...INTERIM REPORT TAX SAVING SCHEMES (ANALYSIS AND COMPARISION) ICFAI BUSINESS SCHOOL HYDERABAD MUTUAL FUNDS AT A GLANCE Mutual Fund is an instrument of investing money. Nowadays, bank rates have fallen down and are generally below the inflation rate. Therefore, keeping large amounts of money in bank is not a wise option, as in real terms the value of money decreases over a period of time. One of the options is to invest the money in stock market. But a common investor is not informed and competent enough to understand the intricacies of stock market. This is where mutual funds come to the rescue. A mutual fund is a group of investors operating through a fund manager to purchase a diverse portfolio of stocks or bonds. Mutual funds are highly cost efficient and very easy to invest in. By pooling money together in a mutual fund, investors can purchase stocks or bonds with much lower trading costs than if they tried to do it on their own. Also, one doesn't have to figure out which stocks or bonds to buy. But the biggest advantage of mutual funds is diversification. Diversification means spreading out money across many different types of investments. When one investment is down another might be up. Diversification of investment holdings reduces the risk tremendously. On the basis of their structure and objective, mutual funds can be classified into following major types: • Closed-end funds • Open-end...

Cases regarding setting financial policy: “Gainesboro Machine Tools Corp.,” (Case 26); “Rosario Acero S.A.,” (UVA-F-1211). A newly-appointed director of a small German beer brewer must prepare to vote on three issues coming before the board of directors the next day: (1) approval of the financial plan for 2001, (2) declaration of the quarterly dividend, and (3) adoption of an incentive compensation plan for the marketing manager.

Is it profitable? If not, how would you change it? If so, what arguments would you offer to the board of directors in its defense? 3. Why does this profitable firm need increasing amounts of bank debt? 4. As a member of the board of directors...

...Yemeni Currency (YER), Chevron wants to be hedged against two possible scenarios: * First scenario: The country becomes stable in the future and Chevron decides to go on with the bid and the bid is accepted, in that case Chevron would need Yemeni Rial (YER). * Second scenario: The country’s situation deteriorates and Chevron is forced to liquidate its current assets, in that case Chevron would want to exchange Yemeni Rial for USD and would want to be hedged against a possible depreciation of the currency. Chevron approaches J.P Morgan and asks for a derivative on the Yemeni Rial currency exchange rate that would hedge the company’s interests in both scenarios. J.P. Morgan suggests an exotic option on YER/USD. More specifically, the bank suggests a three-year chooser option. The chooser option is a special type of option contract that allows the purchaser to decide during a...

...price of $68 for the first time. Technology stocks have been hit by the market turmoil in China. But while US companies such as Apple have seen their share prices recover, Alibaba’s have continued to languish. Following a record-breaking listing on the New York Stock Exchange in September that raised $25bn, Alibaba’s share price rose to $119 in November but since then has dropped as low as $58.14 before closing at $65.86 on Monday. Many of Alibaba’s employees are shareholders and the share price fall has hit morale hard. But Mr Zhang delivered a stern reminder to employees on Tuesday to take a long view of the company’s prospects. 1 of 3 8/25/2015 2:25 PM Alibaba CEO tells staff to forget about share price, focus on job - FT.com http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/bd20cdd8-4b26-11e5-9b5d-89a026fda5c9... “Alibaba’s values are reflected in the pursuit of our dreams and to create value for our customers. Our values do not waver with the fluctuations in stock price,” he said. “Let us remember to keep our eyes on the true prize, which is serving our customers . . . Serving our customers is the path to success to creating value for our shareholders and ourselves,” he continued. He added that Alibaba is “fighting just this one battle; we are in it for 102 years to win the war”, referring to founder Jack Ma’s speech last year in which he said the company would...

...States, Germany, France, Brazil, and South Africa. From 1995 through 2003, Parmalat went to the bond market 35 times, accumulating over $5 billion in new liabilities. With over 36,000 employees around the world, Parmalat is one of the world's largest food businesses and is the eighth largest company in Italy. (Soltani, & Soltani, 2008) In mid-November 2003 Parmalat defaulted on a $187 million bond payment. That pressed auditors and banks to inspect company accounts. Grant Thorton SPA served as auditors for Parmalat from 1990 to 1999. The scandal may have stayed undetected if not for Italian law which required that companies must to change audit firms every nine years. In 1999 Deloitte & Touche replaced a Grant Thornton company and was the first company who started scrutinizes the nonexistent accounts. Parmalat continued to retain the Grant Thornton as auditor firm for the Cayman Islands subsidiary called Bonlat and that aroused questions about role of Grant Thornton in the fraud. That subsidiary was supposedly held the $4.9 billion in Bank of America account in the Cayman Islands. “Auditors first inquired about the Cayman Islands account in December, 2002, and received a letter on Bank of America stationery in March, 2003, confirming the existence of the account. The letter was later found to be a well done forgery by someone in Parmalat’s Collecchio headquarters. Also under question was the 2003 buy back of $3.6 billion in...
