Jewelry, Painting, Antiques? Not easy to liquidate in
exchange for goods and services. Value is based on
opinion of professionals and not generally agreed nor
accepted by all.
-
If one holds government bonds, it is easy to sell in
exchange for cash but that depends on its price it will
fetch in the money market. Also it has a maturity date
and cannot get full value until maturity.
Other Assets That Can Act as Money?
- Bank Deposits – Time Deposits (1mth, 3mths,
6mths, 1year etc) are difficult to convert to cash
as it involves a penalty to the depositor if they
tried withdraw cash before the date of maturity.
- Saving accounts – Easier to withdraw in
exchange for goods and services. No penalty.

money to lend money to those that need it. The
act of arranging loans or borrowing is called

institutions and big corporations which have
treasury divisions.

How The Bank Functions
1. Making Loans
OCBC banks obtained a request from Singapore International
Airlines which requires $10 million overdraft over 1 year to
pay for renovation of one of their hangers that houses the
Boeing 777 planes.
Step 1: OCBC goes into the money market and calls
up a few banks to get the best rate. It gets lowest
rate from Mitsui Bank for $10 million at 2% for 1 year
loan.
How The Bank Functions

OCBC banks obtained a request from Singapore International

How The Bank Functions
1. Making Loans
OCBC banks obtained a request from Singapore International
Airlines which requires $50 million overdraft over 1 year to
pay for renovation of one of their hangers that houses the
Boeing 777 planes.
Step 3: OCBC draws up the overdraft contract to
borrow from Mitsui and lends to SIA. In the process,
OCBC makes 0.25% profit (2.25 – 2.00). In terms of
money profit made, it would be 0.25/100 X US$10
million = $250,000.
(not bad considering that the OCBC dealer merely picked up
the phone and intermediated between Mitsui and SIA)

The Stock Market
A stock refers to money that is raised by a joint
stock company (a company with many
shareholders), a corporation or the government
(government bonds).
Who Owns a Company?
A company is owned by people who hold shares or
equity of the company. These equity are also referred
to as stocks.
Because there are many people who own shares in a
company, we call this joint stock meaning that the
company is jointly owned by many shareholders.
What Benefits in Financial Terms Is there
for Shareholders
Whenever a company is profitable and makes profits, it will share
some of this profits to the shareholders through a dividend.
However, this share of dividend is different for differ classes of
shareholders:
- Preferred Stock shareholders – They will get to have dividend
paid to them first before other forms of shareholders (like the
common stock shareholders). Their dividend is often a fixed
percentage of the value of the nominal value of the share. These
shares however do not carry voting rights.
- Common stock shareholders – They will be paid the left over
dividend after having paid the preferred shareholders first. This
could sometimes mean very little or nothing left for common
stock shareholders. They however, have voting rights and can
vote out the members in the board of directors.
What do companies do in the stock
market?
-Companies try to raise funds to further their operations in a stock market.
-Each time they do this they go to the stock market to float their shares.
A stock market consist of buyers and seller of stocks and shares.
Whoever buys a share of the company gets to own a smaller portion of the
Company.
-Once money is raised, the funds will go to the permanent or what is
called the paid up capital of the company.
IT IS NOT EASY TO RAISE FUNDS ON A STOCK EXCHANGE AS THERE ARE MANY
PRE-LISTING OR FLOATATION CONDITIONS THAT HAS TO BE MET PRIOR
FLOATION.
Government Stocks
Government Stocks are not in the form of equity or shares. It
is in the form of government bonds and treasury bill (bills are
are form of government bonds but with a loan period of less
than 1 year).

year US Gov.
