...1.0 Introduction Bond valuation is the determination of the fair price of a bond. As with any security or capital investment, the theoretical fair value of a bond is the present value of the stream of cash flows it is expected to generate. This essay is about different types of bonds and the instruction of the riskiness of bonds. Firstly, this essay will make a general overview of the types of bonds. Subsequently it will discuss the types of risks to which both bond investors and issuers are exposed. Finally it will make an analysis of the bond markets. 2.0 Basic information of bonds Bond is a form of long-term debt instrument. For example, a contractual liability, basically just a certificate showing that a borrower promises to repay interest and principal, on specific dates, to the holders of the bond. Bonds are one of the most important types of securities. There is a wide variety of these securities. It may seem confusing, but in actuality just a few characteristics distinguish the various types of bonds. 3.0 Various Types of Bonds Bonds are issued by both governments and corporations. Bonds are issued by public authorities, credit institutions, companies and supranational institutions in the primary markets. The most common process for issuing bonds is through underwriting. When a bond issue is underwritten, one or more securities firms or banks, forming a syndicate, buy the entire issue of bonds from the issuer and re-sell them to investors. The security firm...

...Bond Valuation: * How do we use NPV to value bonds? One simply computes the present value of the cash flows at the appropriate rate of return. This corresponds approximately to the full price of the bond (as opposed to the listed price). * E.g.: a one period, $1000 bond, 10% coupon is valued at: $1037 (1100/1.06) if the market rate of return is 6%. The bond sells at a premium. * $1000 if the market rate of return is 10%. The bond sells at par. * $982 if the market rate of return is 12%. The bond sells at a discount. Tentative Conclusions * The higher the appropriate interest rate, the lower the price of the bond. * If the yield matches the coupon , then the bond sells at par. * If the yield is higher than the coupon, the bond sells at a discount. * If the yield is lower than the coupon, the bond sells at a premium Example: * Consider now an infinite bond, paying a 10% coupon, i.e. $100 forever. * Then if the market return is 10% the bond sells at 100/0.1 =1000. * If the market return is 6% the bond sells at 100/0.06 = 1667 * If the market return is 12% the bond sells at 100/0.12 = 833 * A tentative conclusion: it seems that longer maturity bonds are affected more by interest rate swings. * We will modify this conclusion later. Valuing a Bond * If today is October 1, 2010, what is the value of the following bond? An IBM Bond pays $115 every September 30 for 5 years. In September 2015 it pays...

...ICB Mutual Funds ICB Mutual Funds are also known as close ended Mutual Funds. The issued capital of a Mutual Fund is limited, that is, a Mutual Fund offers a limited number of certificates for sale to the public. The amount of capital and the number of certificates of each Mutual Fund remains unchanged. ICB Mutual Funds are independent of one another. A Mutual Fund being listed is traded on the Stock Exchanges. Price of Mutual Fund certificates after IPO is determined on the Stock Exchanges through interaction of supply and demand. The market price of a Mutual Fund certificates is available in Stock exchange quotations and in newspapers. Performances of ICB Mutual Fund The Considerations underlying the performance evaluation of mutual funds is a matter of concern to the fund managers, investors and researchers alike. The present paper attempts to answer two questions relating to mutual fund performance; 1. Whether the growth oriented Mutual Fund are earning higher returns than the benchmark returns (or market Portfolio/Index returns) in terms of risk. 2. Whether the growth oriented mutual funds are offering the advantages of Diversification, Market timing and Selectivity of Securities to their investors. This paper attempts to answer the questions raised, by initially describing some basic concepts and later by employing a methodology which was used by Sharpe (1966), Treynor (1965), and Jenson (1968) and finally given appropriate comments. ...

Assets can be real or financial; securities are called financial assets, physical assets are real assets. The ultimate goal of any individual investor is maximization of profits. Investment management is a continuous process requiring constant monitoring. The value of an asset depends on the cash flow it is expected to provide over the holding period. The fact that as on date there is no method by which prices of shares and bonds can be accurately predicted should be kept in mind by an investor before he decides to take an investment decision.

...ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to attempt to understand to what degree accounting information can serve as a valid predictor of future financial performance. It is understood and often disputed that predicting financial performance beyond a time horizon of four years, using accounting analysis is not as reliable as initially determined. Based on both academic research studies and reviews alongside nonacademic reviews, it seems plausible to a certain comfortable level that it is possible to incorporate targeted and focused accounting information and ratios in conjunction with additional industry/market based variables within statistical models to be successful in predicting future performance beyond the short run. Financial ratios, together with other analyses, are widely used as critical indicators in evaluating a firm’s performance. One question constantly arises, which financial ratios are informative among the hundred ratios available? Material below will identify and support particular ratios of focus. Research also suggests that in order to accurately forecast future financial performance, accounting information needs to work alongside other variables (i.e. firm size, economic trends, and industry specific ratios). Beyond the microeconomics of the company, analysis should also consider relevant macroeconomics that can have a direct correlation on a firm’s success. Based on all findings included, there has been no distinct criticism of using accounting information...

...which time value of money can help corporate managers in general. The time valuation of money is the idea that money available now could be worth more than the same amount in the future, because that current money has the possibility of earning money in the future. Think if the expression, “It takes money to make money!” If you are guaranteed to have $100.00 now or $100.00 in 3 years, you would probably take the money now. However, the $100.00 you could have now can be utilized to make even more money in the future through investing. This concept is very important in the business world as corporations are always looking to increase investing opportunities that will prove profitable. Time valuation enables corporate managers to determine two major aspects of investments; How much to invest and the rate of return on that investment. A company needs to know how much they need for an initial investment and how much that investment will yield over a given period of time. This is also where compounded interest plays a major role, the more the interest is compounded the greater the yield. Examine the pros and cons of a sinking fund from the viewpoint of both a firm and its bondholders. Determine the fundamental manner in which this knowledge could be helpful to a financial manager. Provide a rationale for your response. Sinking funds are a method of repaying funds that were borrowed via a bond. A bond in simple terms is an IOU to individual persons or corporations that provided...

...Valuation is the estimation of an asset’s value, whether real or financial, based on variables perceived to be related to future investment returns, on comparison with similar assets, or, when relevant, on estimates of immediate liquidation proceeds (Pinto, Henry, Robinson, Stowe; 2010). Correct valuation of real assets can present challenges to financial analysts. Different models can be used to arrive at the closest estimate of value and yet certain issues will always arise. This case attempts to tackle two approaches in real asset valuation: Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis and the issues surrounding such, as well as the Black-Scholes Model for Real Options. Questions to be addressed in the study are: 1. Evaluate Amoco’s and Apache’s corporate objectives and strategies. Is it reasonable to expect that the MW properties are more valuable to Apache than to Amoco? What sources of value most plausibly account for the difference between buyer and seller? 2. Structure and execute a DCF valuation of all the MW reserves. How much are the reserves worth? Is your estimate more likely to be biased high or low? What are the sources of bias? 3. How would you structure an analysis of MW as a portfolio of assets in place and options? Specifically, which parts of the business should be regarded as assets in place and which as options? What kinds of options are present? Should this approach yield a higher or lower value that the DCF approach? 4. Execute the analysis you structured in...

...ultimately reduced their business risk. In analyzing the financial risk, the continuous acquisitions have definitely increased the operational risk for the company. Since the case didn’t provide us with the financial statements for Monmouth, we can assume that in order to complete the acquisition they have to issue stocks as they exhausted (or will pretty soon exhaust) their debt capacity. 2. Based on the DCF valuation and using a WACC of 8.25% (the beta assumed to be 1, the average beta of comparable firms and the coupon rate to be 7.96%, the rate for BB rated companies) and a growth rate of 5.5%. The fair price is $40.4 per share for Robertson, lower than the $50 offered by Simmons to sell their stocks but higher than the current market price of $30. As for the peer multiples, and due to the lack of information for the comparable companies we only managed to calculate the EBIAT multiple, the earnings multiple and the book value multiple using the three comparable companies, Actuant Corp, Snap On Inc., and Stanley Works. The result of the multiple valuation showed a fair price of $40.1 per share based on the EBIAT multiple and a value of $29.61 per share based on the earnings multiple. Both prices are below the fair price calculated by the DCF. Only the book value multiple exceeded the DCF fair value with a value of $65.25. The first two multiples failed to capture the future potential and growth of the corporation, where the DCF managed to include it as a factor in the...
