“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
