...MICROFINANCE STANDARDS RATIOS A maturing microfinance industry needs standardized methods to measure and analyze financial performance and risk management. The proposed Microfinance Financial Reporting Standards: Measuring Financial Performance of Microfinance Institutions (the Standards) seeks to address this need. These Standards are designed for use by all microfinance institutions (MFIs): non-governmental organizations, non-bank financial institutions or companies, commercial banks, rural banks, credit unions, and cooperatives. Below are the detailed description of each ratio and table. 1. Profitability Ratios All MFIs, from non-profit NGOs, to for-profit banks, must be profitable over the long-term in order to be self-sustaining. Profitability allows an MFI to continue operating and to grow. Profitability ratio is any ratio that measures a company's ability to generate cash flow relative to some metric, often the amount invested in the company. Profitability ratios are useful in fundamental analysis which investigates the financial health of companies. An example of a profitability ratio is the return on investment which is the amount of revenue an investment generates as a percentage of the amount of capital invested over a given period of time. Other examples include return on sales, return on equity, and return on common stock equity. Operational Self-Sufficiency (originally called “Operating Self-Sufficiency” or OSS) and Financial Self-Sufficiency (FSS)...

...INDEX FUNDS.. FM n FS PROJECT Active and Passive Management Before we get into the details of index funds, it's important to understand the two different styles of mutual-fund management: passive and active. Most mutual funds fit under the active management category. Active management involves the art of stock picking and market timing. This means the fund manager will put his/her skills to the test trying to pick securities that will perform better than the market. Because actively managed funds require more hands-on research and because they experience a higher volume of trading, their expenses are higher. Passively managed funds, on the other hand, do not attempt to beat the market. A passive strategy instead seeks to match the risk and return of the stock market or a segment of it. You can think of passive management as the buy-and-hold approach to money management. Defn- An index fund a collective investment scheme that aims to replicate the movements of an index of a specific financial market, or a set of rules of ownership that are held constant, regardless of market condition. An index fund is a mutual fund which merely invests in the securities in the index. It is passive, in the sense that absolutely no effort is made to produce results better than the index. HISTORY: Index funds haven't been around forever -- how did they come about? Long ago, there was a student at the University of Chicago who studied modern ideas of finance taught...

...Recommendation In order to meet the stated objectives of four stops per hour and 5,000 deliveries per day, our official recommendation is that an investment in management systems will be absolutely necessary to achieve those goals. They simply cannot continue to achieve their growth targets with the incomplete system they have in place presently. CEO Claud Germain touts the company focus as one of logistical execution. An absolute requisite for excellence in logistics are analytics and support systems. Furthermore, Gateway as an e-tailer will need to enhance their purchasing systems and include mobile purchasing applications and software that further bolster the recommended technological improvements. Square is a good company to consider with iPad, iPhone, and android support built in with the hardware that attaches to those devices seamlessly. Dominque’s first option of extending driver shifts comes with a massive increase in potential problems. Having drivers on the road for extended periods of time provides the propensity for increases in accidents, mistakes in delivery and overall compounds the likelihood of human error to appear. The bottom line is tired and overworked drivers equal unsafe and unhappy drivers. This move would also require significant investment in staff support to ensure service levels would remain adequate. The second option was to bolster the RIMMS system to enhance the analytical capabilities to include profitability measures as well as improved...

...PJM505 - Quantitative Methods in PJM Technical write up on Software tools available for project management to help managers to use quantitative analysis Project Management: A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources. And a project is unique in that it is not a routine operation, but a specific set of operations designed to accomplish a singular goal. So a project team often includes people who don’t usually work together – sometimes from different organizations and across multiple geographies. The development of software for an improved business process, the construction of a building or bridge, the relief effort after a natural disaster, the expansion of sales into a new geographic market — all are projects. And all must be expertly managed to deliver the on-time, on-budget results, learning and integration that organizations need. Project management, then, is the application of knowledge, skills and techniques to execute projects effectively and efficiently. It’s a strategic competency for organizations, enabling them to tie project results to business goals — and thus, better compete in their markets. Microsoft Project has a qualitative risk analysis methodology capability But what about quantitative cost and schedule risk analysis? Quantitative risk analysis gives the project manager the ability to see how a project schedule will be affected if...

...RFID Location Finding and Tracking System Hamza Ahmed Hassan Nadim Information System Department Arab Academy for Science and Technology and Maritime Transport Cairo, Egypt hamzanadim@gmail.com Abstract—For years tracking and identifying objects has been a real concern to always upgrade and improve to work more efficiently and effectively. In this paper we talk about one of the most important tracking systems and one of the most popular ones as well which is the RFID (Radio-frequency identification). RFID is used in many applications such as medical, military , shopping, tracking goods and shipments and many others. The RFID is a really easy way of simplifying and easing your everyday tasks. RFID has recently being favorably consider as a cost effective alternative for indoor location tracking and other tracking systems. Introduction Radio-Frequency identification (RFID) is an emerging wireless technology that uses IC chips to track, monitor and uniquely identify different tagged objects to the main systems using radio waves. RFID was first implemented by the English Royal air force in World War II to identify incoming planes towards its shores and always be prepared for the devastating and continuous raids on them by the German Luft-Waffe (German Air Force).By applying a wide range of Radars on its eastern cost, this newly proposed system gave the English around 15minutes prior to each raid to be prepared and intercept the German planes. Recently it...

...9 -9 1 4 -5 6 5 JULY 10, 2014 WILLIAM FRUHAN JOHN BANKO Thompson Asset Management “Thanks, Peter. I look forward to meeting you next week as well.” Allison Thompson cradled the phone and looked out her office window at the Florida riverfront as she considered the possibilities and implications of her conversation with Peter Landman. As CEO and founder of Thompson Asset Management (TAM), an investment management firm that she had started in Jacksonville, Florida, in 2009, Thompson had grown the firm from a single client and a $500,000 investment to about $83 million in assets under management (AUM) in two funds. TAM had a proven track record of beating benchmarks and managing downside risk. The success of her strategies had brought in new clients each year. In 2014, she was hoping to expand her business. She was looking for larger high-net-worth clients and possibly institutional clients. Peter Landman, an investment officer from her alma mater, was considering TAM as an investment manager for part of the college’s endowment. She wondered if this was the client she had been looking for to expand the business. Company Background With undergraduate degrees in finance and computer science, Thompson joined a quantitative asset management firm in Chicago in 2003. In her five years there, she completed her CFA certification and worked with the portfolio managers to implement quantitative trading strategies. The strategies she helped to develop consistently earned returns...
