Philippines Financial System

 Financial System

Diversified financial activities performed by different economic units whose activities are so
closely related to one another and which take into account the use of money, credit, and
the various instruments associated with money.

 Financial

Reference to money matters

Economic Units
 Financial Institutions: Banks & Non-banks
 Business Organizations
 Individuals

Non-Bank Financial Institutions

A non-bank financial institution (NBFI) is a financial institution that does not have a full banking
license and cannot accept deposits from the public.

 Risk Pooling Institutions

Insurance companies underwrite economic risks associated with death, illness, damage to or loss of
property, and other risk of loss. They provide a contingent promise of economic protection in the case of
loss. There are two main types of insurance companies: life insurance and general insurance. General
insurance tends to be short-term, while life insurance is a longer contract, ending at the death of the
insured. Both types of insurance, life and property, are available to all sectors of the community. Because
of the nature of the insurance industry (companies must access a plethora of information to assess the risk
in each individual case), insurance companies enjoy a high level of information efficiency.

• Contractual Savings Institutions

Contractual savings institutions (also called institutional investors) provide the opportunity for
individuals to invest in collective investment vehicles in a fiduciary rather than a principle role. Collective
investment vehicles invest the pooled resources of the individuals and firms in to numerous equities, debt,
and derivatives promises. The individual, however, holds equity in the CIV itself rather what the CIV invests
in specifically. The two most popular examples of contractual savings institutions are mutual funds and
private pension plans.
• Other Non-bank Financial Institutions

Market makers are broker-dealer institutions that quote both a buy and sell price for an asset held in
inventory. Such assets include equities, government and corporate debt, derivatives, and foreign
currencies. Once an order is received, the market maker immediately sells from its inventory or makes a
purchase to offset the loss in inventory. The difference in the buying and selling quotes, or the bid-offer
spread, is how the market-maker makes profit. Market makers improve the liquidity of any asset in their
inventory.

right issue is compulsory for existing company.

manager coordinates the activities through various intermediaries connected with the
issue.

Types of Financial Institutions

 Commercial Banks
A commercial bank is a type of financial institution that accepts deposits, offers checking account
services, makes business, personal, and mortgage loans, and offers basic financial products like
certificates of deposit (CDs) and savings accounts to individuals and small businesses. A commercial
bank is where most people do their banking, as opposed to an investment bank.

 Investment Banks
Investment banks specialize in providing services designed to facilitate business operations, such as
capital expenditure financing and equity offerings, including initial public offerings (IPOs). They also
commonly offer brokerage services for investors, act as market makers for trading exchanges, and
manage mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate restructurings.

 Insurance Companies
Among the most familiar non-bank financial institutions are insurance companies. Providing
insurance, whether for individuals or corporations, is one of the oldest financial services. Protection
of assets and protection against financial risk, secured through insurance products, is an essential
service that facilitates individual and corporate investments that fuel economic growth.

 Brokerage Firms
Investment companies and brokerages, such as mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF)
provider Fidelity Investments, specialize in providing investment services that include wealth
management and financial advisory services. They also provide access to investment products that
may range from stocks and bonds all the way to lesser-known alternative investments, such as
hedge funds and private equity investments.

A nonbank financial institution (NBFI) is a financial institution that does not have a full banking license and
cannot accept deposits from the public. However, NBFIs do facilitate alternative financial services, such as
investment (both collective and individual), risk pooling, financial consulting, brokering, money
transmission, and check cashing. NBFIs are a source of consumer credit (along with licensed banks).

Risk pooling institutions


Insurance companies underwrite economic risks associated with death, illness, damage to or loss of
property, and other risk of loss. They provide a contingent promise of economic protection in the case of
loss. There are two main types of insurance companies: life insurance and general insurance.

 General insurance is further divided into two categories: Market and Social insurance.
 Social insurance is against the risk of loss of income due to sudden unemployment, disability,
illness, and natural disasters. Because of the unpredictability of these risks, the ease at which the
insured can hide pertinent information from the insurer, and the presence of moral hazard, private
insurance companies frequently do not provide social insurance, a gap in the insurance industry
which government usually fills.

 Social insurance is more prevalent in industrialized Western societies where family networks and
other organic social support groups are not as prevalent.

 Market insurance is privatized insurance for damage or loss of property. General insurance
companies take a single premium payment. In return, the companies will make a specified payment
contingent on the event that it is being insured against. Examples include theft, fire, damage,
natural disaster, etc.
Contractual savings institutions
Contractual savings institutions (also called institutional investors) provide the opportunity for individuals
to invest in collective investment vehicles in a fiduciary rather than a principle role. Collective investment
vehicles invest the pooled resources of the individuals and firms into numerous equity, debt, and
derivatives promises.

The two main types of mutual funds are open-end and closed-end funds.
Open-end funds generate new investments by allowing the public buy new shares at any time.
Shareholders can liquidate their shares by selling them back to the open-end fund at the net asset value.
Closed-end funds issue a fixed number of shares in an IPO. The shareholders capitalize on the value of their
assets by selling their shares in a stock exchange.

Mutual funds can be delineated along the nature of their investments. For example, some funds make
high-risk, high return investments, while others focus on tax-exempt securities. Still others specialize in
speculative trading (i.e. hedge funds), a specific sector, or cross-border investments. Pension funds are
mutual funds that limit the investor’s ability to access their investment until after a certain date. In return,
pension funds are granted large tax breaks in order to incentivize the working public to set aside a
percentage of their current income for a later date when they are no longer amongst the labor force
(retirement income).

Other nonbank financial institutions


Market makers are broker-dealer institutions that quote both a buy and sell price for an asset held in
inventory. Such assets include equities, government and corporate debt, derivatives, and foreign
currencies. Once an order is received, the market maker immediately sells from its inventory or makes a
purchase to offset the loss in inventory. The difference in the buying and selling quotes, or the bid-offer
spread, is how the market-maker makes profit. Market makers improve the liquidity of any asset in their
inventory.

Specialized sectoral financiers provide a limited range of financial services to a targeted sector. For
example, leasing companies provide financing for equipment, while real estate financiers channel capital to
prospective homeowners. Leasing companies generally have two unique advantages over other specialized
sectoral financiers. They are somewhat insulated against the risk of default because they own the leased
equipment as part of their collateral agreement. Additionally, leasing companies enjoy the preferential tax
treatment on equipment investment. Other financial service providers include brokers (both securities and
mortgage), management consultants, and financial advisors. They operate on a fee-for-service basis. For
the most part, financial service providers improve informational efficiency for the investor. However, in the
case of brokers, they do offer a transactions service by which an investor can liquidate existing assets.

Role in financial system


NBFIs supplement banks in providing financial services to individuals and firms. They can provide
competition for banks in the provision of these services. While banks may offer a set of financial services as
a package deal, NBFIs unbundle these services, tailoring their services to particular groups. Additionally,
individual NBFIs may specialize in a particular sector, gaining an informational advantage. By this
unbundling, targeting, and specializing, NBFIs promote competition within the financial services industry.

Having a multi-faceted financial system, which includes non-bank financial institutions, can protect
economies from financial shocks and recover from those shocks. NBFIs provide multiple alternatives to
transform an economy's savings into capital investment, which act as backup facilities should the primary
form of intermediation fail.
However, in countries that lack effective regulations, non-bank financial institutions can exacerbate the
fragility of the financial system. While not all NBFIs are lightly regulated, the NBFIs that comprise the
shadow banking system are. In the run-up to the recent global financial crisis, institutions such as hedge
funds and structured investment vehicles, were largely overlooked by regulators, who focused NBFI
supervision on pension funds and insurance companies. If a large share of the financial system is in NBFIs
that operate largely unsupervised by government regulators and anybody else, it can put the stability of
the entire system at risk. Weaknesses in NBFI regulation can fuel a credit bubble and asset overpricing,
followed by asset price collapse and loan defaults.

Banking financial institutions


Banks, more precisely – retail or commercial banks, fall under the category of banking financial institutions.
A bank is a financial intermediary with a purpose to act as a middleman between suppliers of funds or
depositors and borrowers. The main task of a bank is to accept deposits and use these funds later on to
offer loans to its customers. Another duty of a bank is to act as a payment agent, which is done by offering
a host of payment services, such as credit and debit cards, direct deposit facilities, cheques and bank
drafts. A bank makes money by investing the deposits in financial securities and assets, but mostly by
lending the funds further to its customers. The primary reasons for depositing money in banks are
convenience, safety and interest income.

Non-banking financial institutions


The other type of financial institutions includes investment banks, insurance companies, investment funds
and other. A range of financial services offered by non-banking financial institutions differ from those of a
bank. The main difference between both is that non-banking financial institutions cannot accept deposits
into savings and demand deposit accounts, while it is one of the core businesses for banking financial
institutions.

Meanwhile, they offer a variety of other services. For example, investment banks offer services to their
clients such as underwriting of debt and share issues, corporate advisory, securities trading and derivative
transactions and other investment services. Insurance companies offer a protection against specific losses
in exchange for an insurance premium. Pension and mutual funds are savings institutions where investors
are able to invest their funds in collective investment vehicles. There are financial services that are
provided by both banking and non-banking financial institutions, such as granting loans, financial
consultancy, leasing of equipment and investment in financial securities.

Banks: The central and commercial banks are the most well-known financial intermediaries simplifying the
lending and borrowing process, along with providing various other services to its customers on a large
scale.

Credit Unions: These are the cooperative financial units which facilitate lending and borrowing of funds to
provide financial assistance to its members.

Non-Banking Finance Companies: A NBFC is a financial company engaged in activities such as advancing
loans to its clients at a very high rate of interest.

Stock Exchanges: The stock exchange facilitates the trading of securities and stocks, and in every trading
activity, it charges the brokerage from each party which is its profit.

Mutual Fund Companies: The mutual fund organizations club the amount collected from various investors.
These investors have identical investment objectives and risk-taking ability. The funds are then collectively
invested in the securities, bonds, and other investment options, to ensure a capital gain in the long run.
Insurance Companies: These companies provide insurance policies to the individuals and business entities
to secure them against accident, death, risk, uncertainties and default. For this purpose, they accept
deposits in the form of premium, which is pooled into profitable investments to gain returns. The insured
person can claim the money in case of any mishap as per the agreement.

Financial Advisers or Brokers: The investment brokers also collect the funds from various investors to
invest it in the securities, bonds, equities, etc. The financial advisers even provide guidance and expert
opinions to the investors.

Investment Bankers: These banks specialize in services like initial public offerings (IPO), other equity
offerings, proving for mergers and acquisitions, institutional client’s broker services, underwriting debts,
etc. As a result of constant mediation, between the investor or public and the companies issuing securities.

Escrow Companies: It is a third party acting as an intermediary and responsible for getting all the
conditions fulfilled at the time of loan provided by one party to the other for the real estate mortgage.

Pension Funds: The government entities initiate a pension fund. A certain amount is deducted from the
salary of the employees each month. This collected sum is then invested in different schemes to gain
profits. The investor’s fund is returned with interest after their retirement.

Building Societies: These financial intermediaries are similar to the credit unions, owned and facilitating
mortgage loans and demand deposits to its members.

Collective Investment Schemes: Under this scheme, the various investors with common investment
objective come together to pool their funds and collectively invest this amount into a profitable investment
option. Later they distribute the interest among themselves as per the agreement.

The main components of capital market are: 1. Primary Market 2. Secondary Market

1. Primary Market (New Issue Market):

Primary market is also known as new issue market. As in this market securities are sold for the first time,
i.e., new securities are issued from the company. Primary capital market directly contributes in capital
formation because in primary market company goes directly to investors and utilizes these funds for
investment in buildings, plants, machinery etc. The primary market does not include finance in the form of
loan from financial institutions because when loan is issued from financial institution it implies converting
private capital into public capital and this process of converting private capital into public capital is called
going public. The common securities issued in primary market are equity shares, debentures, bonds,
preference shares and other innovative securities.

2. Secondary Market (Stock Exchange):

The secondary market is the market for the sale and purchase of previously issued or second-hand
securities. In secondary market securities are not directly issued by the company to investors. The
securities are sold by existing investors to other investors. Sometimes the investor is in need of cash and
another investor wants to buy the shares of the company as he could not get directly from company. Then
both the investors can meet in secondary market and exchange securities for cash through intermediary
called broker.

In secondary market companies get no additional capital as securities are bought and sold between
investors only so directly there is no capital formation but secondary market indirectly contributes in
capital formation by providing liquidity to securities of the company.
If there is no secondary market then investors could get back their investment only after redemption
period is over or when company gets dissolved which means investment will be blocked for a long period
of time but with the presence of secondary market, the investors can convert their securities into cash
whenever they want and it also gives chance to investors to make profit as securities are bought and sold
at market price which is generally more than the original price of the securities.

This liquidity offered by secondary market encourages even those investors to invest in securities who
want to invest for small period of time as there is option of selling securities at their convenience.

THE METHOD OF FLOATATION OF SECURITIES IN PRIMARY MARKET:

1. Public Issue through Prospectus:

Under this method company issues a prospectus to inform and attract general public. In prospectus
company provides details about the purpose for which funds are being raised, past financial performance
of the company, background and future prospects of company. The information in the prospectus helps
the public to know about the risk and earning potential of the company and accordingly they decide
whether to invest or not in that company.

2. Offer for Sale:

Under this method new securities are offered to general public but not directly by the company but by an
intermediary who buys whole lot of securities from the company. Generally, the intermediaries are the
firms of brokers.

3. Private Placement:

Under this method the securities are sold by the company to an intermediary at a fixed price and in second
step intermediaries sell these securities not to general public but to selected clients at higher price. The
issuing company issues prospectus to give details about its objectives, future prospects so that reputed
clients prefer to buy the security from intermediary. Under this method the intermediaries issue securities
to selected clients such as UTI, LIC, General Insurance, etc.

4. Right Issue (For Existing Companies):

This is the issue of new shares to existing shareholders. It is called right issue because it is the preemptive
right of shareholders that company must offer them the new issue before subscribing to outsiders. Each
shareholder has the right to subscribe to the new shares in the proportion of shares he already holds. A
right issue is mandatory for companies under Companies’ Act.

20.5. e-IPOs, (electronic Initial Public Offer):

It is the new method of issuing securities through online system of stock exchange. In this company has to
appoint registered brokers for the purpose of accepting applications and placing orders. The company
issuing security has to apply for listing of its securities on any exchange other than the exchange it has
offered its securities earlier. The manager coordinates the activities through various intermediaries
connected with the issue.

Other Examples of Financial Markets:

Bond market:
The bond market—often called the debt market, fixed-income market, or credit market—is the collective
name given to all trades and issues of debt securities. Governments typically issue bonds in order to raise
capital to pay down debts or fund infrastructural improvements. Publicly-traded companies issue bonds
when they need to finance business expansion projects or maintain ongoing operations.

The bond market is broadly segmented into two different silos: the primary market and the secondary
market. The primary market is frequently referred to as the "new issues" market in which transactions
strictly occur directly between the bond issuers and the bond buyers. In essence, the primary market yields
the creation of brand new debt securities that have not previously been offered to the public.

In the secondary market, securities that have already been sold in the primary market are then bought and
sold at later dates. Investors can purchase these bonds from a broker, who acts as an intermediary
between the buying and selling parties. These secondary market issues may be packaged in the form of
pension funds, mutual funds, and life insurance policies—among many other product structures.

Types of Bond Markets


The general bond market can be segmented into the following bond classifications, each with its own set of
attributes.

Corporate Bonds
Companies issue corporate bonds to raise money for a sundry of reasons, such as financing current
operations, expanding product lines, or opening up new manufacturing facilities. Corporate bonds usually
describe longer-term debt instruments that provide a maturity of at least one year.

Government Bonds
National-issued government bonds (or Treasuries) entice buyers by paying out the face value listed on the
bond certificate, on the agreed maturity date, while also issuing periodic interest payments along the way.
This characteristic makes government bonds attractive to conservative investors.

Municipal Bonds
Municipal bonds—commonly abbreviated as "muni" bonds—are locally issued by states, cities, special-
purpose districts, public utility districts, school districts, publicly-owned airports and seaports, and other
government-owned entities who seek to raise cash to fund various projects.

Mortgage-Backed Bonds
These issues, which consist of pooled mortgages on real estate properties, are locked in by the pledge of
particular collateralized assets. They pay monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual interest.

Emerging Market Bonds


Issued by governments and companies located in emerging market economies, these bonds provide much
greater growth opportunities, but also greater risk, than domestic or developed bond markets.

Commodity market

A commodity market is a marketplace for buying, selling, and trading raw materials or primary products.
There are currently about 50 major commodity markets worldwide that facilitate trade in approximately
100 primary commodities.
Commodities are often split into two broad categories: hard and soft commodities. Hard commodities
include natural resources that must be mined or extracted—such as gold, rubber, and oil, whereas soft
commodities are agricultural products or livestock—such as corn, wheat, coffee, sugar, soybeans, and
pork.

Investors can gain exposure to commodities by investing in companies that have exposure to commodities
or investing in commodities directly via futures contracts.

Stock market

A stock market is a place where investors go to trade equity securities, such as common stocks, and
derivatives—including options and futures. Stocks are traded on stock exchanges. Buying equity securities,
or stocks, means you are buying a very small ownership stake in a company. While bondholders lend
money with interest, equity holders purchase small stakes in companies on the belief that the company
performs well and the value of the shares purchased will increase.

The primary function of the stock market is to bring buyers and sellers together into a fair, regulated, and
controlled environment where they can execute their trades. This gives those involved the confidence that
trading is done with transparency, and that pricing is fair and honest. This regulation not only helps
investors, but also the corporations whose securities are being traded. The economy thrives when the
stock market maintains its robustness and overall health.

Just like the bond market, there are two components to the stock market. The primary market is reserved
for first-run equities: initial public offerings (IPOs) will be issued on this market. This market is facilitated by
underwriters, who set the initial price for securities. Equities are then

Derivative market:

 Just like shares, Derivatives are also traded in stock exchanges.


 Derivatives are a type of security, whose value is derived from an underlying asset.
 These underlying assets can be stocks, bonds, commodities or currency.
 The popularity of derivative can easily be understood by daily turnover in the derivative segment on
the exchange, which is much higher than turnover in the cash segment on the same exchange.
 Derivatives can either be exchange-traded or traded over the counter (OTC).
 Exchange refers to the formally established stock exchange wherein securities are traded and they
have a defined set of rules for the participants.

Use of Derivatives:

Derivative contracts like futures and options trade freely on exchanges and can be employed to satisfy a
variety of needs which includes the following-

a) Hedge your securities


The derivative contracts can be used to hedge your securities from price fluctuations. The shares
which you possess can be protected on the downside by entering into a derivative contract.

b) Transfer of risk
This is the most important use of derivative which helps in transferring risk from risk-averse people to a
risk-seeking investor.

c) Benefit from arbitrage opportunities


Arbitrage trading simply means buying low in one market and selling high in another market.
Participants in the derivative market
The participants in the derivative markets can be segregated into three categories namely-

a) Hedgers
These are traders who wish to protect themselves from the risk or uncertainty involved in price
movement.

For example, you can enter into an options contract (a part of the derivative strategy) by paying a small
price or premium and reduce your losses.

Moreover, it would help you benefit whether or not the price falls. This is how you can hedge your risk and
transfer it to someone who is willing to take the risk.

b) Speculators
They are extremely high-risk seekers who anticipate future price movement in the hope of making
large and quick gains.

c) Arbitrageurs
Arbitrage is a low-risk trade which involves buying of securities in one market and simultaneous
selling it in another market. This happens when same securities are trading at different prices in
two different markets. For instance, say the cash market price of a share is Rs 100 and it is trading
at Rs 110 per share on the futures market. An arbitrageur observes the same and bought 50 shares
@ Rs 100 per share in the cash market and simultaneously sells 50 shares @Rs 110 per share, thus
gaining Rs 10 per share.

Types of derivative contracts


There are four types of derivative contracts which include forwards, futures, options, and swaps.

Since swaps are complex instruments which we cannot trade in the stock market, so we’ll focus on
the first three.

a) Forward contracts
They are customized contractual agreements between two parties where they agree to trade a
particular asset at an agreed upon price and at a particular time in future.

b) Futures contracts
These are standardized version of the forward contract which takes place between two parties
where they agree to trade a particular contract at a specified time and at an agreed upon price.

c) Options
It is an agreement between a buyer and a seller which gives the buyer the right but not the
obligation to buy or sell a particular asset at a later date at an agreed-upon price.

Following are the differences between money market vs capital market:

Borrowing Term
Lending and borrowing in the money market is for the short-term. In the capital market,
investors lend and borrow securities for medium term to long-term.
Participants
Usual participants in the money market are central banks, commercial banks, mutual funds,
financial institutions and chit funds. Capital market, on the other hand, involves stock brokers,
retail investors, mutual funds, underwriters, insurance companies and stock exchanges.

Instruments
Popular instruments in the money market are commercial papers, T-bills, call money,
promissory notes and so on. Capital markets typically deal in bonds, debentures, preference
shares and so on.

Structure
Capital markets are more formal than the money market. Compared to capital markets, money
markets are more informal. Also, capital markets are more organized than the money market.

Classification
There are two types of capital markets – Primary Market and Secondary Market. There is no
such classification in the money market.

Liquidity
Since money market deals with short-term instruments, it is more liquid. Capital market deals in
medium to long-term time frame, thus liquidity is less.

Risk Factor
Money market usually involves less risk as the market is liquid and funds are for the short-term.
Due to long-term maturity and comparatively less liquidity, the risk in the capital market is
more.

Purpose
It helps borrowers to meet their short-term funding requirements. Due to its long-term nature,
the capital market works more towards stabilizing the economy by mobilizing the savings.

Returns
Since the time duration is short and the risk is less, returns in the money market are also less.
Return in the capital market is more as the investment is for more duration.

Relevance to Economy
Money market helps to boost liquidity in an economy. Capital market, on the other hand,
converts savings into productive investments.

Maturity Period
Money market instruments have a max maturity period of one year. In the capital market, there
is no specified maturity period for the instruments, but it is always more than a year.

Relation with Country’s Central Bank


Money market and Central bank work closely with each other. Central bank’s policies influence
the working of the capital markets, but there is no direct relation between the two.
As you now know that the primary function of both markets is to ensure an adequate level of
funding. Which market (money market vs capital market) does investor access depend on their
funding needs and time duration they want the funds for.
