiliation maintains a non-linear relationship with synchronicity, suggesting that the perception of higher versus lower levels of group ownership differs.

Financial Markets, Institutions and Instruments bridges the gap between the academic and professional finance communities. With contributions from leading academics, as well as practitioners from organizations such as the SEC and the Federal Reserve, the journal is equally relevant to both groups. Each issue is devoted to a single topic, which is examined in depth, and a special fifth issue is published annually highlighting the most significant developments in money and banking, derivative securities, corporate finance, and fixed-income securities.
