Surplus-generating units are called savers while deficit-generators are called spenders. In our country, at spectral level, households are surplus-generating while corporate and government are deficit generating. This is, however, true only at an aggregate level. You would definitely come across individual households who are deficit generating and corporate bodies who are surplus generating at some point of time. The question that arises here is: What do the surplus-generating units do with their surpluses or savings? You can now imagine that they have only two alternatives before them. They can either invest or hold their savings in the form of liquid cash. Holding liquid cash is required to meet transactionary, or precautionary or speculative needs. The surplus-generating units could invest in different forms. They could invest in physical assets viz. land and buildings, plant and machinery or in precious metals viz. gold and silver, or in financial assets viz. shares and debentures, units of the Unit Trade India, treasury bills, commercial paper etc. A capital market is a market for securities (both debt and equity), where business enterprises (companies) and governments can raise long-term funds. It is defined as a market in which money is lent for periods longer than a year, as the raising of short-term funds takes place on other markets (e.g., the money market). 1.1 Capital Market The market where investment funds like bonds, equities and mortgages are traded is known as the capital market. The primal role of the capital market is to channelize investments from investors who have surplus funds to the ones who are running a deficit. The capital market offers both long-term and overnight funds. The capital market is the market for securities, where companies and governments can raise long-term funds. It is a market in which money is lent for periods longer than a year. There are a number of capital market instruments used for market trade, including equity instruments, credit market instruments, insurance instruments, foreign exchange instruments, hybrid instruments and derivative instruments. These are used by the investors to make a profit out of their respective markets. All of these are called capital market instruments because these are responsible for generating funds for companies, corporations, and sometimes national governments. This market is also known as securities market because long-term funds are raised through trade on debt and equity securities. 2 LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY Unit 1: Introduction to Capital Market These activities may be conducted by both companies and governments. Notes Capital Market consists of primary market and secondary market. In primary market newly issued bonds and stocks are exchanged and in secondary market buying and selling of already existing bonds and stocks take place. ! Caution Many people divide the Capital Market into Bond Market and Stock Market. Bond Market provides financing by bond issuance and bond trading. Stock Market provides financing by shares or stock issuance and by share trading. As a whole, Capital Market facilitates raising of capital through the trading of long-term financial assets. 1.2 New Issue Market The New Issue Market or NIM is also called the primary capital market. The securities which are introduced in the market are sold for first time to the general public in this market. This market is also known as the long-term debt market as the fund raised from this market provides long-term capital. Corporate entities may raise capital in the primary market by way of an initial public offer, rights issue or private placement. An Initial Public Offer (IPO) is the selling of securities to the public in the primary market. This Initial Public Offering can be made through the fixed price method, book-building method or a combination of both. In case the issuer chooses to issue securities through the book-building route, then as per SEBI guidelines, an issuer company can issue securities in the following manner: 1. 100% of the net offer to the public through the book-building route. 2. 75% of the net offer to the public through the book-building process and 25% through the fixed price portion. The industrial securities markets in India consist of new issue market and stock exchange. The new issue market deals with the new securities, which were not previously available to the investing public, i.e. the securities that are offered to the investing public for the first time. The market, therefore, makes available a new block of securities for public subscription. The other words, new issue market deals with the raising of fresh capital by companies either for cash or for consideration other than cash. The new issue market encompasses all institution dealing in fresh claim. The forms in which these claims are created are equity shares, preference shares, debentures, rights issues, deposits etc. All financial institutions, which contribute, underwrite and directly subscribe to the securities, are part of new issue markets. 1.2.1 Functions of New Issue Market The main function of new issue market is to facilitate transfer resources from savers to the users. The savers are individuals, commercial banks, insurance company etc. the users are public limited companies and the government. The new issue market plays an important role in mobilizing the funds from the savers and transferring them to borrowers for production purposes, an important requisite of economic growth. It is not only a platform for raising finance to LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY 3 Security Analysis and Portfolio Management Notes establish new enterprises, but also for expansion/diversification/modernizations of existing units. On this basis, the new market can be classified as: 1. A market where firms go to the public for the first time through Initial Public Offering (IPO).

    Notes from Security Analysis Sixth Edition Hardcover

    Ronald R. Redfield CPA, PFS Notes to book “Security Analysis” 6th edition Written by: Benjamin Graham and David Dodd I thought these quotes from Security Analysis Sixth Edition Hardcover might be food for thought. Benjamin Graham and David Dodd first wrote security Analysis in 1934. The first edition was described by Graham as a “book that is intended for all those who have a serious interest in securities values.” The book was not designed for the investment novice. One must have an intermediate to advanced understanding of financial statements, accounting and finance for the book to be understood. The book emphasizes logical reasoning. Graham wrote, “It is the conservative investor who will need most of all to be reminded constantly of the lessons of 1931 –1933 and of previous collapses.” On Page [xiv] Seth Klarman wrote: ”Losing money, as Graham noted, can also be psychologically unsettling. Anxiety from the financial damage caused by recently experienced loss or the fear of further loss can significantly impede our ability to take advantage of the next opportunity that comes along. If an undervalued stock falls by half while the fundamentals – after checking and rechecking – are confirmed to be unchanged, we should relish the opportunity to buy significantly more “on sale.” But if our net worth has tumbled along with the share price, it may be psychologically difficult to add to the position.” On Page [xviii] Klarman wrote: ”Skepticism and judgment are always required.” “Because the value of a business depends on numerous variables,

    Security Analysis by Benjamin Graham and David L. Dodd

    PRAISE FOR THE SIXTH EDITION OF SECURITY ANALYSIS “The sixth edition of the iconic Security Analysis disproves the adage ‘’tis best to leave well enough alone.’ An extraordinary team of commentators, led by Seth Klarman and James Grant, bridge the gap between the sim- pler financial world of the 1930s and the more complex investment arena of the new millennium. Readers benefit from the experience and wisdom of some of the financial world’s finest practitioners and best informed market observers. The new edition of Security Analysis belongs in the library of every serious student of finance.” David F. Swensen Chief Investment Officer Yale University author of Pioneering Portfolio Management and Unconventional Success “The best of the past made current by the best of the present. Tiger Woods updates Ben Hogan. It has to be good for your game.” Jack Meyer Managing Partner and CEO Convexity Capital “Security Analysis, a 1940 classic updated by some of the greatest financial minds of our generation, is more essential than ever as a learning tool and reference book for disciplined investors today.” Jamie Dimon Chairman and CEO JPMorgan Chase “While Coca-Cola found it couldn’t improve on a time-tested classic, Seth Klarman, Jim Grant, Bruce Greenwald, et al., prove that a great book can be made even better. Seth Klarman’s preface should be required reading for all investors, and collectively, the contributing editors’ updates make for a classic in their own right. The enduring lesson is that an understand- ing of human behavior is a critical part of the process of security analysis.” Brian C.
