company's profits distributed to shareholders. However, these dividends are not
guaranteed and can vary depending on the company's performance and
management decisions.
 Common stockholders have the potential for capital appreciation, meaning the
value of their shares can increase over time, but they also bear the most risk in
case of financial difficulties or bankruptcy, as they are last in line to receive
assets after debt holders and preferred shareholders.
2 Preferred Stock :

significantly from common stock.
 Preferred shareholders do not typically, have voting rights or have limited voting
rights, meaning they don't participate in corporate decisions like common
shareholders.

intervals. These dividends must be paid before any dividends are distributed to
common shareholders, making preferred stock a more stable income-generating
investment.

gains.

potential. Investors choose between these two types of stock based on their financial
goals, risk tolerance, and income preferences.

DISADVANTAGES:

COMPOSED BY MR
KHAN
18 CAPITAL MARKETS IN PAKISTAN

Limited Liquidity: Unlike savings or checking accounts, CDs tie up your money for a
fixed period. Early withdrawals may result in penalties and loss of interest.
Opportunity Cost: Since CD rates are fixed, you may miss out on potentially higher
returns if market interest rates rise during your CD's term.
Inflation Risk: If the interest rate on your CD is lower than the inflation rate, your
purchasing power may decrease over time.
Minimum Deposit: Many CDs require a minimum deposit, which might be higher
than what's required for other types of accounts.
Penalty for Early Withdrawal: If you need to access your funds before the CD
matures, you'll likely incur penalties, which can eat into your returns.
Interest Income Taxation: You'll need to pay taxes on the interest earned from CDs,
potentially reducing your overall returns.
Ultimately, the suitability of CDs depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and
need for liquidity. They can be a valuable part of a diversified investment portfolio but
may not offer the same growth potential as riskier assets like stocks.
IN SUMMARY, Certificate of Deposits come in various types with fixed interest rates and
maturity dates, making them low-risk savings and investment options. They offer a safe
way to earn interest and are commonly used for savings, income generation, and capital
preservation.

systems).

securities (like bonds) will fail to make interest payments or repay the principal

COMPOSED BY MR

 A portfolio is a collection of financial investments and assets held by an individual,


institution, or entity. It is a diversified mix of securities, such as stocks, bonds,
mutual funds, real estate, and other investments, with the goal of achieving
specific financial objectives while managing risk.

Example: Imagine you are an individual investor looking to build a portfolio. Here's a
simplified example:
Stocks: You decide to invest in shares of several different publicly traded companies.
You buy shares in Company A, Company B, and Company C. This forms the stock portion
of your portfolio.
Bonds: To add stability and income to your portfolio, you purchase government bonds
and corporate bonds. These bonds pay you interest regularly, providing a steady income
stream.
Cash: You also keep some cash in a savings account. While it doesn't provide high
returns, it's readily available for emergencies or new investment opportunities.
Real Estate: You invest in a real estate investment trust (REIT), which gives you exposure
to the real estate market without owning physical properties.

CONCLUSION: By combining these different types of investments, you create a


diversified portfolio. If one sector, such as stocks, experiences a downturn, your bond
investments or real estate holdings may help offset those losses. The goal is to achieve a
balance that aligns with your financial objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon. Over
time, you can adjust your portfolio to reflect changes in your goals or market conditions.

 CENTRAL BANK'S MONOPOLY OF NOTE ISSUE

 Monopoly of Note Issue One of the very important functions of the early banks
which to issue their own notes This led to much confusion and widespread
distress among the people because banks began to over issue notes They could
not honour the cheques drawn upon them and so they were put to trouble many
times The history of note issuing banks in the early periods of banking
development is a long record of failures because they could not keep adequate
resources against the deposits When over long years experience it was found that
the business of note issue could not be discharged by the commercial banks, it
was finally handed over to the chief bank of the country the Central Bank in every
country of the world now the central bank has the sole right o note issue The
concentration of note
ADVANTAGES:
1. Uniformity In Note Circulation: It brings uniformity in the circulation of currency
2. Control Over Money Supply: The central bank is in a better position to exercise
control over the money supply in the country
3. Control Over Commercial Banks: The sole power to issue notes enables the
central bank to control the lending operations of the commercial banks
4. Public Confidence: The right of note issue is regulated by law Therefore
increases public confidence in the monetary system of the country
PRINCIPLES OF NOTE ISSUE:
 There are two principles of note issue, one is called the Currency Principle and the
other is named as Banking Principle Both these principles are contradictory to
each other.
(1). Currency Principle:

COMPOSED BY MR
KHAN
32 CAPITAL MARKETS IN PAKISTAN

 According to the currency principle, the central bank of the country should keep
100% gold for every note issued in other words, their should be full convertibility
for the amount of legal tender currency. It assumes full convertibility of notes.
 The advocates of this principle of note issue are of the view that the currency
under this system will expand or contract as it would have expanded or contracted
under the metallic money The currency principle assures maximum safety for the
notes Those who oppose this principle assert that the system no doubt gives
safety to the currency but it lacks elasticity The supply of notes is tied down to the
supply of gold available in the country This system also fails to take into
consideration the commercial banks power to create credit

(2). Banking Principle:


 According to this principle, there is no need to keep 100% gold or silver against
notes issued The notes issued should have a guarantee of convertibility into gold.
It is sufficient to keep only a certain percentage of total paper currency in the form
of gold and silver reserves. The notes issued in the country should be according to
the needs of trade and industry If at any time, there is an excess of notes issued to
the requirements of trade and industry, these will be returned to the bank of issue
for conversion.
MERITS:
 The principle of note issue has the merit that it provides the country with an
elastic currency The guarantee of convertibility also acts as a regulator of note
issue Since it does not require 100% metallic backing against the note issue, it is
therefore most economical principle .
DEMERITS:
 The demerit of this principle is the danger of over issue of notes possibility of
Inconvertibility of excess notes, loss of public confidence in the Currency and
monetary instability
METHODS OF NOTE ISSUE:
 Both the principles of note issue mentioned above have serious defects The
Monetary experts by coordinating the advantages of both the principles have

COMPOSED BY MR
KHAN
33 CAPITAL MARKETS IN PAKISTAN

evolved systems or methods of notes issue. The main systems of note issue
prevalent in afferent countries of the world are (1) Partial Fiduciary System (2)
Proportional Reserve (3)Minimum Reserve System
 These systems are now discussed in brief:

(1). FIXED FIDUCIARY SYSTEM:


 Under this system, a fixed amount is laid down by law which need to be covered
by government securities Notes issued in excess of this mount must be fully
backed by gold. England adopted this system in 1844 The system lacked elasticity
and was not capable of satisfying the needs of trade and industry. This system was
abandoned in 1913 in favour of proportional reserve system
(2). PROPORTIONAL RESERVE SYSTEM:
 Under this system the central bank is to keep a certain percentage of the total
notes issued in gold The remainder is to be covered by sound government
securities, trade bills etc. This system remained prevalent in USA Great Britain and
over a large part of the world. The proportional reserve system was also adopted
by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and it remained enforced til December 1965 This
system was abandoned in 1965 as it was rigid and lacked elasticity The State Bank
of Pakistan could not give guarantee for full convertibility of notes The State Bank
of Pakistan has now adopted a new system of note issue named as Minimum
Reserve System
(3). MINIMUM RESERVE SYSTEM:
 The proportional reserve system of note issue has been replaced by minimum
reserve system in Pakistan in 1965 According to this system the central bank is
required to keep only a minimum amount of reserve in the form of gold and
foreign exchange securities The central bank can expand note issue in accordance
with the volume of business activities without backing of gold The level of
currency backing by gold was fixed at Rs 1200 million in Pakistan. The mere of ha
system is that it ensures an adequate supply of currency to meet the business
demands of the country. In other words, the method of note issue is sufficiently
wlastic The demerit is that paper currency issued is practically inconvertible in this
System
