...Are Bankers Undercompensated? The general public, more often than not, has the impression that bankers are the evil seed in the macro corporate environment. So, we need to ask ourselves, why? This notion is primarily based on the fact that “our economy is only as good as our banks,” therefore, CEOs are responsible for the country’s economic performance. Secondly, one of a bank’s many roles is to take care of people’s accounts, thus, in time of crises it is easy for individuals to make them liable for their uncomfortable financial position. Additionally, it is needles to say that these top executives are public figures, making it easy for people to put a name and face as the target of their dissatisfaction. Finally, in order for us to evaluate their compensation we need to draw a parallel between their performance as CEOs and their salary (including bonus), as well as compare them to CEOs in other industries. To assess performance, take into consideration that a country’s GDP is broken-down into four components: personal consumption expenditure, which is further broken down into goods and services; business investment; government spending; and net exports of goods and services. With the greatest US GDP contributor being personal consumption expenditure, services alone accounted for 46% of what the nation produced in 2011; and, the banking industry falls into that category. Moreover, if you take a look at exhibit1, which shows a further detailed breakdown of the US’s GDP...

...Protection to Bankers from disclosure of certain information to public Banking is one of the most risky sectors as far as privacy is concerned due to the highly sensitive and personal nature of information which is often exchanged, recorded and retained. Although India has RBI guidelines and legislations to protect data, this blog post looks at the extent of those protections, and what are the areas that still need to be addressed. Introduction Banking is one of the most at risk sectors for privacy violations due to the sensitive, and highly personal nature of information that is exchanged, recorded, and retained. Individuals must trust banks with personal identifying information, their financial records, the access information to their accounts, and their credit history. Thus, privacy violations are not taken lightly and heavily impact the individual whose privacy was violated. Ways in which a violation of privacy can take place in the banking sector include: sharing personal information with third parties without consent for marketing purposes, stolen or lost banking number or card, sharing personal information or allowing access to third parties without informed consent, inadequate notification to an individual concerning what will be done with their data, collecting more personal data than is necessary, refusal to provide financial records upon request by client, incorrectly recording personal information, and loss of a clients personal data due to improper security...

...FUNCTIONS OF THE GOLDSMITH BANKERS The first recorded history of banks was during ancient Roman and Greek Empires, where the temple priests would store gold and silver for safekeeping. Coins were brought to the temples not only as offerings but also for the payment of taxes. Since the temple was a place of worship and was always guarded, it was also considered a safe and secure place for storing items of value. The temples also lent money to the locals for trading purposes and exchanged foreign coins for local coins. During the medieval period, modern banking first began in Italy and then in Holland where banks facilitated the growing trade between Europe and far East. (Wikipedia: History of Banking). In areas where formal banking systems had not yet been established, goldsmiths were performing the necessary money lending and exchange transactions (Black, reading 4-3, p.2). The number of goldsmith-bankers in London has been estimated at 32 in 1670, 44 in 1677, and 42 in 1700(Goldsmith-Banking: Mutual Acceptance and Interbank Clearing in Restoration London. Quinn, Stephen). Edward Backwell was one of the many goldsmith bankers who had established a network of money lending business in London. Along with selling and trading precious metal jewellery and articles, he accepted deposits of gold from merchants for safekeeping; paid interest on the deposits; lent money on interest to the Government and the overseas trading companies; and exchanged foreign coinage (Black, reading...

These banks were facing the possibility of bankruptcy, and in turn the American government had an increasing need for these banks as the means to fund the necessary investments in the economy. 13 bankers, breaks down the American banking industry in how they have grown so big, so profitable, that they have become resistant to regulations. The banks grown to the enormous that the stability of the economy was dependent, giving they a political influence by pouring money into campaigns of congressional candidates and congressmen, assuring investment banks to maintain influence and position in the White House and the Treasury department. Theses “megabanks” had balance sheet assets that accounted for more than 60 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. In March of 2009, the presidents of thirteen of these “Megabanks” met at the White House with the President, Obama that gave a message, “everybody has to pitch in. We’re all in this together” –President Obama (13 Bankers, page 4) this message giving a clear indicator the thirteen bankers needed the government and in turn, the government needed these 13 bankers to maintain stability of the economy.

...and polished pitch book. Typically, pitch book presentations would be created in PowerPoint; and then presented to the whole class for grading. Future bankers would be graded on their ability to create a concise persuasive presentation, accurate market overviews, and legitimate reasons for the company to enter the sell side market. There are three main parts to the body of the quasi sales pitch: the situation and position overview, the valuation summary, and the potential buyers. Using graphs to make the company attractive and showing how it would be pitched to potential buyers, is the situation and position overview of the presentation. While the valuation summary consists of the meat of the presentation where you show how this sale or purchase would benefit your bank and the company you are working with; this is where the majority of the numbers and calculations are shown. Finally, the potential buyers part of the presentation is where you find all prospective buyers and list why or why not they would be it. The pitch book is the staple of the finance industry, as confirmed by Donnie, and this assignment sets students up to practice all the fundamental skills needed within the banking industry. Creating a model pitchbook would be no easy task for a first time student. Contrary to the short time tables given to actual bankers, students should start their project as soon as it is assigned. Since most students have not written pitch books, by starting right away there's plenty...

...The Banker And The Campus Uproar Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Discussion Questions * Why would a bank consider making a mortgage loan or home equity loan to a homeowner who could not make the scheduled loan payments--wouldn’t this end up hurting the bank? Answer: Before advancing loans to the potential customers the banks consider certain things with the help of documents and tools. The financial position to the best of knowledge is assessed. But there is always a risk of default at the debtor’s end. Therefore, the bank bears the risk. For the minimization of this risk, the banks secure themselves with the help of securities and collaterals. In term of house loans, the house which is for which loan is advanced is taken as the collateral. A charge of bank is created over that asset by the bank. In case of default in payments by the debtor, the bank acquires that house and recovers the money of loan and interest by selling the house in auction. Any residual value after paying the bank liabilities is returned to the debtor. Therefore, throughout the loan tenure, bank is secure and reduces its risk with the help of collaterals. * After considering Cristina’s likely motives, incentives and behavior, do you believe she had conflicts of interest that were so serious she would knowingly recommend loans that were harmful to her clients’ interests? Explain your answer. Answer: The motives of Cristina were own wealth maximization. She was offered benefits on selling...

...Investment Banker Turned Farmer Victoria Rego Saint Leo University Leaving a prominent job as an investment banker in New York City and moving to the farmlands of Illinois is compelling. The information provided by the Wall Street Journal and found online is very convincing. The demand for corn to convert into ethanol will be high, along with the price of an acre of prime farmland is low, at $10,000 (Brickley, Smith & Zimmerman, 2009). The price of this farmland is also expected to increase, another fact to encourage this business venture. Reselling the land years down the road is expected to make a profit. Also, someone who is smart should be able to learn how to grow corn. Unfortunately, no matter how compelling this venture is, and the facts that may convince the success of this venture, it is not worth the risk. This investment banker’s friends are not giving him good advice. One of the biggest and most obvious risks is that this investment banker does not know how to farm. Odds are he has lived in the city his whole life, and not even stepped foot on a farm. Growing corn on uncultivated land is difficult; it would require large amounts of fertilizer, herbicides, and pesticides (Reeves, 2009). These chemicals would then end up in farmland runoff and cause harm to the environment. It is also important to rotate crops, growing and harvesting products other than corn. What will this investment banker turned farmer do with these crops? This results in even more...

Place in my dropbox by 1:00 PM Nov. 5. 1. What I would have done of my initial response When I read the article, I am not so struggle as the author. In my first thought, I was thinking of what we can do and what we can’t do. Since we have a couple of hours to think how to deal with him, compared our time and his life, I will definitely take care of him immediately. First of all, actually, it’s not a matter of instant emergency, strictly speaking, we have more than six hours to decide what we can do, so it was not the matter that you have to make decision within a minute. Secondly, to minimal the reaction time in a team in the case without a clear leader, I will call the teammates immediately to have a 20-minutes meeting, to make everybody pull out their thoughts, what’s the strength and weakness to save him, what we can do and what we cannot do. After squeezing all ideas, I would have made a summary and a poll to decide what we should do. And then just follow the majority because I still had the commitment to other team members. So this is the instant reaction that I would have taken when I read it the first time. 2.

When did this happen (month/year)? * How did this action affect interest rates and exchange rates? * How were banks and businesses affected? * What was the impact on international trade? * Do you believe U.S. monetary policy should follow Keynesianism or Monetarism? Explain your reasoning. Be sure to cite all references using APA style. The three central bankers named in the list of most powerful men are influential because they handle the monetary policy. Monetary policy is a powerful and immediate tool to affect the demand side economics of any country. Monetary policy operations have far reaching effects which are much more immediate then fiscal policy. This also renders monetary actions a bit dangerous as at least five of the eight post war recessions in US can be attributed to anti inflationary policies of FED. (Tobin, 2008, ret: www.econlib.org).
