“Bonds and Stocks”
What are bonds? • When a potential depositor wants to save or invest, he or she gives the investable funds to a party of interest which could be either a financial institution or a retail or corporate borrower. The common investments are in the form of a deposit to a bank or a paluwagan contribution to a cooperative or credit union. The concept of bond is almost the same. When you purchase a bond, you are lending money to a government, city, corporation or any other entity known as an issuer. In return for that money, the issuer provides you with a bond in which it promises to pay a specified rate of interest during the life of the bond, and to repay the face value of the bond (the principal) when t matures or comes due. Bonds can also be referred to as bills, notes, debt securities, or debt obligations. The various types of bonds, and they are defined according to their functions as follows: 1. Corporate bonds are bonds issued by the most established corporations. In the Philippines, most bond issuers are from the banking sector, real estate and telecommunications industry. The corporations are leveraging on the funds raised to finance their operational and capital expenditures.
2. Secured bonds are bonds that are backed up by
corporate collaterals that have substantial value such as property, plant or equipment. Collateral is a valuable asset of a borrower that is pledged as a security for a loan which will be automatically transferred to the lender in case of borrower’s default. 3. Unsecured bonds are not collateralized by any substantial corporate asset. Also known as debenture bonds, these bonds are only issued with good faith.
4. Convertible bonds are bonds that can be interchanged
with shares of stock. These are also a hybrid type of bond because of their debt or equity features.
5. Callable bonds are bonds that can literally be recalled
or redeemed by the issuer even before the bonds mature. This situation usually happens when there is fluctuation in interest rates, and the issuer can resort to issue new bonds at lower rate. What are stocks? • Financial analysts and advisors often say that the stock market is the measure of a country’s economy or the world economy for that matter. Why do you think so? • Stocks are defined as shares of ownership in a corporation. Most of the corporations listed in a stock exchange house are the top tier corporations. Stocks, as compared to bonds, are almost the same in nature except that stocks are limited only to investment in corporations. These corporations sell their stocks for raising capital funds or to finance the expansion and operational requirements. Stocks are classified as common stock and preferred stock. • The common stockholders’ major difference over preferred stockholders is that they have the voting rights as to who they feel should be part of the company’s board of directors. Most of the time, the voting rights of common stockholders are equivalent to the number of shares they own. • The preferred stockholders’ advantage, on the other hand, is that they get preference in dividend payments; however, they do not have the voting rights. Dividends are a portion of the company’s earnings distributed among its stockholders. Dividends may be classified according to their characteristics and features.
• Classification of dividends
1. Cash dividend. From the term itself, it is a type of dividend that
is paid through cash. There are various dates in cash dividend that should be noted. First is the date of declaration. This is where the board of directors, decides to pay a certain dividend amount in cash to those investors holding the company’s stocks on specific date. Second is the date of record, which is the date on which dividends are allocated to the company’s stockholders. The last one is the date of payment, the date when the company issues cash dividend payments to its stockholders.
2. Stock dividend. This is the issuance of the company of its stock
to its stockholders. Stock dividends usually occur when a company does not have sufficient cash. 3. Property dividend. Aside from cash and stock, a company may also opt to issue a nonmonetary dividend or property to the stockholders.
4. Scrip dividend. Similar to stock and property dividends, a
certain company may not have enough liquidity to distribute cash dividends in the near future; so instead they issue scrip dividends. A scrip dividend is essentially an obligation to pay or simply a promissory note (which may include interest) to pay stockholders at a specific date.
5. Liquidating dividends. This occurs when the company’s board
of directors wishes to return the stock investment which was originally contributed by the stockholders in the form of a dividend. A liquidating dividend is usually a glaring sign that the company is already winding down its business. Thus, the company already fully distributes its assets to the rightful owners including the stockholders. Theory of Efficient Market • Stock prices by their nature fluctuate, “good news” is theoretically the result of an increasing stock price, while “bad news” entails decline in stock price. An investor, aside from the dividends earned from the corporation he or she invested, also earns money by buying the stocks at lower price (or when supply is high and the demand is low) and sells them at higher price (or when the demand is high). Three levels of Theory of Efficient Market
1. Weak – form efficiency
2. Semi – form efficiency 3. Strong – form efficiency Size-up Activity • Individual Activity • Copy and Answer
