After this trauma, some legal settlements were made between governmental organizations and banks or credit rating agencies. Credit rating agencies remain influential and even grow more powerful although collapses or reshuffles happened to several gigantic investment banks. The puzzles of the dominance of credit rating agencies, particularly in the bond market, triggered this research. While most researches focus on the impacts of credit rating agencies from a business or a marketing viewpoint, this thesis targets at the legitimacy of credit rating agencies from a historical and sociological perspective. Besides, while researchers who discussed the historical background of credit rating agencies tend to treat the establishment of The Mercantile Agency in 1841 as the inception, this thesis, by contrast, claimed that the origin of credit rating agencies needs to be traced back to a much earlier era—at least three centuries before that—since some banking families had started to deal with credit in essence. The main research methods consist of case study, critical discourse analysis and interviews. In this thesis, four cases of banking families—the Medici, the Fugger, the Baring, and the Rothschild—were studied in terms of the way they handled credit and then were compared with what is carried out nowadays by credit rating agencies, mainly the Big Three—Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. Theoretically speaking, Max Weber’s arguments about legitimation of domination—both traditional legitimation and legal/rational legitimation—were adopted to explore the legitimacy of credit rating agencies via critical discourse analyses. In addition, via interviews with bond traders, VIII the connection between academic discussions in this thesis and practical experiences in the trading context is thus enhanced. This research found that, first, after the comprehensive review of the four banking families in terms of credit and information, what they conducted actually was similar to what credit rating agencies function in the modern era. Yet, no term such as credit rating was used back to several centuries ago, partially owing to the linguistic unavailability. Thus, the origin of credit rating agencies is argued in this thesis to be as early as the fifteen century instead of the nineteen century

  • 3. VALUATION of BONDS and STOCK Investors Corporation
    3. VALUATION OF BONDS AND STOCK Objectives: After reading this chapter, you should be able to: 1. Understand the role of stocks and bonds in the financial markets. 2. Calculate value of a bond and a share of stock using proper formulas. 3.1 Acquisition of Capital Corporations, big and small, need capital to do their business. The investors provide the capital to a corporation. A company may need a new factory to manufacture its products, or an airline a few more planes to expand into new territory. The firm acquires the money needed to build the factory or to buy the new planes from investors. The investors, of course, want a return on their investment. Therefore, we may visualize the relationship between the corporation and the investors as follows: Capital Investors Corporation Return on investment Fig. 3.1: The relationship between the investors and a corporation. Capital comes in two forms: debt capital and equity capital. To raise debt capital the companies sell bonds to the public, and to raise equity capital the corporation sells the stock of the company. Both stock and bonds are financial instruments and they have a certain intrinsic value. Instead of selling directly to the public, a corporation usually sells its stock and bonds through an intermediary. An investment bank acts as an agent between the corporation and the public. Also known as underwriters, they raise the capital for a firm and charge a fee for their services. The underwriters may sell $100 million worth of bonds to the public, but deliver only $95 million to the issuing corporation.

  • ASSIGNMENT on Introduction to Finance Topic: Bond Valuation
    ASSIGNMENT ON Introduction to Finance Topic: Bond Valuation Course code: FIN 501 Prepared To M M Mustafiz Munir Prepared By Name: Md .Shohel Shikdar ID: 11-2-14-0075 Section: C MBA Program, summer 2011 ASA UNIVERSITY BANGLADESH Abstract: Bond valuation is the determination of the fair price of a bond. As with any security or capital investment, the theoretical fair value of a bond is the present value of the stream of cash flows it is expected to generate. Hence, the value of a bond is obtained by discounting the bond's expected cash flows to the present using an appropriate discount rate. In practice, this discount rate is often determined by reference to similar instruments, provided that such instruments exist. Types of Bond by issuer: Non zero coupon bond: A zero-coupon bond (also called a discount bond or deep discount bond) is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value, with the face value repaid at the time of maturity.[1] It does not make periodic interest payments, or have so-called "coupons," hence the term zero-coupon bond. When the bond reaches maturity, its investor receives its par (or face) value. Zero Coupon bond :A zero-coupon bond (also called a discount bond or deep discount bond) is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value, with the face value repaid at the time of maturity.[1] It does not make periodic interest payments, or have so-called "coupons," hence the term zero-coupon bond. When the bond reaches maturity, its investor receives its par (or face) value Perpetual bond: Perpetual bond, which is also known as a Perpetual or just a Prep, is a bond with no maturity date.[1] Therefore, it may be treated as equity, not as debt.
