Capital Markets The capital markets are made up of securities that have a life of one year

or longer (often much longer).

The primary participants raising funds in the capital markets are the U.S. Treasury; other agencies of the federal, state, and local governments; and corporations.

The United States is a three-sector economy in which households, corporations, and governmental units allocate funds among themselves.

Securities markets consist of organized exchanges and over-the counter markets.

Security markets are considered to be efficient when prices adjust rapidly to new information.

Security legislation is intended to protect investors against fraud, manipulation, and illegal insider trading.

Money and Capital Markets

Money market: Short-term market for securities maturing in a year or less.

Capital market: Long-term market for securities with maturities greater than one

year.More often, companies search all capital

markets including world markets for capital

at the lowest cost.

Long-term financing of the U.S. is no longer a major issue as the governmentreached a surplus in 1998 and is projected to continue in this situation for thenext decade.

Large amounts of long-term capital in the United States have been suppliedby foreigners. Foreign investors have been attracted by the relatively highinterest rates and political stability available in the United States.

Government Securities

Government Securities Federally sponsored credit agencies, charged with

funding the large numbers of federal programs, issue securities in the capital markets. Agencies such as theFederal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Banks, the Farm Credit Banks, has variedwidely but has been rising in percentage terms as theU.S. Treasury has no need to finance large deficits byselling U.S. government securities.

State and local municipalities are usually required by law to balance their budgets so their borrowing is often short-term or project related. The interest paid on these issuesis exempt from federal income tax.

Corporate Securities

• New issues of corporate securities have been predominantly bonds in recent years. Bonds are more widely used to raise capital when interest rates are low.

• Though very similar to debt, the lack of the tax deductibility of preferred stock dividends has constrained the popularity of preferred stock issues.

• New issues of common stock mushroomed in the late 1990s as the dot.com craze swept the IPO market.

The majority of internally generated funds are not included in reported earnings.Funds from operations but not included in reported earnings through the depreciationprocess provide the primary "source" of internal funding. Although the percentagebetween retained earnings and depreciation varies based on profits and capital spending patterns.

The Role of the Security Markets

Securities markets aid the allocation of capital between the sectors of the economy and the financial intermediaries.

Security markets enable the demanders of capital to issue securities by providing the necessary liquidity for investors in two ways:a. Corporations are able to sell new issues of

securities rapidly at fair competitive prices.b. The markets allow the purchaser of securities to

convert the securities to cash with relative ease.

The Organization of the Security Markets

Several national and regional exchanges provide a centrally located auction market for buyers and sellers of securities who use the services of brokers having representatives on the floor of the exchanges.

The primary exchanges are the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) which merged with NASDAQ in 1998.

Exchanges of lesser importance include the Midwest, Pacific, Detroit, Boston, Cincinnati, and PBW (Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington) exchanges. Ninety percent of the volume on these regional Exchanges is from dually traded stocks on the NYSE.

Page 14: Capital Markets The capital markets are made up of securities ...

New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)

The NYSE accounts for approximately 80 percent of the dollar volume of all listed stock traded in the U.S.

To be listed on the NYSE, firms must meet certain minimum requirements pertaining to earnings power, level of assets, market value and number of shares of publicly-held common stock, and the number of shareholders.

Beginning in August 2000, U.S. security markets started trading in decimals rather than fractions. The impact of this move by the SEC is still being scrutinized.

Page 15: Capital Markets The capital markets are made up of securities ...

The global nature of capital markets is evidenced by the increasing volume and security listings on stock markets around the world.

The Tokyo stock exchange is the largest in the world and companies such as Intel, IBM, and McDonald's trade there and on the Frankfurt stock exchange.

Likewise, many foreign companies trade on the NYSE.

As more companies trade on exchanges around the world in multiple time zones, the easier it will be for trading to be continuous for 24 hours per day.

• Finance In Action: Long Term Capital Management LP- The Collapse of a Hedge Fund

One of the most significant events in the capital markets during the 1990s was the near collapse of Long Term Capital when Russia defaulted on their sovereign debt. To make matters more intense for the academic community, two Nobel Laureates, Myron Scholes and Robert Merton, were involved with the firm. No matter how smart you are, you can make mistakes if you misjudge your risks or take too many risks. Markets are not always rational and when markets become perverse, even smart people can lose money.

• Corporations that do not meet listing requirements or choose not to be listed on the exchanges are traded in the over-the-counter market (OTC).

Page 18: Capital Markets The capital markets are made up of securities ...

– 1. The OTC market is a national network of dealers linked by computer display terminals, telephones, and teletypes.

– 2. OTC dealers own the securities they trade and seek to earn a profit from their buying and selling, whereas brokers receive a commission as an agent of the buyer or seller of securities.

Page 19: Capital Markets The capital markets are made up of securities ...

– 3. The National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) which supervises the OTC market has divided the OTC market into groups:a. The National Market List is composed of the largest OTC companies.b. The National List includes smaller firms centered in one state or city.c. The Supplemental List includes very small developmental companiesand closely held firms with very few shares available for trading

– 4. Due to the lower prices of OTC stocks, the dollar volume of exchange listed stocks is larger. Due to the great amount of debt securities traded OTC, however, the OTC market is the largest market for all security transactions in total dollars.

• Electronic Communications Networks (ECNs) are electronic trading systems that

match, buy and sell orders at specified prices. ECNs lower the cost of trading by

creating better execution, more price transparency and by allowing “after hours

trading.”

Market Efficiency

• A. Criteria of Efficiency– 1. Rapid adjustment of prices to new information– 2. Continuous market; successive prices are close– 3. Market is capable of absorbing large dollar

amounts of securities without destabilizing the price.

• B. The more certain the income stream, the less volatile price movements will be and the more efficient the market will be.

• C. Screen based trading systems versus floor trading is becoming a trend that most observers would agree increase market efficiency.

Page 22: Capital Markets The capital markets are made up of securities ...

Market Efficiency

• D. The efficiency of the stock market is stated in three forms.– 1. Weak form: Past price information is

unrelated to future prices, trends cannot be predicted and taken advantage of by investors.

– 2. Semi-strong form: Prices reflect all public information.

– 3. Strong form: Prices reflect all public and private information.

Page 23: Capital Markets The capital markets are made up of securities ...

Market Efficiency

• E. A fully efficient market, if it exists, precludes insiders and large institutions from making profits from security transactions in excess of the market in general.

• F. The efficiency of the market is debatable but most would agree that the movement is toward greater efficiency.

Regulation of the Security Markets

• Organized securities markets are regulated by the Securities and Exchange

Commission (SEC) and through self-regulation. The OTC market is regulated by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).

Page 25: Capital Markets The capital markets are made up of securities ...

Four major laws govern the sale and trading of securities.1. Securities Act of 1933: This act was a response to abuses present in the securities markets during the Wall Street "Crash" era. Its purpose was to provide full disclosure of all pertinent investment information on new corporate security issues.

2. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 created the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and empowered it to regulate the securities markets.

3. The Securities Acts Amendments of 1975 directed the SEC to supervise the development of a national securities market, prohibited fixed commissions on public transactions, and prohibited financial institutions and insurance companies from buying stock exchange memberships to save commission costs.

4. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 authorized an independent private-sector board to oversee the accounting profession. The act was in response to the many accounting frauds perpetrated on investors by companies such as Enron, World Com, and Tyco.
