INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW THE VIETNAM FIXED INCOME MARKET 3 II. TIMELINE 4 III. VIETNAM’S PRIMARY MARKET AND SECONDARY MARKET 5 IV. STATE OF FIXED INCOME MARKET IN VIETNAM 6 I. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW THE VIETNAM FIXED INCOME MARKET The bond market (also known as the credit, or fixed income market) is a financial market where participants can issue new debt, known as the primary market, or buy and sell debt securities, known as the Secondary market, usually in the form of bonds. The primary goal of the bond market is to provide a mechanism for long term funding of public and private expenditures. The "bond market" usually refers to the government bond market, because of its size, liquidity, relative lack of credit risk and, therefore, sensitivity to interest rates. Because of the inverse relationship between bond valuation and interest rates, the bond market is often used to indicate changes in interest rates or the shape of the yield curve. The yield curve is the measure of "cost of funding". The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) classify the broader bond market into five specific bond markets. * Corporate * Government & agency. * Municipal * Mortgage...

...According to investopedia security is “a financial instrument that represents: an ownership position in a publicly-traded corporation (stock), a creditor relationship with governmental body or a corporation (bond), or rights to ownership as represented by an option. A security is a fungible, negotiable financial instrument that represents some type of financial value. The company or entity that issues the security is known as the issuer” (Definition of ‘Security’). Typically securities are divided into equities that represent ownership interest that the shareholders in an organization hold and debt securities representing borrowed funds that must be paid back. In this essay I will be discussing the significance of understanding the differences between fixed income securities and common stock securities. In the United States, the sales of securities are regulated by organizations like the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities and Exchange Commission or for short the SEC. Publicly traded companies have two classes of securities they issue, which are common stock securities and preferred stock securities. A security is what is considered a paper asset with the potential to be traded in small denominations (mostly) in the secondary market. Securities that pay a fixed amount of income are considered to be fixed-income securities i.e. bonds or preferred stocks. Bonds are debt securities that are dispensed by the government and corporations having a face value...

...January 2014 CRISIL Economy First Cut IIP: Industrial production slips again Overview: Index of industrial production (IIP) fell by 2.1 per cent in November on a year-on-year basis, even sharper than October’s decline of 1.6 per cent. Despite a pick-up in core infrastructure industries such as mining and electricity, industrial production fell in November as the manufacturing sector contracted by 3.5 per cent compared to a year ago. Industrial growth is likely to remain weak for the rest of 2013-14 due to infrastructure and input constraints, and weak domestic demand. Robust export growth with rising global demand may however, provide some cushion to manufacturing production. Even though the mining ban has been lifted in Karnataka, revival in mining output will be slow as it will take time for firms to obtain relevant clearances and ramp up production. The Cabinet Committee on Investments has also been fast-tracking stalled projects; however, as most of these are infrastructure projects and have long gestation periods, the impact of these measures will not be felt until 2014-15. Core sectors such as mining and electricity rebounded in November from last month’s lows as higher coal production lifted mining output and raised power production. Electricity output grew by 6.3 per cent while mining expanded by 1.0 per cent in November. Mining sector has now contracted for three consecutive years (-2.2 per cent for April-November 2013) while manufacturing growth has completely collapsed...

...California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission Duration Basics Introduction Duration is a term used by fixed-income investors, financial advisors, and investment advisors. It is an important measure for investors to consider, as bonds with higher durations (given equal credit, inflation and reinvestment risk) may have greater price volatility than bonds with lower durations. It is an important tool in structuring and managing a fixed-income portfolio based on selected investment objectives. Investment theory tells us that the value of a fixed-income investment is the sum of all of its cash flows discounted at an interest rate that reflects the inherent investment risk. In addition, due to the time value of money, it assumes that cash flows returned earlier are worth more than cash flows returned later. In its most basic form, duration measures the weighted average of the present value of the cash flows of a fixed-income investment. All of the components of a bond—price, coupon, maturity, and interest rates—are used in the calculation of its duration. Although a bond’s price is dependent on many variables apart from duration, duration can be used to determine how the bond’s price may react to changes in interest rates. This issue brief will provide the following information: < A basic overview of bond math and the components of a bond that will affect its volatility. < The different types of duration and how they are calculated. < Why duration is an important...

...Chapter 09 - Interest Rate Risk II Chapter Nine Interest Rate Risk II Chapter Outline Solutions for End-of-Chapter Questions and Problems 1. What is the difference between book value accounting and market value accounting? How do interest rate changes affect the value of bank assets and liabilities under the two methods? What is marking to market? Book value accounting reports assets and liabilities at the original issue values. Market value accounting reports assets and liabilities at their current market values. Current market values may be different from book values because they reflect current market conditions, such as current interest rates. FIs generally report their balance sheets using book value accounting methods. This is a problem if an asset or liability has to be liquidated immediately. If the asset or liability is held until maturity, then the reporting of book values does not pose a problem. For an FI, a major factor affecting asset and liability values is interest rate changes. If interest rates increase, the value of both loans (assets) and deposits and debt (liabilities) fall. If assets and liabilities are held until maturity, it does not affect the book valuation of the FI. However, if deposits or loans have to be refinanced, then market value accounting presents a better picture of the condition of the FI. The process by which changes in the economic value of assets and liabilities are accounted is called marking to market. The changes can be beneficial...

...Chapter 4 – Bond Price Volatility Extra Questions 1. Be sure you understand all the relationships shown in Exhibit 4-11 2. The price of a bond can be written as either as the sum of series of discounted CFs (Equation 4.1, page 63) or as the sum of the PV of an annuity and the discounted maturity value (Equation 4.9, page 67). Note that the PV of an annuity formula used in Equation 4.9 is derived from the difference between a perpetuity starting at time zero and a perpetuity starting at time n. The difference is an annuity starting at time 0 and ending at time n. Equation 4.3 is the first derivative of price w.r.t. yield (∂P/∂y) using equation 4.1. The numerator of equation 4.10 is first derivative of the price w.r.t. yield using equation 4.9. Consider either equation 4.3 or the numerator of 4.9. Determine only the sign of following second derivative and mixed partial derivatives: * ∂2P/∂y2 * ∂2P/∂y∂C * ∂2P/∂y∂n (a) Does duration increase or decrease as the initial yield increases?(decrease) (b) Does duration increase or decrease as the coupon increases?(decrease) (c) Does duration increase or decrease as the maturity increases?(increase) 3.

...Bond Valuation By Anuj Joshi Note 1 Bond Valuation Fixed income paying securities. 1. Theoretical price or value of bond depends upon. i. Coupon Payment : Fixed amount of interest to be received after prescribed frequency. ii. Maturity Value [Unless otherwise given is exam, we should take face value] iii. Discount Rate : It should always be market interest rate 2. What is market interest rate Market interest rate is derived from comparable listed bond. The comparison is based on risk and life of the bond. E.g. If we are valuing a bond which is unlisted and have 5 years of life, then we should look for a bond which is similar in risk profile (i.e. same credit rating)and having similar life. The YTM (Yield to Maturity) of listed bond is called market interest rate The YTM of a bond is nothing but IRR of the bond. 3. Value of a bond = PV of Coupon Amount + PV of Maturity Value [Remember CF and discount rate are before tax] Concept Point: i. Coupon rate is a historical rate and should never be used as a discount rate. In exam, if no other information is available, then only we should assume coupon rate of interest as market rate of interest. ii. Remember, Cost of Capital or Discount Rate is a future concept and it represents opportunity cost on the date of valuation. iii. YTM of a similar bond (i.e. current market interest rate) is the appropriate discount rate for bond valuation. How to value a bond which pays interest at a frequency lower than annually (e...

...2. Identify the risk management issues illustrated by the case. Risk Management Failures For a time during fall 1998, hedge funds seemed to be on the front page of every newspaper in the world. Investors in some hedge funds had taken huge losses following the collapse of the Russian economy in August, and the Federal Reserve felt it necessary to organize a rescue of a hedge fund called Long-Term Capital Management. The following policy and regulatory issues are raised by the LTCM debacle. First, even when the LTCM know the examples about the possibility of losses in less liquid positions, the LTCM’s risk managers ignored the severity of the jump in credit spreads and the liquidity crisis instead of using flight-to-quality model to fix it. The worse is it still utilizing the same covariance matrix to measure risk and to optimize positions inevitably results in biases in the measurement of risk. Second, the LTCM did not have suitable strategy to deal with the situation that there are other players held similar relative-value bets and that interrelations between them tend to vanish due to the market stress. It did nothing except using the same strategy to take positions that appear to generate “arbitrage” profits based on recent history but also represent bets on extreme events, like selling options. Third, according to the fund’s Value at risk (VAR) and the amount of capital necessary to support its risk portfolio, the LTCM’s strategies are analyzed, and illustrates that LTCM...

...| Social Security | Should we really fight to save it, or move on? | | A very great deal of people believe that Social Security will be around for everybody and forever, but in reality the program is experiencing a shortage that could end the program within the next 10 years. Based upon the current statistics from the Congressional Budget Office, Social Security will pay out more than it receives for the year 2010. Another problem is that within the same report from the Congressional Budget Office, by the year 2018 the trust fund used to pay Social Security benefits will be exhausted. I think that if we take better control of where the money is spent as well as offer more options besides Social Security, we will eventually save money instead of losing it. According to a Congressional Budget Office report on the trends and implications, the current practices by the Social Security Administration make the program unable to remain financially sustainable. According to the Congressional Budget Office, “Since 1970, the number of individuals receiving funds from the SSI has more than tripled from 2.7 million to a current 9.7 million.” From their same report, due to budget shortfalls as well as a rapid increase in payouts the Congressional Budget Office is predicting that the program could run out of money and fail. My biggest concern with our government is that nobody seems to be too concerned about this program. I worry more about the current receivers of benefits...

...although most of the SSI recipients do not have illnesses quite as serious as cancer. Further research into the matter shows that 6% of Americans over the age of twelve admit to using illegal drugs (“America’s Drug Abuse Profile”). Another 2% of Americans admit to using legal drugs (such as prescribes medications) illegally (“America’s Drug Abuse Profile”). The proposition is to administer drug screening to the 6.4 million people receiving SSI by claiming to be disabled because this is the group most likely to be receiving the benefits illegally. The numbers in this matter speak louder than any words one could write. 6.4 million people receive SSI benefits by claiming disabilities (“Supplemental Security Income”). The average benefit amount is $516 a month (“Supplemental Security Income”). Just this small group of people receive $3.3 billion a month. The cost of drug screening these people by blood is $45 per test (“Common Profiles”). This means it would cost $288 million to administer the tests. There are 5,795 registered hospitals in the United States (“Fast Facts on U.S. Hospitals”). Unregistered hospitals not in this group include: surgery centers, specialists’ clinics, etc. (“Fast Facts on U.S. Hospitals”) Therefore, 1,104 people would go to every registered hospital to receive the drug screening. If the hospitals do not have enough staff to administer these screening in one day, the screenings could be split up into two days. The $288 million to administer the tests is 8...
