...9-201-129 REV: OCTOBER 23, 2001 Harvard Management Company (2001) In February 2001, Jack Meyer gazed out of his fifteenth floor office window at a cold Boston Harbor and reflected on the set of issues facing Harvard Management Company (HMC). The HMC Board would soon be reviewing the Policy Portfolio – the long-term asset mix that was designed to balance Harvard’s aversion to risk against its needs for long-term endowment returns. The Policy Portfolio was the cornerstone of endowment management at Harvard, the “neutral” portfolio mix that anchored the central tendency of actual asset allocations over time, as well as the benchmark against which actual performance was measured and incentive compensation was calculated. The Board was also interested in a variety of related issues, including the complexity of the investment strategies employed, the effectiveness of their risk controls, and the design and administration of their compensation systems. The Role of the Endowment Harvard University had been founded in 1636, and from the beginning its endowment played an important role in the financial structure of the institution. As of June 2000, the endowment managed by HMC totaled approximately $18.2 billion. Each of the various schools within the University owned “units” in the endowment, much like an individual would own shares in a mutual fund. Spending from the endowment was distributed pro-rata to all schools on the basis of the units each school owned. The annual spending from...

...Most ethnic Chinese share a common Confucian legacy with the Japanese and Koreans, but the way the Asian Chinese run their organizations, differs from them. The unique way that the Chinese business system operates is known as ‘overseas Chinese management’ (Petzall, Abbott & Timo 2007). Although both the Japanese and Koreans and the Asian Chinese are collectivist, community is more important to the former, while family ties and ‘guanxi’ are more significant to the latter (Petzall, Abbott & Timo 2007). ‘Guanxi’ is a special relationship between two individuals due to the existence of particularistic ties who are obliged to maintain a long-term relationship with mutual commitment and loyalty (Chen & Chen 2004). Overseas Chinese management is practiced by ethnic Chinese nationals in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and other Asian countries who run their own businesses. According to Petzall, Abbott and Timo (2007), these traditional Chinese family firms are usually small-scaled businesses that employ no more than 200 people. Being small-scaled, there is little need for labour specialization and a high degree of structure and formality within the organization. Thus, there are few rules and standard procedures and low files and records in such small family businesses. Although there is no clear hierarchy of authority, the assumed important positions like owners, executives and managerial roles are held by family members and by others who have that special ‘guanxi’. Decision-making...

...Valuing Coca-Cola Using The Free Cash Flow To Equity Valuation Model John C. Gardner, University of New Orleans, USA Carl B. McGowan, Jr., Norfolk State University, USA Susan E. Moeller, Eastern Michigan University, USA ABSTRACT In this paper, we provide a detailed example of applying the free cash flow to equity valuation model proposed in Damodaran (2006). Damodaran (2006) argues that the value of a stock is the discounted present value of the future free cash flow to equity discounted at the cost of equity. We combine the free cash flow to equity model with the super-normal growth model to determine the current value of Coca-Cola. At the time of this paper, we determined a value of Coca-Cola at $161 billion using the free cash flow to equity model, and the actual market value of Coca-Cola was $150 billion. Keywords: Coca-Cola; Free Cash Flow to Equity; Equity Valuation; Super-normal Growth Model CORPORATE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND STOCK VALUATION C orporate financial management encompasses the efficient acquisition and allocation of funds. The objective of corporate financial management is to maximize the value of the firm. Solomon (1963, page 22, Chapter II) argues that wealth maximization should be the goal of corporate financial management because this criterion maximizes the wealth of the owners of corporations and maximizes the wealth of a society by maximizing economic output. The value of the firm is measured by the market capitalization of the firm. The...

...assets are usually more liquid than other tangible assets, such as commodities or real estate, and may be traded on financial markets. In contrast, a tangible asset is an asset that has a physical form. Tangible assets include both fixed assets, such as machinery, buildings and land, and current assets, such as inventory. 3. Describe the two principle roles of financial assets. The principal economic function of financial assets are: (1) to transfer funds from persons who have surplus funds to those who need funds to invest in tangible assets( e.g. mortgage funds lending to homebuyers); (2) transfer funds in such a way as to redistribute the unavoidable risk associated with the cash flow generated by tangible assets among those seeking and those providing the funds (seekers of funds ask others to share the risks in their undertakings). 4. a. Explain the three factors that have led to the globalization of financial markets. Globalization has led to an expansion and integration of global financial markets. Prior to the 1980’s, the US financial market was the largest in the world but with the advent of new technologies and globalization, many markets have emerged and indeed the majority of them have been integrated to form a global financial hub. The growth of global financial markets can be attributed to lower transaction costs; in particular, an availability of new technologies for real time transactions and an ease with which the funds can be transferred across borders...
