MONEY VS. CAPITAL MARKETS
FUNCTION OF TIME TO MATURITY – 1 YEAR OR LESS, MONEY MARKET
Lower risk, (not zero risk), Normally higher initial investments
Includes Treasury bills, commercial paper, many derivatives, Eurodollars, Repos & Reverse Repos
MORE THAN 1 YEAR – CAPITAL MARKET
Higher risk, includes stocks, bonds, some derivatives

PRIMARY VS. SECONDARY MARKETS
Primary Market – First time a security is traded, issuer receives proceeds
Investment banker is the intermediary.
Includes Seasoned Offerings & IPO’s
Secondary Market – Investor to investor transfers, issuer no longer involved in the process.

“Real” Versus “Nominal” Rates
k* = Real risk-free rate. T-bond rate if no inflation; 1% to 4%.
= Any nominal rate.
= Rate on Treasury securities.

krf= k* + IP
Here:
krf = rate of return on the risk-

k* = real risk-free rate.
IP = inflation premium.
5 - 10
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
k = k* + IP + DRP + LP + MRP + ISP
Here:
k = required rate of return on a debt security.
k* = real risk-free rate.
IP = inflation premium.
DRP = default risk premium.
LP = liquidity premium.
MRP = maturity risk premium.
ISP = issue specific premium

Premiums Added to k* for Different Types of Debt
S-T Treasury: only IP for S-T inflation
L-T Treasury: IP for L-T inflation, MRP
S-T corporate: S-T IP, DRP, LP, ISP
L-T corporate: IP, DRP, MRP, LP, ISP

What is the “term structure of interest rates”? What is a “yield curve”?
Term structure: the relationship between interest rates (or yields) and maturities.
A graph of the term structure is called the yield curve.

Yield Curve Construction
Step 1:Find the average expected
inflation rate over Years 1 to n:

Suppose, that inflation is expected to be 5% next year, 6% the following year, and 8% thereafter.
IP1 = 5%/1.0 = 5.00%.
IP10 = [5 + 6 + 8(8)]/10 = 7.50%.
IP20 = [5 + 6 + 8(18)]/20 = 7.75%.
Must earn these IPs to break even vs. inflation; these IPs would permit you to earn k* (before taxes).

Step 2: Find MRP Based on Returns of Similar Risk Securities with
Different Maturities
MRP10 = 4.9-1.7=3.2%
4.9% = Return on 10 year
Treasuries
1.7% = Return on 3 month T-Bills

What factors can explain the shape of this yield curve?
This constructed yield curve is upward sloping.
This is due to increasing expected inflation and an increasing maturity risk premium.

What kind of relationship exists between the Treasury yield curve and the yield curves for corporate issues?
Corporate yield curves are higher than that of the Treasury bond. However, corporate yield curves are not neces-sarily parallel to the Treasury curve.
The spread between a corporate yield curve and the Treasury curve widens as the corporate bond rating decreases.

How does the volume of corporate bond issues compare to that of
Treasury securities?
Recently, the volume of investment grade corporate bond issues has overtaken Treasury issues.

The Pure Expectations Hypothesis (PEH)
Shape of the yield curve depends on investors’ expectations about future interest rates.
If interest rates are expected to increase, L-T rates will be higher than S-T rates and vice versa. Thus, the yield curve can slope up or down.
5 - 23
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
PEH assumes that MRP = 0.
Long-term rates are an average of current and future short-term rates.
If PEH is correct, you can use the yield curve to “back out” expected future interest rates.

If PEH holds, what does the market expect will be the interest rate on one-year securities, one year from now? Three-year securities, two years from now?

PEH tells us that three-year securities will yield 6.7%, two years from now (x%).

20.1% = 3(x%)
6.7% = x%.

Some argue that the PEH isn’t correct, because securities of different maturities have different risk.
Liquidity Preference Theory: General view (supported by most evidence) is that lenders prefer S-T securities, and view L-T securities as riskier.
Thus, investors demand a MRP to get them to hold L-T securities (i.e., MRP > 0).
Other Theories on Term Structure
5 - 28
Copyright © 2002 by Harcourt, Inc. All rights reserved.
Liquidity preference only explains an upward sloping yield curve
Market Segmentation: Each maturity of securities has its own market, I.e., short term, long term, intermediate term. Supply and demand will determine within each market what interest rates are, not rate or inflation expectations or a maturity risk premium.

What various types of risks arise when investing overseas?
Exchange rate risk: If investment is denominated in a currency other than the dollar, the investment’s value will depend on what happens to exchange rate.
Country risk: Arises from investing or doing business in a particular country. It depends on the country’s economic, political, and social environment.

Two Factors Lead to Exchange Rate Fluctuations
1. Changes in relative inflation will lead to changes in exchange rates.
2. An increase in country risk will also cause that country’s currency to fall.
