It provides examples of how notes would convert under different valuation scenarios. While convertible notes provide flexibility, the document notes that investors ultimately want equity and alternatives like SAFEs were created that act more like stock.
COLLABORATE 18 Presentation: Manage Cash Management, Treasury & Payments Glob...
SESSION ABSTRACT: Companies are moving to global presence and there are many ways in which they are hoping to manage in an efficient manner, and this creates problems because - processes need to change - and systems need to follow to support these process changes. The tools available today may not entirely support all that is needed - but what is available and what can be done ? This is what you will get from this session and open a conversation on how other people resolve these challenges.
Chapter 01
The document discusses different forms of business organization including proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. It notes advantages and disadvantages of each. Corporations have unlimited life, easy transfer of ownership, and limited liability but are double taxed. The primary goal of corporations is shareholder wealth maximization through stock price appreciation. Stock prices are influenced by projected cash flows, timing, and risk. Managers do not always act in shareholders' best interests so compensation plans, shareholder intervention, firing threats, and takeovers aim to align goals.
Unit 3
The document discusses cash management, receivables management, and inventory management. It outlines the objectives, strategies, and factors to consider for cash management including holding cash, cash budgeting, and cash flow. It also discusses credit policies, credit analysis, credit terms, and collection policies for receivables management. Finally, it mentions the objectives and costs/benefits considerations for inventory management.
Improving Cash Flow
This document discusses various ways that businesses can improve their cash flow to avoid or address cash flow problems. It identifies key causes of cash flow issues such as low profits, too much inventory, allowing too much customer credit, and overtrading. It then provides recommendations for improving cash flow through better cash flow forecasting, managing accounts receivable and payable more effectively, using different sources of financing, and reducing inventory levels.
Mutual Fund Taxation – How Mutual Funds Are Taxed
Divadhvik explains Mutual Fund Taxation clearly: Equity funds held over a year are taxed at 10% for gains over ₹1 lakh, while short-term gains are taxed at 15%. Debt funds held over three years are taxed at 20% post-indexation. Short-term gains are taxed as per your income slab.
Corporate class explained
Corporate class mutual funds provide tax benefits compared to traditional mutual funds. Investments within a corporate class structure are treated as a single entity for tax purposes, allowing investors to rebalance portfolios without immediate tax consequences. Distributions from corporate class funds are more tax-efficient, consisting primarily of capital gains and Canadian dividends taxed at a lower rate than regular income. This tax treatment leaves more money growing in the investor's account compared to traditional mutual funds. Corporate class is suitable for individual investors with non-registered funds who seek tax-efficient rebalancing and cash flow in retirement.

Funding your energy saving projects
The document discusses how payment over time (leasing) can allow customers to implement energy projects more quickly and efficiently by enjoying the benefits of the investment immediately rather than having to wait years to break even. Leasing provides tax advantages where customers can receive 100% tax allowances on payments, and it allows customers to spread costs over monthly payments while retaining liquidity. The benefits of leasing include faster returns, positive cash flow, tax savings, preserving credit lines, flexibility to take on additional projects, and lower approval levels for decisions.
Retaining Wealth in a Rising Tax Environment
Tax rates are expected to rise in 2011 as Bush-era tax cuts expire. This will negatively impact high-income taxpayers through higher income, capital gains, and dividend tax rates. The document discusses three strategies for improving tax efficiency despite rising rates: 1) minimizing short-term capital gains distributions through manager incentives and technology; 2) investing in dividend-paying stocks for qualified dividends taxed at a lower rate; and 3) municipal bonds which provide tax-exempt income but require credit research expertise. It emphasizes the benefits of tax-efficient strategies, especially for accumulation and distribution phases of investing.
Corporate Class Funds
1) The document discusses Quadrus corporate class funds, which offer a collection of multi-manager and single-manager funds from leading investment managers.
2) Each multi-manager equity fund is designed to minimize risk through rigorous selection criteria and extensive portfolio testing to ensure minimal volatility for the expected return.
3) The single-manager funds complement the other corporate class funds by providing a unique, tax-efficient portfolio that is diversified across investment styles, asset classes, and geographic regions.

It establishes a principle that revenue should be recognized when control of goods or services transfers to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled.
Measuring And Controlling Assets employed
This document discusses methods for measuring and controlling assets employed in business units. It describes two main methods - return on investment (ROI) and economic value added (EVA). ROI is a ratio that compares income to assets employed, while EVA is a dollar amount that subtracts a capital charge from net operating profit. The document explores how different types of assets like cash, receivables, inventories, property/equipment should be treated in the calculation. It also addresses topics like how to treat leased assets, idle assets, intangible assets, and noncurrent liabilities.

The document provides financial advice for high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) to avoid certain transactions that may increase their tax burden or result in negative cash flow. Specifically, it recommends avoiding mutual funds held for less than one year, stock and commodity trading as an amateur, car or personal loans unless as a consultant, and fixed deposits except for retired senior citizens, as the interests from these can increase taxes and some provide low returns or depreciating assets.
Supercharge your Investments with Tax-Loss Harvesting
Tax-loss harvesting, or "tax selling," is a technique used to lower your taxes while maintaining the expected risk and return profile of your portfolio. It harvests previously unrecognized investment losses to offset taxes due on your other gains and income. You can reinvest these tax savings to significantly grow the value of your portfolio.
Wealthfront has two different strategies available for Tax-Loss Harvesting on client portfolios:
1. Daily Tax-Loss Harvesting
2. The Tax-Optimized US Index Portfolio
Both of Wealthfront’s Tax-Loss Harvesting strategies run every day, selling underperforming assets and replacing them with similar but not identical ones as opportunities arise.

Strategies to Minimize Taxes
- 1. Strategies to Minimize Taxes Keeping More of Your Investment Return You may have heard a common investment expression “It’s not what you make that counts. It’s what you keep.” Minimizing taxes from investment activities is important because it is one of the few aspects of investing that an investor can gain significant control over. Paying attention to the tax consequences of investing can substantially increase long-term wealth and increase spendable income. This is a brief summary of techniques employed by Summit. Equities Placement: Stocks should be held (owned) to the extent possible in taxable accounts. Conversely fixed income (bonds) should be held in a tax deferred account when possible. Fund Placement: Less tax efficient funds are placed in tax deferred accounts. Tax Loss Harvesting: Paper losses that exceed 10% are generally claimed to minimize current and future taxes. Account Coordination: All accounts are coordinated to minimize taxes and trading costs. Fees: Management fees are usually billed from taxable accounts to qualify for the potential tax deduction. Tax-Sensitive Accounting: High cost tax lot accounting is employed to minimize tax costs when assets are sold with a gain. Tax-Managed Mutual Funds: While most index funds are relatively tax efficient, Summit employs specialized institutional funds that are specifically designed to further control and minimize tax. Variable Annuities: The tax deferral feature of VAs is a limited benefit compared to tax-efficient index funds which typically retain 95% or more of their total return after taxes. The high expenses associated with VAs more than offset the modest tax savings compared to index funds. 800 683.5800 Summit Portfolio Management ©2009
