Gympie Business Confidence Survey launch by Suncorp Bank Aug 2012Anne Lawrence
Presentation given by Daryl Conroy, Financial Analyst with Suncorp Bank at the launch of the Gympie Business Confidence Survey breakfast meeting hosted by the Gympie Chamber of Commerce.
The European leveraged finance market showed signs of recovery in October after a dismal September. Leveraged loan and high yield bond prices gained, and new issue volumes increased from the previous month. However, loan and bond prices remained below earlier 2011 levels. While loan defaults edged higher, the loan overhang continued to diminish slightly. Overall, sovereign debt concerns persisted and investors largely remained on the sidelines, keeping the high yield bond market closed out. Arrangers also continued to feel the effects of deals left unsold in prior months.
Note: Slide 11 offers the full video analysis of this presentation, with narration.
The European leveraged finance market spent a traditionally sleepy August building a record forward calendar for September, and beyond. Returns were positive during the month, again. This video analysis details loan and HY bond activity, including returns, prices, volume, default rates, as well as trends for the months ahead.

Europlan (MOEX: EPLN): additional issue of sharesЕвроплан
PJSC Europlan is undergoing an additional share issue to establish a public financial holding. The holding will include Europlan's investments in a pension fund, leasing, and insurance businesses. Europlan shares will be issued in exchange for shares in the pension fund SAFMAR and up to 49% of shares in the insurance company VSK. This will result in a financial holding valued at over RUB 60 billion based on Europlan's chairman. The share issue is expected to be completed in December 2016.
1) Interest rates in Thailand are determined by the Bank of Thailand, which uses the 1-Day Repurchase Rate (1-Day Repo Rate) as a policy tool. The 1-Day Repo Rate was recently increased from 1.18% to 1.25% due to high demand for funds.
2) Two charts show the relationship between the 1-Day Repo Rate and the SET Index from 2003 to 2009. During this period, the 1-Day Repo Rate and SET Index generally moved in opposite directions. When the 1-Day Repo Rate increased, the SET Index tended to decrease, and vice versa.
The loan market was subdued in August, owing to summer break for both investors and bankers. Inflows in high-yield funds were up. Secondary markets were up for both loans and high yield, default rates also rose.

The document discusses the global foreign exchange and capital markets. It provides information on how the foreign exchange market works, why companies deal in foreign exchange, and the major institutions involved. The key points are:
- The foreign exchange market facilitates the trade of national currencies and sees over $1.2 trillion traded daily.
- Companies deal in foreign exchange to convert currencies for international trade payments, hedge currency risk, and speculate on future exchange rates.
- Major banks like Deutsche Bank, UBS, and Citigroup dominate the over-the-counter foreign exchange market.
- The U.S. dollar is the most actively traded currency due to its stability and role in international trade and finance.
- UBS is a global wealth management firm with over 140 years of experience serving clients in Europe and the US.
- The global markets have experienced significant turmoil over the past year, with the S&P down 40% and investors fleeing to cash positions.
- While periods of negative returns are common over the short-term, stocks have historically outperformed bonds and cash over long time periods of 10 years or more.

This is a presentation delivered in November 2010 as keynote in Spain. For more information, go to: http://thefinanser.co.uk/fsclub/2010/11/do-bankers-really-want-to-be-plumbers.html
- UBS is a global wealth manager and bank focused on serving individual clients, with over 140 years of history in Europe and the US.
- The global markets have experienced significant turmoil over the past year, with stock markets down over 40% and unprecedented levels of consumer debt in the US raising concerns.
- However, stocks have historically provided the highest returns over the long-term and negative returns over periods of 5-10 years are rare, so investors are advised to maintain a diversified portfolio and stay invested for the long run despite current volatility.
Global foreign exchange and capital marketsRajesh Patel
The document discusses foreign exchange and capital markets. It explains that the foreign exchange market allows for the trading of global currencies, with over $1.2 trillion traded daily. Major institutions like banks deal in currency exchange to facilitate international trade and investment. The U.S. dollar is the most widely traded currency due to its stability and use in global transactions. London has the largest foreign exchange market due to its strategic location between Asia and the Americas.
The document provides a workshop on legacy marketing by Dylan Carroll of Barnardo's. It discusses why legacies are important, bringing in over £2 billion annually to charities. It notes that while 75% of UK adults support charity, only 15% leave charitable bequests in their wills. The workshop covers 10 key points for an effective legacy marketing strategy: 1) Small legacies can have large impacts, 2) Clearly communicating your organization's mission or "proposition", 3) Leveraging current donors and supporters, 4) Using various promotional channels, 5) Fostering an organizational culture that encourages legacies, 6) Listening to current donors, 7) Demonstrating the impact of past legacies, 8)
This document discusses an interest rate range of 6.25% to 7.25% for a variable rate loan, where the rate is based on the Prime Rate plus an additional 2.75% to 3.75%. The document is from SmartBiz Loans and provides contact information for Joseph Lopez to discuss the loan further.

This graph shows the quarterly year-over-year GDP growth rate of the Eurozone from 2007 to 2017. It reveals that the Eurozone experienced strong growth until late 2008, when the global financial crisis caused a steep recession. Growth remained weak for several years but has picked up since 2013, with the economy expanding around 2% annually in recent years.

The document summarizes the ongoing financial crisis in 3 parts. It first describes the two sides fighting over money as Wall Street and the government. It then explains how the crisis began due to "easy money" leading to a new virus of greed and bankruptcies. Finally, it advises being conservative and watching the market closely as the crisis implications continue unfolding.
Venture capital performance outpaced public markets across most time horizons in the fourth quarter of 2007. The one-year private equity performance index showed an 8.9 point decrease to 19.5% while five year performance increased from 7.0% to 8.5%. Economic troubles in 2008 could impact short term venture capital returns if the IPO market remains slow, but longer term returns would need over a year of poor exit opportunities to suffer. Venture returns across all horizons, except five years, outperformed the NASDAQ and S&P 500 through the end of 2007.
Gold has historically provided strong returns over the long term and acts as a hedge against inflation. It has outperformed inflation in India 8 out of the last 10 years. Indian households have a large appetite for gold, holding the largest stock of gold in the world. Investing in gold through vehicles like gold ETFs and gold funds provides investors with a convenient and cost-effective way to gain exposure to gold without having to directly purchase and store physical gold. The IDBI Gold Fund seeks to generate returns by investing in the IDBI Gold ETF, allowing investors to invest in gold at a low cost with fractional ownership and no requirement for a demat account.
An Exploration of Alternatives Going for GoldGoldMoney
This document provides an overview of gold versus paper money and exchange-traded funds. It discusses that gold has retained its purchasing power over time, has a restricted supply, and protects against monetary debasement, while paper money loses value over time and backing of paper money has no limits. Gold pays no interest due to Gresham's Law, while paper money pays inadequate interest to compensate for debasement. The document also compares gold to exchange-traded funds, noting gold has no exposure to financial markets and no arbitrage risk.
It has been Greek tragedy for the European leveraged finance market over the past few months, with all eyes on staggering sovereigns. Consequently, investors and arrangers alike are sitting on the sidelines.

Louis Boulanger- Gold rises against fiat abuse 111114Symposium
Louis Boulanger presented at The Gold Symposium 2011 on the abuse of fiat currencies and how gold ownership offers protection. He summarized that all currencies are being debased to zero potentially, and that gold provides protection from ongoing fiat currency insanity and delusion until the end of the unsound monetary system. He argued that without currencies being redeemable for gold, today's monetary system relies entirely on confidence in governments and their ability to repay debt, which is not guaranteed and the system could collapse.

Economic Risk Factor Update: June 2024 [SlideShare]Commonwealth
May’s reports showed signs of continued economic growth, said Sam Millette, director, fixed income, in his latest Economic Risk Factor Update.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

1966: “In the absence of the Gold Standard, there is no way to protect savings from
confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value... deficit spending is simply
a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious
process.”
2009: “The rise in gold and silver is strictly a monetary phenomenon and is an indication
of the very early stage of an endeavour to move away from paper currencies’.”
