 Financial
Instruments
 DEBT INSTRUMENTS

generally have fixed returns

due to fixed interest rates.
 TREASURY BONDS AND
TREASURY BILLS

are issued by the Philippine

government. These bonds and bills
have usually low interest rates
and have very low risk of default
since the government assures that
these will be paid.
 CORPORATE BONDS
are issued by publicly listed
companies. These bonds usually have
higher interest rates than Treasury bonds.
However, these bonds are not risk free. If
the company which issued the bonds
goes bankrupt, the holder of the bonds
will no longer receive any return from
their investment and even their principal
investment can be wiped out.
 EQUITY INSTRUMENTS

generally have varied returns

based on the performance of the
issuing company. Returns from
equity instruments come from
either dividends or stock price
appreciation.

commercial loans to firms and
personal loans to individuals, and
purchase debt securities issued by
firms or government agencies.
 INSURANCE COMPANIES
Individuals purchase insurance
(life, property and casualty, and
health) protection with insurance
premiums. The insurance companies
pool these payments and invest the
proceeds in various securities until
the funds are needed to pay off
claims by policyholders.
 MUTUAL FUNDS
Mutual funds are owned by investment
companies which enable small investors to
enjoy the benefits of investing in a diversified
portfolio of securities purchased on their
behalf by professional investment managers.
When mutual funds use money from investors
to invest in newly issued debt or equity
securities, they finance new investment by
firms.

receive payments from
employees and invest the
proceeds on their behalf.
