...requisite degree of transparency. Demutualised exchanges will be forced to account to their shareholders regarding the bottom line as well as corporate governance. Secondly, there will be more investor participation. The new corporation will be more profit orientated due to shareholder accountability. Unlike a mutual structure where often only broker-dealers maybe members, a demutualised exchange affords both institutional and retail investors the opportunity to become shareholders. A demutualised exchange will have greater flexibility to accommodate the needs of institutional investors as customers, and potentially, as owners. Thirdly, it is the resources for capital investment. A competitive stock exchange must be able to respond quickly to global competitive forces and technological advances. With the capital raised from initial public offerings or private investment and a heightened awareness of accountability to stakeholders, a stock exchange should have both the incentive and the resources to invest in the competitiveness of its information systems. So to be competitive, products and services must not only be timely and cost effective, but also reliable. The second part of the structural changes needs to be at the SEC of Bangladesh. The fundamental issue here is: what is the regulator doing to help minimise risk for the investors? The absolute minimum the SEC can ensure is to have risk minimising tools. As a first step...

...Chapter 1: The Capital Market [Simplified CSC Notes] • Capital is not what you make but what you keep • Wealth is savings, capital comes from savings • Savers: Individuals, corporations, governments • You can take your savings and go into Direct Investments (like property, equipment, infrastructure) - these are called real assets • Or you can take your savings into Indirect Investments (like stocks; we buy share of a company and we give company the money, bonds; we lend money to companies and governments, GIC; we leave money with the bank and the bank pays us a level of interest) - these are called financial assets/ claims • Bonds are claims against asset • The money we give to users, they give us one of these claims (financial assets), they take the money and invest in real assets, so we buy a stock of the company that buys apartment buildings. Either way we're still investing in apartment buildings, directly we own the real thing and indirectly have a financial claim on the real thing 3 Characteristics of Capital: 1) It is mobile - it can travel anywhere in the world 2) Sensitive to the environment - if you're in an area with high taxes you can move to an area with low taxes. If you're in an area with low interest rates, low returns you can move to an area with high interest rates, high returns to get a better yield 3) Scarce - you have so much of it • The only source of capital is savers. If somebody can't save, they have no investment potential • Savers...

...Capital market is one of the most important segments of the Indian financial system. It is the market available to the companies for meeting their requirements of the long-term funds. It refers to all the facilities and the institutional arrangements for borrowing and lending funds. In other words, it is concerned with the raising of money capital for purposes of making long-term investments. The market consists of a number of individuals and institutions (including the Government) that canalise the supply and demand for long -term capital and claims on it. The demand for long term capital comes predominantly from private sector manufacturing industries, agriculture sector, trade and the Government agencies. While, the supply of funds for the capital market comes largely from individual and corporate savings, banks, insurance companies, specialised financing agencies and the surplus of Governments. The Indian capital market is broadly divided into the gilt-edged market and the industrial securities market. ▪ The gilt-edged market refers to the market for Government and semi-government securities, backed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Government securities are tradeable debt instruments issued by the Government for meeting its financial requirements. The term gilt-edged means 'of the best quality'. This is because the Government securities do not suffer from risk of default and are highly liquid (as they can be easily sold in the market at their current price). The open...

...investors to hedge particular sources of risk more efficiently. 2. Securitization requires access to a large number of potential investors. To attract these investors, the capital market needs: 1. a safe system of business laws and low probability of confiscatory taxation/regulation; 2. a well-developed investment banking industry; 3. a well-developed system of brokerage and financial transactions, and; 4. well-developed media, particularly financial reporting. These characteristics are found in (indeed make for) a well-developed financial market. 3. Securitization leads to disintermediation; that is, securitization provides a means for market participants to bypass intermediaries. For example, mortgage-backed securities channel funds to the housing market without requiring that banks or thrift institutions make loans from their own portfolios. As secur itization progresses, financial intermediaries must increase other activities such as providing short-term liquidity to consumers and small business, and financial services. 4. Financial assets make it easy for large firms to raise the capital needed to finance their investments in real assets. If Ford, for example, could not issue stocks or bonds to the general public, it would have a far more difficult time raising capital. Contraction of the supply of financial assets would make financing more difficult, thereby increasing...

...The commonwealth is the sole Shareholder in MPL. The Medibank Private Sale Act 2006 (Cth) (Sale Act) was enacted in 2—6 and facilitates the sale of MPL. On 26 March 2014, the Australian Government accounted its intention to sell MPL by IPO. The main purpose of Medibank Private’s IPO is to raise capital for the corporation. The firm will raise a large amount of equity funds when the IPO occurs. Market Creation A major reason for Medibank Private to go public is that the management hopes that their shares will rise in value after the IPO, and normally it would be easier to raise debt funds after being listed as well. Employee Retention The other aspect is that the management might hope to retain key employees by providing share options as part of their benefits. Due to the value of shares increasing, these may come with restrictions that they may not be sold for between one and three years after the IPO. Improvement of liquidity Furthermore, the liquidity would be improved for investor enter and exit after IPO. Especially for short-term investors, such as the liquidity is important to plan out their exit strategy.

...Capital Market and Money Markets A financial market that works as a conduit for demand and supply of debt and equity capital. It channels the money provided by savers and depository institutions like banks, credit unions, and insurance companies among others, to borrowers and investees through a variety of financial instruments like bonds, notes, and shares that are referred to as securities. A capital market is not a compact unit, but a highly decentralized system made up of three major parts: stock market, bond market, and money market. It also works as an exchange for trading existing claims on capital in the form of shares. Essentially, capital is wealth, usually in the form of money or property. Capital markets exist when two groups interact: those who are seeking capital and those who have capital to provide. The capital seekers are the businesses and governments (sometimes individuals) who want to finance their projects and enterprises by borrowing or selling equity stakes. The capital providers are the people and institutions who are willing to lend or buy, expecting to realize a profit. By participating in the stock and bond markets, which are the pillars of the capital markets, you commit your capital by investing in the equity or debt of issuers that you believe have a viable plan for using that capital. Because so many investors participate in the capital markets, they make it possible for enterprises to raise substantial sums enough to carry out much larger projects...

...exchanges is attributable to the difference between the US and Israeli Capital markets Law, and that law really matters. Do you agree with Ariel Yehezkel? Why does law matter? Introduction: Capital market is a market where buyers and sellers engage in trade of financial securities like bonds, stocks, etc. The buying/selling is undertaken by participants such as individuals and institutions. Capital markets help channelise surplus funds from savers to institutions which then invest them into productive use. Generally, this market trades mostly in long-term securities. The capital market efficiency is usually determined by how well the regulatory measures are defined since for there to be a proper functioning capital markets there has to be factors such as integrity and transparency as well as accountability. The law has been known to be the best institution to provide a mechanism that ensures the factors are well enhanced as well as promoted. Why the law matters The significance of protecting the proper functioning of markets has long been recognized and the law is deemed to be a proper tool to achieve this.

...Accounting and capital markets: a survey of the European evidence Dumontier, Pascal & Raffournier, Bernard Introduction The relationship between accounting information and capital markets has been studied a great deal especially in the US. However such research hasn’t been done in Europe and the purpose of Dumontier’s and Raffjournier’s article is to study the corresponding evidence in Europe. The reason why the topic has been interesting enough to conduct innumerable studies in the US during the past decades is that regarding capital markets accounting data are supposed to facilitate the prediction of firms’ future cash flows and help investors asses future securities’ risk and returns. The aim of the studies has been to help determine to what extend this objective of exploiting the accounting data was achieved. Theory and literature review Through their research, Dumontier and Raffournier were able to find different categories of how the relationship between accounting information and capital markets has been investigated in the European literature. Firstly, the primary objective of capital market research has been to assess whether accounting data provide value-relevant information to investors, incremental to all other sources of publicly available information. Through studies of the impact of accounting disclosures on stock returns or trading volumes it has been able to show clear market reactions to accounting announcements that have been detected in all European...
