FM: Bond Price Vola+lity § A fundamental characteris+c of an op+on-­‐ free bond (not callable, putable, or conver+ble) is that its price changes in the opposite direcIon from the change in yield. § In general, absolute and percentage price change are asymmetric for equal changes in yield -­‐ increases when the yield declines are greater than decreases when the yield increases. § The primary determinants of price vola+lity: § Coupon (rate) – for a given term to maturity and ini+al market yield, percentage price vola+lity is greater the lower the coupon. § Term to maturity – for a given coupon rate and ini+al yield, the longer the term to maturity, the greater the price vola+lity, in terms of percentage price change.

New Bid = 110.25, New Ask = 110.5 Sell = 2,000(110.5) = $221,000 Buy = 8,000(110.25) = $882,000 Sold 6,000 shares yesterday for 6,000(102.50) = $615,000 Loss = $221,000 – $882,000 + $615,000 = –$46,000 Inventory = –2,000 + 8,000 – 6,000 = 0 c. A market maker’s objective is to profit off the bid-ask spread, mostly by creating a market and undercutting the market price. To improve performance, you could have avoided filling the entire buy order. If you sold only a portion of the buy order on the first day, you wouldn’t have to be short 6,000 shares overnight before the price jump. 2. d. Price bond is selling for = 1,000/(1+0.05)^5 = $783.53 e. Maturity: 325.57 = 1,000/(1+0.05)^t (1+0.05)^t = 3.072 t = log(3.072)/log(1.05) = 23 years 3. Future Value of Option A = $1,000 Future Value of Option B = 550(1+0.055)^10 = $939.40 Because the FV of Option A is larger than the FV of Option B ($1,000 < $939.40), Investment A is preferable. 4. Annual interest rate of 5% Annuity PV = (C/r)(1 – 1/(1+r)^t) PV = (10,000/0.05)(1 – 1/(1+0.05)^6) PV = $50,756.92 Perpetuity PV = (C/r)(1/(1+r)^t) PV = (10,000/0.05)(1/(1+0.05)^10) ...

Indian Financial Markets

...Abstract The paper talks about the primary market, FDIs, capital makets, banking sector and infrastructure financing as well. With all these elements in the India Financial market, it happens to be one of the oldest across the globe and is definitely the fastest growing and best among all the financial markets of the emerging economies. The history of Indian capital markets spans back 200 years, around the end of the 18th century. It was at this time that India was under the rule of the East India Company. The capital market of India initially developed around Mumbai; with around 200 to 250 securities brokers participating in active trade during the second half of the 19th century. The journey of Indian financial markets has been of many shades over the last decade. We have seen a lot of progress, but also significant pauses. Many twists and as many turns. Awe inspiring growth punctuated by its gasping lack of inclusiveness. Presumably, these are the teenage pangs of a free economy which is jostling for its rightful place in the Globe. The fastest free market economy is now face to face with the challenges and opportunities to opt for either slow and steady or fast and furious growth, in the next decade. Financial market You are fully aware that business units have to raise short-term as well as long-term funds to meet their working and fixed capital requirements from time to time. This necessitates not only the ready availability of such funds but also a transmission...

Following a top-down approach, we will first discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the overall Canadian economy. We will then perform a similar analysis of the 3 financial markets and will conclude by choosing an appropriate asset allocation and determining the return and risk forecasts of the portfolio. Overall Canadian Economy According to the Bank of Canada, the Canadian economy is experiencing material slack, heightened competitive pressures in the retail sector and slower increases in regulated prices, resulting in a total and core CPI inflation of 1.2% in the second quarter of 2013. As the economy returns to full capacity, inflation is projected to rise gradually to 1.8% by the second quarter of 2014 (refer to appendix 1). The Bank of Canada also mentions that the exchange rate of the CAD is expected to remain at around USD$0.98 over the following year.

The main characteristics of money market are deposits, loans, acceptances and bills of exchange. There are number types of institutions that are operated in money markets, such as, central banks and commercial banks.

Financial Institutions and Financial Markets

...Financial Institutions and Financial Markets FIN/370 Financial Institutions and Financial Markets The state of the economy in the United States is very crucial to businesses and society. The success of the economy is reliant on financial institutions and financial markets. “The market for the creation and exchange of financial assets such as money, stocks, and bonds, plays a central role in organizing and coordinating our economy” (Colander, 2013, p. 643). Financial institutions are essential in providing funding for activities that take place within the financial markets. This paper will describe the roles of financial institutions and financial markets in our economy, as well as compare and discuss the differentiations between markets. The Roles of Financial Institutions Financial institutions play a vital role in the success of our economy and financial markets. They are responsible for financial transactions such as deposits, investments, and loans. Examples of financial institutions are commercial banks, investment banks, credit unions, insurance companies, mutual funds, and brokerages. A few of the well-known U.S. financial institutions are Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase Bank, Wachovia Bank, and Wells Fargo Bank. Financial institutions provide a means of savings for society and businesses. Saving money incurs interest, which allows people and businesses to save additional funds.

Financial Markets

...What are financial markets? Financial markets are any type of financial transaction that helps businesses grow and investors make money, commonly known as the stock market. There are three elements to the stock market: stocks, bonds, and commodities. “Investing in the stock market is a bet on the future and the future is what concerns the stock market the most. While current events such as natural and human made disasters can cause an immediate reaction in the stock market, what drives long-term trends is the future. The stock market is all about what will economic and political conditions today mean to corporate profits in the future. Current events that shake the market, but have no long term effect on the economy or business climate are often shaken off and market conditions return to the previous conditions”. (Ken Little, About.com Guide). Stocks are shares of ownership of a public corporation that are sold to investors to allow the companies to raise a lot of cash at once. The investors profit when the companies increase their earnings, which keeps the U.S. Economy growing. Mutual funds give you the ability to buy a lot of stocks at once. In one way, this makes them an easier tool to invest in than individual stocks. By reducing stock market volatility, they have also had a calming effect on the U.S. economy. When stock prices go up, bond prices go down. There are many different types of bonds, including Treasury bonds, corporate bonds, and municipal bonds...

...Financial Market Homework 1 For 09/30/2014 Azizi Nabil , Ferrary Alexandra , Seneclauze Pierre , Renaud Gigou Review Question (5) : 5. List and explain the three financial factors that influence the value of a business. The three factors that affect the value of a firm's stock price are cash flow, timing, and risk. The Importance of Cash Flow: In business, cash is what pays the bills. It is also what the firm receives in exchange for its products and services. Cash is therefore of ultimate importance, and the expectation that the firm will generate cash in the future is one of the factors that gives the firm its value.(page 9-10) The Effect of Timing on Cash Flows: Owners and potential investors look at when firms can expect to receive cash and when they can expect to pay out cash. All other factors being equal, the sooner companies expect to receive cash and the later they expect to pay out cash, the more valuable the firm and the higher its stock price will be.(page 9-10) The Influence of Risk: Risk affects value because the less certain owners and investors are about a firm's expected future cash flows, the lower they will value the company. The more certain owners and investors are about a firm's expected future cash flows, the higher they will value the company. In short, companies whose expected future cash flows are doubtful will have lower values than companies whose expected future cash flows are virtually certain.(page 9-10) Problem (1-3); ...

...Financial Markets, Questions 1-16. 1. Mutual Fund Services Explain why mutual funds are attractive to small investors. How can mutual funds generate returns to their shareholders? ANSWER: Mutual funds enable small investors to benefit from a portfolio manager’s expertise, and from diversification capabilities due to a large portfolio. Mutual funds can provide dividends or capital gain distributions to investors. In addition, investors also benefit from share price appreciation; they may be able to sell the shares at a higher price then what they paid. 2. Open- versus Closed-End Funds How do open-end mutual funds differ from closed-end funds? ANSWER: Shares of open-end mutual funds can be sold back to the sponsoring investment company, whereas shares of closed-end mutual funds cannot. 3. Load versus No-Load Mutual Funds Explain the difference between load and no-load mutual funds. ANSWER: Load mutual funds require a fee to help pay for marketing commissions. No-load mutual funds do not require such a fee. 4. Use of Funds Like mutual funds, commercial banks and stock-owned savings institutions sell shares, but the proceeds received by mutual funds are used in a different way. Explain. ANSWER: Shares issued by commercial banks and savings institutions are used to obtain capital, which may be used to finance their fixed assets such as land and buildings. Shares issued by mutual funds are used to obtain funds, which are invested in the mutual funds portfolio. 5. ...
