A term used by the investment community to refer to companies with a market capitalization value of more than $10 billion. Large cap is an abbreviation of the term "large market capitalization".

Keep in mind that the dollar amounts used for the classifications "large cap", mid cap", or "small cap" are only approximations that change over time. Among market participants, their exact definitions can vary.

A series of indexes that track the overall Korean Stock Exchange and its components. These indexes use a weighted average based on market calculation to calculate the value of the indexes. Taobiz explains Korean Composite Stock Price Indexes - KOSPI The most well-known KOSPI index is the KOSPI 200, which comprises the 200 largest publicly-traded companies on the Korean Exchange. This index is seen as a barometer of the overall movements of the Korean stock market, and is used to benchmark the performance of investors and funds in the Korean market.
A notification placed on certain stock certificates describing the terms and conditions of sale and ownership. Taobiz explains Legend The main purpose of a legend is to notify owners of the restrictions placed on certain stocks. Sometimes, however, the legend may not be included on the certificate, so there may be restrictions on some stocks that have no legends. Generally, these restrictions occur when the initial owner enters into a shareholder agreement.
A hedge position that a company holds for an extended period of time. Commodity companies, such as gold and oil producers, will often have legacy hedges on their reserves. This gives them a more stable stream of revenue as the hedge provides price guarantees. Taobiz explains Legacy Hedge Depending on the movement of market prices over time, a legacy hedge can become extremely valuable or negative for the company. For example, suppose that a gold producer hedged five million ounces of gold over a 10-year period beginning in 1998 at $200. If the price of gold falls over the 10-year period, the hedge will benefit the gold producer because it is selling its gold above the market price. However, if the price of gold rises to $500, the gold producer will be selling at a significantly lower rate than the market price and will not benefit from the higher prices.
An accounting term used to classify an asset on a company's balance sheet that is leased. In order to be classified as a leased asset, the firm must enter into a lease agreement that is an operating lease, and not a capital lease. Taobiz explains Leasehold The reason capital leases are not included in the leasehold account is due to their accounting treatment. Capital leases are classified as long-term assets with a matching long-term liability. Examples of an operating lease, include a lease on a building, service vehicle or even heavy equipment.
In statistical terms, a rule that assumes that as the number of samples increases, the average of these samples is likely to reach the mean of the whole population. When relating this concept to finance, it suggests that as a company grows, its chances of sustaining a large percentage in growth diminish. This is because as a company continues to expand, it must grow more and more just to maintain a constant percentage of growth. Taobiz explains Law Of Large Numbers As an example, assume that company X has a market capitalization of $400 billion and company Y has a market capitalization of $5 billion. In order for company X to grow by 50%, it must increase its market capitalization by $200 billion, while company Y would only have to increase its market capitalization by $2.5 billion. The law of large numbers suggests that it is much more likely that company Y will be able to expand by 50% than company X. The law of large numbers makes logical sense. If a large company continues to grow at 30-50% every year, it would eventually become bigger than the economy itself! Obviously, this can't happen and eventually growth has to slow down. As a result, investing in companies with very high market capitalization can dampen the potential for stock appreciation.
