公司投资战略中的现金流管理

一、投资战略概述 投资是为了获得未来回报而购买并使用某种资产,其实质就是在权衡风险与收益的基础上,将资金有效地投入于各种资产,实现资产的优化组合,以获取最大程度的增值的过程,即将现金投放于各项资产或项目,根据环境的变化不断地对各项资产的数量与结构进行调整,从而实现未来净现金流量现值最大.公司投资战略是指将企业的拥有或实际控制的经济资源有效地投放出去,以获得未来的经济利益和竞争优势,从公司资产负债表中表现为公司的各项资产及其结构.现金流管理在投资战略中的应用就是通过现金流的预测、决策及其实施以及控制将企业的各种资产有机地组合在一起,有效地管理资产,实现企业战略.     

危机前后美国寿险公司不动产投资研究

基于ISIS全球保险公司数据库收录的美国寿险公司数据资料,本文研究了美国寿险公司的不动产投资情况.研究发现,从美国寿险公司的资产组合构成来看,不动产投资所占的比重还很低,且在次贷危机前后不动产投资在整个资产组合中所占的比重没有很大的变动.在美国房地产市场顶峰期的2005年,寿险公司所持有的不动产投资反而是最低的.但是,...

基于vine copula的股市风格资产组合风险预警研究

近年来,风格投资已成为一种重要的投资模式。在此背景下,如何有效地对风格资产组合风险进行刻画与预警具有重要的理论与现实意义。本文选取股市风格资产构建投资组合,分别基于传统分布假设与EVT极值理论构建边缘分布;运用三类vine copula模型(C-vine、D-vine、R-vine)刻画风格资产间的相依关系;进一步运用滚动时间窗的蒙特卡罗模拟方法进行组合风险的动态测度,并通过返回测试比较不同风险模型的测度效果;最后基于在险价值(VaR)的预测结果对组合风险预警系统进行构建。研究结果表明:R-vine模型能够相对灵活地刻画风格资产间的相依结构,并取得更高的组合风险测度精度;相较于传统资产分布假设,引入EVT极值理论的风险模型能够更为有效地预测风格资产组合风险状况;基于在险价值所构建出的风险预警系统能够较好地对组合风险进行分级预警,从而为投资者与市场监管部门提供决策参考。     

如何计算基金的海外投资比重

晨星分析师克里斯多佛·大卫(Christopher Davis)在最近回答投资者提问时指出,最近次级债引发的市场动乱,使关于投资组合中应该配置多大比重的海外资产的争论,已经十分尖锐. 注册地不等于公司收入来源地 几十年以前,这个争论的答案相当简单,投资海外资产收益所占比例就是投资组合中在海外注册的公司的比重.但全球化已经打乱了公司所属国家的界限,一家公司的注册地已经不再能够正确地反映它的主要收入来源.     

资产配置的选择与优化策略研究--基于“美林投资时钟”的视角北大核心CSSCI

本文基于美林证券公司提出的大类资产配置理论,即“美林投资时钟”,从预测经济衰退入手,结合收益率曲线期限利差和风险溢价,研究资产配置的选择与优化策略:研究发现,美国10年期国债收益率与3月期国债收益率的利差组合和KCFSI指数对美国经济衰退有较好的预测效果,能够捕捉经济周期走向。在此基础上,参考美林投资时钟模式,本文利用期限利差和KCFSI组合构建金融投资时钟,对传统经济周期进行重新划分,同时以协整回归检验大类资产收益与新周期的关系,并以此构建新的资产配置策略,在新的周期划分基础上进行历史回测,得到的结果优于以往传统的投资策略。

Debt and Taxes and Uncertainty

With a graduated personal tax schedule, Miller showed that there could be an equilibrium debt supply for the corporate sector as a whole. In the presence of uncertainty there is also a unique debt/equity ratio for each individual firm, and this ratio is related to the firm's operational risk characteristics. However, if firms merge and spin off in response to tax incentives, the identity of firms is ambiguous and only the corporate sector is a meaningful construct. These arguments are developed in both discrete and continuous models that employ extensions of the arbitrage-free pricing theory.     

教育与资本怎样的前景怎样的现实

来自政府的声音: "动员各种社会资源,发展教育" 此次论坛上财政部长助理张少春的发言是最受关注的发言之一.他的演讲传达出的信息有这样几方面:第一,谈到现实,他认为全社会对教育的巨大需求与我国公共投入不足已成为我国教育事业发展的突出矛盾.近年来,以公共部门投入为主,多渠道筹措教育经费的教育投入机制成为解决这一问题的重要途径,也使得公共部门与私营部门在教育领域的合作日益密切.第二,谈到前景,他认为,1.中国经济持续、快速的增长对高技能人才产生巨大的需求,这为私营部门的参与提供了广阔空间.2.随着公共财政职能的不断完善,财政资金将在各项教育事业中重新进行分配,进一步优化财政支出结构,提高资金的使用效率.在"十一五"期间,我国将把公共支出的重点转移到农村.我们将逐步把全体农村适龄儿童的义务教育全部纳入公共财政体制.     

Director gender and mergers and acquisitions

Does director gender influence CEO empire building? Does it affect the bid premium paid for target firms? Less overconfident female directors less overestimate merger gains. As a result, firms with female directors are less likely to make acquisitions and if they do, pay lower bid premia. Using acquisition bids by S&P 1500 companies during 1997–2009 we find that each additional female director is associated with 7.6% fewer bids, and each additional female director on a bidder board reduces the bid premium paid by 15.4%. Our findings support the notion that female directors help create shareholder value through their influence on acquisition decisions. We also discuss other possible interpretations of our findings.     

Political corruption and mergers and acquisitions

This research examines the relation between political corruption and mergers and acquisitions (M&As). We find that local corruption increases firm acquisitiveness but decreases firm targetiveness. The levels of corruption in acquirer areas relate positively to the bid premiums and negatively to the likelihood of deal completion. Corruption motivates acquiring firms to use excess cash for payment, which mitigates the negative effect of corruption on acquirer shareholder value. The evidence indicates that acquisitions help acquiring firms convert cash into hard-to-extract assets and relocate assets from the high to low corruption areas, thereby shielding their liquid assets from expropriation by local officials.     

Trust and cross-border mergers and acquisitions

A number of studies suggest that social trust matters for investment. Using different measures of trust from World Values Survey, we show that countries where people display higher levels of trust engage in more cross-border M&A activities. When they do, these acquirers pay lower premiums. To the extent that these acquirers also tend to engage in larger acquisitions as well, our findings suggest that a larger selection pool of potential targets and higher value targets enable these acquirers to negotiate for lower premiums. We do not find evidence of the significant effect for target country trust levels. Hence, trust may benefit those acquiring firms in cross-border transactions.     

Tournament-based incentives and mergers and acquisitions

This research examines the relation between tournament-based incentives, which are proxied by the difference between a firm's CEO pay and the median pay of the senior managers, and mergers and acquisitions (M&As). We find that tournament-based incentives are positively related to firm acquisitiveness and acquiring firms' stock and operating performance. Further analysis indicates that positive acquisition performance increases the likelihood of the CEO being promoted from inside the acquiring firm. Our evidence is consistent with the view that tournament-based incentives motivate acquiring firms' managers to make greater efforts and take more risk that result in superior acquisition performance.     

Corporate Innovations and Mergers and Acquisitions

Using a large and unique patent‐merger data set over the period 1984 to 2006, we show that companies with large patent portfolios and low R&D expenses are acquirers, while companies with high R&D expenses and slow growth in patent output are targets. Further, technological overlap between firm pairs has a positive effect on transaction incidence, and this effect is reduced for firm pairs that overlap in product markets. We also show that acquirers with prior technological linkage to their target firms produce more patents afterwards. We conclude that synergies obtained from combining innovation capabilities are important drivers of acquisitions.     

East and west and north and south : A preliminary model

The Brandt report and other proposals for a new North-South world order continue to be the focus of lively debate, yet it is often argued that little concrete has emerged from their recommendations. A major reason for this, the author argues, is that the East-West conflict component is not sufficiently taken into consideration-East-West tensions are a severe constraint on and a determining factor of North-South relations. Using influence diagrams, the author develops a flexible framework for discussion and assessment of N/S-E/W relations.
