Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III THE PRESIDENT The primary power in the government of the bank lies, of course, in the stockholders. But it would be the height of absurdity to contemplate the entire body of shareholders trying to manage the bank personally. The directorate is small; it may be composed of only five men. But even the directors are busy men, engaged so deeply in commercial or professional activities that they could not find time personally to conduct the bank’s transactions. Further, it is a very well-believed doctrine that many hands in the personal control of an enterprise tend to disrupt it rather than to bind and cement it. These complications are anticipated by our national and state banking laws, which require the election, by the stockholders, of a directorate, and by it, of a suitable number of officers. The directors have general control of the policy of the bank, while the officers personally carry out these policies and work out the details. However, it must be understood that the subordinate officers are under the direct command of the president, who is chief executive and plans the large features of the bank’s work. The president is, then, the personal representative and, after a fashion, the mouthpiece of the directorate, primarily, and of the stockholders, indirectly. There are all sorts of presidents and presidencies. They are found in the range from the little two-clerk bank at the cross-roads, through the gamut of town and city banks, to the largest institutions of the metropolis. It is natural that the duties and requirements of a president, the capital of whose bank is $10,000, will differ fundamentally and in detail from those of the president whose bank is capitalized at $25,000,000. In the little bank, while crops are growing and business is dull, th…
How do you prime the well of economic growth? First, put a negligible amount of money into exactly the right hands. Then, step back. A vibrant and rapidly expanding national economy needs an active small business sector, but small entrepreneurs need loans to expand their businesses. Microfinance also has potential to be an engine of economic growth, although this prospect has been overshadowed by its image as a tool for alleviating poverty. In Banking on Small Business, Gail Buyske analyzes three themes in economic development: the global growth of microfinance, banking sector development, and Russian entrepreneurship. These three themes intersect at KMB, the Russian Small Business Bank, where Buyske chaired the board of directors for six years. This book is in part an account of KMB’s role in initiating great changes through a series of apparently small actions. In reviewing Russian entrepreneurship and banking since the advent of perestroika in the mid-1990s, Buyske stresses that Russian entrepreneurship is more dynamic than usually perceived and that the historic lack of small-business and start-up finance was largely owing to the practices of the Russian banking sector rather than to any failing on the part of Russian entrepreneurs. Buyske’s conclusions have important implications for policy worldwide; she is confident that a broad understanding of microfinance as a profitable, rather than a charitable, endeavor will contribute to the commercial involvement needed to maximize global microfinance growth.
In recent years, monumental events have altered the financial landscape, and the investment banking industry has been likewise transformed. In the United States, deregulation has permitted new affiliations among banks, securities firms, and insurance companies, allowing them to offer a broader range of services. At the same time, deregulation overseas has spurred investment in foreign markets and accelerated a sweeping trend toward globalization. On the other hand, corporate scandals like those at Enron and WorldCom have prompted Congress to impose stringent new regulations in an effort to restore public confidence in the capital markets. Meanwhile, advances in information technology have changed the way Wall Street firms present their products to the public and have made vast informational resources available online. Investment banks must navigate the shifting regulatory terrain and counter mounting competition, while taking full advantage of burgeoning investment banking opportunities. In meeting these challenges, timely and accurate information is a critical asset. In The Business of Investment Banking, Dr. K. Thomas Liaw provides an inclusive, up-to-date guide to the evolving investment banking industry. In this new edition, Dr. Liaw offers a substantial revision of his bestselling text, responding to requests from educators and professionals alike. Incorporating the most recent developments in the industry, the author describes: Financial holding companies, full-service investment banks, boutique investment banks, and their lines of businesses Strategies for risk management, such as market risk, credit risk, operating risk, reputation risk, legal risk, and funding risk Career opportunities in investment banking, career paths, recruitment, and the application and interview process Key investment banking operations, including venture capital and buyouts, M&A services, equity underwriting, debt underwriting, securitization, financial engineering, investment management, and securities services Fundamentals for successful trading, arbitrage strategies, and technical trading techniques Regulatory issues and strategies relating to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and analyst conflict of interest Ethics and professionalism In addition, Dr. Liaw discusses investment banking opportunities in China, Japan, the EMU, and emerging markets, as well as the special challenges that come with globalization. A staple of industry training programs and a valued reference among banking professionals in its first edition, The Business of Investment Banking, Second Edition adds a wealth of new information to an already indispensable practical resource.

Let this section be adopted, giving perfect freedom to the Shylocks of the day, and the next half dozen years will wit- ness TntTtTansier, under the sheriff’s hammer, of the larger portion of the real property of both the city and the State. Of all the devices yet invented for the subjugation of labor by capital, there is none that can claim to be entitled to take precedence of that, which has been now proposed for oun-onsideration. To the general free trade movement there is, however, to be one exception, to wit, those national banks which issue circulating notes. In consideration of the supposed great profit thence resulting, they are to be limited to a charge of seven per cent. Nevertheless, the utmost they thus can make scarcely exceeds one per cent.; enabling them with circulation to make eight per cent., where without it they would make but seven. Under existing arrangements they will continue to furnish to the community that machinery in whose absence commerce would almost die away; but will they, can they, continue so to do under the new one that is now proposed? Let us inquire. The National Bank system having now become an absolute monopoly, enabling stockholders to make large profits, other persons anxious to participate in some degree therein have obtained State charters under which they do a business precisely similar to that of those English joint-stock banks which now make dividends to the extent of twenty and thirty per cent. Trading almost entirely on the capital of others they offer to depositors large interest, to provide for whose payment loans are made on the most usurious terms. Here, as there, the business is profitable, but the risks are great; it being carried on in utter defiance of the law which limits banks to six per cent. as the le…
This work provides an integration of the financial and economic aspects of the interest rate. It depicts how the interest rate operates in the macro-economy to set the supply and the allocation of capital and how it functions on the micro-economic level to optimize capital decision-making. It describes the function of the financial markets in setting the supply and cost-of-funds to various users, of estimating a reasonable cost of capital for operational purposes of business firms and public sector authorities, and the application of discounting and present-value methods to financial and investment decisions and strategies. This work is unique in presenting seamless coverage of the function of the interest rate across varying markets. It will be of interest to scholars and students in economics and finance.

Dr. Rebonato has blended technical mastery with many years of practical experience to produce what should become the standard handbook for anyone wanting to value, hedge or control the risks of interest rate derivatives. –Ian Cooper, Professor of Finance, London Business School This eagerly awaited book fills an important need. It covers the pressing but technically difficult issues of how to implement ‘market’ models of the term structure for the purposes of valuing and hedging interest-rate-sensitive derivatives. Dr. Rebonato is a leading expert in the field. His treatment is exceptionally lucid as well as authoritative. –Stewart Hodges, University of Warwick Riccardo Rebonato succeeds admirably in combining an accessible exposition of the foundations of the LIBOR market model framework with extensive guidance on the calibration and implementation of the models in practice. The book’s many insights into the dynamics of fixed income markets and models should provide industry professionals with valuable tools and offer academics a rare glimpse of the market as viewed by a practitioner-theorist, all presented in the author’s elegant and lively style. –Paul Glasserman, Columbia University This book is a significant contribution to the field. It offers plenty of empirical work and case studies illustrating the application of the models each step of the way. Unlike other treatments, it emphasizes the market rationale for modeling choices, and is not driven by purely mathematical considerations. Reference is continually made to market features, the behaviour of instruments, and empirical features, with all of this backed up by the author’s considerable experience. –NickWebber, University of Warwick There are many books that get bogged down in mathematical technicalities before they get to the point and are therefore of little use to practitioners. Rebonato takes the opposite approach: he gets to the point. People working in the mathematical finance industry will love this book. –Jeff Dewynne, Oxford University
