Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since financial myths exploded in the 1980s, the perspective of time creates a unique opportunity to update and expand the analysis begun in Glenn Yago's 1991 book, Junk Bonds: How High Yield Securities Restructured Corporate America (Oxford University Press). At the time of its publication, Junk Bonds drew controversial responses from the Federal Reserve and government agencies. In retrospect, the evidence clearly casts favorable light on the role of high yield securities. The research presented here demonstrates how financial innovations enabled capital access for industrial restructuring, capital and labor productivity gains, and improved global competitiveness. Enough time has now passed to allow this dispassionate empirical analysis to shear away the hype and hysteria that surrounded the Wall Street scandals, Washington controversies, and media frenzy of the time. Beyond Junk Bonds provides a one-stop data, reference and case study presentation of the firms and securities in the contemporary high yield market and the financial innovations that spurred growth in the nineties and will continue to finance the future. The high yield market incubated successive waves of financial technologies that now proliferate beyond junk bonds to all the dimensions and dynamics of global debt and equity capital markets. It charts the recovery of the market in the 1990s, the recent wave of fallen angels, distressed credits and defaults, and suggests how the high yield market will be recreated in the global market of the 21st century. It explicates the linkages between the high yield market, and other credit and equity markets in managing a firm's capital structure to execute its business strategy. The weakening of the U. S. economy in 2001 and the huge shock to Wall Street from the terrorist attacks of September 11 witnessed a historic increase in the yield to maturity of high yield bonds. Despite the volatility in the flow of funds to high yield mutual funds and occasionally sharp increases in non-investment grade debt yields, the asset class has been one of the best performing fixed income investments of the past decades. In fact, high yield bonds offer an attractive risk-reward ratio competitive with more traditional asset classes. Anyone active in corporate finance, financial institutions and capital markets will find this book a must read for interpreting and understanding the recent history both of the high yield marketplace and its interaction with private equity, public equity, and fixed income markets.

Book excerpt: The junk bond, the fastest growing financial instrument of the 1980s, as been linked to all that is wrong with Wall Street. But in Junk Bonds, economist Glenn Yago argues that, despite the bad press, these high yield securities are still one of the most efficient and equitable ways for American companies to finance their futures. Yago points out that, before junk bonds, conservative investors like insurance companies, pension funds, and bank trust departments placed their capital primarily in investment-grade securities--and only five percent of the American companies with sales over $35 million qualify to issue investment grade bonds. In effect, ninety-five percent of the nation's mid-sized firms were frozen out of the public debt market. Junk bonds changed all that. In addition, Yago argues that the much-maligned divestitures associated with junk bond-funded buyouts were not necessarily destructive; many sold-off units, he writes, flourished under new management structures. Yago concludes that we have witnessed a fundamental restructuring of corporate America, made possible in part by high yield financing. The result is a bright future as American businesses return to productivity and competitiveness, one that will benefit managers, stockholders, and workers alike.

Download or read book Fifty and Beyond written by Kenney F. Hegland and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty and Beyond is the only inclusive book on the legal problems faced by the millions of individuals over the age of fifty. Intended to serve as a guide for those approaching an important passage in their lives that includes many changes, the book provides clear and easily understood answers to many of the questions that must be addressed as these transitions occur. Written by a nationally recognized expert on elder law and a law school professor, the book covers all of the major issues -- from the decision to retire to death in the family, from estate planning to health care planning, from remarriage in the golden years to the legal problems faced by grandparents. In the book, Hegland and Bogutz cover Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, as well as federal and state laws outlawing age and disability discrimination. They also cover such topics as home care and nursing homes, hospice, elder abuse, common scams, housing alternatives and retirement finances. The most important issue addressed in Fifty and Beyond is that of knowing what's coming and what to do about it, as well as where to turn for assistance. Perhaps equally important is the need for communication within the family as to personal preferences for care, medical treatment, and family finances. The book makes law very accessible. The legal principles are well stated and illustrated, and the reader is carried along with humor and even poetry. Readers of this book will have a source of good and practical advice on how to face the changes of later life, as well as have a continuing reference book to consult as new questions arise. "Astoundingly exhaustive in its range of subjects, Fifty and Beyond provides accurate, to-the-point legal advice..." -- Charles Sabatino, ABA Commission on Legal Problems of the Elderly

Book excerpt: Developing countries normally have access to a variety of foreign credits suited to different needs. The three papers included in this report examine the characteristics of different major categories of credit markets -- short term trade credit, short-to-medium term project financing, and longer term bond financing -- and how countries can establish, or reestablish, their access to them. Trade credit usually quite short term and often self liquidating is frequently the last credit to be lost and the first to be restored. Project financing can be tailored to cover many risks -- at a cost -- and is available for countries with promising projects. There is a limited range of such projects, though the possibilities grow as economies become more stable. Access to bond markets requires a very high perception of creditworthiness and countries that have established sound economic policies and convinced lenders of the sustainability of these policies can begin to obtain this kind of financing. These papers go into these methods of financing in considerable detail, describe market structures and participants, and give examples of actual lending activities. They give ranges of costs of transactions and security requirements. Finally, they suggest strategies and actions countries can take to improve their access to these markets.
