2. What are the advantages of:

a) private markets? 

b) public markets? 

c) borrowing money?

b) debt? 

c) public markets? 

d) private markets?

 

Đáp án:

a) significant capital cost; investors expect a return that reflects the risk

b) interest burden required to be paid over time, reducing cash the company has available for investment 

c) no private relationship with investors; dispersed (i.e. widely-spread) shareholder base

d) possible lack of capital available; investors want a significant return and some control over the management of the business

 

C. Listen to the final part. Simon says there are four reasons why finance has become a short-term business. What are they?

 

Đáp án:

1. Breadth of opportunity gives investors a range of investment choices.

2. The speed and quality of information makes it easier to make a decision.

3. Banks are less relationship-driven for financing; loans are a more tradable feature. (Explain that loans are sold on by the original lender and then traded [= bought and sold] between financial institutions that have nothing to do with the original lending.)

4. Easy to buy and sell shares, so the ‘churn’ (or turnover) of shares is high.
