  • Equities
    • Ordinary
      • Common
        • Every company has these
      • Some are voting shares, some aren't (A or B, perhaps)
        • Normally no dividend, unless very profitable
          • Dividend will rise when profits are large. Preferred dividend is fixed
      • Alphabet has three types: Class A with ONE vote, Class B with TEN votes, Class C has NO votes
      • Can issue REDEMABLE shares, but only if normal ones are issued too
    • Preference
      • Preferred
        • Some companies also issue these
      • Pay a fixed dividend and non-voting. Can vote if dividend isn't paid
      • Hybrid securities bc they resemble fixed income (dividend payment)
      • Types
        • Cumulative paid dividend before ordinary holders. AND given unpaid dividends before
          • Participating: Can participate in higher dividend distributions
            • Redeemable: Company can buy back at set cost in the future
              • Convertible: Swap Preference for Ordinary
  • Debt
    • Yields
      • Yield to Maturity / Gross Redemption Yield. Flat yield less capital gain/loss
      • Net Redemption Yield
    • Modified Duration
      • Approx % change in the price of a bond brought about by a 1% change in interest rates
      • MD x Bond Price. IR + 1% - so MD of 0.0102 - Bond Price of 95.84 = Price falls 1.00
        • IR +0.5% - MD of 0.0102 - Price of 98.54 = 0.50
    • Convertibles trade at a premium.
      • Bond Price 110, option to convert 15 shares @ 6.40. 15 x 6.40 = 96. 110 / 96 = 14.58% premium.
        • Conversion ratio - par / conversion price of the shares. 100 / $4.22 = 23.69 shares
    • Coupon x (days since last payment / Days between payments) = Accrued Interest
      • Actual/Actual (ACT) 360 days. 30/360. ACT/365 normal with no leap years. ACTACT1 includes leap years. ACTACT2 year length is the number of days in the coupon period times number of coupons in year.
    • Spreads are benchmarked against Government bonds and swap rates (exchanging floating rates for fixed rates)
    • Yield curve inverts when the market anticipates interest rates will rise
      • TIPS - US Treasury Inflation Protected Securities
      • Discount rate or present value  is the interest rate foregone. I.e. 100 today at 5% interest rate is is 100/1.05 = 95.23
        • 1/(1+x)^x
