Download or read book Equity Markets in Transition written by Reto Francioni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book underscores the complexity of the equity markets, the challenges they face, and the fact that they are still a work in process. Three interacting forces drive market change: competition, technology change, and regulatory change. The markets have one major objective in particular to achieve: the delivery of accurate price discovery for both traders and the broader market. Are we getting it? Are competition, technology, and regulation acting together to improve market quality, or are they adding to the complexity of the markets and making accurate price discovery harder to achieve? The difficulty of addressing these issues and reaching a consensus regarding public policy is reflected in the diverse opinions expressed in this book. From an institutional perspective, the volume’s contributors highlight the interconnectedness of all aspects of the internal and external environment within which exchange organizations act. Equity Markets in Transition underscores how technological evolution and recent regulatory changes have influenced the business, and how these developments have opened new possibilities for exchange organizations and for equity markets as a whole, including such issues as the impact of equity markets on job creation. The book combines both a theoretical and a practical approach. Part I presents a theoretical overview of the international equity market business, including an overall description of the value chain of stock trading that includes deep dives on every decisive step. Part II contains contributions from various business specialists who have specific practical and academic knowledge of the different steps. Equity Markets in Transition represents a unique combination of theoretical and practical analysis that offers first-hand insights on all relevant interactions and interrelations among the various parts of the exchange business, with an emphasis on facilitating analysis of the status quo and of emerging trends regarding business models, regulation, and the development of the competitor, customer and investor sides.

Download or read book Mezzanine Capital in Europe written by Markus Herbert Tyl and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2002-11-22 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: In corporate finance two major decisions have to be made. One is the investment decision which means companies must decide which available opportunities they should invest in. The other one, the financing decision, also known as the capital structure decision, tries to answer the question of from where the money to finance investment projects should come. Money can either be raised internally, through retained earnings, or externally. Mezzanine capital, as a special type of external finance, therefore falls into the area of the financing decision. Although the use of mezzanine capital has increased in Europe in recent years, this special type of finance is still relatively unknown in some countries. Therefore, the purpose of my thesis is to familiarise the reader with this particular type of finance. It is structured in a way that it sequentially deals with the following questions: How did mezzanine develop? Can it offer an advantage compared to financing only with debt and equity? Which basic types of mezzanine instruments exist and how are they valued? When and where is mezzanine used? At the end, an example of a management buy-out in which mezzanine is used is provided. This will give important insights into the practical use of multiples to structure the deal, the mezzanine investment process, the investment criteria and the various exit routes that exist. The paper will be concluded with an overview on the European mezzanine landscape and on how recent stock market developments and the new Basel capital accord (Basel II) may impact the future of mezzanine capital. Special terminology or important information that is used in the private equity area is written in bold letters if mentioned for the first time in the text. The issue of a convertible promissory note to raise funds to build a canal in the UK is believed to be the first mezzanine instrument. It was issued in 1798 by the Company of proprietors to the Canal Navigation from Manchester to or near Ashton-under-Lyne and Oldham . However, the idea of converting debt into equity was already used after the War of Spanish Succession when in 1711 the British government had a heavy debt burden. As the debt was trading at a substantial discount it made the refinancing more difficult. A solution was found in creating a new body, the South Sea Company , whose newly issued shares were to be swapped for £9.5m of floating debt - thereby reducing the interest [...]
Download or read book The Origins of Europe s New Stock Markets written by Elliot Posner and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1995 and 2007, financial elites in more than a dozen western European countries engaged in a cross-border battle to create some twenty new stock markets, many of which were explicitly modeled on the American Nasdaq. The resulting high-risk, high-reward markets facilitated wealth creation, rewarded venture capitalists, and drew major U.S. financial players to Europe. But they also chipped away at the European social compacts between national governments and citizens, opening the door of smaller company finance to the broad trend of marketization and its bounties, and further subjecting European households and family businesses to the rhythms of global capital. Elliot Posner explores the causes of Europe’s emergence as a global financial power, addressing classic and new questions about the origins of markets and their relationship to politics and bureaucracy. In doing so, he attributes the surprising large-scale transformation of Europe’s capital markets to the rise of the European Union as a global political force. The effect of Europe’s financial ascendance will have major ramifications around the world, and Posner’s analysis will push market participants, policymakers, and academics to rethink the sources of financial change in Europe and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The richness, clarity and nuances of the structure and methodology followed by the contributors make the book a very valuable tool for students... seeking to obtain a general understanding of the market and how it is regulated.” – Ligia Catherine Arias Barrera, Banking & Finance Law Review The fully updated edition of this user-friendly textbook continues to systematise the European law governing capital markets and examines the underlying concepts from a broadly interdisciplinary perspective.

The 1st chapter deals with the foundations of capital markets law in Europe, the 2nd explains the basics, and the 3rd examines the regime on market abuse. Chapter 4 explores the disclosure system and chapter 5 short-selling and high-frequency trading. The role of intermediaries, such as financial analysts, rating agencies, and proxy advisers, is described in chapter 6. Chapter 7 explains compliance and corporate governance in investment firms and chapter 8 illustrates the regulation of benchmarks. Finally, chapter 9 deals with public takeovers. Throughout the book emphasis is placed on legal practice, and frequent reference is made to the key decisions of supervisory authorities and courts. This is essential reading for students involved in the study of capital markets law and financial law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate finance theory seeks to understand how incorporated firms address the financial constraints that affect their investment decisions. This is achieved by using varied financial instruments that give holders different claims on the firm's assets.

The legal environment is crucially important in explaining the choices that companies make about their capital structure. This book combines company law, capital market regulation and commercial law to give readers a detailed understanding of the legal and regulatory issues relating to corporate financial transactions. Informed by insights from the theoretical and empirical work of financial economists, the book examines, from a legal perspective, key elements of corporate financing structures and capital markets in the UK. The authors' practical experience of transactions and regulatory issues ensures that thorough scholarly inquiry and critical reflection are complemented by an assured understanding of the interface between legal principles and rules as they are documented and in their actual operation.
