How Securities are Traded
CHAPTER 3 How Securities are Traded
55
How Firms Issue Securities
Primary New issue Key factor: issuer receives the proceeds from the sale Secondary Existing owner sells to another party Issuing firm doesn’t receive proceeds and is not directly involved
56
How Firms Issue Securities Continued
Investment Banking Shelf Registration Private Placements Initial Public Offerings (IPOs)
57
Investment Banking Underwritten: firm commitment on proceeds to the issuing firm Red herring Prospectus
58
Figure 3.1 Relationship Among a Firm Issuing Securities, the Underwriters and the Public
59
Shelf Registrations SEC Rule 415 Introduced in 1982
Ready to be issued – on the shelf
60
Private Placements Sale to a limited number of sophisticated investors not requiring the protection of registration Allowed under Rule 144A Dominated by institutions Very active market for debt securities Not active for stock offerings
61
Initial Public Offerings
Process Road shows Bookbuilding Underpricing Post sale returns Cost to the issuing firm

78
Trading Costs Commission: fee paid to broker for making the transaction Spread: cost of trading with dealer Bid: price dealer will buy from you Ask: price dealer will sell to you Spread: ask - bid Combination: on some trades both are paid
79
Buying on Margin Using only a portion of the proceeds for an investment Borrow remaining component Margin arrangements differ for stocks and futures
80
Stock Margin Trading Margin is currently 50%; you can borrow up to 50% of the stock value Set by the Fed Maintenance margin: minimum amount equity in trading can be before additional funds must be put into the account Margin call: notification from broker that you must put up additional funds
81
Margin Trading - Initial Conditions Example 3.1
X Corp $100 60% Initial Margin 40% Maintenance Margin 100 Shares Purchased Initial Position Stock $10,000 Borrowed $4,000 Equity $6,000
82
Margin Trading - Maintenance Margin Example 3.1
Stock price falls to $70 per share New Position Stock $7,000 Borrowed $4,000 Equity $3,000 Margin% = $3,000/$7,000 = 43%
83
Margin Trading - Margin Call Example 3.2
How far can the stock price fall before a margin call? (100P - $4,000)* / 100P = 30% P = $ * 100P - Amt Borrowed = Equity
84
Table 3.4 Illustration of Buying Stock on Margin
85
Short Sales Purpose: to profit from a decline in the price of a stock or security Mechanics Borrow stock through a dealer Sell it and deposit proceeds and margin in an account Closing out the position: buy the stock and return to the party from which is was borrowed
86
Short Sale – Initial Conditions Example 3.3
Dot Bomb 1,000 Shares 50% Initial Margin 30% Maintenance Margin $100 Initial Price Sale Proceeds $100,000 Margin & Equity ,000 Stock Owed ,000
87
Short Sale - Maintenance Margin
Stock Price Rises to $110 Sale Proceeds $10,000 Initial Margin ,000 Stock Owed ,000 Net Equity ,000 Margin % (4000/11,000) %
88
Short Sale - Margin Call
How much can the stock price rise before a margin call? ($150,000* P) / (100P) = 30% P = $115.38 * Initial margin plus sale proceeds 88
89
Regulation of Securities Markets
Major regulations Securities Act of 1933 Securities Act of 1934 Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 Self-Regulation Stock markets are largely self-regulating
90
Regulation Securities Markets Continued
Regulatory Responses to Recent Scandals Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Financial experts to serve on audit committees of boards of directors CEOs and CFOs personally certify firms’ financial reports Boards must have independent directors Sarbanes-Oxley Act
91
Circuit Breakers Trading halts Collars
92
Insider Trading Officers, directors, major stockholders must report all transactions in firm’s stock Insiders do exploit their knowledge Leakage of useful information to some traders
93
Mutual Funds and Other Investment Companies
CHAPTER 4 Mutual Funds and Other Investment Companies
94
Investment Companies These companies perform several important functions for investors: Administration & record keeping Diversification & divisibility Professional management Reduced transaction costs
95
Net Asset Value Used as a basis for valuation of investment company shares Selling new shares Redeeming existing shares Calculation Market Value of Assets - Liabilities Shares Outstanding
96
Types of Investment Companies
Unit Trusts Managed Investment Companies Open-End Open-end: shares outstanding change when new shares are sold or old shares are redeemed Priced at Net Asset Value(NAV) Closed-End no change in shares outstanding unless new stock is offered Priced at Premium or discount to NAV
97

103
Fees and Mutual Fund Returns
104
Fees and Mutual Fund Returns: An Example
Initial NAV = $20 Income distributions of $.15 Capital gain distributions of $.05 Ending NAV = $20.10:
105
Table 4.2 Impacts of Costs on Investment Performance
106
Trading Scandal with Mutual Funds
Late trading – allowing some investors to purchase or sell later than other investors Market timing – allowing investors to buy or sell on stale net asset values International Net effect is to transfer value from other shareholders to privileged traders Reduction in the rate of return of the mutual fund
107
Potential Reforms Strict 4:00 PM cutoff with late orders executed the following trading day Fair value pricing with net asset values being adjusted for trading in open markets Imposition of redemption fees
108
Taxation on Mutual Fund Income
Pass-through status under the U.S. tax code Taxes are paid only by the investor High turnover leads to tax inefficiency
109
Exchange Traded Funds ETF allow investors to trade index portfolios like shares of stock Examples - SPDRs and WEBS Potential advantages Lower taxes Trade continuously Lower costs Potential disadvantages Prices can depart by small amounts from NAV

Mutual Fund Investment Performance: A First Look
Evidence shows that average mutual fund performance is generally less than broad market performance Evidence that performance is consistent from one period to the next is suggestive but inconclusive
