securities transactions. The most important securities
are Bonds and Shares.
Shares:

CAPITAL MARKETS(2/15)
To participate in the general meetings of the company (although
it may be imposed a minimum number of shares to attend) where
they approve the accounts,
decide to distribute dividends, elect corporate bodies and make other
important decisions.
From the point of view of a financial investment, the shares can
offer:
The dividends that are distributed
A capital gain (or loss) through the sale of the share for a price higher
(or lower) than the buying price
The evolution of the share price is mainly influenced by the economic-
financial evolution of the company and its prospects for the future. 3

Bonds
It is a debt security
The issuer, when issues a bond, contracts a loan from whom
buys the bond, at the face value of the bond, with a
particular maturity and paying a certain interest rate.
Comparing with a bank loan, the bond issue may have a lower cost, since the intermediation process is minimized. This justifies the great development of this instrument worldwide and is illustrated in the following example

Bonds (cont.)
Example: bank loan vs. bond loan
Classic operation of credit
Savers Financial Company
(Funds available to invest) Institution (Needing funds)
Who has funds in excess puts them in a FI (eg making a term deposit) and the
FI lends those funds to a company that needs them. The difference between the
interest rate received through the loan and the interest rate paid on the deposit is
a profit margin for the FI. The margin will be higher when the company risk is
higher, in order to compensate for this risk. In fact, even if the company does
not repay the loan to the bank, the latest is still responsible for paying the deposit
whenever the saver wants it back. 5

Bonds (cont.) Bond operation
Savers Company
(funds available to invest) (needing funds)
Financial Institution
In this case, the saver buys the bonds directly to the issuer. This
means that he and the other savers that buy the whole issue are the
ones that carry out the credit risk of the company not repaying the
loan and not the FI. The FI in this case is just a service provider and
not a true agent. The services the FI provides in this case
are essentially the following: Placement of the operation ( by identifying investors interested in
purchasing the bonds and providing them information about the issue);6

Bonds (cont.)
These services usually represent a lower cost than the
intermediation margin that the FI charges for the traditional lending
business.
Imagine that in its traditional business the FI pays 4% on the deposit and charges an interest rate of 7% for the loan (a 3% margin). Now consider that in the case of issuing bonds the cost for the services provided, charged by the FI to the issuer, represent 1% per year. The company could issue the bond loan at a rate of 5% (giving the investor an additional 1% more than what he gets on the bank deposit) and the cost to it would be 6% (5% +1% for the services provided by the FI): 1% less comparing to the rate charged by the FI loan.

CAPITAL MARKET(7/15)
When buying bonds, instead of depositing in the bank, the
investor gets into a different position of risk taking. It takes
the credit risk of the company, on the bond case, and the
bankruptcy risk of the FI on the deposit case. The existence of
RATINGS helps investors in their decision making process.
For investors the bonds have also other important advantage.
As they are securities, they may be listed and therefore can be
sold before the maturity, in case an investor needs his capital
back or wants to make capital gains when the price of the bond
has increased. Thus, other investors may buy these listed bonds,
so they don’t need to be waiting for new issues.8

Bonds (cont.) Bonds Rating
The rating of a bond is a note or grade that is given based on the
likelihood of the issuer to default, that is, to not be able to pay
the interest and repay the capital. Thus, a higher note reflects an
almost certainty that the issuer will meet his obligations, and the
minimum note means the inverse.
The rating allows investors that barely know the issuer to
identify the risk level of its investment and select the risk
profile that is more adequate to their investment objectives.9

Bonds Rating (cont.)
Naturally, when the rating is lower the interest rate offered by
the corresponding bonds has to be higher (to compensate for the
higher level of credit risk, otherwise the investors
would only invest in high rated bonds).
The three most well known rating companies are
Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch.

CAPITAL MARKETS(11/15)
The main stock exchange on which the Portuguese shares are listed is the Portuguese NYSE EURONEXT -Lisbon stock exchange that resulted from the merger of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Euronext (which joined Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon) and also LIFFE, the leading derivatives exchange in Europe
Stock Market Index
It is a very useful instrument to evaluate the price evolution or
return of a Bond or Stock Market as a whole. Its computation
uses the price of the most representative securities of a
specific market (in terms of market value and turnover).
Generally its name is associated with a number; that number
indicates the number of shares that compose the index. 12

Example The Portuguese Stock Index (PSI – 20) had the value of 13,019.40 on 31.12.07 and on 31.12.08 was 6,341.34. Thus, in 2008 the portuguese stock index devalued:
There were, of course, shares that performed better and others that performed worse than the computed devaluation. But the market index seeks to portray the global evolution.
Examples of other Stock index:
S&P500 (EUA); DJIA (EUA); NASDAQ100; CAC40 (France); IBEX35
(Spain); DAX30 (Germany); FTSE100 (United Kingdom); Nikkei
225 (Japan).

Special operations in Stock exchange
Public Tender Offer (PTO) / takeover bid
A PTO is when an investor intends to acquire all or a significant
percentage of shares of a listed company. To ensure equal
treatment for all shareholders of that company, it is mandatory
that the investor announces his intention publicly and he cannot
negotiate the purchase direct and privately with only some or
more relevant shareholders.

Special operations in Stock exchange (cont.)
Initial Public Offering (IPO)
To have its stocks listed in a stock exchange, a company has to
fulfill certain requirements. One is to have a minimum
percentage of free-float (the proportion of shares of a company
that are held by investors that are likely to be willing to trade
them in the market. These shares are available to be traded by
the investing public – small shareholders of the company). To
achieve that objective the company can
make an IPO, through which, and once again opened to the
public, the company's initial shareholders sell part of their shares
to other (smaller) investors.
