Objectives

  • In the economic sense, capital formation is the change in the stock of the capital goods represented by producers’ durable equipment, and business inventories. In modern capitalistic economy, capital formation would be impossible without a market or group of markets for the transfer of savings to those seeking funds for investment in economic goods and services. In this connection, a variety of instruments representing money and claims to money are employed. Savers provide the funds and in return expect to receive dividends, interest, or rent and the investors offer the hope of income and price appreciation. In the financial sense, a securities market is the market for instruments representing longer-term funds. It is consisted of institutions and mechanism whereby intermediate-term funds and long-term funds are pooled and made available to business, government, and individuals, and where outstanding instruments are transferred. On the other hand, money market focuses on debt instruments only with maturities ranging from one day to one year. It engages in purchasing and selling of new instruments rather than trading in outstanding claims. In financial terminology, the investment market includes the markets for funds of both short and long term. Securities market plays a crucial role for the proper functioning of capitalistic economy. They serve to channel funds from savers to borrowers. Another important function that the securities market does is the allocative function by channeling funds to those who can make best use of them. The existence of the secondary market ensures the purchasers of the primary securities that they can quickly sell their securities. This well-organized course outline deals with the fundamentals analysis and management of investments in different assets like shares, stocks, bonds, debentures, and other derivatives which are frequently traded in the securities markets. Undoubtedly the course would be beneficial to the students of business discipline and also be useful to the learners of professional courses like Executive MBA, CA, ICMA, ACCA, MBM, and side by side academic and professional achievement. The course would, no doubt, help the practioners working in the areas of security analysis and investment like corporate financial managers, security analysts, bankers, portfolio managers, brokers, dealers, government policy makers and investors both individuals and institutions.
