Money Market

  • The money market is a market for short-term debt securities with a maturity period of less than one year, providing a means for borrowers to access short-term funding and investors to earn returns on their short-term surplus funds.

Types of Money Market Securities

  • Examples of money market securities include commercial paper, treasury bills, certificates of deposit, and banker's acceptances.
  • NOT a money market security: Common Stock (as it is a long-term security)

Banker's Acceptances

  • A banker's acceptance is a negotiable instrument where a bank guarantees payment to a seller of goods or services on behalf of a buyer, making it a low-risk investment.

Yield to Maturity

  • Yield to maturity is the total return on an investment, including interest and any capital gains or losses, calculated from the time of purchase until the bond's maturity date.

Types of Preferred Shares

  • Preferred shares are a type of equity that has a higher claim on assets and earnings than common shares, and typically offers a fixed dividend rate.
  • Participating preferred shares are a type of preferred shares that, in addition to the fixed dividend, also participate in any additional dividends paid to common shareholders, making them more valuable.
