Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

2. Monthly Markets Update - India
October 2011
Key Points
Despite the volatility witnessed, we continue to remain positive on the US equities for the next
three years.
As for the Chinese economy, although inflation continues to be a threat, yet we are of the
opinion that the country will loosen its monetary stance in the second half of the year.
We believe that the Indian market will remain range bound on account of the negative short-
term macro parameters and the continuing gloomy atmosphere in the global environment.
On the Fixed Income side, we are expecting some more rate hikes in the current fiscal itself
before the central bank presses the pause button on rates.
The Indian mutual fund industry saw a decrease in its assets (average assets under
management) by 4.06% to Rs. 7, 17,129 crores in the third quarter (July – September) of 2011 in
comparison to the second quarter (April – June) of 2011.
A look at the performance of funds shows that all the Equity oriented categories have delivered
negative returns while the debt focused categories are in the positive territory in the month of
September.

economy, the Fed still expects 2.8% full year growth while our own forecast is 1.6% expansion for 2011.

continue to stick to our view that the Japanese economy will recover at a slower pace as compared to
other regions and countries.

Market Outlook
The earnings estimate for Singapore has been downgraded on account of the gloomy conditions
prevailing in the international markets. However, we still believe that Singapore equities will deliver
more than 20% annualized returns by the end of 2013. Inflation has come down for countries like
Malaysia and Indonesia and is expected to be on a downward trend on account of the easing of
commodity prices. However, inflation continues to remain sticky for Thailand, as a result of which the
Central Bank hiked the interest rate in the month of August as well which was 9 times since the
borrowing cost increased since June 2010.

Market Outlook
The economic activity in the Brazilian economy decelerated on account of the uncertainties in the global
economies. Inflation continued to remain above the government’s estimate of 4.5% (Plus/minus 2%). In
spite of this, the Central Bank cut its benchmark Selic rate by 50 bps to reach 12% on the back of
deterioration in the global economy. Brazil’s index has been affected by the global panic, European debt
crisis, slowdown in the US economy and the volatility in commodity prices. As for the Russian markets, it
was affected due to global panic and equity market sell-off along with the fears that the European
demand for oil will come down. Finally, for the Chinese economy, inflation continues to remain a threat
and control in credit growth continues. We are of the view that China will loosen its monetary stance in
the second half of the year due to the ongoing crisis in Euro Zone. We believe that currently valuations
are attractive and we are positive on both Chinese A shares and Hong-Kong listed Chinese equities over
the next 3 years.

RBI raised the Repo rate by 25 basis points on 16 September from 8% to 8.25%. In addition to
this, Reverse Repo rate was automatically adjusted to 7.25% and the marginal standing facility

The earnings growth for 2011-12 and 2012-2013 are 8.28% and 16.07% which translate to a
forward P/E of 13.97X and 12.03X respectively
Market Outlook
The Indian markets ended in red by registering a negative return of 1.34% and 1.15% respectively. Some
of the macro-economic numbers that came out during the month along with the uncertainties in the
global markets contributed to the muted growth. Year-on-year growth in the index of Industrial
Production for July 2011 came in at 3.3% against the Bloomberg consensus expectation of 6.2%. As per
the use-based classification, the Capital Goods and Intermediate Goods sectors contracted by 15.2% and
1.1% respectively, while Basic Goods grew at 10.1%. On the other hand, the Consumer Durables and
Consumer non-durables grew at 8.6% and 4.1% respectively. We believe that the volatile IIP numbers
are a cause of concern for the policymakers, and the deceleration in this month can be attributed to the
continuous rate hikes that RBI has been undertaking along with the slowdown in the global economy.
On the other hand, the WPI Inflation rose to 9.78% in August as against the Bloomberg estimate of
9.64%. Inflation has been in the range of 9%-10% since March 2010, and as a result, the RBI has
10. Monthly Markets Update - India
October 2011
increased the major policy rates 12 times since then. We are of the view that inflation continues to be a
nightmare for policymakers and until this data falls within the comfort zone of the Central Bank, it will
continue with its hawkish monetary stance.
The month of October is the results season and we are expecting more earning downgrades. We believe
that the market will remain range bound on account of the negative short-term macro parameters and
the continuing gloomy atmosphere in the global environment.

Yields
The 10-year G-Sec yield hardened during the month of September as it increased from 8.32% in the
beginning of the month and ended at 8.5% .This was on the back of the increase in the major policy
rates for the twelfth time since March 2010 in the Mid-Quarter Monetary Policy Review held on Sept 16.
RBI has made it very clear that the future course of action will depend upon inflationary tendencies and
global events. In short, we can expect some more rate hikes in the current fiscal itself before the central
bank presses the pause button on rates. In addition to this the Government also increased the
borrowings to Rs. 2.2 trillion in the second half of the year, which was much above the expectations.
Both these factors contributed to the increase in yields.
We continue to advise investors to stay in short-term papers like FMPs Short Term Funds and Ultra
Short Term Funds as they continue to give higher post-tax returns as compared to Savings Accounts and
Ultra Short-Term Funds. In this scenario, we advise:
Investors with a time horizon anywhere from 3 months to 24 months can lock-in their money in
FMPs (available with varying maturities) at the prevailing high rates
Investors with idle cash in the savings account should look at Ultra-Short Term Funds. The
Recommended Funds in this category includes DWS Ultra Short
Term Fund and Birla Sun-life Ultra short term Fund. The investment horizon that we suggest for
such instruments is 1 month-3 months.
