Introduction: The Role of Financial
Assets
• The financial system is the mechanism through which loanable
funds reach borrowers.
• Through the operation of the financial markets, money is
exchanged for financial claims in the form of stocks, bonds,
and other securities, thereby transforming savings into
investment so that the economy can grow.

The Creation of Financial Assets
A financial asset is …
• a claim against the income or wealth of a business firm,
household, or unit of government,
• represented usually by a certificate, receipt, computer record
file, or other legal document,
• and usually created by or related to the lending of money.

Characteristics of Financial Assets
• Financial assets are sought after because they promise future
returns to their owners and serve as a store of value
(purchasing power).

2-8
Characteristics of Financial Assets
• They do not depreciate like physical goods, and their physical
condition or form is usually not relevant in determining their
market value.
• They have little or no value as a commodity and their cost of
transportation and storage is low.
• Financial assets are fungible – they can easily be changed in
form and substituted for other assets.

Different Kinds of Financial Assets

Any financial asset that is generally accepted in payment for
purchases of goods and services is money. Currency and
checking accounts are forms of money.
 Equities represent ownership shares in a business firm and are
claims against the firm’s profits and against proceeds from the
sale of its assets. Common stock and preferred stock are
equities.

Different Kinds of Financial Assets


Debt securities entitle their holders to a priority claim over the
holders of equities to the assets and income of an economic
unit. They can be negotiable or nonnegotiable. Examples
include bonds, notes, accounts payable, and savings deposits.
Derivatives have a market value that is tied to or influenced by
the value or return on a financial asset. Examples include
futures contracts, options, and swaps.

How Financial Assets Are Born
• To acquire assets, households and business firms may use
current income and accumulated savings – internal financing.
• An economic unit may also raise funds by issuing financial
liabilities (debt) or stock (equities), provided that a buyer can
be found – external financing.

Financial Assets and the Financial
System
• The act of borrowing or of issuing new stock simultaneously
gives rise to the creation of an equal volume of financial
assets.
• All financial assets are recorded as a liability or claim on some
other economic unit’s balance sheet.
 Volume of financial assets created for lenders
= Volume of liabilities issued by borrowers

2 - 16
Financial Assets and the Financial
System
• For the balance sheet of any economic unit,
Total assets = Total liabilities + Net worth
where assets = real assets + financial assets
• For the whole economy and financial system,
Total financial assets = Total liabilities

So, for the economy as a whole,
Total real assets = Total net worth

Financial Assets and the Financial
System
• So, society increases its wealth only by saving and increasing
the quantity of its real assets, for these assets enable the
economy to produce more goods and services in the future.
• However, the financial system provides the essential channel
necessary for the creation and exchange of financial assets
between savers and borrowers so that real assets can be
acquired.

Lending and Borrowing in the Financial
System
• Economists John Gurley and Edward Shaw pointed out that
each business firm, household, or unit of government active in
the financial system must conform to:
R – E = FA – D

Lending and Borrowing in the Financial
System
• So, for any given time period, each economic unit must fall
into one of three groups:
 Deficit-budget unit (DBU):
E > R, so D > FA (net borrower of funds)

Surplus-budget unit (SBU):
R > E, so FA > D (net lender of funds)

Balanced-budget unit (BBU):
R = E, so D = FA (neither net lender nor borrower)

Lending and Borrowing in the Financial
System
• The global financial system permits businesses, households,
and governments to adjust their financial position from that of
net borrower (DBU) to net lender (SBU) and back again,
smoothly and efficiently.

What is Money?
• All financial assets are valued in terms of money, and flows of
funds between lenders and borrowers occur through the
medium of money.
• Money itself is a financial asset, because all forms of money in
use today are claims against some public or private institution.

The Functions of Money



Money serves as a standard of value (or unit of account) for all
goods and services.
Money serves as a medium of exchange, such that buyers and
sellers no longer need to have an exact coincidence of wants in
terms of quality, quantity, time, and location.
Money serves as a store of value – a reserve of future
purchasing power. However, the value of money can
experience marked fluctuations.

The Functions of Money

Money functions as the only perfectly liquid asset in the
financial system. It exhibits price stability, ready marketability,
and reversibility.

The Value of Money and Other Financial
Assets and Inflation
• Inflation refers to a rise in the average price level of all goods
and services.
• Inflation lowers the value or purchasing power of money and
is a special problem in the money and capital markets because
it can damage the value of financial contracts.
• The opposite of inflation is deflation, where the average level
of prices for goods and services actually declines.

The Value of Money and Other Financial
Assets and Inflation
• Inflation is commonly measured using price indices, such as:
- the Consumer Price Index (CPI),
- the Producer Price Index (PPI), or
- the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Deflator Index.

The Value of Money and Other Financial
Assets and Inflation
• Suppose the U.S. CPI rises from 100 to 125 over a five-year
period.
 Over the five-year period, the cost-of-living index climbed
125  100  0.25 or 25% ...
100
and the U.S. dollar’s relative purchasing power fell to

The Evolution of Financial Transactions
• Financial systems change constantly in response to shifting
demands from the public, the development of new technology,
and changes in laws and regulations.
• Over time, the ways of carrying out financial transactions have
evolved in complexity.
• In particular, the transfer of funds from savers to borrowers
can be accomplished in at least three different ways.

by surplus-budget units.

Disintermediation of Funds
• Disintermediation refers to the withdrawal of funds from a
financial intermediary by the ultimate lenders (SBUs) and the
lending of those funds directly to the ultimate borrowers
(DBUs).
• Disintermediation involves the shifting of funds from indirect
finance to direct and semidirect finance.

Disintermediation of Funds
• Some new forms of disintermediation have appeared in recent
years.
 Initiation by financial intermediaries: Some banks sold off
some of their loans because of difficulties in raising capital.
 Initiation by borrowing customers: Some borrowing customers
learned how to raise funds directly from the open market.

Bank-Dominated Versus Security-Dominated
Financial Systems
• Lesser-developed financial systems are often bank-dominated
financial systems, in which banks and other similar institutions
dominate in supplying credit and attracting savings.
• The more mature systems today are becoming securitydominated financial systems, in which traditional
intermediaries play lesser roles and growing numbers of
borrowers sell securities to the public to raise the funds they
need.
