MONEY
MARKET
Money market instruments are those
instruments, which have a maturity period of less
than one year.
Geoffrey Crowther in his book” An outline of
Money” has stated “Money market is a collective
name given to the various firms and institutions
that deal with various grades of near money”.

Functions of money market
Thus a bond is like a loan: the issuer is the borrower (debtor), the holder is the lender
(creditor), and the coupon is the interest. Bonds provide the borrower with external funds
to finance long-term investments, or, in the case of government bonds, to finance current
expenditure.
Bonds and stocks are both, securities but the major difference between the two is that
(capital) stockholders have an equity stake in the company (i.e., they are owners),
whereas bondholders have a creditor stake in the company (i.e., they are lenders).
Another difference is that bonds usually have a defined term, or maturity, after which the
bond is redeemed, whereas stocks may be outstanding indefinitely. An exception is a
consol bond, which is a perpetuity (i.e., bond with no maturity).
Features of Bonds
Zero coupon bonds are bonds that do not pay interest during the life of the bonds.
Instead, investors buy zero coupon bonds at a deep discount from their face value,
which is the amount a bond will be worth when it "matures" or comes due. When a
zero coupon bond matures, the investor will receive one lump sum equal to the
initial investment plus the imputed interest, which is discussed below.
The maturity dates on zero coupon bonds are usually long-term. These long-term
maturity dates allow an investor to plan for a long-range goal, such as paying for a
child’s college education. With the deep discount, an investor can put up a small
amount of money that can grow over many years.
The price of a zero-coupon bond can be calculated by using the following formula:
How is the Zero Coupon Bond Effective Yield Formula Derived?
The formula for calculating the effective yield on a discount bond, or zero coupon
bond, can be found by rearranging the present value of a zero coupon bond
formula:
By subtracting 1 from the both sides, the result would be the formula
Risks of Investing in Bonds
Interest rate risk When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; conversely, when rates
decline, bond prices rise. The longer the time to a bond’s maturity, the greater its
interest rate risk.
Reinvestment risk When interest rates are declining, investors have to reinvest
their interest income and any return of principal, whether scheduled or unscheduled,
at lower prevailing rates.
Inflation risk Inflation causes tomorrow’s rupee to be worth less than today’s; in
other words, it reduces the purchasing power of a bond investor’s future interest
payments and principal, collectively known as “cash flows.” Inflation also leads to
higher interest rates, which in turn leads to lower bond prices.
Market risk The risk that the bond market as a whole would decline, bringing the
value of individual securities down with it regardless of their fundamental
characteristics.
Default risk The possibility that a bond issuer will be unable to make interest or
principal payments when they are due. If these payments are not made according to
the agreements in the bond documentation, the issuer can default
Call risk Some corporate, municipal and agency bonds have a “call provision” entitling
their issuers to redeem them at a specified price on a date prior to maturity. Declining
interest rates may accelerate the redemption of a callable bond, causing an investor’s
principal to be returned sooner than expected. In that scenario, investors have to
reinvest the principal at the lower interest rates.
If the bond is called at or close to par value, as is usually the case, investors who paid
a premium for their bond also risk a loss of principal. In reality, prices of callable bonds
are unlikely to move much above the call price if lower interest rates make the bond
likely to be called.
Liquidity risk The risk that investors may have difficulty finding a buyer when they
want to sell and may be forced to sell at a significant discount to market value.
they are due and therefore default.
Event risk The risk that a bond’s issuer undertakes a leveraged buyout, debt
restructuring, merger or recapitalization that increases its debt load, causing its bonds’
values to fall, or interferes with its ability to make timely payments of interest and
principal. Event risk can also occur due to natural or industrial accidents or regulatory
change. (This risk applies more to corporate bonds than municipal bonds.)
Credit Rating Agencies rate the debt instruments of companies. They do not rate
the companies, but their individual debt securities. Rating is an opinion regarding the
timely repayment of principal and interest thereon; It is expressed by assigning
symbols, which have definite meaning. A rating reflects default risk. Ratings are
not a guarantee against loss. They are simply opinions based on analysis of the risk
of default. They are helpful in making decisions based on particular preference of
risk and return. A company, desirous of rating its debt instrument, needs to approach
a credit rating agency and pay a fee for this service.
The determinants of ratings
The default-risk assessment and quality rating assigned to an issue are primarily
determined by three factors -
i)The issuer's ability to pay: Ratio analysis is used to analyse the present and future
earning power of the issuing corporation and to get insight into the strengths and
weaknesses of the firm.
ii)The strength of the security owner's claim on the issue: To assess the strength of
security owner's claim, the protective provisions in the indenture (legal instrument
specifying bond owners' rights), designed to ensure the
safety of bondholder's investment, are considered in detail.
iii)The economic significance of the industry and market place of the issuer: The
factors considered in regard to the economic significance and size of issuer includes:
nature of industry in which issuer is, operating (specifically issues like position in the
economy, life cycle of the industry, labour situation, supply factors, volatility etc.), and
the competition faced by the issuer (market share, technological leadership,
production efficiency, financial structure, etc.)
RATING METHODOLOGY
Key areas considered in a rating include the following:
i)Business Risk : To ascertain business risk, the rating agency considers
Industry's characteristics, performance and outlook, operating position (capacity,
market share, distribution system, marketing network, etc.), technological
aspects, business cycles, size and capital intensity.
ii) Financial Risk : To assess financial risk, the rating agency
takes into account various aspects of its Financial Management (e.g. capital
structure, liquidity position, financial flexibility and cash flow adequacy, profitability,
leverage, interest coverage), projections with particular emphasis on the components
of cash flow and claims thereon, accounting policies and practices with particular
reference to practices of providing depreciation, income recognition, inventory
valuation, off-balance sheet claims and liabilities, amortization of intangible assets,
foreign currency transactions, etc.
iii)Management Evaluation : Management evaluation includes consideration of
the background and history of the issuer, corporate strategy and philosophy,
organizational structure, quality of management and management capabilities under
stress, personnel policies etc.
iv)Business Environmental Analysis : This includes regulatory environment,
operating environment, national economic outlook, areas of special significance to
the company, pending litigation, tax status, possibility of default risk under a variety
of scenarios.
CREDIT RATING AGENCIES IN INDIA
CRISIL : This was set-up by ICICI and UTI in 1988, and rates debt instruments.
Nearly half of its ratings on the instruments are being used.
CRISIL evaluation is carried out by professionally qualified persons and
includes data collection, analysis and meeting with key personnel in the company to
discuss strategies, plans and other issues that may effect ,evaluation of the
company. The rating ,process ensures confidentiality. , Once the company decides
to use rating, CRISIL is obligated to monitor the rating over the life of the debt
instrument.

ICRA : ICRA was promoted by IFCI in 1991. The factors that ICRA takes into
consideration for rating depend on the nature of borrowing entity. The inherent
protective factors, marketing strategies, competitive edge, competence and
effectiveness of management, human resource development policies and practices,
hedging of risks, trends in cash flows and potential liquidity, financial flexibility,
asset quality and past record of servicing of debt as well as government policies
affecting the industry are examined.

IDBI jointly with investment institutions, banks and finance companies. The company
commenced its operations in October 1993.In January 1994, CARE commenced
publication of CAREVIEW, a quarterly journal of CARE ratings. In addition to the
rationale of all accepted ratings, CAREVIEW often carries special features of interest
to issuers of debt instruments, investors and other market players.

Internationally acclaimed credit rating agencies such as Moody's, Standard and
Poor's , Duff and Fitch have been offering rating services to bond issuers over a
very long time. The bond issuers pay the rating agency to evaluate the quality of the
bond issue in order to increase the information flow to investors and hopefully
increase the demand for their bonds. The rating agency determines the appropriate
bond rating by assessing various factors.
Relation between the coupan rate, Price of the bond and the yield
•If coupan rate > Yield, the security is worth more than its face value—It sells at
premium
•If coupan rate < Yield, the security is worth less than its face value—It sells at
discount
•If coupan rate = Yield, the security is valued at face value.
Bonds Yields
The yield of a bond is, the return on bond.The yield is expressed as an annual
percentage of the face value. However, yield is a little more complicated than the
coupan rate. There are several different measures of yield:
Nominal yield: It is equal to coupon rate; that is the return on the bond without
accounting for any outside factors. If you purchase a bond at par value and hold to
maturity, this will be the annual return you receive on the bond.
Current yeild: It is a measure of the return on the bond in relation to the current
price.
Yield to call: The rate of return that an investor would earn if he bought a callable
bond at its current market and held it until the call date given that th bond was called
on the call date.
Yield to Maturity
To
Maturi
The rate of return that an investor would earn if he bought the bond at its current
market price and held it until maturity, is called as YTM Alternatively,it represents the
discount rate which equates the discounted ty value of a bonds’s future cash flows to its
current market price. YTM is the overall return on the bond if it is held to maturity. It
reflects all the interest payment that are available through maturity and the principal
that will be repaid,and assumes that all coupan payments will be reinvested at the
current yield on the bond. This is the most valuable measure of yield because it
reflects the total income that you can receive.
The term duration is a measurement of how long in years it takes for the price of a
bond to be repaid by its internal cash flows. Since a zero coupon bond doesn’t pay
any intermediate cash flows and the entire money is available only on maturity,
duration of a zero coupon bond is equal to maturity period. On the same lines since
coupon bonds, pays coupons, we get our price much earlier to maturity period.
Therefore, duration of a coupon bond will always be less than maturity period.
Macaulay Duration
The formula usually used to calculate a bond's basic duration is the Macaulay
duration, which was created by Frederick Macaulay in 1938, although it was not
commonly used until the 1970s. Macaulay duration is calculated by adding the
results of multiplying the present value of each cash flow by the time it is received
and dividing by the total price of the security. The formula for Macaulay duration is as
follows:
OR
Duration Application: Calculating bond value change
Duration measures interest rate risk , i.e., changes in present value of securities
when interest rates change. Knowing duration we can calculate the price sensitivity
as follows:
If yield rates rose from 10% to 10.5%, a 0.5% increase in rates, Macaulay’s formula
would predict a percent change in value as:
Percent change in bond value = DM * numerical change in stated yield.4
= – 2.6439 * (+ 0.5)
= – 1.3220%
The price change calculated by MDuration would be $898.49 * –1.322% = –$11.88
The new bond price would be approximately $898.49 – $11.88 = $886.61. We can
confirm the percent change and new price by entering these data into a
spreadsheet: The change takes place in the PV Factor as a result of the change in
market yield.
Bond Convexity: Convexity measures the rate of change in modified duration as
yield change. Convexity refers to the shape of the price-yield relationship and can be
used to refine the modified duration approximation of the sensitivity of prices to
interest rate changes. Bond Convexity is defined formally as the degree to which
the duration changes when the yield to maturity changes. It can be used to
account for the inaccuracies of the Modified Duration approximation. On top of that, if
we assume two bonds will provide the same duration and yield then the bond with
the greater convexity will be less affected by interest rate change.
Application of Convexity
The convexity improves the duration approximation for bond price changes. In other
words, knowing convexity, we can find a better approximations of bond price change
for every change in yield, than what we can find using duration. It is a measure of the
relationship between bond prices and bond yields that demonstrates how the duration
of a bond changes as the interest rate changes. Convexity is used as a risk-
management tool, and helps to measure and manage the amount of market risk to
which a portfolio of bonds is exposed.

NON – MARKETABLE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Financial Instruments which are not transferable are
known as non – marketable Financial assets. The
investors can invest in these financial assets but they
cannot sale these financial instruments in the capital
market like shares and debentures. These investments
include the following:
•Post Office Savings Schemes.
•Deposits with Banks.
•Public Provident Fund.
1. Post office Savings Schemes
Post office operates as a financial institution. It collects
small savings of the people through savings bank
account facility. In addition time deposits and
government loans are also collected through post
offices. Certain government securities such as Kisan
Vikas Patras, National Saving certificates, etc. are sold
through post offices. New schemes are regularly
introduced by the postal Department in order to collect
savings of the people. This includes recurring deposits,
monthly income schemes, PPF, and so on
Post Office Saving Schemes includes the following:
