Study Notes

Fixed-Income Securities vs. Equity Securities

Fixed-income securities provide a regular income stream to investors through interest payments, whereas equity securities represent ownership in a company and offer the potential for capital appreciation.

Bondholders' Legal Protection

In the event of a bankruptcy, bondholders have a higher claim on a company's assets than shareholders, as they are considered creditors.

Raising Money

Companies raise money for various reasons, including: • Financing new projects or ventures • Expanding existing operations • Refinancing debt • Repurchasing shares

Determining Financing Terms

The terms on which investors will finance a company depend on factors such as: • The company's creditworthiness • Market conditions • The level of risk involved in the investment • The expected return on investment

Equity Securities' Primary Source of Income

The primary source of income for equity securities is capital appreciation, which occurs when the value of the shares increases over time.
