Study Notes
Economia Modigliani e Miller
Vinculação Entre Risco e Retorno
- A relação entre risco e retorno é fundamental na teoria de finanças.
- Investidores requerem maior retorno para aceitarem maior risco.
- Modigliani e Miller argumentam que, em um mercado perfeito, essa relação deve se manter, independentemente da estrutura de capital da empresa.
Teoria do Valor Presente
- A teoria do valor presente sustenta que o valor de um ativo é igual à soma dos fluxos de caixa futuros descontados a uma taxa que reflete seu risco.
- Modigliani e Miller enfatizam a importância de considerar o valor do dinheiro no tempo em decisões de investimento.
- As decisões financeiras devem focar em maximizar o valor presente dos fluxos de caixa da empresa.
Política de Dividendos
- Consta que a política de dividendos de uma empresa não influencia seu valor em mercados perfeitos.
- Dividends são vistos como uma maneira de retornos aos acionistas, mas não afetam a estrutura de capital.
- A decisão de pagar ou reter lucros deve ser baseada em oportunidades de investimento, não na necessidade de distribuir lucros.
Teoria da Estrutura de Capital
- A estrutura de capital refere-se à proporção de dívida e patrimônio que uma empresa utiliza para financiar suas operações.
- Segundo Modigliani e Miller, em um mercado sem impostos, a estrutura de capital não afeta o valor da empresa.
- Na presença de impostos, a dedutibilidade dos juros pode criar um benefício fiscal, tornando a dívida potencialmente mais atraente.
Eficiência de Mercados
- Mercados eficientes são aqueles em que os preços dos ativos refletem todas as informações disponíveis.
- A teoria de Modigliani e Miller assume a eficiência do mercado, que implica que as informações são rapidamente incorporadas nos preços, tornando impossível obter retornos anormais consistentemente.
- Em um mercado eficiente, os investidores não podem prever o desempenho com base em informações passadas, promovendo um ambiente de risco calculado.
Risk and Return Relationship
- Investors require greater returns for accepting greater risk.
- Modigliani and Miller argue that in a perfect market, this relationship should hold regardless of the company's capital structure.
Present Value Theory
- The present value of an asset is the sum of its future cash flows discounted at a rate reflecting its risk.
- Modigliani and Miller emphasize the importance of considering the time value of money in investment decisions.
- Financial decisions should maximize the present value of the company's cash flows.
Dividend Policy
- Dividend policy does not influence a company's value in perfect markets.
- Dividends are returns to shareholders but don't affect capital structure.
- The decision to pay or retain profits should be based on investment opportunities, not the need to distribute profits.
Capital Structure Theory
- Capital structure refers to the proportion of debt and equity a company uses to finance its operations.
- In a tax-free market, capital structure does not affect the company's value.
- Tax deductibility of interest can create a tax advantage, making debt potentially more attractive.
Market Efficiency
- Efficient markets reflect all available information in asset prices.
- Modigliani and Miller's theory assumes market efficiency, meaning information is quickly incorporated into prices making it impossible to consistently earn abnormal returns.
- In an efficient market, investors cannot predict performance based on past information, fostering a calculated risk environment.
