...Alternative Financial Services The world of finance is a growing industry, which helps provide the needs for individuals and businesses alike. Within the field of finance, there are many different sectors such as commercial banking, insurance, investment banking, and most importantly, Alternative Financial Services. The term Alternative Financial Services is described on the Federal Deposit Corporations website as follows: Alternative Financial Services (AFS) is a term often used to describe the array of financial services offered by providers that operate outside of federally insured banks and thrifts (hereafter referred to as "banks"). Check-cashing outlets, money transmitters, car title lenders, payday loan stores, pawnshops, and rent-to-own stores are all considered AFS providers. To sum things up, Alternative Financial Services are basically ways to receive money without using a more traditional way, such as getting a loan from a commercial bank. The different [I would delete “different” – seems repetitive with “incredibly diverse”] types of Alternative Financial Services are incredibly diverse, often described as a melting pot of providers. These different services include car title lenders, pawnshops, rent-to-own stores, and last but not least, payday loan stores. Alternative Financial Services have become increasingly popular since the Great Recession, mainly due to the strict credit regulations among commercial banks. Due to its deep roots in Chattanooga...

...Strategy Template.dot Strategy INDIA INDIA June 28, 2010 BSE-30:17,575 The 100 Billion Dollar Club. We analyze Indian companies and their attributes such as (1) IPR (brand and technology), (2) financial and industrial assets and (3) natural resources that can propel them to US$100 bn market capitalization over a period of time. We also look at global experience to draw conclusions for India; every decade throws up new and interesting names. Finally, we assess operating factors that are required to achieve and sustain US$100 bn market capitalization. Asset-based companies: A few banks can and will get there Other than financial services companies, we are skeptical of any other asset-based company entering the US$100 bn league from India. Asset-based companies require constant reinvestment to grow and return on invested capital is not high enough in ‘mature’ businesses to create meaningful value. Most will trade at and around book value. IPR-based companies: A rarity in India and will likely remain so Infosys and TCS can make it to the US$100 bn league on a 15-16% CAGR in earnings up to FY2021E and 14-15X P/E multiple. However, their headcount-led services business could face issues of (1) scalability, (2) manpower and (3) margin pressure. We don’t see circumstances changing meaningfully in India for creation of large IPR-based companies. Resource-based companies: Few candidates but right policies critical RIL and ONGC are obvious candidates to get to US$100 bn market...

...HCS/577 January 26, 2015 Benjamin Ovando Comparative Summary In the United States, health care is delivered by a complex mixture of government, not-for-profit, and for-profit financial structures.

...The opening up financial industry is not only one of the most important goals for service trading liberalization, but a significant promise our country made when joining the WTO. In the several round of the negotiations on the issue of China’s joining, almost all the negotiating parties, especially developed countries, put forward a relatively high demand on the openness of financial industry. In order to join the WTO, China had to make a promise to open up financial industry in a planed and steady way, and the Schedule of Specific Commitment in the documents appended thereto of the Agreement on Financial services is a measure of the degree of openness Because banking is the cornerstone of the financial industry, the degree of banking openness decides that of the financial industry in a large part. Therefore, the study of banking openness has been one of hot topics both in the academic field and practice field. Many researchers discuss the challenges and competition we face after join the WTO, so does the strategy to fight against the foreign banks. However, in order to find out the way to strengthen the domestic banks, attention should be paid not only on what we can do inside the country, but what others had done outside the country. We should learn the experience of other countries in order to spot out China’s shortage in banking and improve it.
