A mixed-ownership government corporation established by Congress in 1989 in conjunction with the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC). The two corporations were established to rescue savings and loan (S&L) institutions that failed during the savings and loan crisis. REFCORP provided liquidity to these organizations by issuing bonds. |||The S&L crisis began in the late 1970s and lasted through the early 1990s. S&Ls engaged in risky activities, such as commercial real estate lending and investing in junk bonds, because their deposits were insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC). The FSLIC eventually became insolvent, and the government spent over $124 billion in taxpayer dollars and liquidated 747 insolvent S&Ls to end the crisis.
A means of paying brokerage firms for their services through commission revenue, as opposed to through normal direct payments (hard dollar fees). The investing public tends to have a negative perception of soft dollar arrangements because they believe that buy-side firms should pay expenses out of their profits, rather than from investors' pockets. As such, the use of hard dollar compensation is becoming more common. For example, a mutual fund may offer to pay for research from a brokerage firm by executing trades at the brokerage. Let's say that Large-Cap Value Fund (LCV) wants to buy some research from XYZ Brokerage Firm. LCV may agree to spend at least $10,000 in commissions for brokerage services in return for research from XYZ. This would represent a soft dollar payment. Alternatively, if LCV wanted to simply buy the research from XYZ and not agree to any kind of soft dollar fee, it might have to pay the brokerage firm $7,000 in "hard dollars" (cash) for the service.
The total value of all the individual credits to be applied against income on a tax return. This credit can be carried forward for a number of years in most cases and can also be carried back in some cases. Watch: Tax Deduction Vs. Tax Credit The General Business Tax Credit is unique in that it is not a single separate credit. Instead, it represents a smorgasboard of specific tax credits that promote certain business activities, such as research, oil recovery, reforestation, or starting a pension plan. Each credit is tallied up on a separate form first, then carried over to the General Business Tax Credit Form 3800.
When one shareholder or a group acting in kind holds a high enough percentage of ownership in a company to enact changes at the highest level. By definition, this figure is 50% of the outstanding shares or voting shares, plus one. However, controlling interest can be achieved with less than 50% ownership of the stock if that person/group owns a significant proportion of the voting shares, because in many cases, not every share carries a vote in shareholder meetings. Taobiz explains Controlling Interest For the majority of large public companies (such as those that belong to the S&P 500), a shareholder with much less than 50% of the outstanding shares can still cause a lot of shake-up at the company. Single shareholders with as little as 5-10% ownership can push for their own seats on the board, or enact changes at shareholder meetings by publicly lobbying for them.
The central bank of India, which was established on April 1, 1935, under the Reserve Bank of India Act. The RBI uses monetary policy to create financial stability in India and is charged with regulating the country's currency and credit systems. |||Located in Mumbai, the Reserve Bank of India serves the financial market in many ways. One of its most important functions is establishing an overnight interbank lending rate. The Mumbai Interbank Offer Rate, or MIBOR, serves as a benchmark for interest rate related financial instruments in India.
A description of companies that have large capitalizations and provide investors with slow but steady and dependable growth prospects. The annual gain that would be viewed as the norm for investing in stalwarts is about 10% to 12%. Stalwarts will by no means become tenbaggers overnight, mainly because of their large capitalization, but they are usually a good source of fairly predictable returns. Peter Lynch popularized this term in his book "One Up on Wall Street," where he shows that the price chart of a stalwart compares neither to a topographic map of Delaware nor to one of Mount Everest, but assumes a place somewhere in the middle.
A metric developed by Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) that rates publicly traded companies in terms of the quality of their corporate governance. Each public company covered by the metric is assigned a rating based on a number of factors that are considered by the ISS model. Factors used in the CGQ formula include board structure and composition, the executive and director compensation charter, and bylaw provisions. Taobiz explains Corporate Governance Quotient - CGQ The CGQ serves as a reasonable approximation of the quality of a public firm's corporate governance. Investors seeking to hold shares in a company for the long term will typically be concerned about the quality of their company's corporate governance, as research has shown that a high quality of corporate governance typically leads to enhanced shareholder returns.
