Types of Financial Assets:Lending
and Borrowing Funds

“New (physical) investment projects - have to be financed.
Transfer of existing physical assets to more productive uses: ( eg. ‘Low’ stock price is a signal for another firm, to raise funds for a takeover by more efficient managers - ‘the market for corporate control’)
Market prices/returns reflect the ‘scarcity’ of funds and the financial system is supposed to allocate “funds” to the most productive/ profitable ‘physical investments’ - competition for funds.
LENDING AND BORROWING

Financial system:
moves “funds” between borrowers and lenders.
Allows some to “spend” before they have earned the “income” and others to defer “spending” (ie. Save)
- “intertemporal re-allocation” of cash flows.
LENDING AND BORROWING

TYPES OF FINANCIAL ASSET(MARKETS)
Financial assets differ in maturity frequency of expected payments uncertainty of cash flow or final price
Shareholders own the firm and control managers via voting rights over the composition of Board of Directors.
Debt holders (=bonds holders +bank loans) do not ‘own’ the firm - but debt holders do have influence on the managers - can put the firm into liquidation

Money market assets (maturity < 1 year)
1) bank deposits/loans, in Eurodollars/Yen etc. - OTC(non- marketable)
2) Commercial Bills, Certificates of Deposit CDs, - (also sold in secondary market)
3) Have a known return (=yield/interest rate), if held to maturity
Raising/Lending Funds: Short-term
Copyright K. Cuthbertson, D. Nitzsche

Raising/Lending Funds: Bonds
Government Bonds:
T-bonds/Notes (UK = gilts), - long term- usually ‘fixed interest’ ($ coupon) payments- plain vanilla or ‘straight’ bonds
Corporate bonds,( including ‘preference shares’)- entitled to cash payments before equity holders
-restrictive covenants(eg. cannot sell buildings)
- Floating Rate Notes, FRNs- convertibles- callable bonds

Shares (equities, common stocks)
- no maturity- variable payments (= dividends)- last to be paid
Issuing Shares
- IPO (‘going to market’ - e.g. LastMinute.com )- Rights Issue - additional shares to existing equity holders- Script Issue - ‘free shares’, no new funds, - Equity Warrants
Raising Funds: Shares/Equity

Junk/High-yield/ low-grade / BONDS - I.e. below BBB rated- subordinated debt (last in interest payment and ‘debt-
queue’)
- used for management buy-outs MBO’s - usually highly leveraged buy-outs LBO’s (e.g. buy-out of RJR Nabisco)
- used for hostile takeovers (acquirer retains all voting rights in the new company)
- often have equity kickers attached therefore often issued by ‘young’ fast growing firms (media, cable TV)
Raising Funds: Mezzanine Finance

OTHER MARKETS
Foreign Exchange:
Spot market for foreign currencies = trade finance + speculators
All of the above are known as “cash” or “spot” markets (ie. for immediate delivery of the “asset”)
Derivatives Markets
- forwards \ futures (delivery in the future)- options (delivery is “optional” )- swaps ( eg swap USD payments for FRF payments) - used in ‘financial engineering’ / ‘structured finance’

Government
If taxes are insufficient to cover expenditure
• Budget Deficit = G - T ( ‘PSBR’ in the UK )
Financed by: a) printing money b) issuing debt
- issuing more debt can raise interest rates and may ultimately lead to debt crises (eg. Latin American debt crises 1980s, Russian bond defaults July 98)
- EMU deprives you of “printing money” or setting your own interest rate but it does not stop you issuing your own bonds (denominated in Euros).

Financial “prices” (eg stock/bond) prices respond to changing views about the future
“Markets”, - look forward ! (The past is only relevant in that it may help to predict the future).
Hence even if everyone acts “rationally”, we expect (Stock) market prices to be volatile as they immediately “embody” changing views about all future prospects for companies (This is referred to as “news”, that is “new information”)
But are markets “excessively volatile” ? (Greenspan/Shiller, “Irrational (Over)-Exuberance” - bubbles, crashes, noise traders)

SPREADS and YIELDS
Spread is the difference between two “prices”
Bid-Ask Spread: Market maker Buys at the “Bid” (eg $100 ) and sells at the “offer” or “ask” (eg. $102) . Bid-ask spread above = $2
Yield (eg. 10 % p.a.) on an interest bearing asset (eg. T-Bill, T-Bond, Eurodollar deposit )~ measure of the “return” on your investment when you hold the asset to maturity
Spread on interest rates = Long rate(10yr) - short rate(3m)Copyright K. Cuthbertson, D. Nitzsche
![Page 21: 11/9/2001 LECTURE : MARKETS,FIRMS AND INVESTORS Copyright K. Cuthbertson and, D. Nitzsche K. Cuthbertson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649d555503460f94a33562/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Prices and Returns:
HPR = Capital Gain + Running(Dividend) Yield
Shares P1 = 100 P2 = 110 D2 = 5
HPR = 10% + 5% = 15%
Bonds P1 = 100 P2 = 110 Coupon = 2HPY = 10% + 2% = 12%
Holding Period Return ( Yield):
Is the “return” when the asset is sold prior to maturity

Nominal v Real Returns (yields): Risk free asset
Risk Free(safe) Asset = T-Bills or Bank deposit
Fisher Equation:
Nominal risk free return,r = real return + expected inflation
Real return : reward for ‘waiting’ (3% p.a.) = increase in number of Harrods Hampers you can buy ….at the end of the year.
(e.g. current 1-year spot rate = 5.5%, implies expected inflation over the coming year = 2.5%)
Indexed bonds earn a known real returnCopyright K. Cuthbertson, D. Nitzsche

Nominal “Risky” Return = risk free rate + risk premium = r + rp
where:rp = risk premium =‘market risk’ + liquidity risk + default risk
We can measure the historic (or ex-post) risk premiume.g. Av. Return = 12% p.a. Av. r = 4% p.a.
Then ex-post (equity) risk premium = 8% p.a.
Nominal “RISKY” Return (eg. On EQUITIES)

Uses of Forward Rates
Uses of Forward Rates
Today, you can “lock in” an interest rate which will apply between two periods in the future (e.g. between end of year-1 and end of year-2, denoted f12 )
Also used in Pricing
Forward Agreements replaced by:
Forward Rate Agreements , FRA’s
-Floating Rate Notes, FRN’s
-Interest Rate Futures Contracts
-Floating rate receipts, in an interest rate swap

Two period investment horizon - riskless investments.
Choices
1) Invest your $1 for 2-years at r2 (‘spot rate’)
1) Receipts at t=2 are $1 ( 1 + r2 )2
2) Invest $1 for 1-year at r1 and today purchase an FRA to invest between t=1 and t=2 at a quoted rate f12
2) Receipts at t=2 are $1( 1 + r1 ) (1 + f12 )
These transactions are riskless hence investors will switch their funds (between 1-year, 2-year and the FRA ) until the 3 interest rates are such that the amounts received at t=2, are equal.
Relationship between forward rate and spot rates

Copyright K. Cuthbertson, D. Nitzsche
Equating 1 and 2
$1( 1 + r2 )2 = $1( 1 + r1 ) (1 + f12 ) Therefore ( 1 + f12 ) = ( 1 + r2 )2 / ( 1 + r1 )
Or, approximately (Let r1 = 9% p.a. and r2 = 10% pa )
f12 = 2 . r2 - r1 = 2 (10) - 9 = 11%
1) Correct forward rate is derived from current spot rates (yield curve)
2) f12 is the rate a bank should quote
3) Also it can be shown that f12 is the market’s best forecast of what the “the one-year rate in one-years time” (denoted Er1t+1 ) will be

SELF STUDYAlgebra of General Calculation of Forward Rates
Calculate other forward rates from today’s spot rates is pretty ‘intuitive’ since the superscripts and subscripts ‘add up’ to the same amount on each side of the equals sign
( 1 + r03 )3 = ( 1 + r02 )2 . (1 + f23 )1
( 1 + r03 )3 = ( 1 + r01 )1 . (1 + f13 )2
In general (there is no need to memorise this!)
fm,n = [ n / (n -m) ] rn - [ m / (n -m) ] rm
e.g. f1,3 = [ 3 / 2 ] r3 - [ 1 / 2 ] r1

THE YIELD CURVE
Why are long rates of interest often higher than short rates of interest ?
- can long rates be lower than short rates ? Yes !
- Expectations Hypothesis
If we know the shape of the yield curve (ie. All the spot rates) then we can calculate forward rates for all maturities

Expectations Hypothesis (EH): Term Structure
Arbitrage: assuming risk neutrality
$1.( 1+ r2 ) 2 = $1. (1+r1) . [ 1 + Er12 ]
Approx. r2 = ( 1 / 2 ) . [ r1 + Er12 ]
EH implies
1.Long-rate r2 is weighted average of current (r1) and
expected future (one-period) short rates Er12

Upward Sloping Yield Curve
Rising yield curve implies that short rates are expected to be higher in the future and this is probably because inflation is expected to rise in future years
Inflation Prediction from the yield curveObserve the current yield curve
r2 = 6%, r1 = 5%, then f12 = 7.0%
If real rate = 3%, then ( from Fisher effect)
Expected annual inflation in 1-years time
= 7 - 3 = 4%
