Investment Theory

Physical assets refer to commodities (gold, silver, copper, etc.), real estate (land or buildings), wine, art and other tangible assets. You will hear people use various terns such as commodities, real assets and other loosely defined terms. The physical assets have value if someone wants to put the assets to productive use. Gold will also have a value as an alternative to paper currency. Shares of stock in a publicly traded company are considered a financial asset where you are one of many owners of the company. Or you can buy shares in an index or fund made up of a group of companies. The performance of the shares can depend on many factors including the performance of the management and the behavior of the other investors.

The primary market is that part of the capital markets that deals with the issuance of new securities. Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain funding through the sale of a new stock or bond issue. This is typically done through a syndicate of securities dealers. The process of selling new issues to investors is called underwriting. In the case of a new stock issue, this sale is an initial public offering (IPO). Dealers earn a commission that is built into the price of the security offering, though it can be found in the prospectus. Features of primary markets are: * This is the market for new long term capital. The primary market is the market where the securities are sold for the first time. Therefore it is also called the new issue market (NIM). * In a primary issue, the securities are issued by the company directly to investors. * The company receives the money and issues new security certificates to the investors. * Primary issues are used by companies for the purpose of setting up new business or for expanding or modernizing the existing business. * The primary market performs the crucial function of facilitating capital formation in the economy. * The new issue market does not include certain other sources of new long term external finance, such as loans from financial institutions. Borrowers in the new issue market may be raising capital for converting private capital into public capital; this is known as "going public." * The financial assests sold can only be redeemed by the original holder.

You can use index funds or exchange traded funds to track a broader market index. This gives you exposure to many different types of companies, without your individual research required. Furthermore, your money is allocated between many sectors, so if financial companies hit a rough patch, perhaps your oil companies will be doing well. For large-cap (large-cap = big company!) international exposure, there are a lot of good options for you. The most diversified funds will have exposure to the largest sectors of the US economy, and are generally linked to a broad market index (like the Dow Jones or S&P). For diversification, stick with the index funds, as they will incorporate a variety of company types. The most widely held index fund type is the S&P 500 index funds. These, however do not diversify down into mid and small caps. or international. One might want to ad these other indeces as well for a more diversified portfolio. bonds also need to be diversified - a total stock bond index fund is a good start there...look at VTSAX, VGTSX and VBMFX as a starting point-other companies have these type funds. If you wish to own individual stocks, over 1100 companies have Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRPs). These are companies that, at a minimum, allow you to reinvest your dividends in their stock at no fees. Many of these companies have Optional Cash Purchase Plans (OCPs) that allow you to purchase additional shares in the company at no fee. Usually, you must own at least 1 share in the company. After that you can register in the DRP and purchase shares with the dividends or through the OCP. See the link for more information on DRPs.

Paying a dividend costs the company and as such will decrease the value of the company and the stock. If all other factors are equal, a buyer would prefer a stock that is expected to pay the higher dividend. If Company A is expected to pay $10 per share annually and Company B $8, an investor who wants to make 8% would be willing to bid $125 for a share of Company A but only $100 for Company B. On the date that a dividend is effective, a company's stock will drop by the amount of the dividend because that amount will be paid to the person who owned the stock at the beginning of that day.

The FMCG Sector offers the most conservative or defensive options in the current market scenario. The consumption demand for FMCG products continues to be strong in both local and international markets.

This is the common and fast way to determine the value of a publicly traded company. It is simply calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the share price. Logically, this would find the value of the company, since the company would be worth as much as the shares would be worth. This definition works for stocks, and certain mutual funds.
