Financial Markets:
Transfer of Capital
Financial markets play a critical role in capitalisteconomy. Financial markets help facilitate thetransfer of funds from saving surplus units to
saving deficit units i.e. transfer money from thosewho have the money to those who need it.
See Figure 2-1 for three ways to transfer capital inthe economy:
Direct transfer Indirect transfer using the investment banker Indirect transfer using a financial intermediary

Role of Venture capitalist
Venture capitalist are the prime source offunding for start-up companies andcompanies in turnaround situations.Funding for such ventures are very risky, butcarry the potential for high returns.
The borrowing firm may not have the optionof pursuing public offering due to: small size,no record of profits, and uncertain futuregrowth prospects.

Indirect transfer(using investmentbanks)
Here the investment bank acts as a linkbetween the firm (needing funds) and the
investors (with surplus funds)

Transfer Using
investment banks (IB)
Corporation sells shares to IB.ex: 5m shares at $10 per share
Investment BankPays $50m to the Corporation
IPO Investment Bank tries to sell those shares
in the Stock market for more than $50m

Indirect Transfer
Indirect transfer(using financialintermediary):
Here the financial intermediary (such as
mutual funds) collects funds from savers inexchange of its own securities (indirect).
The collected funds are then used toacquire securities (such as stocks andbonds, direct) from firm.

Public Offering Both individuals andinstitutional investors have the opportunity topurchase securities. The securities are initially
sold by the managing investment bank firm. Theissuing firm never actually meets the ultimatepurchaser of securities.
Private Placement The securities are offered
and sold to a limited number of investors.

Primary Market (initial issue) Market in which new issues of a securities are sold to initial
buyers. This is the only time the issuing firm ever gets any
money for the securities. Example: Google raised $1.76 billion through sale of shares
to public in August 2004.
Seasoned Equity Offering: It refers to sale of additionalshares by a company whose shares are already publiclytraded.
Example: Google raised $4.18 billion in September 2005

Primary versus
secondary markets (cont.)
Secondary Market (subsequent trading) Market in which previously issued securities are traded. The
issuing corporation does not get any money for stockstraded on the secondary market.
Example: Trading among investors today of Google stocks.
Primary and secondary markets are regulated bySEC. Firms have to get approval from SEC before
the sale of securities in primary market. Firms mustprovide financial information to SEC on a regularbasis (ex. Financial statements) to protect investors.

OTC
If firms do not meet the listing requirements of the exchange,and/or wish to avoid higher reporting requirements and feesof exchanges, it may choose to trade on OTC.
OTC (Over-the-Counter) market refers to all securitiesmarket except organized exchanges. There is no specificgeographic location for OTC market. Most transactions aredone through a network of security dealers who are knownas broker-dealers and brokers. Their profit depends on theprice at which they are willing to buy (bid price) and the price
at which they are willing to sell (ask price). Most prominent OTC market for stocks is NASDAQ.

for securities is paid to the issuing firm before the
securities are sold, there is a risk to theinvestment bank(s).
Distributing: Once the securities are purchased from issuing
firm, they are distributed to ultimate investors. Advising:
On timing of sale, type of security etc.

4. Rates of Return in the
Financial Markets
Rates of return over long periods See Figure 2-3
Higher returns are associated with higher risk(principle 3). Figure also shows that investorsdemand compensation for inflation and otherelements of risk (such as default).

Some terms
Opportunity Cost Rate of return on next best investmentalternative to the investor
Standard Deviation Dispersion or variability around the mean
rate of return in the financial markets
Real Return Return earned above the rate of inflation
Maturity Premium Additional return required by investors inlong-term securities to compensate for greater risk of pricefluctuations on those securities caused by interest rate changes
Liquidity Premium Additional return required by investors insecurities that cannot be quickly converted into cash at areasonably predictable price.

Interest rate levels
Interest rate levels and inflation are displayedin Table 2-2 and Figure 2-4. We observe:
A direct relationship between inflation and interestrates.
The returns are affected by the degree of inflation,default premium, maturity premium and liquidity
premium.

5. Interest Rate Determinants
Nominal interest rate = Real risk free rate + Inflationrisk premium + Default Risk premium + MaturityPremium + Liquidity Premium
Thus the nominal rate or quoted rate for securities isdriven by all of the above risk premium factors. Suchknowledge is critical when companies set an interestrate for their issues.

Term Structure of Interest
Rates or Yield to Maturity
The graph shows the relationship between a debtsecuritys rate of return and the length of time untilthe debt matures, where the risk of default is heldconstant.
The graph could be upward sloping (indicating longerterm securities command higher returns), flat (equalreturns for long and short-term securities) or inverted(longer term securities command lower returnscompared to short-term securities).
The graph changes over time. Upward sloping curveis most commonly observed.

6. Finance and the
Multinational firm
Well developed financial markets contribute to the overallgrowth of an economy.
US has well developed financial market that allows for
efficient transfer of capital from savers to users leadingto timely financing of investments.
Multinational firms with excess cash will prefer to invest incountries that have well developed financial market andstable political environment.
Developing countries, with less developed financialmarkets, attract less investment from multinational firms,which contributes to their slower pace of development.
