Have fun and good luck! Activity: Read and explain the following case questions: Use separate sheet of paper for your answers. 1. Suppose that you run a business and during your management of money, some cash remain. What should you do with that cash? 2. If you’re going to save your money, where would you keep it? 3. Given the opportunity to manage a business, what would it be? Now, suppose that the business that you’ve manage became profitable for some time. Then you decided to expand your business but you don’t have enough cash to pay for the expansion. Where can you get the additional funding? Discover Draw two boxes and label with names of learners A and B. Below [A], write “Saver”, and below [B], write “users of funds”. 2 If A knows that B is in need of funds, or if B knows that A is willing to invest funds, A and B may agree to make a Private Placement. *Private Placements - the sale of a new security directly to an investor or group of investors. However, if these facts are unknown to them, A and B can go to a Financial Market which is an organized forum that lets A, along with other suppliers of funds, and B, along with other users of funds, meet and make transactions. Once A and B have met in the Financial Market, they can now agree to make a private placement. If A and B do not want to make an effort to find a counterpart in the Financial Markets, A and B may go to a Financial Institution. A Financial Institution will receive A’s supply of funds and match it with B’s demand of funds. Unlike the Financial Markets were A and B knows to whom the fund went and from whom the funds came, Financial Institutions serve as an intermediary to the suppliers and users of funds. Moreover, Financial institutions actively participate in the financial markets as both suppliers and users of funds.

Enrichment Activity: Read and answer the following questions. Use separate sheet of paper for your answers. 1. How transactions between suppliers and users of funds take place. How would you prove that there was a transaction so that the demander will be able to repay the supplier on time and at the right amount? 2. Due to the increased need for security for the performance of obligations arising from these transactions and due to the growing size of the financial system, where does the transfers of funds from one party to another are made? Great job! You have understood the lesson. Are you now ready to summarize? Deepen At this point, we will further discuss the composition of the Financial System and that you will identify the types of Financial Markets, Financial Institutions and Financial Instruments. 1. Financial Instruments When a financial instrument is issued, it gives rise to a financial asset on one hand and a financial liability or equity instrument on the other. Recall from ABM the following definitions: - A Financial Asset is any asset that is: Cash An equity instrument of another entity A contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity. A contractual right to exchange instruments with another entity under conditions that are potentially favorable. (IAS 32.11) 4 Examples: Notes Receivable, Loans Receivable, Investment in Stocks, Investment in Bonds - A Financial Liability is any liability that is a contractual obligation: To deliver cash or other financial instrument to another entity. To exchange financial instruments with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable. (IAS 32) Examples: Notes Payable, Loans Payable, Bonds Payable - An Equity Instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all liabilities. (IAS 32) Examples: Ordinary Share Capital, Preference Share Capital When companies are in need of funding, they either sell debt securities (or bonds) or issue equity instruments. The proceeds from the sale of the debt securities and issuance of bonds will be used to finance the company’s plans. On the other hand, investors buy debt securities of equity instruments in hopes of receiving returns through interest, dividend income or appreciation in the financial asset’s price. Identify common examples of Debt and Equity Instruments. - Debt Instruments generally have fixed returns due to fixed interest rates. Examples of debt instruments are as follows: Treasury Bonds and Treasury Bills are issued by the Philippine government. These bonds and bills have usually low interest rates and have very low risk of default since the government assures that these will be paid. Corporate Bonds are issued by publicly listed companies. These bonds usually have higher interest rates than Treasury bonds. However, these bonds are not risk free. If the company which issued the bonds goes bankrupt, the holder of the bonds will no longer receive any return from their investment and even their principal investment can be wiped out. - Equity Instruments generally have varied returns based on the performance of the issuing company. Returns from equity instruments come from either dividends or stock price appreciation. The following are types of equity instruments: Preferred Stock has priority over a common stock in terms of claims over the assets of a company. This means that if a company were to be liquidated and its assets have to be distributed, no asset will be distributed to common stockholders unless all the claims of the preferred stockholders have been given. Moreover, preferred stockholders have also priority over common stockholders in cash dividend declaration. Dividends to preferred stockholders are usually in a fixed rate. No cash dividends will be given to common stockholders unless all the dividends due to preferred stockholders are paid first. (Cayanan, 2017) Holders of Common Stock on the other hand are the real owners of the company. If the company’s growth is spurring, the common stockholders will benefit on the growth. Moreover, during a profitable period for which a company 5 may decide to declare higher dividends, preferred stock will receive a fixed dividend rate while common stockholders receive all the excess. 2. Financial Markets Recall the definition of financial markets from earlier discussion. Classify Financial Markets into comparative groups: - Primary vs. Secondary Markets To raise money, users of funds will go to a primary market to issue new securities (either debt or equity) through a public offering or a private placement. The sale of new securities to the general public is referred to as a public offering and the first offering of stock is called an initial public offering. The sale of new securities to one investor or a group of investors (institutional investors) is referred to as a private placement. However, suppliers of funds or the holders of the securities may decide to sell the securities that have previously been purchased. The sale of previously owned securities takes place in secondary markets. The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) is both a primary and secondary market. - Money Markets vs. Capital Markets Money markets are a venue wherein securities with short-term maturities (1 year or less) are sold. They are created because some individuals, businesses, governments, and financial institutions have temporarily idle funds that they wish to invest in a relatively safe, interest-bearing asset. At the same time, other individuals, businesses, governments, and financial institutions find themselves in need of seasonal or temporary financing. On the other hand, securities with longer-term maturities are sold in Capital markets. The key capital market securities are bonds (long-term debt) and both common stock and preferred stock (equity, or ownership). 3. Financial Institutions Recall the definition of Financial institutions from the earlier discussion. Identify examples of financial institutions: - Commercial Banks - Individuals deposit funds at commercial banks, which use the deposited funds to provide commercial loans to firms and personal loans to individuals, and purchase debt securities issued by firms or government agencies. - Insurance Companies - Individuals purchase insurance (life, property and casualty, and health) protection with insurance premiums. The insurance companies pool these payments and invest the proceeds in various securities until the funds are needed to pay off claims by policyholders. Because they often own large blocks of a firm’s stocks or bonds, they frequently attempt to influence the management of the firm to improve the firm’s performance, and ultimately, the performance of the securities they own. - Mutual Funds - Mutual funds are owned by investment companies which enable small investors to enjoy the benefits of investing in a diversified portfolio of securities purchased on their behalf by professional investment managers. When 6 mutual funds use money from investors to invest in newly issued debt or equity securities, they finance new investment by firms. Conversely, when they invest in debt or equity securities already held by investors, they are transferring ownership of the securities among investors. - Pension Funds - Financial institutions that receive payments from employees and invest the proceeds on their behalf. - Other financial institutions include pension funds like Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) and Social Security System (SSS), unit investment trust fund (UITF), investment banks, and credit unions, among others. Figure 2: How Financial Institutions Provide Financing for Firms (Gitman & Zutter, 2012) The figure above illustrates how the key financial institutions serve as intermediaries for suppliers and users of funds Integration of Learning Question for reflection: How would you relate the role of financial managers, role of financial markets and role of investors?
