Plunkett Research, Ltd.
A Short Investment & Securities Industry Glossary 10-K: An annual report filed by publicly held companies. It provides a comprehensive overview of the company's business and its finances. By law, it must contain specific information and follow a given form, the “Annual Report on Form 10-K.” The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requires that it be filed within 90 days after fiscal year end. However, these reports are often filed late due to extenuating circumstances. Variations of a 10-K are often filed to indicate amendments and changes. Most publicly held companies also publish an “annual report” that is not on Form 10-K. These annual reports are more informal and are frequently used by a company to enhance its image with customers, investors and industry peers. 12b-1 Fees: The percentage of a mutual fund’s assets used in the defraying of marketing and distribution costs. The fee amount is stated in the fund’s prospectus. Recently the SEC proposed that 12b1 fees over 0.25% be classed as a load. A true “no load” fund does not have a 12b-1 fee. 144a: A rule of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows for the sale of stock that is not subject to public company accounting rules or the Sarbanes Oxley regulations. However, the sale of section 144a stock is strictly limited to qualified buyers, those with at least $100 million in investable assets. Also, sale is limited to no more than 500 U.S.based buyers and 300 non-U.S. 401(k) Plan: An employer-sponsored retirement plan that enables employees to defer taxes on a portion of their salaries by earmarking that portion for the retirement plan. In a typical plan, employees may deposit up to 15% of a year's salary. The employer then matches a portion of the employee's deposit. A common employer match equals one-half of an employee's deposits of up to 6% of salary. In other words, if an employee deposits 6% of a $30,000 salary ($1,800), the employer would match one-half of that $1,800 deposit ($900). The employee would then have $1,800 + $900 in the savings plan = $2,700. The account will grow on a tax-deferred basis until the employee begins drawing money at retirement. It is important to note that the provisions of these plans vary widely from one employer to the next. Some employers make no matching deposit.
www.plunkettresearch.com
Some generous firms match 100% of qualified employee deposits. Not surprisingly, members of Congress have voted themselves one of the most generous savings plans in the nation, where the government matches 200% of their qualified deposits. 403(b) Plan: An employer-sponsored retirement plan that enables employees of universities, public schools and nonprofit organizations to defer taxes on a portion of their salaries by earmarking that portion for the retirement plan. See “401(k) Plan” for details. Acceleration Clause: A clause in a contract of debt, such as a mortgage, which causes the entire amount to become due upon the borrower's default. Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM): A mortgage that changes interest rates periodically to match a specific index. Adviser: An organization employed by a mutual fund to give advice on the fund’s investments (also called the “investment adviser”). AIM (Alternative Investment Market): AIM is a stock market, established by the London Stock Exchange, that lists smaller firms that face less stringent underwriting and listing requirements than stocks listed on the main London Stock Exchange (LSE). Alpha: A measure of the selection risk, or residual risk, of a mutual fund relative to the market. A positive alpha represents the extra return an investor receives for taking a risk rather than accepting the market return. In other words, it is the percentage by which a fund outperforms the market-based return estimate. Alternative Documentation Mortgage (Alt-A): An alternative method of documenting a loan file, often referred to as “alt doc” or “Alt-A,” that relies on unsubstantiated information provided by the borrower regarding personal income and assets, rather than positive proof such as income tax returns, W2 forms from employers, bank statements and investment account statements. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs): Certificates issued by a U.S. Depositary Bank to represent foreign shares held by a branch of the bank or a correspondent in the country. An ADR can stand
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
for one share, part of a share or a bundle of shares of a foreign corporation. The same currency and political and economic risks of the underlying foreign share are associated with the ADR. Prices are kept essentially identical through arbitrage. American Stock Exchange (AMEX): A stock exchange located in New York that is owned by its 800 members. Until 2005, it was owned by the NASD. Amortization through Equal Monthly Payments: A repayment method in which the amount borrowed is repaid gradually through regular monthly payments of principal and interest. During the first few years, most of each payment is applied toward the interest owed. During the final years of the loan, payment amounts are applied almost exclusively to the remaining principal. Annual Report: See “10-K (10K).” Annuitant: An investor in an annuity who is entitled to periodic payments for life or for a specific number of years based on the balance in that annuity. Annuity: A contract between an insurance company and an individual in which the company agrees to pay either fixed or variable income for a specified period of time. The payment from the company may be a one-time lump sum, or may consist of monthly payments for the life of the individual. The total amount of the payments will be based on the amount deposited in the annuity by the individual, plus the earnings on those deposits over the life of the contract. The investor may make deposits on a regular basis, such as monthly, or may make a large lump sum deposit when establishing the account. The account's earnings are income tax-deferred until the investor begins withdrawing money. Antitrust Legislation: A set of laws that foster a competitive environment preventing unreasonable restraint of trade or unfair trade practices such as price-fixing. In the United States, antitrust laws originated with the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. APAC: Asia Pacific Advisory Committee. A multicountry committee representing the Asia and Pacific region. Arbitrage: An attempt to profit from differences in the price of one security that is traded on multiple
www.plunkettresearch.com
markets or in different forms. For example, index arbitrage is based on temporary discrepancies between the prices of stocks comprising an index, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 index, and the price of a futures contract on that index. By buying either the underlying stocks or the futures contract and selling the other, may be able to profit on the difference between the two. Ask Price: The price at which someone is willing to sell a stock. Asset Turnover: Net sales divided by total assets. Asset-backed Securities: Securities backed by notes or pools of assets like auto loans, student loans, credit cards, royalties, insurance and receivables. Assumable Mortgage (Assumable Loan): An existing mortgage that can be assumed by a future purchaser of a piece of real estate. Auction Rate Security (Auction-Rate Security): An auction rate security is a debt instrument often issued by government agencies (such as port authorities or water districts), cities and hospital districts. Instead of carrying a fixed interest rate, the rate on the debt is reset on a continuing basis by auctioning off the debt to new owners every seven to 35 days. Baby Boomer: Generally refers to people born in the U.S. and Western Europe from 1946 to 1964. In the U.S., the initial number of Baby Boomers totaled about 78 million. The term evolved to include the children of soldiers and war industry workers who were involved in World War II. Back-End Load: A sales charge applied when the investor exits a mutual fund. Back-Office: Generally considered to include such areas as accounting, human resources, call centers, financial transaction processing. A back-office application is a software program designed to handle back-office tasks. Also, see “Business Process Outsourcing (BPO).” Barriers to Outsourcing: Forms of resistance to outsourcing, which may include loss of control, quality issues, flexibility and customer and labor backlash.

Basis Point: One 100th of 1%. Benchmarking: The procedure of measuring a process or practice against those of other companies in the same industry. Beta: A measure of the risk of a stock relative to the market. A beta between 0 and 1 represents a likely price change of that percentage above or below the market change. For example, a beta of .6 means the stock price is likely to move up or down 60% of the market change. Bid Price: The price that someone is willing to pay for a stock.
www.plunkettresearch.com
Goldman Sachs is often credited for popularizing the term; the report suggested that by 2050, BRIC economies will likely outshine those countries which are currently the richest in the world. Broker/Dealer (Broker-Dealer): A firm that is licensed to buy and sell mutual fund shares and other securities with the public. B-to-B, or B2B: See “Business-to-Business.” B-to-C, or B2C: See “Business-to-Consumer.” B-to-E, or B2E: See “Business-to-Employee.” B-to-G, or B2G: See “Business-to-Government.”

These firms are Deloitte & Touche, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young and KPMG. Blanket Mortgage: A mortgage covering at least two pieces of real estate as security for the same mortgage. Blue Sky Laws: A body of state laws governing registration and distribution of securities. All 50 states and the District of Columbia regulate mutual funds. Bond: A debt instrument of a government unit or a corporation, on which it promises to pay a fixed (or occasionally variable) rate of interest for a specified length of time and to repay the debt on a specified date. (Most bonds may also be “called,” i.e., paid off prior to the specified date.) Bond Fund: A mutual fund that invests primarily in bonds and other fixed-income securities. BPO: See “Business Process Outsourcing (BPO).” Branding: A marketing strategy that places a focus on the brand name of a product, service or firm in order to increase the brand's market share, increase sales, establish credibility, improve satisfaction, raise the profile of the firm and increase profits.

Bull Market: A market on a consistent rising trend. Business Process Management (BPM): Refers to tools and processes that automate, monitor and accelerate business functions (processes). BPM software, for example, can be used to seamlessly connect key employees to key software applications in an automated fashion. BPM may automate such routine support functions as human resources tasks, accounting tasks and back-office tasks. Business Process Outsourcing (BPO): The process of hiring another company to handle business activities. BPO is one of the fastest-growing segments in the offshoring sector. Services include human resources management, billing and purchasing and call centers, as well as many types of customer service or marketing activities, depending on the industry involved. Also, see “Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO).” Business-to-Business: An organization focused on selling products, services or data to commercial customers rather than individual consumers. Also known as B2B. Business-to-Consumer: An organization focused on selling products, services or data to individual consumers rather than commercial customers. Also known as B2C.

It may be highly leveraged, using debt to enable the SIV to own multi-billion dollar pools of investments. Structured Note: Structured notes are investment units that have been packaged by banks or other issuers to combine features of stocks, bonds, commodities, indexes, currency futures and or options. The issuers put a time limit on the notes, typically from one to ten years. The issuers generate fee income from these notes.

Umbrella Partnership REIT (UPREIT): A real estate trust in which the partners of existing partnerships and a newly formed REIT become partners in a new entity called the operating partnership. The existing partners contribute property interests and the REIT contributes cash (typically proceeds from a public offering of stock). Underwriter: The issuer of a publicly-held security, a loan or an insurance policy. Also see “Underwriting.” Underwriting: In lending, the reviewing of a loan file to determine the applicant's ability to meet the loan obligation.

Treasury Bills (T-Bills): U.S. government bonds with maturity dates of 52 weeks or less.
Value Added Tax (VAT): A tax that imposes a levy on businesses at every stage of manufacturing based on the value it adds to a product. Each business in the supply chain pays its own VAT and is subsequently repaid by the next link down the chain; hence, a VAT is ultimately paid by the consumer, being the last link in the supply chain, making it comparable to a sales tax. Generally, VAT only applies to goods bought for consumption within a given country; export goods are exempt from VAT, and purchasers from other countries taking goods back home may apply for a VAT refund.
Treasury Bonds: U.S. government debt with maturities from 10 to 30 years. Treasury Notes: U.S. government debt with maturities between two years and 10 years.

The annuity's value rises and falls with that of the underlying portfolio securities. Investors who feel they can get superior returns from the stocks and
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
funds held by the account may prefer this very popular type of annuity. However, the investor assumes the market risk and often pays high management or sales fees. There are multiple styles of variable annuities that attempt to match the investor's age, financial circumstances and tolerance for risk. The investor may make deposits on a regular basis, such as monthly, or may make a large lump sum deposit when establishing the account. The account's earnings are income tax-deferred until the investor begins withdrawing money. Variable Life Insurance: A policy that can combine protection against premature death with a savings account that can be invested in a variety of stock, bond and money market mutual funds, at the policyholder’s direction. The policy's value varies to some degree with that of the underlying portfolio securities. Investors who feel they can get superior returns from the stocks and funds held by the account may prefer this type of policy. However, the investor assumes the market risk and often pays high management or sales fees. Venture Capital: An investment in a new business, usually with the understanding that the company will share future profits. VIX: The CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange) Volatility Index. It measures the implied, annualized volatility at any given time of the stocks that make up the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 index of stocks. It is reported in percentage points per annum. The VIX is a measure of market risk and investor sentiment. Volatility: Fluctuation in value or price. An investment with high volatility may pose higher risk. Examples include newly issued stocks in IPOs (initial public offerings) and investments in commodities. World Trade Organization (WTO): One of the only globally active international organizations dealing with the trade rules between nations. Its goal is to assist the free flow of trade goods, ensuring a smooth, predictable supply of goods to help raise the quality of life of member citizens. Members form consensus decisions that are then ratified by their respective parliaments. The WTO’s conflict resolution process generally emphasizes interpreting existing commitments and agreements, and discovers how to ensure trade policies to conform to those agreements, with the ultimate aim of avoiding military or political conflict.

Tables of industry data and statistics used in this book include the latest numbers available at the time of printing, generally through the end of 2008. In a few cases, the only complete data available was for earlier years.
x
We have used exhaustive efforts to locate and fairly present accurate and complete data. However, when using this book or any other source for business and industry information, the reader should use caution and diligence by conducting further research where it seems appropriate. We wish you success in your endeavors, and we trust that your experience with this book will be both satisfactory and productive.
Whatever your purpose for researching the investment and securities field, you’ll find this book to be a valuable guide. Nonetheless, as is true with all resources, this volume has limitations that the reader should be aware of: x
Financial data and other corporate information can change quickly. A book of this type can be no more current than the data that was available as of the time of editing. Consequently, the financial picture, management and ownership of the firm(s) you are studying may have changed since the date of this book. For example, this almanac includes the most up-to-date sales figures and profits available to the editors as of late-2009. That means that we have typically used corporate financial data as of mid-2009.
x
Corporate mergers, acquisitions and downsizing are occurring at a very rapid rate. Such events may have created significant change, subsequent to the publishing of this book, within a company you are studying.
x
Some of the companies in THE INVESTMENT 350 are so large in scope and in variety of business endeavors conducted within a parent organization, that we have been unable to completely list all subsidiaries, affiliations, divisions and activities within a firm’s corporate structure.
x
This volume is intended to be a general guide to a vast industry. That means that researchers should look to this book for an overview and, when conducting in-depth research, should contact the specific corporations or industry associations in question for the very latest changes and data.

THE INVESTMENT 350
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
Ranks: Industry Group Code: An NAIC code used to group companies within like segments. (See Chapter 4 for a list of codes.) Ranks Within This Company’s Industry Group: Ranks, within this firm’s segment only, for annual sales and annual profits, with 1 being the highest rank. Business Activities: A grid arranged into six major industry categories and several sub-categories. A “Y” indicates that the firm operates within the sub-category. A complete Index by Industry is included in the beginning of Chapter 4. Types of Business: A listing of the primary types of business specialties conducted by the firm. Brands/Divisions/Affiliations: Major brand names, operating divisions or subsidiaries of the firm, as well as major corporate affiliations—such as another firm that owns a significant portion of the company’s stock. A complete Index by Subsidiaries, Brand Names and Selected Affiliations is in the back of the book. Contacts: The names and titles up to 27 top officers of the company are listed, including human resources contacts. Address: The firm’s full headquarters address, the headquarters telephone, plus toll-free and fax numbers where available. Also provided is the World Wide Web site address. Financials: Annual Sales (2009 or the latest fiscal year available to the editors, plus up to four previous years): These are stated in thousands of dollars (add three zeros if you want the full number). This figure represents consolidated worldwide sales from all operations. 2009 figures may be estimates or may be for only part of the year—partial year figures are appropriately footnoted. Annual Profits (2009 or the latest fiscal year available to the editors, plus up to four previous years): These are stated in thousands of dollars (add three zeros if you want the full number). This figure represents consolidated, after-tax net profit from all operations. 2009 figures may be estimates or may be for only part of the year—partial year figures are appropriately footnoted. Stock Ticker, International Exchange, Parent Company: When available, the unique stock market symbol used to identify this firm’s common stock for
www.plunkettresearch.com
trading and tracking purposes is indicated. Where appropriate, this field may contain “private” or “subsidiary” rather than a ticker symbol. If the firm is a publicly-held company headquartered outside of the U.S., its international ticker and exchange are given. If the firm is a subsidiary, its parent company is listed. Total Number of Employees: The approximate total number of employees, worldwide, as of the end of 2009 (or the latest data available to the editors). Apparent Salaries/Benefits: (The following descriptions generally apply to U.S. employers only.) A “Y” in appropriate fields indicates “Yes.” Due to wide variations in the manner in which corporations report benefits to the U.S. Government’s regulatory bodies, not all plans will have been uncovered or correctly evaluated during our effort to research this data. Also, the availability to employees of such plans will vary according to the qualifications that employees must meet to become eligible. For example, some benefit plans may be available only to salaried workers—others only to employees who work more than 1,000 hours yearly. Benefits that are available to employees of the main or parent company may not be available to employees of the subsidiaries. In addition, employers frequently alter the nature and terms of plans offered. NOTE: Generally, employees covered by wealthbuilding benefit plans do not fully own (“vest in”) funds contributed on their behalf by the employer until as many as five years of service with that employer have passed. All pension plans are voluntary—that is, employers are not obligated to offer pensions. Pension Plan: The firm offers a pension plan to qualified employees. In this case, in order for a “Y” to appear, the editors believe that the employer offers a defined benefit or cash balance pension plan (see discussions below).The type and generosity of these plans vary widely from firm to firm. Caution: Some employers refer to plans as “pension” or “retirement” plans when they are actually 401(k) savings plans that require a contribution by the employee. x Defined Benefit Pension Plans: Pension plans that do not require a contribution from the employee are infrequently offered. However, a few companies, particularly larger employers in high-profit-margin industries, offer defined benefit pension plans where the employee is guaranteed to receive a set pension benefit upon retirement. The amount of the benefit is determined by the years of service with the
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
company and the employee’s salary during the later years of employment. The longer a person works for the employer, the higher the retirement benefit. These defined benefit plans are funded entirely by the employer. The benefits, up to a reasonable limit, are guaranteed by the Federal Government’s Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. These plans are not portable—if you leave the company, you cannot transfer your benefits into a different plan. Instead, upon retirement you will receive the benefits that vested during your service with the company. If your employer offers a pension plan, it must give you a summary plan description within 90 days of the date you join the plan. You can also request a summary annual report of the plan, and once every 12 months you may request an individual benefit statement accounting of your interest in the plan. x Defined Contribution Plans: These are quite different. They do not guarantee a certain amount of pension benefit. Instead, they set out circumstances under which the employer will make a contribution to a plan on your behalf. The most common example is the 401(k) savings plan. Pension benefits are not guaranteed under these plans. x Cash Balance Pension Plans: These plans were recently invented. These are hybrid plans—part defined benefit and part defined contribution. Many employers have converted their older defined benefit plans into cash balance plans. The employer makes deposits (or credits a given amount of money) on the employee’s behalf, usually based on a percentage of pay. Employee accounts grow based on a predetermined interest benchmark, such as the interest rate on Treasury Bonds. There are some advantages to these plans, particularly for younger workers: a) The benefits, up to a reasonable limit, are guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. b) Benefits are portable—they can be moved to another plan when the employee changes companies. c) Younger workers and those who spend a shorter number of years with an employer may receive higher benefits than they would under a traditional defined benefit plan. ESOP Stock Plan (Employees’ Stock Ownership Plan): This type of plan is in wide use. Typically, the plan borrows money from a bank and uses those funds to purchase a large block of the corporation’s stock. The corporation makes contributions to the plan over a period of time, and the stock purchase
www.plunkettresearch.com
loan is eventually paid off. The value of the plan grows significantly as long as the market price of the stock holds up. Qualified employees are allocated a share of the plan based on their length of service and their level of salary. Under federal regulations, participants in ESOPs are allowed to diversify their account holdings in set percentages that rise as the employee ages and gains years of service with the company. In this manner, not all of the employee’s assets are tied up in the employer’s stock. Savings Plan, 401(k): Under this type of plan, employees make a tax-deferred deposit into an account. In the best plans, the company makes annual matching donations to the employees’ accounts, typically in some proportion to deposits made by the employees themselves. A good plan will match onehalf of employee deposits of up to 6% of wages. For example, an employee earning $30,000 yearly might deposit $1,800 (6%) into the plan. The company will match one-half of the employee’s deposit, or $900. The plan grows on a tax-deferred basis, similar to an IRA. A very generous plan will match 100% of employee deposits. However, some plans do not call for the employer to make a matching deposit at all. Other plans call for a matching contribution to be made at the discretion of the firm’s board of directors. Actual terms of these plans vary widely from firm to firm. Generally, these savings plans allow employees to deposit as much as 15% of salary into the plan on a tax-deferred basis. However, the portion that the company uses to calculate its matching deposit is generally limited to a maximum of 6%. Employees should take care to diversify the holdings in their 401(k) accounts, and most people should seek professional guidance or investment management for their accounts. Stock Purchase Plan: Qualified employees may purchase the company’s common stock at a price below its market value under a specific plan. Typically, the employee is limited to investing a small percentage of wages in this plan. The discount may range from 5 to 15%. Some of these plans allow for deposits to be made through regular monthly payroll deductions. However, new accounting rules for corporations, along with other factors, are leading many companies to curtail these plans—dropping the discount allowed, cutting the maximum yearly stock purchase or otherwise making the plans less generous or appealing. Profit Sharing: Qualified employees are awarded an annual amount equal to some portion of a company’s profits. In a very generous plan, the pool of money awarded to employees would be 15% of
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
profits. Typically, this money is deposited into a long-term retirement account. Caution: Some employers refer to plans as “profit sharing” when they are actually 401(k) savings plans. True profit sharing plans are rarely offered. Highest Executive Salary: The highest executive salary paid, typically a 2008 amount (or the latest year available to the editors) and typically paid to the Chief Executive Officer. Highest Executive Bonus: The apparent bonus, if any, paid to the above person. Second Highest Executive Salary: The nexthighest executive salary paid, typically a 2008 amount (or the latest year available to the editors) and typically paid to the President or Chief Operating Officer. Second Highest Executive Bonus: The apparent bonus, if any, paid to the above person. Other Thoughts: Apparent Women Officers or Directors: It is difficult to obtain this information on an exact basis, and employers generally do not disclose the data in a public way. However, we have indicated what our best efforts reveal to be the apparent number of women who either are in the posts of corporate officers or sit on the board of directors. There is a wide variance from company to company. Hot Spot for Advancement for Women/Minorities: A “Y” in appropriate fields indicates “Yes.” These are firms that appear either to have posted a substantial number of women and/or minorities to high posts or that appear to have a good record of going out of their way to recruit, train, promote and retain women or minorities. (See the Index of Hot Spots For Women and Minorities in the back of the book.) This information may change frequently and can be difficult to obtain and verify. Consequently, the reader should use caution and conduct further investigation where appropriate. Growth Plans/ Special Features: Listed here are observations regarding the firm’s strategy, hiring plans, plans for growth and product development, along with general information regarding a company’s business and prospects. Locations: A “Y” in the appropriate field indicates “Yes.” Primary locations outside of the headquarters, categorized by regions of the United States and by international locations. A complete index by locations is also in the front of this chapter.

1) Investment & Securities Industry Overview After an extremely turbulent 2008 and 2009, the global investment industry was greatly altered by the time 2010 began. Giant investment bank Merrill Lynch had been forced into a merger with Bank of America, and Lehman Brothers was allowed to fail completely. Global banking and investment industry leader RBS was bailed out by government capital to the extent that is became controlled by the UK government. Insurance industry giant AIG was bailed out to a similar extent by the American government. The world became familiar with phrases like “toxic assets,” and American taxpayers, whether they liked it or not, backed emergency plans and market support programs with acronyms like TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) and TALF (Term Asset-Backed Lending Facility). By the end of 2009, the U.S. government had created initiatives based on corporate bailouts, asset purchases, emergency lending and financial market support totaling more than $2 trillion. These were only a few of the massive changes wrought by the upheaval of the global financial crisis that began quietly in the
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
late summer of 2007 and roared into a full financial hurricane in 2008. Asset values plummeted at first, and trillions of dollars in financial worth were wiped out worldwide. Markets posted a spectacular rise in 2009, but in most cases did not reach former, 2008 peaks. Mutual fund assets in the U.S. totaled about $9.5 trillion as of November 2008, down from about $10.9 trillion one year earlier. By October 2009, they were at a much improved $10.6 trillion. About 50 million Americans participate in 401(k) investment plans at their places of work, while tens of millions own stocks, bonds and annuities in their individual accounts. U.S. retirement account assets totaled about $14.0 trillion at the end of 2008, down 22% from one year earlier, according to ICI, the Investment Company Institute (www.ici.org). The entire world was deeply affected by the financial collapse. According to ICI, global mutual fund assets were $26.15 trillion at their peak in the fourth quarter of 2007. By the end of 2008, they had plunged to $18.9 trillion. By the second quarter of 2009, the value had improved to $20.34 trillion. From 2003 through the end of 2007, total household net worth in America (including the net value of homes and investments) climbed from $50 trillion to a peak of $65 trillion. (These amounts include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, pension accounts, life insurance, durable goods and household real estate.) By the third quarter of 2009, the amount was only $53.4 trillion. By the end of the painful 2008-2009 period, the investment industry, on a global basis, had been through losses, layoffs, scandals, bankruptcies, forced mergers, government intervention, bailouts and/or disappointments on a scale not seen in decades. Adding insult to injury was the stunning revelation in late 2008 that an investment manager in New York named Madoff was running an alleged scam that involved billions of dollars in losses to investors. Unfortunately, these investors included many charitable foundations, banks, colleges and pension plans, in addition to wealthy individuals, hedge funds and other sophisticated investors. How could such sophisticated investors be so culpable? How could regulators completely miss the fact that this was probably going on for years? Last, but not least, how could someone who was widely known and respected turn out to be evil enough to perpetrate such a fraud? The whole world wonders, and the reputation of the entire financial industry has been hurt as a result. The timing couldn’t have been worse, as investor confidence was already at an
www.plunkettresearch.com
extremely low point. Numerous other smaller, but still significant, financial scams were uncovered throughout 2008 and 2009. As the financial crisis unfolded, governments around the globe issued emergency funding to leading banks and investment banks. At one time, virtually all stock market indexes had been down by as much as 40% to 60%, depending on geographic location. A handful of extremely clever large investors made vast profits by skillful, courageous, contrarian investing during the turmoil. Today, the investment sector as a whole faces significant challenges over the mid term. Government scrutiny will be intense while the industry attempts to reignite investors’ appetites for IPOs and bonds, as well as riskier investments such as securitized debts, venture capital funds and hedge funds. IPOs were nearly nonexistent for several months, but a modest market for newly issued stocks had re-emerged by the end of 2009, led by China. The shakeup of the financial industry led many top investment bankers to leave major banks, voluntarily or not. Boutique and second-tier investment banks saw the shakeup as an opportunity, and they grabbed both clients and star employees from their large competitors. Investment banks such as Lazard, Evercore, Cowen and others turned chaos into opportunity. Several major corporate clients sought the relative calm of smaller investment banks during the turmoil. Brokerage companies, such as First New York Securities, took advantage of this unique opportunity to hire top traders who were formerly with the bigger firms. A complete rebound of the banking and investment system will take a long and trying time. Nonetheless, by the beginning of 2010, economic growth had fired up once again in much of the world. China and India each posted significant growth in GDP for 2009, and the U.S. and other fullydeveloped economies appeared to have climbed out of the depths of the recession. By the end of 2009, Wall Street had engineered a surprisingly strong recovery from the meltdown. Many companies were hiring large numbers of employees—a sharp contrast to the layoffs of 2008. (By one estimate, more than 250,000 U.S. financial sector jobs were cut in 2008.) Business had rebounded comfortably. A few financial companies, most notably American investment bank Goldman Sachs, posted tremendous profits for 2009. The question remains whether serious growth in IPOs, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and other business will ensue in 2010-2011.

Multiple factors were involved, many of which began as long ago as 2001, including: x An era of loose lending for business loans. x Incredibly easy credit for consumer loans, including mortgages, automobile loans and credit cards. x Exceptionally low interest rates. x A multi-year, worldwide economic boom that encouraged risk-taking by borrowers and lenders alike. x A multi-year, worldwide jump in market prices for stocks, houses, commercial real estate, companies and commodities that further encouraged risk-taking and easy lending. x Booming global markets for manufactured goods and for commodities such as oil created immense cash reserves in emerging nations, and much of those reserves were eagerly invested in debt instruments of all types, further fueling lending. x Investors in debt-backed securities were lured into a false sense of security by overly optimistic ratings placed on those securities. Many very highly rated mortgage packages turned out to be of little value. x Investment banks, such as Lehman Brothers, were overextended, operating with very high leverage. Typically, they were holding assets of about 30 times their total level of capital. That means that they were borrowing heavily, at a rate of about $97 for every $3 of capital, and that a downward turn in asset values could quickly have devastating effects on their balance sheets. x A disastrous change in accounting rules known as “mark to market” forced banks and investment companies to write down the value of debt instruments based on their ability to resell them on the current market. This rule disregarded whether the debtors were current on their payments, and forced a write down of many accounts in good standing. This devastated the balance sheets of the banks. Investments, banking and financial services of all types have become globalized industries in recent decades, in the same way that the automobile, pharmaceutical, technology, energy and consumer goods industries have globalized. The globalization was fueled by four factors: 1) the availability of global electronic networks for distribution of funds and real-time information; 2) the easing of local regulations on ownership of investment and banking
www.plunkettresearch.com
firms by foreign entities; 3) the opportunity to serve the needs of multinational corporations; and 4) the increasing attractiveness, from a banker’s point of view, of business assets and rising household wealth in emerging economies. New business opportunities were sought out globally by major banks and investment firms, especially in such booming markets as China and India. What’s next in the world of banking, credit and investments? Here are a few emerging trends to watch for: 1) Greatly increased regulatory oversight will restrict investment companies and lenders of all types. 2) An era of much lower risk-taking by traditional lenders has begun that will last for years. 3) The creation of higher-risk loans and investments will be taken over to some extent by hedge funds and private equity funds, accelerating a trend that has already been in place for some time, and replacing some of the former roles of commercial banks and investment banks. 4) Alternative lending sources will be used to a growing degree by small businesses and some consumers who are unable to get loans elsewhere. For example, peer-to-peer lending companies are growing through enabling lending by and between members of lending clubs, or between friends and family. Virgin Money USA, for example, makes it easy for reliable small business owners to set up loans from friends. Prosper.com enables borrowers to apply for three-year, fixed-rate personal loans online by connecting borrowers with individual lenders. On the other end of the spectrum, small businesses that are unable to obtain or renew bank loans will turn to high-cost “factoring,” a method of borrowing against their receivables. 5) Regulatory oversight will increase, and regulatory agencies such as America’s SEC, may get an overhaul. Investment companies, banks and insurance companies will brace for much higher levels of scrutiny. Source: Plunkett Research, Ltd. The term Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) is used to describe a national government’s pool of assets available for investment. Some nations that are major exporters, such as the oil and gas exporting nations of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Russia, have earned massive amounts of excess capital, and their SWFs have become a major influence in the investment world of today. SWFs, since they are
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
under governmental control, may be subject to cronyism and mismanagement. By the beginning of 2008, the world’s SWFs totaled about $3 trillion, according to estimates by analysts at Monitor Group. By early 2009, that amount had dropped to $1.8 trillion as a result of poor returns during the financial crisis. 2) Government Bail Outs and Increased Control of Banks and Investment Firms In order to understand the current states of major banking and investment firms worldwide, a little recent history is in order. As 2007 came to a close, it became more and more obvious that many of the world’s leading banks were in need of additional capital to shore up their finances due to losses on subprime debts, commercial real estate, leveraged buyouts and other risky investments. As a result, major stakes in many firms were put on the market, often snapped up by sovereign wealth firms in the Middle East or major Asian investment institutions. For example, Citigroup sold a 4.9% stake to the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority for $7.5 billion. UBS sold a 9% stake to an investment arm of the government of Singapore and to a Mideast investor. Soon, the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 left governments with little choice but to prop up leading commercial banks and investment banks with additional capital. This quickly resulted in a partial nationalization (that is, government ownership and/or control) of a long list of the world’s leading banks. The methods of government investment, control or ownership varied widely from one nation to the next. These bailouts of banks via loans and injection of capital were crafted quickly and under duress, in the hopes of avoiding a run on banks and a further meltdown of the world’s financial network. In the small island nation of Iceland, perhaps the single hardest-hit country, all of the leading banks were taken over completely by the government. Elsewhere, the governments of The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg joined forces to rescue the operations of financial giant Fortis. In the U.K., the government quickly moved to purchase major stakes in the most important banks, including the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), and the two firms of Lloyds TSB and HBOS which merged in November 2008. Top executives were forced out as part of the deals, and tough demands were made in exchange for loans and recapitalization. Worldwide, even in the safe banking haven of Switzerland, governments made loans, capital, deposit guarantees and loan repayment guarantees
www.plunkettresearch.com
available to prop up banks to the tune of trillions of dollars. Such intense government activity and investment will lead to much higher levels of regulation and regulatory oversight than in the past. It will take years for business to return to a somewhat normal state, and the total costs and benefits of heightened government investment in banks remains to be seen. Losses were massive at many major financial firms in 2008, and investors and parties to investment agreements doubted the stability of leading investment banks and commercial banks. Many people thought it was vital that government treasuries step in and guarantee the viability of these companies. Despite these efforts, credit remained very tight, IPOs came to a standstill and many private equity deals fell apart due to lack of financing. In 2009, major banks and investment firms saw some relief as the global economic crisis eased and their restructuring paid off. At Morgan Stanley, a loss of $159 million was reported for the second quarter of 2009, followed by a gain of $757 million in the third quarter. Most notably, Goldman Sachs’ third quarter revenues reached $12.37 billion with net earnings of $3.19 billion. By the end of 2009, each of America’s top four banking firms had made plans to repay tens of billions of dollars in federal bailout monies they had received under a program known as TARP. These banks had sold additional shares of stock in order to recapitalize and reduce their need for government backing. This is an important step on the road back to normalcy. 3) Increased Regulation and Government Scrutiny Loom Over the Financial Industry In the U.S. and Europe, one rapid result of the global financial crisis was a cry in the halls of government for greatly increased government supervision and revamped regulation of the financial industry, from banking to insurance to the investment sector. Although the details were far from settled as 2010 began, all aspects of the financial services sector are undoubtedly going to face significant regulatory changes. In the U.S., the House of Representatives had passed a sweeping financial regulation bill by the end of 2009, and similar legislation was pending in the Senate. Proposals include broad powers for the government to monitor systemic financial risk and to intervene where it deems necessary. For example, it could require a bank to shrink in size if the government believes that the bank is posing financial
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
risks. Another proposal is the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency that would oversee and regulate the issuance of things like mortgages, credit cards and personal loans. Special taxes on certain stock trades and option trades are being considered. These proposals are highly contentious and are the subject of much lobbying and jockeying for position. Unfortunately, the outcome could easily err on the side of too much new oversight enforced by inefficient new bureaucracies. 4) Giant Mergers Change the Face of Global Banking and Investment Firms The financial crisis brought about quick mergers and acquisitions of immense proportions, leaving a stalwart few still standing among global banks. In the U.S., Bank of America Corp., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Citigroup and Wells Fargo are the Big Four in bank holding companies. These are the four companies that can boast of total assets of more than $1 trillion each. During the financial crisis, non-bank companies sought and obtained status as bank holding companies in order to qualify for federal backing. These firms included investment banks Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley, as well as insurance giant Metlife, Inc. 2008 was a year that rocked the U.S. banking and investment industry as unprecedented mergers took place. First, J.P. Morgan Chase (Chase) acquired investment bank Bear Stearns for $1.1 billion in May. Then in September, Bank of America agreed to acquire investment bank Merrill Lynch for $47 billion. That same month, Chase took over the giant savings bank Washington Mutual (WaMu) after U.S. federal regulators seized WaMu’s assets. Next, in a highly contested takeover, Wells Fargo acquired Wachovia for $12 billion. Wachovia was initially to be acquired by Citigroup in a U.S. governmentbacked transaction brokered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), but instead went to Wells Fargo which made a private bid. During 2009, 140 FDIC-insured institutions failed, compared to 25 during 2008. Overall, the FDIC insured 8,195 banking institutions as of June 2009, down from 8,615 in mid-2007 and an all-time high of 9,066 in 2004. Further consolidation of the banking industry will occur. In particular, watch for regional banks to be snapped up. Sovereign Bankcorp, an important regional firm in Philadelphia, was acquired in October 2008 by Banco Santander of Spain. On the international front, the largest bank acquisition in history was agreed to in October 2007,
www.plunkettresearch.com
when Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) along with Spain’s Santander and Belgium’s insurance and banking giant Fortis cooperated in the acquisition of banking giant ABN Amro for $101 billion. Their timing couldn’t have been worse, and the price they paid was steep, both in terms of the amount paid for ABN Amro and in the resulting effect on Fortis and RBS. As part of the acquisition, Santander, a stronger bank than most, took control of ABN’s Latin America divisions with some success, while ABN Amro’s main banking business, split between RBS and Fortis, has been devastated by the recent credit crisis. The result was Fortis’ ultimate demise and RBS being forced to accept a massive injection of capital from the U.K. government, which made the government a controlling shareholder of the firm. Meanwhile, the collapse of the banking arm of Fortis brought about another merger of staggering proportions. In September 2008, Fortis received an emergency capital injection of roughly $15.2 billion from the governments of The Netherlands, Luxemburg and Belgium, in exchange for a 49% interest in the firm. In early October 2008, the bank faced a capital crisis to the extent that it was no longer able to operate. The Dutch government seized its operations in that country, and the Belgian government arranged a $20 billion sale of what was left of Fortis to French banking giant BNP Paribas, which is now the largest bank in Europe based on deposits. A major U.S. financial institution that was not bailed out by the federal government was investment bank Lehman Brothers. The firm declared bankruptcy in September 2008 due to its heavy involvement in subprime and prime mortgages along with its immense liabilities in credit default swaps, among other problems. After Lehman’s bankruptcy, U.K. banking giant Barclays announced its intention to buy Lehman’s U.S. capital markets division for a mere $1.75 billion while Japan’s Nomura Holdings agreed to purchase a number of Lehman’s European, Middle Eastern and Asian assets. In addition, private equity companies Bain Capital and Hellman & Friedman planned to spend $2.15 billion on Lehman’s money management concerns, including Neuberger Berman, a lucrative asset management subsidiary. 5) Aging Populations, Baby Boomers Create Opportunities/U.S. Pension Accounts Top $14 Trillion According to the Investment Company Institute, Americans held $14 trillion in retirement and pension
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
assets at the end of 2008, including individual IRA, employer-sponsored pension or savings plans and plans for government employees. (These numbers do not include life insurance plans, expected benefits from Social Security, privately-held annuities or certain other types of retirement savings.) Americans aged 55 years or older are the fastest-growing segment of the population. 2006 marked the year that the first Baby Boomers turned 60, meaning that many will take early retirement. By the year 2020, the total number of Americans over age 65 will be the highest in the history of the nation, at about 55 million, up from about 20 million 50 years earlier in 1970. The aging of populations in the U.S., Japan, Russia, South Korea and many other nations in Europe and Asia will create both challenges and opportunities for the investment industry. For example, as large segments of the population age and retire, they will rely more and more on asset management and retirement products for income, rather than their previous salaries. In America, Japan, Europe and elsewhere, there will be huge new opportunities to provide investment products tailored to retired Baby Boomers. The popularity of annuities is but one example. In fact, nations like Japan, with extremely high personal savings rates and rapidly aging populations, will be particularly attractive to firms that sell investment products. Large amounts of money will be rolling over each year from savings plans at work, such as 401(k)s, into individual retirement accounts as American workers retire. Retirees rolling over these funds will have specific needs, and investment firms will want to anticipate proactively the goals and desires of people in this market. After the extreme disappointments suffered by older investors in 2008 and the vast, $50 billion investment fraud alleged in the Madoff investment firm scandal in the U.S., the biggest challenge facing firms that market investments to retirees will be the need to create a feeling of safety, honesty and reliability. Retirees and those soon to retire were hit hard, and millions of them are rightly concerned about their financial condition. Many of them saw their dreams crushed in 2008, due to a combination of plummeting investment values and very low home values. Part of the investment account challenge lies in defined benefit pension plans, which are rarely offered to workers any more but remain obligations of employers that offered them in the past. These plans must pay a guaranteed retirement income to workers who qualify. Employers cover these
www.plunkettresearch.com
obligations by setting aside investment funds that are assumed to earn enough to cover these pension obligations. However, the market declines of 2008 left many such plans woefully underfunded. Here again, America’s aging population has good reason to be nervous about their standard of living during retirement years. Much of upcoming 401(k) rollover funds will go into IRAs where a wide variety of investment options is available. IRAs already totaled about $2.4 trillion in assets in the U.S. at the end of 2008. Some retirees will want to actively manage their own portfolios. Others will want to enter into new agreements with asset managers who understand the unique needs and concerns of aging seniors. Unfortunately, the elderly can be extremely susceptible to investment frauds and bad advice, and they are sometimes sold financial products that are completely inappropriate. Financial planners who cater to aging Baby Boomers should see a significant upturn in business, especially those planners who can create a sense of safety and security for their clients. Vanguard and Fidelity are among investment funds that have been particularly proactive in designing new products and services for this market. Like Vanguard, many firms see the need to position themselves as a place where retirees can seek competent advice. Another leading company, Fidelity, has launched a free Fidelity Retirement Income Advisor service with great success. Vanguard, Fidelity and other firms have recently introduced mutual funds that are designed to use asset allocation schemes in an attempt to provide an average annual stream of income of a given amount over a set number of years. The efforts include an attempt to increase the annual payout by an amount equal to the rate of inflation. The term “Baby Boomer” generally refers to people born from 1946 to 1964. It evolved to include the children of soldiers and war industry workers who were involved in World War II. When those veterans and workers returned to civilian life, they started or added to their families in large numbers. As a result, the Baby Boom generation is one of the largest demographic segments in the U.S. These people number 75 to 76 million surviving Baby Boomers as of 2010, or about 25% of the total population. By 2011, millions will begin turning traditional retirement age (65), resulting in extremely rapid growth in the senior portion of the population. There will be continuing debate over whether and how to reform America’s Social Security system. When Social Security was first launched in the 1930s, the typical American was vastly younger than
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
today (the median age in 1930 was only 26.5 years compared to about 37 years in 2009), and the ratio of workers to retirees in the U.S. was 41 to 1. In 2004, there were only 3.4 workers per retiree. In 2034, the projected number is two workers per retiree. In 1930, there were only 6.6 million Americans age 65 and above; in 2009 there were more than 39 million. That number is increasing dramatically as the Baby Boom generation hits retirement. Clearly, the burden of retirement payouts has grown to a degree unanticipated by the founders of the pay-as-you-go Social Security system. Meanwhile, Baby Boomers are more affluent and in much better health than any previous retiring generation. They are also likely to be well educated and somewhat financially savvy. These new retirees know that they are likely to live for a long time, and they want solid investments and financial planning that will enable them to live well. For example, an American male aged 65 has an average life expectancy of nearly 15 more years. A female can expect to enjoy nearly 19 more years. Investment firms have an unprecedented opportunity to earn lucrative fees by serving this market, not only in the U.S., but in other rapidly aging nations including Japan and virtually all of Europe. 6) Employers Make 401(k) Enrollment Automatic/Broad Changes are Suggested for Retirement Savings Plans About 49.8 million Americans were enrolled in 401(k) savings plans at the workplace as of the beginning of 2009. In July 2005, the oldest Baby Boomers turned 59 ½, the youngest age at which they may start withdrawing funds from their 401(k) plans without penalties. Many of them are taking early retirement. By the end of 2007, according to the Investment Company Institute, Americans had about $3.0 trillion in 401(k) savings plans. By the end of 2008, due to declining stock markets, the value had slumped to $2.4 trillion, but strong markets in 2009 regained some of the lost value. About one-half of those funds are invested in mutual funds. Employers have been trying harder to engage young workers in savings plans. Many relatively young employees feel strapped for cash. They may need current income to pay off student loans or to pay down credit card debt. Participation rates among workers in their early 20s has historically been very low. Employers have been changing their tactics in order to encourage more workers to participate in
www.plunkettresearch.com
savings plans. The biggest change is that the largest companies now tend to enroll their employees in savings plans automatically, rather than waiting for the employees to request enrollment on their own. (Employees may opt-out, but must do so in writing.) This greatly boosts participation, particularly among workers of modest income. Next, employers are providing workers with greater investment plan choices and much better opportunities for education about investing in their plans. Some employers are making it more difficult for employees to make preretirement withdrawals from their plans except in cases of extreme hardship. “Target-date” mutual funds are growing in popularity for use in 401(k)s, despite the fact that they may endure relatively high management fees. A target-date fund is so-named because it continually adjusts investment strategy from higher-risk during a worker’s younger years to lower-risk near a targeted retirement date as the worker ages. The employer-sponsored savings plan has been a major contributor to the growth in stock investment participation in the U.S. For example, in 1983, shortly after savings plans were first established, only 15.9 million households participated in stock ownership. By early 2005, that figure ballooned to 56.9 million according to a study sponsored by the Investment Company Institute and the Securities Industry Association. 401(k)s were first established on January 1, 1980 as a way for people to save for retirement on a taxdeferred basis. (Johnson & Johnson, PepsiCo, Honeywell, Hughes Aircraft and JC Penney were among the first employers to offer the plans.) Eligible workers make contributions to these accounts, and many employers match some portion of employee deposits as a benefit. The system works very well as long as the funds are not touched until the account holder reaches retirement age and the holder and employer continue to contribute. While 401(k)s are for employees of for-profit companies, there are similar plans for non-profit organizations (403(b)s), and for state and local government employees (457(b)s). These numbers all refer to portions of the federal tax code, since the plans are allowed to grow on a tax-deferred basis. Under these plans, employees make a taxdeferred deposit into an account. In the best plans, the company makes annual matching donations to the employees’ accounts, typically in some proportion to deposits made by the employees themselves. Many of the best plans match 100% of employee deposits, up to 6% of wages. (One of the most generous plans
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
of all is for members of Congress—with a 200% match of deposits by congressional participants.) More typically, a good plan will match one-half of employee deposits of up to 6% of wages. However, some plans do not call for the employer to make a matching deposit at all. Other plans call for a matching contribution to be made at the discretion of the firm’s board of directors. Actual terms of these plans vary widely from firm to firm. Generally, these savings plans allowed employees to deposit as much as $16,500 or 10% of wages into the plan on a taxdeferred basis, as of 2010, with the maximum adjusted for inflation each year thereafter. (Participants who are 50 years of age or older may be allowed to make larger “catch up” contributions.) However, the portion that the employer uses to calculate its matching deposit is generally limited to a maximum of 6%. Employees should take care to diversify the holdings in their 401(k) accounts, and most people should seek professional guidance or investment management for their accounts. Also, employees should be aware that employers may not make matches if corporate profits are down. This is exactly what happened in 2008 during the global financial crisis—many employers announced that they would not make matching contributions. Employers typically hire outside firms to handle the management of 401(k)s. Employees are often unaware of annual fees (generally 0.5% to 2% of the money invested) relating to those accounts and their impact of fees on their net investment returns. The demise of Enron Corporation urgently underlined the poor manner in which many workers manage their pension plan assets. In the case of Enron, the fact that the company’s stock value plummeted to nothing almost overnight wiped out the savings of many Enron employees who had left all of their 401(k) assets invested in Enron stock. In fact, surveys continue to show that many workers have large shares of their retirement assets tied up in the stock of their employers. Today, employers are trying harder to educate workers about good management and about investment options, including information about fees paid for fund management. At the same time, they are making more asset management options available. As the U.S. population ages, more and more 401(k) holders will be in a position each year to rollover their funds upon retirement. As a result, brokers will require greater expertise in retirement benefits management. Companies such as Merrill Lynch are promoting professional designations of specialty in retirement planning and benefits. In
www.plunkettresearch.com
addition, brokerage houses are offering new products and services aimed at this market. Vanguard, for example, debuted a free service in 2004 that handles the paperwork for rollovers of at least $100,000 in assets. Unfortunately, despite the fact that 401(k) savings plans have been available for a long time, most workers have low balances that will be inadequate for their true retirement needs. Many observers find the 401(k) system to be poorly designed, and numerous suggestions have been offered to create a more effective system. Thanks to the plunge in market values during 2008, this debate will increase. Recommendations for reform to retirement savings come from a wide variety of sources. Proposals that may be under debate over the mid-term include: x Universal retirement savings plans, sponsored by the federal government, rather than employers. Such plans would be open to all Americans, regardless of where, or whether, they work. x Simplification of existing savings plan rules. Currently, sponsorship, reporting and administration place significant burdens on the organizations that offer such plans to their employees. x The creation of links or synergies between savings plans and the Social Security system. x Elimination of the federal income tax break on annual deposits to savings plans, while giving workers other strong incentives to save. (At present, the incentive to deposit money into a savings plan is greater for those workers who earn enough to be in a high income tax bracket of 30% or more, but diminishes quickly for those who pay only a nominal tax rate, such as 10%.) Of course, additional reforms will be suggested and analyzed. Over the long term, changes may take place that will encourage increased personal savings while perhaps limiting investors’ risks to some extent.

7) Investment Firms, Banks Compete for Clients in High Net Worth Households Focusing on financial advice and asset management is one way for financial firms to boost income. In particular, many investment banks and commercial banks target high net worth individuals. Wealthy clients, specifically those with multimilliondollar net worth, can provide a steady source of fees and income to asset managers. More important than total net worth, however, is the dollar amount available for investment. Most prized, among investment firms, are clients with $10 million or more in assets that are available for investment management. Affluent households were hit hard by declining stock markets in 2008. Many became extremely unhappy with their financial advisors and asset managers, and they sought more appealing places to move their accounts. Their goals may include lower management fees, greater liquidity, less risk in their portfolios or better communication from their managers. The Capgemini Merrill Lynch 2009 World Wealth Report found that the world’s high net worth individuals suffered a 19.5% decline in asset value during 2008. The report found that 27% of clients responding to their survey either withdrew funds from their outside asset managers or completely dropped their managers in 2008. Clearly, the industry has a great deal of work to do in making clients comfortable with their services. While the wealthy population is growing in nations like China and India, the U.S., Japan and Germany still account for 54% of the world’s wealthiest people (those with at least $1 million in investable assets), according to the report. This unique, global population segment was 8.6 million at the end of 2008. Ultra high net worth people ($30 million in investible assets) totaled 79,000 worldwide. The report projects that households with $1 million+ in investable assets will enjoy financial wealth totaling $48.5 trillion by 2013, up from $32.8 trillion in 2008. The high-wealth market is spread among the biggest brokerage firms (including Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley) along with other competitors led by the “private banking” units at the largest banks, such as Citibank and Wells Fargo. Bank of America’s recent acquisition of Merrill Lynch gives it a leg up in this competition for market share. In addition, this market is served by trust companies, boutique investment firms and financial advisor offices.
www.plunkettresearch.com
More and more investors are choosing to work with financial planners and advisors rather than brokers. Brokers are fighting back with services and staff geared specifically toward the management of large investment accounts. Merrill Lynch opened centers in six U.S. cities designed specifically to serve the needs of the super-rich. Likewise, Citibank has created wealth planning centers around the U.S. that focus on trusts and investments for upper-end families. Hundreds of specially trained advisors to the wealthy are now working in such offices. Meanwhile, investment firms have recently created special training requirements for top investment advisors who want to focus on the wealthiest households. This elite group of advisors has the opportunity to earn very substantial annual fees based on the total dollar value of assets under management. 8) ETFs Expand and Take Market Share from Mutual Funds/Fund Operators Are Forced to Change One of the hottest things going in the investment world is the ETF, or Exchange-Traded Fund. ETFs are baskets of different stocks for sale under one ticker symbol. They are designed to compete with index mutual funds (commonly called “index funds;” index funds are invested so as to represent the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500, the NASDAQ 100 or other stock indexes). They also compete with mutual funds that invest in specific industrial sectors, and, more recently, they compete with managed funds. There are, however, important differences between ETFs and mutual funds. The primary difference lies in the way they are priced. Mutual funds are traded and priced only once daily. ETFs act like stocks, fluctuating in price all day long as the underlying values of the stocks they hold fluctuate. ETFs tend to have low fee structures and offer quick, easy access to widely diversified baskets of stocks. Since there are many smaller indexes that track specific business sectors such as retailing or energy (these indexes are maintained by investment banks and analysts), ETFs can easily be designed to be sector-oriented by following a specific industrial sector’s index. Some ETFs even track indexes based on gold, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other more limited ranges of investments. These funds have experienced tremendous growth. Since the first fund was launched in 1993, ETFs had collectively attracted about $250 billion in assets in 170 ETFs through the end of 2005. By the
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
third quarter of 2008, global ETF assets had soared to about $765 billion worldwide in 1,499 ETFs managed by 86 different firms, according to a study by Barclays Global Investors. By November 2009, the American ETF industry hit $739 billion under management in a total of 802 ETFs, according to a report from State Street Global Advisors. Analysts at Morgan Stanley have suggested that total global ETF assets could reach as high as $2 trillion by 2011. The world’s largest ETF managers in late 2009 included Barclay Global Investors, recently acquired by BlackRock, Inc, at $361 billion under management. It was followed by State Street at $174 billion and Vanguard Group at $88 billion. One of the most popular examples of an ETF is the SPDR (pronounced “spider”), which stands for Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipt—a security designed to track the S&P 500 stocks. Another ETF is the VIPER, or Vanguard Index Participation Equity Receipts. Launched by mutual fund leader Vanguard Group, there are now multiple types of VIPERs on the market holding billions of dollars in assets. ETFs have evolved and expanded to fill a wide variety of niches, appealing to investors who want to bet on indexes covering commodities such as gold, as well as oil, currencies such as the Euro, and tech stocks. ETFs are increasingly popular with individual investors and are expected to continue their impressive growth pattern. They provide investors with lower cost alternatives to mutual funds and with the ability to bet against stocks or bonds by short selling. Since ETFs are bought and sold like stocks, investors trade them through stockbrokers. As more and more individual investors become aware of ETFs, they have begun to displace mutual funds, to a growing extent. This means that ETFs are showing up in the portfolios of large numbers of IRAs and 401(k)s. Since investors must pay a brokerage commission each time they buy or sell ETF shares, the trading costs can be prohibitive for those who invest only small amounts of money or who trade often. On the other hand, ETFs have extremely low management expense ratios, often less than one-tenth of one percent, a significant advantage over many mutual funds. In addition, there are no up-front sales charges when buying ETFs as there are in some mutual funds. A final advantage to ETFs for some investors is that capital gains taxes will not be created for individual investors until they sell the ETF shares. In comparison, individuals owning mutual funds may

find themselves owing taxes even though they have not yet sold their shares. The big news is a new breed of ETFs that are not tied exclusively to specific indexes. Instead, these are “actively managed” ETFs, run by stock pickers who hope to make investment choices that will beat the indexes. Typically, managers of these ETFs are free to trade in and out of stocks, based on a management firm’s own unique computer models and market forecasts. This puts the ETFs in direct competition with actively managed mutual funds. For example, Invesco PowerShares offered several actively managed ETF products at the end of 2009. One is focused on shares in real estate firms. Another is focused on trading within high market capitalization companies. x x x

Mutual fund assets in the U.S. totaled about $9.5 trillion as of November 2008, down from about $10.9 trillion one year earlier. By October 2009, they had rebounded to $10.6 trillion. According to ICI, global mutual fund assets were $26.15 trillion at their peak in the fourth quarter of 2007. By the end of 2008, they had plunged to $18.9 trillion. By the second quarter of 2009, the value had climbed to $20.34 trillion. Meanwhile, mutual fund companies were forced to endure significant changes as a result of the recent financial crisis. To begin with, hundreds of mutual funds were liquidated or merged into other funds by their management firms. This was an effort to reduce marketing and management costs, or to close poorlyperforming funds. Elsewhere, mutual fund companies realized that they needed to offer products that would give investors more confidence and lower risk. Many investors were spooked by the major market meltdown of 2008 through early 2009. “Absolute return” funds were launched by companies including Putnam. In Putnam’s case, its new funds were designed to target annual returns to investors equal to a set amount above U.S. Treasury bills. The focus of many individual investors changed. For example, bond management firm PIMCO
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
enjoyed renewed interest by investors in the relatively stable returns offered by mutual funds that invest in high-quality bonds rather than stocks. 9) Online Brokers Open Physical Offices/Online Trading is Free for Large Depositors Banks have long sought to offer a full array of financial services, and they are offering deeply discounted stock trades. In fact, Bank of America announced in late 2006 that it would offer up to 30 free online stock trades monthly to customers that have at least $25,000 in combined deposits. Banks such as Bank of America want to be one-stop shops, and they see free or discounted stock trades as a way to bring customers back to their web sites on a frequent basis where they will also be offered feegenerating services such as mortgages and retirement products. Other firms have toyed with free, or nearly free, trades. Zecco Holdings, Inc. (www.zecco.com) charges no commission on up to 10 standard trades monthly for customers with minimum account values of $25,000. Otherwise, they charge only $4.50 per trade. Genesis Securities LLC, which normally specializes in trades for large institutional orders, has a new unit called SogoInvest (www.sogotrade.com) that may offer trades for as little as $3 each. Online investors are using the Internet to their advantage, and the entire structure of Wall Street has changed as a result. The cost of trading stocks online has plummeted since the inception of online trading in the 1990s, thanks to the low overhead achieved when an Internet-enabled brokerage uses the latest technology to cut the amount of costly office space and support staff required to execute trades. Furthermore, an increasing number of investors are using the Internet as their primary method of buying, selling and tracking investment portfolios and financial accounts, regardless of whether those portfolios consist of stocks, bonds, mutual funds or other assets. Likewise, millions of households now manage their bank accounts online. Research and investment advice (both good and bad) are readily available and easily located on the Internet. Virtually all stock brokerages that offer online trading also make research reports available online to their registered account holders. Also, like most banking companies, many leading online brokerages are adopting a bricks-andclicks model that combines physical storefronts with online services. For example, E*Trade opened its first physical brokerage branches in 2001. Called E*Trade Financial Centers, these branches are
www.plunkettresearch.com
designed to encourage personal visits by customers. Locations are now in major cities nationwide. In fact, E*Trade has broadened its services beyond trading to include banking, lending and outsourced services. Leading discount broker Charles Schwab has also built a blend of storefronts and online offerings, as have many other discount and online brokers, along with mutual fund companies like Fidelity. Likewise, TD Ameritrade has hundreds of branches across the U.S. to service its accounts in person as well as online. This is all part of a general trend for discount brokerages to grow through acquisitions, expand physical branch networks and seek new ways to earn revenues from fees and services in addition to trading. These services may include options and futures trading, financial advisory services, life insurance, annuities, banking, lending and outsourced employee benefit services. This is particularly important today since competition for discount trades has become so fierce and commission rates have dropped to rock-bottom levels. One of the most interesting bricks-and-clicks brokers is Scottrade (www.scottrade.com). It offers deeply discounted online trading along with appropriate tools to assist customers online. At the same time, this discount broker has a chain of more than 375 physical brokerage offices so that customers can obtain assistance in person when desired, to accomplish tasks such as opening accounts and making broker-assisted trades. This firm’s bricksand-clicks strategy also includes touch-tone phone trading—it is seeking every possible avenue to communicate with and satisfy its customers. 10)
Hedge Funds Regroup, Change Strategy and Sometimes Lower Fees Many of the world’s hedge funds suffered deeply during the global financial crisis. There were approximately 10,000 hedge funds operating globally as of October 2008, but the number is not static. Instead, some funds close up shop due to poor returns on investment, while new funds open. Overall, the industry managed a total of about $2 trillion at the beginning of 2008, which fell drastically to $1.5 trillion by the end of the year. Many rebounded during the better markets of 2009. By the end of 2009, there was enough interest among investors to enable the launch of several new hedge funds, although some were offering lowered management fees. Hedge funds are investment pools for institutional investors and wealthy individuals. A
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
hedge fund is a private investment fund that may utilize aggressive strategies such as selling shares short, leveraging via heavy borrowing and/or the timing of trading via very sophisticated computer models, arbitrage or derivatives. Generally, hedge funds may use strategies that are not available to more regulated mutual funds. (A small number of hedge funds in various nations have issued publicly held shares, or have set very low minimum investment requirements, but this is the exception rather than the rule.) In addition to hefty fees (generally 1% to 2% of assets plus 0.4% to 0.6% in administrative fees), hedge fund managers typically receive a 20% cut of any profits. In many cases the investments within a fund may be in privately held companies or in other assets that are not commonly traded on exchanges. This means that valuing the assets can be arbitrary. The higher the asset value claimed by a fund’s manager, the higher the fees that the manager receives. In a typical year, at least a few hedge fund managers will deploy extremely effective strategies for current market conditions, to the extent that investors will earn vast returns and the managers will each earn $1 billion or more in annual fees. Nonetheless, there is no magic in this business, and funds have been known to post stunning losses. Results always vary widely from fund to fund. As a result of a general pull back by investors in the financial crisis, when many hedge funds lost vast amounts of their clients’ money, some funds have lowered their fees and begun more transparency in their reports to clients. Pension funds, foundations, endowments and retirement funds are frequent hedge fund investors, as are wealthy individuals. Many of these investors are quick to move their money when investments prove to be disappointing. A popular variation on the hedge fund industry has been the “fund of funds” or “FOF.” FOFs are investment pools that collect money from investors and then invest that money across a range of hedge funds in order to spread the risk. FOFs typically interview hundreds or even thousands of hedge fund managers in an effort to identify the greatest opportunities. According to analysts at Hedge Fund Research, FOFs accounted for nearly one-half of all hedge fund investments at their peak. The FOF concept is being questioned, however, as some FOFs were invested in the scandalous Madoff debacle, where the founder is alleged to have created a scam that may involve up to $50 billion. This is exactly the kind of problem that managers at FOFs are
www.plunkettresearch.com
charged with avoiding, since they are in the business of carefully analyzing hedge funds and selecting only the best-managed companies. Hedge funds have become so prominent that they create a considerable portion of commissions earned by stock brokers. The funds play a major role in trading in markets such as convertible bonds, credit insurance derivatives and securitized debt obligations. Meanwhile, swaps and derivatives are enabling hedge funds to use leverage creatively to enhance returns. When the funds make good bets on the direction of the assets they purchase, that leverage boosts returns. Unfortunately, that leverage can also exaggerate losses. This happened extensively in 2008. In addition, hedge funds are seeking increasingly diverse and creative ways to earn high returns. In fact, the lines between hedge funds and their financial industry competitors, such as investment banks and private equity firms, are starting to blur. For example, some funds are making medium- to highrisk loans to companies, thereby taking over the role traditionally played by commercial banks. Other funds are backing major insurance risks such as potential loss to hurricanes, effectively taking on a role traditionally played by reinsurance companies. Another option for hedge fund managers is investing in commodities, even to the extent of backing oil and gas exploration, development and reserves acquisition. Moreover, hedge funds are backing corporate mergers, acquisitions and leveraged buyouts, traditionally handled by commercial banks, investment banks and private equity companies. Hedge funds are largely unregulated. In the U.S., the SEC attempted to require most funds to register disclosure documents, similar to those required of mutual funds, which would list risks, management details and other items that would better arm potential investors to consider the pros and cons of a fund, its track record and its managers. The courts struck down the SEC's proposed rules in mid-2006. However, the global financial crisis of 2008 put hedge funds in the spotlight in a negative way, and steepened disclosure requirements and regulations will undoubtedly follow over the mid-term. While the funds are aimed primarily at institutions and wealthy investors, many variations occur around the globe. In Australia, for example, individuals who are not wealthy may invest in local hedge funds.

Private Equity Firms Stumble on Tighter Credit There are myriad companies, both in the U.S. and abroad, that specialize in making private equity investments. Industry leaders include Blackstone Group, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), Texas Pacific Group, Thomas H. Lee and Carlyle Group. Thomson Financial estimates that the private equity industry received $229 billion from investors to put into investment pools in 2007 alone. Globally, there are thousands of these firms in operation, but most of the money is held by a few top-tier companies. Generally, these firms pool money from institutions, pension plans and wealthy individuals who are looking to make higher returns on their investments. The fund managers use these pools to acquire large (or controlling) interests in companies of all types. Significant amounts of leverage are typically employed so that a combination of debt and equity creates larger potential returns. Such investments are often referred to as “leveraged buyouts” or “LBOs.” Until recently, an environment of extremely low interest rates, easy credit terms and an active market for low-quality “junk” bonds fueled the LBO fire to an extent never seen before. As private equity firms became larger, and the market for LBOs heated up, they took greater and greater risks, and paid ever-higher premiums for the companies they were purchasing. Meanwhile, private equity firms became more diverse in the types of investments they are willing to make. For example, many have been making “mezzanine” investments in the stocks of private companies that are seeking to grow or go public; private placements in public companies (which are referred to as PIPEs); and higher-risk “bridge” loans to help firms that need capital today in anticipation of future funding events. But the biggest risks were established by private equity firms willing to borrow the most while bidding up the price of the companies they were purchasing. These investments soared in total dollar amount, from about $50 billion in 2000 to more than $400 billion in 2006. Money center banks and investment banks of all types jumped on board, by providing highly leveraged loans to private equity deals and underwriting immense junk bond issues. Meanwhile, typical prices paid for a company, as a ratio of annual cash flow, soared from a factor of about five in 2000 to 10 or more in 2006. A big LBO in 2003 was considered to be $4 billion or so. By 2005, car rental giant Hertz was acquired for $15 billion. In 2006, Equity Office Properties was acquired for $38.8
www.plunkettresearch.com
billion. Finally, in 2007 amazingly large LBOs were announced, including the buyout of Canadian telecommunications firm BCE for $48.5 billion and Texas utilities firm TXU for $43.8 billion. The TXU deal has closed. However, the BCE deal collapsed in late 2008, as did a relatively large deal to acquire Huntsman, a chemicals firm. In fact, many acquisitions have collapsed, been renegotiated as to price and terms, or failed to attain necessary funding. The global credit meltdown made it much more difficult for private equity firms to obtain bank loans or to find investors for new debt by late 2007. Markets for the junk bonds and exotic debt instruments that made these highly leveraged deals possible collapsed. The 2003 through mid-2007 era will be looked upon as a long lost era of easy money. While credit became easier to obtain by the end of 2009, it is still nowhere near the robust market of 2006-2007. Now, the best-managed private equity firms with the deepest pockets are likely to prosper while poorly managed, poorly capitalized firms will suffer. The biggest firms have recently enjoyed opportunities to scoop up deals and debt instruments at bargain prices. The largest private equity management firms often raise $10 billion or more to manage in a single new pool, and each firm may have several such pools that were raised in succession over a number of years. Management fees are extremely lucrative, typically 1% to 2% of assets for annual management, plus 1% of the value of completed deals, fees for various services, and 20% of total net profits. In order to justify these fees, investors must be offered the potential of enormous profits. Eventually, private equity investors earn a return on capital when the acquired firms have an IPO or are sold off. Additional returns are often earned when managers do a complete financial restructuring of an acquired firm. This might involve loading the acquired firm up with significant amounts of debt, and then using all or most of that debt to pay a huge dividend to the private equity shareholders. Then, the heavily indebted company might have an IPO, selling its stock to the public, hopefully creating an even higher return for the private equity shareholders. Average annual returns on invested capital can be very high. In good years, successful private equity funds have often returned annual profits of 30% or more to investors. Fortunately, as 2010 began, bank loans were becoming easier for private equity funds to obtain, although on much tougher terms than those they enjoyed before the financial crisis. Also, the ability for a private equity firm to sell its holdings has
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
become much easier, as buyers are returning to the acquisitions market, and IPOs are returning to the market in modest numbers. Returns to private equity investors may be relatively good in 2010, compared to a very difficult 2008 and a challenging 2009. 12)
Annuity Account Managers Create New Product Strategies Variable annuities, those that change with stock and bond market values, declined both in value and new account sales during 2008. Americans owned investments in variable annuities totaling $1.49 trillion in September 2007, according to the Insured Retirement Institute, formerly National Association for Variable Annuities (NAVA), about a 9.5% increase from one year earlier. Unfortunately, by December 2008 the total had dropped considerably to $1.13 trillion. Total annuity industry net assets, including nonvariable annuities, were $1.996 trillion in 2007 and $1.682 trillion in 2008. Large improvements in stock market values created a rebound in variable annuity assets during 2009. Total U.S. annuity industry sales were $264.1 billion in 2008, up from $255.0 billion the previous year. Variable annuity sales in 2008 were $23.8 billion, down from $33.4 billion the previous year. For many years, annuities were a significant growth industry. The total number of unique annuity products offered more than tripled from 1999 through 2008, rising from 359 to 1,491. The plunges of financial markets in 2008 and early 2009 had a damaging effect on the industry, as profits on assets owned by underwriters plunged. As a result, insurance companies that underwrite these annuities faced large losses when they paid out returns that they had guaranteed to policy holders. Many companies that offer annuities are changing the structure of their products: raising fees, lowering guaranteed minimum payouts, or both. While annuity underwriters typically use sophisticated hedging strategies to limit losses in the event of market downturns, the plunging markets of 2008 left many firms with large net losses, despite their best hedging and management efforts. Going forward, consumers can expect lower guaranteed benefits, and sometimes higher costs. This is bad timing, considering the vast number of Baby Boomers who are soon entering retirement age. There are numerous types of annuity accounts, and their variations and complicated details are enough to confuse most consumers. There are multiple styles of variable annuities that attempt to
www.plunkettresearch.com
match the investor’s age, financial circumstances and tolerance for risk. The investor may make deposits on a regular basis, such as monthly, or may make a large lump sum deposit when establishing the account. The account’s earnings are income taxdeferred until the investor begins withdrawing money. A simple annuity grows at a stated range of rate of return offered by the insurance company. The insurance firm takes all of the market risk. This is a good bet for retirees who are looking to create a permanent stream of income. A variable annuity, in contrast, is an annuity funded by a separate account that invests in mutual funds, bonds or the stock market, at the policyholder’s direction. Variable annuities are better suited to workers who have 15 years or more until retirement. The annuity’s value rises and falls with that of the underlying portfolio securities. Investors who feel they can get superior returns from the stocks and funds held by the account may prefer this very popular type of annuity. However, the investor assumes the market risk and often pays high management or sales fees. Styles of variable annuities include those that are pegged to a particular stock market index, such as the S&P 500. “TargetDate” accounts, also called “life-cycle funds,” are turned over to professional money managers who automatically balance the underlying investments based on the investor’s age (the assumption being that the older the investor becomes the lower the level of risk that should be assumed). “Target-Risk” accounts are invested based on the investor’s tolerance for risk. The biggest players in the U.S. variable annuity business include MetLife, TIAA-CREF, AXA, ING, Lincoln National, Prudential Financial, AIG, Manulife Financial, Hartford Financial and Pacific Life. Most major annuity firms have been working to improve their products and services. They are managing the practices of sales forces more carefully, striving to make annuity products match the needs of a wide variety of consumers and taking care to make the risks, costs and features of annuity accounts more readily understandable. Fidelity Investments, for example, offers a variable annuity with no extra benefits or guarantees that charges as little as 0.25% in annual fees. As more annuity options become available on the market, investors are switching old, higher-fee contracts for new ones that cost less. In fact, many brokerage firms such as Charles Schwab & Co. and Fidelity are offering their clients
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
specialized databases that help annuity owners compare annuities and their inherent costs. Another insurance-based investment option is a personal pension. As more employers phase out pension plans, firms such as MetLife, Inc. and New York Life Insurance are offering pension products that are based on annuities. Like most annuities, personal pension plans carry heavy penalties for early withdrawal. As life expectancies increase, insurers in the U.S. and around the world are looking to expand their annuity business. French insurer AXA SA, for example, has established “risk labs” in Paris and New York to study longevity and its relationship to financial markets. The markets in Europe, Japan and the U.S. are especially ripe for annuity sales due to rapid growth in the senior population segments, and firms such as Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. in the U.S., Aegon NV and ING Groep NV in The Netherlands, and Allianz SE in Germany have been promoting marketing efforts on an international scale. 13)
Credit Default Swaps (CDS) and Derivatives Soar into the Trillions of Dollars A credit default swap is a contract whereby the seller of the swap agrees to make a payment to the buyer in the event of a specified event. That event is typically a default on a debt of some sort. The buyer of the swap may purchase it with one upfront payment or with a series of payments over time. The seller is guaranteeing that a debt will not be defaulted upon. In return, the seller receives a fee rather like an insurance premium. This reduces risk on the part of the debt holder, who is the buyer of the swap. Hedge funds are common sellers of these swaps. In fact, hedge funds, banks, insurance company subsidiaries and investment firms have generated immense amounts of credit swaps. Underwriting these swaps is a relatively easy way for hedge funds and financial institutions to generate lucrative fee income. Unfortunately, it also can be risky. A swap transaction might look like this: 1) A pension fund manager purchases $100 million in high-yield, high-risk corporate bonds (“junk bonds”). The fund manager wants to enjoy the high rate of interest on the bonds, but since junk bonds frequently default, he decides to lay-off some of the risk with a swap. 2) A hedge fund agrees to underwrite a swap that will pay up to $50 million to the pension fund in the event that the pension fund incurs a loss on the bonds. The hedge fund collects a fee, which may range up to a few million dollars.
www.plunkettresearch.com
Money center banks, like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, along with major investment banks like Goldman Sachs, have been big buyers and sellers of such swaps. As one of the most popular types of financial derivatives, these swaps can be used to assume or lay-off the risk of many subunits of debt instruments, depending on the needs of the ultimate owner of the debt. Such slices of investments are often called “tranches.” Banks and investment firms have reaped immensely profitable fees from swaps. Swaps bought by speculators are often known as “naked swaps” when the swap purchasers do not own the underlying bond or other debt instrument. A credit default swap is vaguely similar to a short sale of a stock. The buyer of the swap profits if the value of the debt instrument, which is insured by the swap, declines. As with short selling of stock, many swaps are purchased by speculators who do not actually own the debt instruments. This is a popular practice. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), other federal agencies and some states have expressed interest in regulating swaps. Meanwhile, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued stringent rules regarding how firms must account for and disclose their swaps positions and risks. Oversight of swaps and derivatives of most types may become part of a massive federal financial industry regulatory overhaul in 2010, if the Obama administration gets its way. There is always some risk that the swaps could blow up. If a large number of corporations are unable to make timely payments on their debt instruments, or if substantial numbers of risks covered by swaps result in large losses, then the banks, insurance companies or hedge funds that have sold such swaps could find themselves struggling to pay off their obligations. For example, large amounts of swaps were written to cover the risks involved in owning securities representing pools of subprime mortgages. Those subprime mortgages plummeted in value, and the sellers of those swaps face billions of dollars in losses. In an effort to make the swaps market more orderly and transparent, nine banks, including Credit Suisse, J.P. Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, have announced that they will use a new online trading platform for their swaps activities. The platform, TradeWeb, is controlled by Thomson Reuters, but the banks are minor partners as well. Of course, one piece of big news was the U.S. government’s need to bailout global insurance giant American International Group (AIG) in the fall of 2008. AIG was considered by most analysts to be a
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
reasonably well-managed insurance company with good long-term potential in the global market. Unfortunately, a relatively small division at AIG had taken immense risks by writing credit default swaps totaling hundreds of billions of dollars. (Many of their swaps insured subprime mortgage securities.) This helped break the company’s back. The American government provided AIG up to $85 billion in loans in exchange for effective control of the firm and a change of top management. That need quickly grew to $150 billion when AIG found it difficult to find buyers for assets and operating companies that it intends to sell. An important test of the CDS model took place in the fall 2008, when large numbers of default swaps came due on Lehman Brothers (the recently bankrupt investment bank) obligations. According to the Depository Trust & Clearing House, a firm that processes investment transactions, CDS insuring Lehman Brothers obligations were settled in October with a relatively modest $5.2 billion changing hands. While a much larger total of CDS were outstanding among Depository Trust & Clearing House’s clients, many of these swaps cancelled each other out. Elsewhere, bailed-out AIG stated that it paid only $6.2 million to settle its CDS insuring Lehman Brothers debt. The amount was relatively minor because many of AIG’s positions covering Lehman cancelled each other out by taking opposing sides of a transaction. Meanwhile, derivatives of all types remain a massive, global market. Derivatives are so named because their value derives from underlying assets. These assets might be stocks, bonds, other debt instruments, commodities or some mutually agreed price index such as a stock index. Derivatives are used as a way of hedging risk or speculating on a future outcome. Credit default swaps, as a widely traded credit derivative, are included in this market. Derivatives traded over the counter were outstanding in an amount equal to $604 trillion total potential (“notional”) value worldwide in mid-2009, according to the Bank for International Settlements. (This is an immense increase from the $127 trillion notional value in mid 2002.) The gross market value of these derivatives in 2009 was $25.3 trillion. Derivatives that are bought and sold on standardized terms are traded on large exchanges or over the counter (OTC). The most common derivatives include those covering foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate contracts, equity (stock)-linked contracts, commodity contracts
www.plunkettresearch.com
(covering such items as metals, oil and food stocks), as well as credit default swaps. 14)
Credit Card Issuers and Debt Holders Face a Difficult Market/Consumers Pay Down Debts and Charge Less Global consumers are awash in credit card debt. Visa, for example, reports that it processed charges amounting to $4.3 trillion worldwide in the year ended March 31, 2009 (up from $3.3 trillion two years earlier) on its customers’ 1.7 billion cards (up from 1.4 billion in 2007). In total, Visa processed 59 billion transactions in the year ending March 31, 2009. MasterCard’s customers totaled 981 million at the end of 2008. Other major credit card issuers include American Express and Discover. Another competitor in consumer payments is the e-commerce firm PayPal, a unit of eBay which electronically debits customer’s checking accounts for online purchases. During the third quarter of 2009, PayPal saw its number of active registered accounts soar by 20% to 78 million worldwide, while its quarterly revenue rose 15% to $668.1 million. PayPal has adopted an open source software strategy, which enables developers to easily incorporate PayPal into web sites. In total, credit card firms in America manage hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. While the banks have historically sold much of this debt in the form of securitized pools of debt obligations, market conditions have made it much more difficult to find buyers for these debts. Unfortunately, a significant portion of outstanding credit card debt is owed by subprime borrowers. In 2008 and 2009, credit card issuers cancelled cards held by people with low credit scores, lowered credit limits and reduced their marketing to potential new card holders. Meanwhile, card issuers in America face a long list of new regulations from the Credit Card Act of 2009, which was scheduled to go into effect, for the most part, in February 2010. The rules dramatically limit issuers’ ability to raise interest rates and alter fee structures, while requiring much higher levels of disclosure to card holders. One outcome has been a scramble by issuers to change accounts from fixed interest rates to variable rates. Profits at card issuers will be under significant pressure in 2010. One result may be an effort by issuers to lower their participation in expensive loyalty reward programs. American consumers have also changed their habits regarding debt and purchases. Personal savings were on the rise in 2008 and 2009, while credit card balances were declining sharply. There
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
are many indications that a firm trend has taken hold, under which consumers will be much more careful with their money and much less likely to enter into debt for discretionary spending. For the fourth quarter of 2008, Visa announced that, for the first time in history, spending on Visa debit cards in the U.S. was higher than spending via Visa credit cards. This means that consumers are switching to the cashlike debit card, paying from current funds, rather than incurring a credit card balance. Earnings from credit card operations are in serious decline. For the third quarter of 2008, for example, American Express saw income from continuing business operations drop by 23% over the same period of 2007, despite an increase in total revenues. The firm announced staff cuts, and saw its net write-offs of credit card debt leap to about 6% from 3% a year earlier. For the third quarter of 2009, the company saw a 16% drop in revenues (over the same period in 2008) and a 25% drop in earnings from continuing operations. Competition among credit card companies is intense and getting stronger. Revolution Money, partly backed by Steve Case who made his money at American Online (AOL), has created a new credit card network. Its appeal to merchants is a vastly lower transaction fee of 0.5%, compared to about 2.1% charged by Visa. It’s one thing to invent a credit card, but another to convince people to use it. Murphy Oil, which runs gas stations at hundreds of Wal-Mart stores, was offering consumers a three-cent per gallon discount for using the RevolutionCard in 2008. In November 2009, American Express announced its intent to acquire Revolution Money. Credit cards utilize some of the most sophisticated communications technology in the world. For example, Visa transactions soar along millions of miles of fiber-optic cable. Charges made in almost any location around the globe can be processed across phone lines to one of dozens of Visa data centers, authorized through a network by the issuing bank while the approval is sent back to the point of purchase with an averaged elapsed time of two seconds. The company’s recently enhanced network has the capability of handling 11,000 transactions per second. Visa’s rival MasterCard is a technology wonder itself. It operates a 550,000 square foot global technology and operations center that cost $136 million, equipped with 743 miles of conduit, 160 miles of fiber optic and 360 massive server cabinets. Meanwhile, banks and stock brokerages have upped the ante in the affluent card holder market.
www.plunkettresearch.com
American Express has long been the leader in serving affluent customers, as well as providing cards for use by businesses including major corporations. Amex card users tend to be much more affluent than users of competing cards, and they charge, on average, twice as much per year to their cards. Amex’s Platinum and black Centurion cards are recognized as the purchasing cards for the wealthy. Holders of those cards pay substantial annual fees. In return, they receive excellent personal services, including the use of agents who can book travel arrangements, restaurant reservations and show tickets, as well as access to specialists who can help travelers in emergencies. Competing organizations see no reason to leave affluent card holders to American Express. Visa and MasterCard issuers such as Merrill Lynch have launched their own very high-level cards to compete. Card holders who travel remain the most desired customers for card issuers. Cards such as Citibank’s AAdvantage card, an American Airlines relationship that offers mileage rewards, and American Express’s Delta SkyMiles card remain among the most profitable of all card offerings. Holders of these cards tend to rack up very high charges each year, receiving airline mileage rewards in exchange for their loyalty. (Selling mileage awards to the credit card companies is one of the best profit centers for major airlines.) American consumers are the world’s biggest users and holders of credit and debit cards by far, charging purchases much faster than consumers in other nations. In fact, in many nations, such as Japan, consumers are reluctant to own multiple credit cards and even more reluctant to carry balances on their cards. However, consumers in some nations, notably Brazil (where there were 266 million Visa cards by 2008) and Mexico, have been adopting credit card use quickly in recent years. As of mid2008, 71 million Visa cards had been issued in the rapidly-growing nation of India. 15)
Exchanges Must Provide Fast, Inexpensive Services in Order to Survive/High Speed Trading Exchanges worldwide are racing to provide the fastest possible trades in order to retain professional clients. Over the past few years, upstart electronic exchanges have forced the leader, the NYSE Euronext, to adapt and invest millions in high-speed electronic trading technology. The Tokyo exchange launched a $140 million electronic upgrade in late 2009 that dramatically increased trading speeds.
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
Meanwhile, the human element on trading floors continues to dwindle. For example, the Wall Street bastion known as the New York Stock Exchange had only 1,200 people working on the trading floor at the beginning of 2009, down from 3,000 five years earlier. At one point in 2008, the NYSE trading floor’s market share of trades in NYSE-listed stocks had declined to 24% from a 2005 share of 80%. To fight back, the NYSE bought its own electronic trading unit in March 2006, NYSE Arca, formerly known as Archipelago. Its goal is for Arca plus the trading floor to attain a market share of about 50%. Major competitors in electronic trading include the Nasdaq OMX Group, with about a 33% market share of all trades in U.S. equities as of the beginning of 2009. Meanwhile, an upstart founded in Kansas City, Missouri in 2006, BATS Global Markets, handled 10% of U.S. volume as 2009 began. It has grown to become America’s third-largest equities exchange. BATS also operates a London-based exchange for European securities. It announced plans to launch an options exchange in the U.S. sometime in 2010. To successful stock and options traders, three things count: 1) the speed with which the trade is executed (counted in microseconds), 2) the cost of the trade, and 3) a trader’s ability to use multiple exchanges when possible, to avoid tipping off other traders and driving up the price of a stock. Some exchanges offer better features than others, and the competition between exchanges to improve remains fierce. Meanwhile, the competition between the largest traders is fierce as well. A major trend is called “high-speed” trading by “high-frequency” traders. Firms such as Getco, now one of the leading trading offices in the U.S., are able to execute trades for hundreds of millions of shares daily with a relatively small number of employees utilizing the latest in technology. Costs are slashed, liquidity is enhanced, and the profits can be astonishing. High-speed trading has moved into markets of all types, including commodities markets. This is the ultimate use of technology in the financial world “Naked access” is another trend. In this case, instead of firm registering with the SEC as a broker and becoming a member of an exchange, a trading firm pays a broker for the use of the broker’s computer code. This is called “sponsored access.” In some cases, this access is through the registered broker’s computer system, which gives the broker a chance to monitor the activity to some extent, and thereby limit risk. In other cases, the access is
www.plunkettresearch.com
outside of the registered brokers’ systems, directly with an exchange, and therefore both faster and subject to less scrutiny. Traders using naked access may be able to execute a trade in 300 microseconds or about one-half the time required for sponsored access trades. This may increase the chance that a reckless trader could cause serious problems or huge losses. On the other hand, speed is an immense advantage. The leading electronic exchanges and trading offices invest immense sums in installing and maintaining the fastest-possible communications connections, computers and algorithms. The small number of people who are highly experienced and skilled in this arena are in very high demand. This trend is rapidly reshaping trading the world over in organized markets of all types. 16)
Investment Product Facts
A. Mutual Funds Most individual investors have no business trying to choose stocks and bonds on their own—successful stock investment requires extensive research and knowledge, and the risks are great. Proper research prior to making a stock investment can encompass such areas as a company’s operations, its place among its competitors, its potential earnings, the strength of its management and the overall desirability of the industry within which it operates. Picking stocks and bonds is a full-time job best left to professionals, such as those who manage mutual funds. At the same time, most investors are much better served by spreading their money over several different stocks and industries rather than placing all of their money in a small number of stocks. Investing in one or more mutual funds can fill this need. Mutual funds provide investors with professional stock selection, management on a day-to-day basis and diversification. i. Types of Mutual Funds There is a type of fund to suit every conceivable investor. Some provide income that is free from income taxes. Some are focused on providing dividend income, while others focus on growth of capital. Some funds have multiple objectives. The following is a brief description of the primary types of mutual funds, organized by their investment objectives:
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
x Aggressive Growth Funds (also known as Capital Appreciation Funds) seek to invest in a portfolio of stocks that will provide maximum capital appreciation; current income is not a significant goal. Some may use specialized investment techniques such as option writing or short-term trading. These funds usually entail greater risk, thus the "aggressive" name. x Balanced Funds try to balance three different objectives: long-term growth of capital, current income and stability. x Corporate Bond Funds seek a high level of income primarily by purchasing bonds of U.S.based corporations. The income and stability of the fund will depend on the quality of the bonds in which the fund's manager is allowed to invest. For example, bonds rated BBB to A+++ (generally considered to be “investment grade”) will offer lower income but greater stability than riskier bonds rated BB or below. (Also, see “High-Yield Bond Funds.”) x Flexible Portfolio Funds may invest in any one investment class (stocks, bonds or money market instruments), or any combination, depending on the conditions in each market. These funds provide the greatest flexibility in anticipating or responding to economic changes. However, these funds may attempt to anticipate shifts in the markets (“timing” the markets), and thus may endure greater risk. x Ginnie Mae or GNMA Funds invest primarily in mortgage securities backed by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). These mortgage securities carry a guarantee from a U.S. Government agency and therefore offer greater stability. x Global Bond Funds seek a high level of income by investing in the debt securities of companies and governments worldwide. They are subject to risk from fluctuation in the value of various currencies. x Global Equity Funds invest in securities traded worldwide. They are subject to risk from fluctuation in the value of various currencies. x Growth and Income Funds invest mainly in the common stocks of companies that may offer
www.plunkettresearch.com
growth in value as well as consistent dividend payments. Such funds attempt to provide investors with long-term capital growth and a steady stream of income. x Growth Funds aim to provide capital appreciation rather than steady income. They may be more aggressive and thus entail greater risk. x High-Yield Bond Funds maintain at least two-thirds of their portfolios in non-investmentgrade corporate bonds. Generally, high-yield bonds are considered to be those rated BB or below (so-called “junk bonds”) by the agencies that analyze bond risk. Some high-yield bonds may carry very low ratings. In return for potentially greater income, high-yield funds present investors with much higher risk. x Income-Bond Funds seek a high level of income by investing in a mixture of corporate and government bonds. x Income-Equity Funds invest primarily in stocks of companies with a consistent history of dividend payments. x Income-Mixed Funds seek a high level of current income by investing in income-producing securities, including both equities and debt instruments. x Index Funds invest in a specific stock index, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 or the Wilshire 5000. This requires no special investment acumen on the part of the investment managers. They simply buy a balanced collection of the stocks that make up the particular index. For the investor, this provides tremendous diversification and makes the value of the fund easy to follow and understand. For example, if the Standard & Poor’s is up, so is a fund that invests only in that index. x International Funds invest in equity securities of companies located outside the U.S. (See “Global Equity Funds.”) x National Municipal Bond Funds – LongTerm invest primarily in bonds issued by states and municipalities to finance public projects. In most cases, the Federal Government does not tax
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
income earned on these securities, although the income may or may not be taxed by state and local governments. x Precious Metals/Gold Funds invest at least two-thirds of fund assets in securities associated with gold, silver and other precious metals. The investments may include inventories of gold or metals or stocks in mining companies. These funds generally involve greater risk because the value of the securities is associated with the market value of the gold, silver, etc., which may fluctuate widely, and the success or failure of the mining ventures attempting to produce the precious metals. x Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) work in a manner very similar to mutual funds, but in this case investors pool their money to jointly own real estate rather than stocks or bonds. Many REITs specialize in a specific type of real estate, such as shopping centers or apartments. REITs differ from mutual funds in that they are required to distribute almost all of their income annually, directly to shareholders. Investors generally buy shares in REITs with a two-fold purpose: 1) to earn current income and 2) for long-term capital gains on appreciation in value of the real estate in the REIT. Investors considering a dive into REITs because of their high dividends should note that real estate entails significant risks. x Sector Funds invest solely in specific sectors of the economy. Sector funds are available in the areas of oil and gas, timber, Internet companies, biotechnology firms and a host of other choices. If you're fortunate enough to hit the right sector and the right fund in that sector, the returns can be exceptional. x State Municipal Bond Funds – Long-Term work like national municipal bond funds, except that their portfolios contain primarily the issues of only one state government. The dividends on these funds may be exempt from income tax for residents of the state whose bonds are in the fund. x Target-Date mutual funds are growing in popularity. A target-date fund is so-named because it continually adjusts investment strategy from higher-risk during a worker’s younger years to lower-risk near a targeted retirement date.
www.plunkettresearch.com
However, management fees may be relatively high in such funds. x Taxable Money Market Mutual Funds seek the highest income consistent with preserving investment principal. These funds seek to maintain a stable $1.00 share price while investing in short-term money market securities of high credit quality (a portfolio’s average maturity typically must be 90 days or less). x Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds – National seek the highest level of income exempt from federal income taxes. These funds invest in short-term municipal securities issued by states and municipalities. x Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds – State invest primarily in issues from one state government. Investors who reside in the state whose bonds are in the fund may be exempt from state income tax on dividends. x U.S. Government Income Funds seek income by investing in a variety of U.S. Government securities, including treasury bonds. These funds may also hold bonds issued by government agencies, such as Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities. (For additional fund descriptions, see “A Short Investment & Securities Industry Glossary” at the front of this book.) ii. How Mutual Funds Began The first true mutual fund was introduced in Boston in 1924. That fund, and the great many that followed, grew out of a practice dating to 19th Century England, where investors’ money was pooled in English and Scottish investment companies. These British investment companies financed a variety of instruments issued by businesses, such as U.S. farm mortgages and stocks in railroads and other industries. In America in the early 1920s, when the stock market was soaring, mutual funds grew in number. Shortly after the first funds were organized, however, the 1929 stock market crash ruined U.S. financial markets. Despite setbacks, well-managed investment companies continued their services. Later, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) undertook a special study of investment companies that resulted in the Investment Company
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
Act of 1940. Today, mutual fund companies are the nation’s second-largest financial deposit-holding group, surpassed only by commercial banks. iii. Initial Investment Some funds seek only larger investor accounts ($2,500 and more), while others go out of their way to attract even the smallest investors. Most fund accounts for individuals can be opened with a minimum of $1,000. The initial investment minimum is usually smaller for accounts which will be used as IRAs or which will have an automatic monthly deposit feature. Many funds also offer the convenience of writing checks as a means of withdrawal, although most limit check amounts to $250 or more. Many management companies run a family of funds offering different investment objectives, and investors commonly switch from one type of fund to another. iv. Broker/Dealers Mutual fund distributors sell fund shares through securities brokers that have a commissioned sales force (broker/dealers). In addition to traditional brokers (such as Merrill Lynch), banks, insurance agents and some financial planners have become major sellers of mutual fund accounts, earning commissions on the sales they generate. v. Ownership Options Individual investors may choose from several potential types of fund ownership. In the simplest form, an investor may own a fund account in his or her own name or jointly with a spouse. Frequently, individuals are participants in employer-sponsored retirement or savings plans. The individual may make choices within the plan regarding types of funds, but the retirement plan takes actual ownership of the fund. Individuals may also set up trusts for themselves, their children, their spouses or their heirs. These trusts may own the mutual fund shares. vi. Disclosure of Fees and Charges All mutual fund companies charge fees for the operation and management of their funds. First, a yearly management fee goes to the parent company for operating the business end of the fund. Next, an advisory fee is paid to the investment adviser, which is a related or independent company that makes the investment decisions. In addition, many funds charge a sales fee (an initial front-end load charge when the shares are purchased or a back-end load charge when
www.plunkettresearch.com
the shares are sold). Some funds are no-load, which means there is no sales fee. Information on all fees and charges must be included in a table in the fund’s prospectus (a regulated disclosure document that describes the fund). A 12b-1 fee is frequently charged, which is included in annual fund expenses and is used primarily to pay distribution and marketing costs. Under NASD (National Association of Securities Dealers) rules, 12b-1 fees cannot exceed 1% of a fund’s average net assets per year. Furthermore, the NASD imposes a rolling cap on total sales charges: 6.25% of gross new sales for funds that pay an annual service fee and 7.25% plus interest for funds that do not pay an annual service fee. Often an annual 12b-1 fee is combined with a declining charge when shares are redeemed, a type of back-end load. Many U.S. investors now purchase their mutual fund shares through discount brokers. For example, Charles Schwab’s heavily advertised One Source mutual fund service is state-of-the art and allows Schwab clients to invest in a dizzying number of different funds from different managers. vii. How Mutual Funds Work x When investors buy into a fund, they are buying shares in an investment pool that is professionally managed. x The fund invests in a wide array of companies or bonds to diversify its portfolio. x Depending on their charter, mutual funds may invest in stocks, bonds or special debt instruments such as convertible bonds, or all of the above. x Based on the performance of the portfolio of securities, the fund pays out earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends and capital gains. viii. Risks of Mutual Funds x There is no guarantee of earnings, and fund shares often decline in value. Therefore, there is no guarantee of the safety of an investor's principal. x A mutual fund is not insured as, for example, a bank deposit may be insured by the FDIC. However, some fund assets, such as GNMA mortgage securities, may have underlying government guarantees.
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
x There is great variance in the performance of the thousands of mutual funds that are available. This is due to the varying abilities of fund managers and the varying performance of the stocks and bonds in which they invest. ix. Advantages of Mutual Funds x A mutual fund may invest in dozens or even hundreds of different stocks or bonds at once, thereby offering tremendous diversification (which an individual investor would have difficulty achieving). x A mutual fund typically has full-time professional management.
www.plunkettresearch.com
invest in U.S. Government bonds and in municipal bonds may be exempt from some or all income taxes. xi. Income Taxation on Mutual Fund Shares When They are Sold by the Investor x Capital gains are taxed to the individual as ordinary income. x Capital losses can be used to offset a limited amount of capital gains, and capital losses in excess of that amount may be carried over to later years.
x Dividends and earnings on mutual fund shares are automatically reinvested in the fund until the investor makes a withdrawal.
x Changing from one fund to another within a family of funds is also considered a taxable event. Taxes must be paid by the individual investor on capital gains when this kind of exchange is made.
x Mutual funds provide investors with consistent and well-prepared records.
xii.
Within many mutual fund families, investors may exchange shares in one type of fund for shares in another. x An investor can easily meet a wide variety of objectives by purchasing mutual funds. x Mutual fund shares generally offer great liquidity. x.
Income Tax Consequences
x Shareholders of individual funds pay taxes on distributed and undistributed income from dividends and capital gains. However, until the shareholders redeem their shares, the investment company retains undistributed dividend income. x In the case of undistributed dividends, investors pay ordinary income tax in the year these dividends are credited to their account. x Distributed capital gains are created when a mutual fund sells its investments. These gains are taxed as ordinary income. x Except in the case of tax-exempt funds, mutual fund investors may be subject to ordinary income tax on distributed dividends. Funds that
Mutual Fund Management Companies Since fund management companies can charge high fees from their funds, there is very keen competition for investor dollars among these companies. Highly successful mutual funds may gather billions of dollars in investment money. While there are hundreds of relatively small players in the mutual funds management business, the most successful companies are large, well-known firms. Many of them are subsidiaries of major bank holding companies or insurance companies. Others, such as Fidelity, are giant companies that specialize in mutual funds. B. ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) An ETF, or Exchange Traded Fund, is a basket of stocks designed to mirror a particular index, such as the NASDAQ 100, while trading like shares of stock on an exchange. The price of an ETF fluctuates throughout the day, accurately reflecting the value of the underlying stocks in the basket at any time of day. Some ETFs track narrow indexes that represent specific industrial sectors, or even more limited areas such as indexes covering gold or real estate investment trusts. ETFs were designed to compete with index mutual funds (also known simply as index funds), as well as mutual funds that invest in specific industrial sectors. The largest difference is that index funds and mutual funds are priced only once daily. ETFs have low operating costs and may offer income

plans. Unfortunately, there is no strict standard for the titles by which plans are named in employee handbooks. Therefore, employers offering a 401(k) savings plan may call it by various names that imply it is more beneficial than it really is. The most generous major employers offer packages that consist of several different types of plans at once. For example: 1) A discount stock purchase plan that enables the employee to buy limited amounts of corporate stock at a discount-to-market price. The discount is typically 5% to 15%. 2) A 401(k) savings plan in which the employer matches up to 50% of the employee’s deposit. 3) A true profit-sharing plan where the firm deposits from 5% to 15% of the company’s annual pre-tax profit. It is vital that prospective employees completely understand the nature and benefits of an employer's plans. Additional plan terms are defined below.
tax advantages over index funds. Recently, the investment industry has begun offering “activelymanaged” ETFs. Rather than strictly following specific indexes or baskets of stocks, the managers of these ETFs attempt to improve returns by selecting specific investments to be held in the funds. C. Common Types of Retirement Plans x
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). This type of account was one of the original selfdirected retirement vehicles. It enables individuals to deposit money into a retirement plan and then exclude the amount deposited from the current year’s taxable income. Qualified deposits are thus fully deductible for tax purposes. However, the growth in value of the plan’s assets is taxable as it is withdrawn, and there are tax penalties for certain types of early withdrawals.
x
Roth IRAs. Several differences exist between traditional IRAs and the newer Roth IRA, which was created as part of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. The tax structure of the Roth IRA is completely different from the original IRAs. Growth is tax-free, but contributions are not made on a tax-deductible basis. Instead, they are made with after-tax dollars. However, withdrawals will not affect the investor’s taxable adjusted gross income during retirement, since withdrawals are not reportable income.
x
Small Business Plans. These plans are aimed at small businesses (generally those with fewer than 100 employees) and at the self-employed. Employer contributions may be tax-deductible under certain circumstances, and earnings may accumulate on a tax-deferred basis in qualified plans. Possible plan types include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Profit Sharing, Money Purchase Pension and SIMPLE IRA (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees).
x
Corporate Retirement and Savings or Profit Sharing Plans. Employers may establish complex tax-qualified retirement and profit sharing plans. If these plans meet qualification rules established by the IRS, contributions are tax-deductible and earnings accumulate on a taxsheltered basis. These plans typically take the form of Stock Purchase, Stock Ownership, 401(k) Savings, Profit Sharing and/or Pension
x
Defined Benefit plans are traditional pension plans, which have become less common in recent years. This type of plan pays the retiree a specific monthly amount, based upon a formula calculated against the retiree's level of salary during the end of his or her career.
x
Defined Contribution plans are now dominating the retirement plan field. In this type of plan, the employer contributes a set amount for the employee each year. For example, a 401(k) plan is a defined contribution plan. In a defined contribution plan, the retiree's payout is not a guaranteed amount (as it would be under a defined benefit plan). Instead, the amount that the retiree receives depends on the success of the investments in the retiree's account. In many cases, a large portion of the account may be invested in the employer’s stock because the employer deposits stock instead of cash. In most retirement plans, the employee has considerable leeway to choose the type of funds that his or her money is invested in and to make changes in those choices on a regular basis. The U.S. Department of Labor requires that a 401(k) plan offer several investment options. Vast choices are not uncommon. For example, employees at one major industrial firm may choose from 24 investment funds, from cash reserve accounts to growth funds to income funds.

employer deposits an amount equal to a percentage of the employee's earnings, for example 5%. The employer also guarantees a minimum return on that deposit, typically a return equal to that of a Treasury bond. x
Section 401(k) Savings Plans. This is an employer-sponsored retirement plan that enables employees to defer taxes on a portion of their salaries by earmarking that portion for the retirement plan. In a typical plan, employees may deposit 1% to 6% of earnings. The employer then matches all or a portion of the employee's deposit. A common employer match equals one-half of an employee's deposits of up to 6% of salary. In other words, if an employee deposits 6% of a $40,000 salary ($2,400), the employer would match one-half of that deposit ($1,200). The employee would then have $2,400 plus $1,200 in the savings plan ($3,600). 401(k) type plans may also be established by the selfemployed. Typical 401(k) savings plan for one year for an employee who earns $40,000 in annual salary

$2,400 $1,200 $3,600
The 401(k) account will grow on a tax-deferred basis until the employee begins drawing money at retirement. It is important to note that the provisions of these plans vary widely from one employer to the next. Some employers make no matching deposit. Some generous firms match 100% of qualified employee deposits. (Most plans also let the employee put additional deposits—above 6% of earnings—into the plan on a tax-deferred basis, but these additional deposits will not qualify for matching funds from the employer.) Not surprisingly, members of Congress have voted themselves what is probably the most generous savings plan in the nation, where the government matches 200% of their qualified deposits. It is important to note that an employer’s contribution to a 401(k) is voluntary. That is, the company may elect to lower or even drop its
x
403(b) Plan. This is an employer-sponsored retirement plan that enables employees of universities, public schools and nonprofit organizations to defer taxes on a portion of their salaries by earmarking that portion for the retirement plan. These plans are similar to 401(k) plans.
x
Vesting. Employees who are participants in retirement plans need to be keenly aware of their vesting rights within the plans. That is, certain periods of continual employment may be required before the employee earns full rights to the amounts that have been deposited by the employer.
x
Stock in the Employer. Employers that are publicly held often want their employees to own stock in the company so they will have a personal stake in the company's success. This means that many pension plans, profit sharing plans and 401(k) matching deposits may contain large amounts of stock in the employer. This is wonderful if you work for a company that is performing well and has a rapidly growing stock value. On the other hand, it can be devastating if your firm is failing, as shown by the 2001 bankruptcy of Enron and the 2002 bankruptcy of Global Crossing. Employees at some suffering firms have found themselves out of a job and owning benefit plans that have plummeted in value due to the low price per share of the employer's stock.
D. Annuities An annuity is a contract between an issuer— frequently an insurance company but sometimes a mutual fund management company—and an individual. The company agrees to provide an income, either fixed or variable in amount, for a specified period. This income is provided by the company in exchange for a stipulated investment by the individual. Hopefully, the investment will grow in value over the contract period of time, and the return to the investor will result in a good investment
Plunkett Research, Ltd.
overall. The annuity investment amount has an opportunity to grow on an income tax-deferred basis. Under most circumstances, income taxes are not due until income is withdrawn from the annuity. Consequently, annuities make excellent vehicles for retirement savings. For example, an individual who is already putting the maximum allowable amount into a 401(k) savings plan and an IRA may want to set additional tax-deferred retirement funds aside in an annuity. Or, an individual who has come into a large amount of cash, from the sale of a business for example, may want to deposit into an annuity, for future retirement, a substantial amount in one payment. An annuity is an excellent vehicle for such situations. Annuities are also used to fund special circumstances. For example, a person who is injured in an accident may receive an annuity in settlement of damages. In this case, the defendant may put a specified amount, say $1 million, into an annuity with an insurance company. The insurance company might then pay to the injured party a monthly income for life, and that annuity investment would be professionally managed without the need for any personal input or oversight by the beneficiary. i.
How Annuities Work
x The person who will have the future income is called the “annuitant.” x The annuitant deposits a sum of money with the company (the “insurer”), either in one large payment or in a series of smaller payments extended over a certain period of time. For example, the annuitant who wants to save on a regular basis might deposit $100 per month until retirement age. The investor who wants to set aside a large amount of cash for future retirement might pay a lump sum of $100,000 into the account. x At a specified time, the issuing company begins making payments to the annuitant. Generally, this begins upon the retirement of the investor. x These payments to the annuitant will most likely total more than the original amount paid in, as a result of applied interest, capital gains and dividends. Hopefully, the value of the account has grown. If the annuity has been in existence
www.plunkettresearch.com
for a long period of time, it may have built up very substantial value. x Payments may be made to the investor under several different options. For example, a retiree may receive monthly payments for the rest of his or her life. Or, the annuity contract may call for payments to be made for a specified period of time—for example, 25 years. ii. Types of Annuities x Immediate Annuities are purchased with a lump sum of money, a single premium. Payments back to the annuitant begin almost immediately. For example, if the annuitant will receive a monthly check, the first payment begins a month after the annuity is purchased. x Deferred Annuities are those for which payments to the annuitant are deferred for several years. This period of time gives the investment in the annuity an opportunity to grow. This type of annuity may be purchased either with a single lump-sum premium or with a series of smaller investments (such as monthly investments over a period of years). x Fixed Annuities (or “fixed-dollar” annuities) provide a guaranteed amount of money in each payout period. x Variable Annuities are funded by separate accounts that invest in mutual funds or the stock market. The difference between variable and fixed annuities is the way they are invested. Fixed annuities are invested in relatively safe, stable bonds and mortgages, which may have a low return. Variable annuities may be invested in the stock market, which is riskier, but may have a higher return over a long period of time. Because the value of a variable annuity rises and falls with market conditions, the issuing company offers a variable rate, based on performance. If the company provides astute management, and if market conditions are favorable, annuitants have the opportunity to earn considerably more money under a variable annuity. Many variable annuities are structured so that the annuitant directs which funds or types of investments are used.

E. Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs) Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs) appeal to retirement plan beneficiaries who do not tolerate risk well and are therefore willing to accept a modest but guaranteed return. These are typically sold to corporate 401(k) and pension plans. They guarantee a specific return on invested capital over the life of the contract. F. Health Savings Account (HSA) A health savings account (sometimes called Medical Savings Account) is a plan that combines a tax-free savings and investment account (somewhat similar to a 401k) with a high-deductible health coverage plan. The intent is to give the consumer more incentive to control health care costs by reducing unnecessary care while shopping for the best prices. The consumer contributes pre-tax dollars annually to a savings account (up to $2,900 for an individual or $5,800 for a family, as of 2008). The employer may or may not match part of that contribution. The account may be invested in stocks, bonds or mutual funds. It grows tax-free, but the money may be spent only on health care. Unspent money stays in the account at the end of each year. The consumer must purchase an insurance policy or health care plan with an annual deductible of at least $1,000 for individuals or $2,000 for families. G. Alternative Investment Vehicles Designed for Wealthy Households, Pension Plans and Trusts Several alternative investment vehicles have been designed specifically to offer specialty opportunities to organizations and people who have large amounts of money that they want to diversify. These specialty investments typically face much higher management fees and higher risks than standard stock or bond funds. However, some managers of alternative investments have been able to create significant profits for their clients, and it is this potential that attracts billions of dollars into alternative investments each year. x Hedge Funds are managed by investment professionals, analysts, computer programmers and mathematicians who create unique investment plans that are often driven by proprietary computer programs. They may invest in combinations of commodities, currencies, stocks, bonds or derivatives; buy or sell options; make loans; underwrite insurance risks; and make direct investments in companies and/or take other extreme
www.plunkettresearch.com
positions designed to take advantage of their own forecasts of market conditions. x Venture Capital Funds are managed by professionals who attempt to find the most promising growth company or start up company opportunities. These funds underwrite those companies with the goal of earning extremely high returns on investments when these companies that they have funded go public or are sold. x Private Equity Funds are managed by people who often include experienced executives and seasoned entrepreneurs, along with analysts and financial professionals.

Income taxes refer to Federal, State and Local income taxes. Annual data are average equity for the year (using four end-of-quarter figures). 3 Beginning 1988, profits before and after income taxes reflect inclusion of minority stockholders' interest in net income before and after income taxes. 4 Data for 1992 reflect the early adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 106 (Employer's Accounting for PostRetirement Benefits Other Than Pensions) by a large number of companies during the fourth quarter of 1992. Data for 1993 also reflect adoption of Statement 106. Corporations must show the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first quarter of the year in which the change is adopted. 2

Chapter 4 THE INVESTMENT 350: WHO THEY ARE AND HOW THEY WERE CHOSEN Includes Indexes by Company Name, Industry & Location, And a Complete Table of Sales, Profits and Ranks
The companies chosen to be listed in PLUNKETT’S INVESTMENT & SECURITIES INDUSTRY ALMANAC comprise a unique list. THE INVESTMENT 350 (the actual count is 350 companies) were chosen specifically for their dominance in the many facets of the investment and securities industry in which they operate. Complete information about each firm can be found in the “Individual Profiles,” beginning at the end of this chapter. These profiles are in alphabetical order by company name. THE INVESTMENT 350 includes leading companies from all parts of the United States as well as many other nations, and from all investment and related industry segments including regional, national and global brokerage firms; banks; exchanges, asset management firms and more. Simply stated, the list contains 350 of the largest, most successful, fastest growing firms in investments and related industries in the world. To be included in our list, the firms had to meet the following criteria:
1) Generally, these are corporations based in the U.S., however, the headquarters of 92 firms are located in other nations. 2) Prominence, or a significant presence, in investment and supporting fields. (See the following Industry Codes section for a complete list of types of businesses that are covered). 3) The companies in THE INVESTMENT 350 do not have to be exclusively in the investment and securities field. 4) Financial data and vital statistics must have been available to the editors of this book, either directly from the company being written about or from outside sources deemed reliable and accurate by the editors. A small number of companies that we would like to have included are not listed because of a lack of sufficient, objective data.

INDEXES TO THE FIRMS, AS FOUND IN THIS CHAPTER AND IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK: Industry List, With Codes p. 76 Index of Rankings Within Industry Groups p. 77 Alphabetical Index p. 86 Index of U.S. Headquarters Location by State p. 89 Index of Non-U.S. Headquarters Location by Country p. 93 Index by Regions of the U.S. Where the Firms Have Locations p. 95 Index by Firms with International Operations p. 104 Index of Firms Noted as “Hot Spots for Advancement” for Women/Minorities p. 460 Index by Subsidiaries, Brand Names and Selected Affiliations p. 462
INDUSTRY LIST, WITH CODES This book refers to the following list of unique industry codes, based on the 2007 NAIC code system (NAIC is used by many analysts as a replacement for older SIC codes because NAIC is more specific to today’s industry sectors, see www.census.gov/NAICS). Companies profiled in this book are given a primary NAIC code, reflecting the main line of business of each firm.

Affiliated Managers Group (AMG) is an asset management company with equity investments in a diverse group of midsized investment management firms (its affiliates) in three principal distribution channels: mutual fund, institutional and high-net-worth. The company typically acquires a controlling interest in a firm, allowing the management to retain the remaining equity interests and operating autonomy. AMG provides assistance to its affiliates in identifying opportunities for expansion, marketing, distribution, product development and operations. Company growth stems from the internal growth of its affiliate companies as well as investments in new affiliates. AMG’s affiliated firms manage approximately $200 billion in assets in a wide range of over 300 investment products. Through its mutual fund distribution channel, AMG provides advisory or sub-advisory services to more than 100 mutual funds, which are distributed to retail and institutional clients directly and through intermediaries, including independent investment advisors, retirement plan sponsors, broker-dealers, major fund marketplaces and bank trust deposits. Through its institutional distribution channel, AMG offers 200 investment products across approximately 50 different investment styles. In addition, its affiliates offer quantitative, alternative, credit arbitrage and fixed income products. The company’s high-net-worth distribution channel is comprised broadly of two client groups. The first group consists principally of high net worth individuals, families and charitable foundations. For these clients, affiliates provide investment management or customized investment counseling and fiduciary services. Within this group, the company is currently distributing around 35 investment products managed by eight affiliates. The second group consists of individual managed account client relationships established through intermediaries, generally brokerage firms or other sponsors.

American International Group, Inc. (AIG) until recently was one of the largest underwriters of commercial and industrial insurance in the world, as well as a provider of a wide variety of financial services. In the fall of 2008, the U.S. government provided a $150 billion bailout of AIG in order to prevent the firm from being forced into bankruptcy. This bailout, in the form of loans at high interest rates and warrants giving the government the right to own up to 80% of the firm's stock, gave the government effective control of the company. AIG is selling off assets as quickly as possible in order to repay the loan. The biggest problem was AIG's massive obligations in the form of credit default swaps (CDS) that it had underwritten. While the business unit that wrote these CDS created only a small portion of AIG’s revenues, it exposed the firm to extremely high potential risks. The company hopes to refocus primarily as a U.S. property and casualty company, with foreign general insurance and life insurance operations. To that end, AIG plans to form a holding company which will be called AIU Holdings, Inc. It will be composed of AIG’s Commercial Insurance Group, Foreign General unit and other property and casualty operations. In September 2009, AIG announced plans to sell a portion of its investment advisory and asset management business to Bridge Partners, L.P., a unit of private investment firm Pacific Century Group (PCG) based in Hong Kong. AIG's continuing investment operation oversees approximately $480 billion in assets. Today, AIG has operations in more than 130 countries, serving commercial, institutional and individual customers, in addition to providing retirement services, financial services and asset management. AIG offers its employees a wide variety of insurance plans, a health care reimbursement account and a health advisory program.

The January 2009 Merrill Lynch acquisition increased Bank of America’s financial advisor ranks to more than 20,000, making it the largest stock brokerage in the world in that regard, and boosted the total amount of client assets under management to $2.5 trillion. This acquisition includes a 50% ownership in asset management firm BlackRock.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Private Equity Investments Fund Ownership & Management
Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. (CDR) is one of the oldest private equity investment firms in the world. It currently manages funds with a combined valuation of over $6 billion, on behalf of major pension funds, university endowments and other financial institutions. The company targets divisions of large corporations and businesses facing difficult financial situations. In the past several years, it has focused on divisions of European-based parent companies that have significant North American operations.

The firm derives its business and management expertise from its partners, many of whom are former leading executives (including special partner John F. Welch, Jr., former Chairman and CEO of GE). Outside of the U.S., the firm has investments in France, Germany, Italy and the U.K.; and is in the process of developing a strategic alliance network in Asia. CDR recently acquired HD Supply from The Home Depot. In 2008, the company acquired Bodycote Testing group, a materials testing business from Bodycote plc. In October 2009, the firm invested $250 million in and thereby acquired roughly 68.5% of NCI Building Systems, Inc. In November 2009, CDR acquired approximately 46% of JohnsonDiversey, Inc., through a $477 million investment.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Investment Management-Hedge Funds Corporate Bond & Debt Offerings Arbitrage
Clinton Group, Inc. is a hedge fund company. The firm manages over $1.1 billion in hedge fund products for banks, insurance firms, pension funds, public funds and wealthy individuals in the U.S. and abroad. In addition, the company manages approximately $5 billion in structured corporate bond offerings (CBO) and corporate debt offerings (CDO) assets. Clinton Group’s various funds focus on relative value investing (or arbitrage), in which it takes simultaneous long and short positions in closely related markets. The company is mainly engaged in mortgage arbitrage, global fixed income arbitrage, convertible arbitrage, event-driven arbitrage and multi-market arbitrage. Mortgage arbitrage exploits relativevalue influences in the mortgage-backed securities market. Global fixed-income arbitrage focuses on inefficiencies in the sovereign debt markets that arise due to differences in the flow of funds in particular sectors. Convertible arbitrage involves the purchase of convertible bonds determined to be undervalued based upon their relationship to their underlying stock. Event-driven arbitrage profits from relative-value inefficiencies that arise in merger and acquisition situations. It involves the sale or purchase of stock in a company to be acquired, offset by an opposite trade in the stock of the acquirer. Multi-market arbitrage uses all of the techniques found in other arbitrage areas but focuses on the assetallocation to different sectors of global fixed income and equity markets.

Clipper Fund, Inc. manages a single no-load equity mutual fund, advised by Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. The fund is directed solely at investors in the U.S., and requires a minimum investment of $10,000. The investment strategy is one of intensive research, where fund managers meet with company executives and employ a variety of research tools and analysis to determine the company’s intrinsic value. As a rule, the fund only invests in large U.S. companies (generally with market capitalizations of $5 billion or greater at the time of purchase), which it believes are selling at a price that is lower than their intrinsic value. Primary sectors invested in by the fund are financials, insurance, consumer staple goods and energy, with smaller holdings in the energy and technology sectors. The fund’s top holdings include ConocoPhilips; American Express; Costco Wholesale; Proctor and Gamble; and Berkshire Hathaway.

Dai-Ichi Mutual Life Insurance Company is one of the leading insurers in Japan and ranks among the world's largest insurance firms. It provides group and individual life insurance, pension products and asset and risk management services. Dai-Ichi offers a number of life and medical plans including its low-premium Dodo Jinsei (Dignified Life) series and Shiawase Monogatari (Happy Story), a defined benefit annuity product, as well as plans aimed at helping customers build savings for future educational costs. Other plans include Ino Ichiban (Medical First), a comprehensive medical insurance plan; Iryo no Odo (Medical Mainstream), a lifetime medical insurance plan for seniors; Shuyaku Sengen, a medical care insurance plan aimed at men aged 45 and over; and Watashi no Hanamichi, a medical insurance plan for women. The company’s investment division operates on what it terms an asset liability management (ALM) approach, a system for controlling operating assets and liabilities in terms of long-term performance. As a result, the firm’s investment portfolio has traditionally been heavily rooted in domestic bonds and loans, though efforts have also been made to increase profits by adding in certain stocks and foreign securities. Dai-Ichi also provides non-life insurance through Sompo Japan Insurance, Inc. and cancer insurance through a partnership with American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus (AFLAC). In August 2008, the company acquired an approximately 30% stake in Tower Australia Group Limited, as well as a 25% stake in Ocean Life Insurance Co. In January 2009, the firm announced the launch of a new joint venture life insurance company in India, Star Union Dai-Ichi Life Insurance Company Limited. The company has announced its intent to demutualize and go public during the first half of 2010.

Securities Trading Online Trading Software
Daishin Securities Co., Ltd., founded in 1962, is a leading Korean financial services company and securities trader, offering advanced online trading options for individual and corporate clients. Its CYBOS brand online trading software, among the first products to introduce home trading to Korea, comes in five different varieties. CYBOS Trader features a customizable framework and multiple data analyzing and display programs to aid the investor in devising an investment strategy. U-CYBOS is a user-friendly version of CYBOS that does not have as many customizable options as the Trader variation, but does provide custom-made investment information supplied through Daishin. CYBOS Oneclick Pro is a streamlined version of the CYBOS program, featuring a minimal graphical interface and fewer analytical options. CYBOS I is another mini CYBOS program, similar to the Oneclick version. CYBOS Plus is a programming framework that enables further customization of the U-CYBOS package, allowing the customer to create and utilize a program that follows their own investment style. The company is expanding its CYBOS market slowly through export contracts with other companies in Taiwan, Japan and China. Daishin provides daily reports on the stock market, as well as what it calls a morning meeting brief, company and sector overviews and a market strategy report, all available for free on its web site. The company also provides other services, such as working with insurance and credit card agencies and operating as an investment banker; however, its online activities still account for most of its trading. In May 2008, the firm opened a representative office in Shanghai, China. In February 2009, a new company subsidiary, Daishin Securities Asia (Hong Kong) Limited, launched its operations.

Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ) is an early stage venture capital firm with more than $6 billion in capital investments. Founded in 1985 in Silicon Valley, the company primarily invests in companies utilizing anything and everything associated with the Internet, including Internet applications, wireless advances, e-commerce, bandwidth improvements, semiconductors, telephony software, networking software and other information technology. DFJ has backed over 600 companies since its founding, including Hotmail, Baidu, Skype, United Online, Overture, iShip.com, Interwoven, Four11, NetZero, Athena Health, Parametric, ViaFone and Digidesign. Other investment areas include nanotechnology, energy (especially alternative energy), hardware and life sciences.

Some of the most notable buyouts include Hotmail, the free e-mail provider bought by Microsoft in 1995 for $400 million; Skype, an Internet telephony provider bought by eBay in 2006 for $2.3 billion; and Baidu, a Chinese Internet search engine (sometimes called the Google of China), which recently had an IPO that became one of the most successful foreign IPOs in the U.S. market, raising $109 million in its first day of trading. DFJ maintains an affiliate network with over 16 other venture capital firms, allowing teams from multiple companies to work together in analyzing deals and pooling resources to create more investment opportunities.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Investment Banking Merger, Acquisition & Divestiture Advisory Services Financing & Restructuring Advisory Asset Management
Evercore Partners, Inc. is an investment banking firm providing advisory services to multinational corporations on significant mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings and other strategic corporate transactions. The company’s operations consist of two business segments: advisory and investment management. The advisory segment provides confidential, strategic and tactical advice to both public and private companies, with a particular focus on large, multinational corporations. Advisory generates revenue from fees for providing advice on matters of strategic importance to its clients, including mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, divestitures, leveraged buy-outs, recapitalizations and other corporate transactions. In 2008 this segment generated 95% of the firm’s net revenue and earned advisory fees from 149 clients. The investment management business principally invests capital on behalf of third parties. It encompasses three sectors: private equity, institutional asset management and wealth management. The company’s private equity business is composed of five private equity funds in the U.S. and Mexico: Evercore Capital Partners L.P., Evercore Capital Partners II L.P., Evercore Venture Partners L.P, Discovery Americas I and Evercore Mexico Capital Partners II. The firm’s institutional asset management activities are conducted through Evercore Asset Management L.L.C. (EAM) in the U.S. and Protego Casa de Bolsa (PCB) in Mexico. Evercore’s wealth management operations are conducted through Evercore Wealth Management (EWM) in the U.S. and Evercore Pan-Asset Capital Management (Pan) in the U.K. Investment management generates revenue from fees earned for managing private equity funds and the portfolio companies of the Private Equity Funds; incentive fees, referred to as carried interest, earned when certain financial returns are achieved over the life of a fund; through net gains and losses on investments of its own capital in the funds; from managing funds invested in public securities; and from other sources. In June 2009, the firm opened an office in San Francisco. The firm offers its employees a 401(k) plan.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Investments, Private Equity Funds Investments, Hedge Funds Publicly Traded Alternative Investment Vehicles
Fortress Investment Group, LLC is a global alternative asset manager with roughly $32 billion in assets under management. The company raises, invests and manages private equity funds, hedge funds and publicly traded alternative investment vehicles. The private equity business is made up of a series of funds named the Fortress Investment Funds and organized to make control-oriented investments in cash flow generating, asset-based businesses in North America and Europe. In addition, the firm manages the Long Dated Value family of funds, which focuses on making investments with long dated cash flows that may be undervalued. The hedge fund business focuses on absolute returns and is comprised of two business segments: hybrid hedge funds and liquid hedge funds. The hybrid hedge funds are designed to exploit pricing anomalies that exist between the public and private finance markets. The funds are able to invest a wide array of financial instruments, ranging from assets, opportunistic lending situations and securities throughout the capital structure with a value orientation. The liquid hedge funds, which invest daily in markets around the globe, seek to exploit opportunities in global currency, interest rate, equity and commodity markets and their related derivatives. The funds invest with a focus on preservation of capital. The company also manages two publicly traded companies: Newcastle Investment Corp. and Eurocastle Investment, Ltd., which make investments in a wide variety of real estate related assets, including securities, loans and real estate properties. Fortress Investment earns and manages fees based on the size of its funds, incentive income based on the performance of its funds and investment income from its principal investments in those funds. In June 2009, the company received approval to manage the funds and accounts of D.B. Zwirn & Co., L.P. The funds will be renamed the Fortress Value Recovery Funds I.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Investment Banking Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory Services Merchant Banking Fund Management Fund Placement Services
Greenhill & Company, Inc. is an independent investment banking company. The firm has two basic divisions: financial advisory and merchant banking fund management. The financial advisory section provides a wide range of advice to global clients in regards to mergers, acquisitions, restructurings and similar corporate finance matters, and is generally involved at each stage of these transactions, from initial structuring to final execution. Acquisition advisory services include valuation, tactics, industry dynamic, structuring alternative, timing and pricing of transaction and financing alternative advisory services and the rendering of fairness opinions. Through its restructuring practice, the firm advises debtors, creditors and companies experiencing financial distress, as well as potential acquirers of distressed companies and assets. The firm also offers advice on valuation, restructuring alternatives, capital structures and sales or recapitalizations; and fund placement services for private equity and other financial sponsors. Financial advisory activities account for 98% of company revenues. The firm’s merchant banking fund management activities consist primarily of an investment in Greenhill Capital Partners, Greenhill SAV Partners and Greenhill Capital Partners Europe, which are families of merchant banking funds that invest in portfolio companies. These are generally non-public companies intending to divest within 3-5 years. Merchant banking activities account for 2% of company revenues. Greenhill has locations in New York, London, Frankfurt, Toronto, San Francisco and Dallas, and in late 2008 opened offices in Tokyo and Chicago. In September 2009, the company acquired Iridium Holdings LLC, a provider of voice and data mobile satellite services, which was renamed Iridium Communications, Inc.

As one of the strongest financial organizations in America, JPM was able to grow significantly in 2008 by acquiring the assets of two major companies during the global financial crisis. In March 2008, JPM purchased the assets of Bear Stearns & Co., one of America's largest investment banking firms. In September 2008, the firm acquired the assets of Washington Mutual (WAMU), one of the nation's largest savings associations, after federal regulators took control of WAMU due to massive losses in its mortgage portfolio. These acquisitions boosted JPM to $2.03 trillion in assets and 5,410 branches in 23 states. In addition, it grew to 14,272 ATMs and 238,792 employees. JPM provides investment banking; financial services; financial transaction processing; asset and wealth management; and private equity services for consumers and businesses. Among JPM’s principal subsidiaries are JPMorgan Chase Bank, a national banking association; Chase Bank USA, the firm’s leading provider of credit cards; and J.P. Morgan Securities, an investment banking firm. The company is organized into six segments: investment banking; retail finance; card services; commercial banking; treasury and securities; and asset management.

In the investment banking sector, JPM provides strategic advice, capital raising and risk management expertise in areas such as healthcare, technology, energy, real estate and transportation.

Lloyds Banking Group plc, formerly Lloyds TSB Group plc, is a leading U.K. banking company, with approximately 2,000 locations in England, Scotland and Wales. Its activities are organized into several divisions, including U.K. Retail Banking; Insurance and Investments; and Wholesale and International Banking. Lloyds Retail Banking provides banking, financial services, mortgages and private banking to some 16 million personal customers; it also offers Internet and telephone banking to some 5.2 million and 5.7 million customers, respectively. Business in this segment is done largely through Lloyds TSB Bank and Lloyds TSB Scotland plc. The group’s Insurance and Investments division offers life assurance, pensions and investment products, general insurance and fund management services. Subsidiary Scottish Widows provides the firm’s life assurance, pensions and investment products, which are distributed through a combination of the company’s branch networks, independent financial advisers and directly via the telephone and the Internet. Lloyds TSB General Insurance, one of the U.K.’s leading household insurance distributors, offers its products through retail branches of Lloyds TSB Bank. The Wholesale and International Banking division provides banking and related services for major U.K. and multinational corporate and financial institutions as well as for small and mediumsized U.K. businesses. In January 2009, the firm completed its acquisition of mortgage lender HBOS plc. The HBOS acquisition included massive amounts of bad mortgage investments that, combined with the global financial crisis, threatened to put Lloyds into a tailspin. The U.K. government, in order to allow the deal to go through, provided guarantees for $367 billion in risky assets at Lloyds, with the government controlling 40% of Lloyds’ stock as a result. In September 2008, the firm agreed to acquire HBOS PLC, one of the world's largest mortgage lenders. The government of the U.K. made a substantial investment in the merged bank, resulting in the government owning 40% of the firm. For 2010, the company plans to raise as much as $21 billion in new capital while winding down the government's guarantee program.

The company’s business has four core areas: capital markets, trading services, market data information and derivatives. The capital markets segment enables companies worldwide to raise capital, through listing on one of the exchange’s four primary markets: the main market, which represents approximately 1,600 established companies from 60 countries; the alternative investment market (AIM), a leading small-cap growth market representing approximately 3,000 companies; the professional securities market, which allows companies to raise capital through the issue of debt and depositary receipts; and the specialist fund market, dedicated to highly specialized investment products that are targeted primarily at institutional and professional investors. The trading services segment encompasses a variety of trading platforms, such as SETS, SET Sqx and SEAQ, designed to facilitate the roughly 1 million trades executed each day on the exchange. The market data information segment supplies real-time and historical prices, news and other information to investors and market participants, both directly and through third-party market data distributors. This segment’s Infolect system provides tick-by-tick information to more than 139,000 installed terminals in over 100 countries worldwide. The firm’s derivatives business represents a diversification beyond the exchange’s core equity markets. Through its international equity derivatives exchange, EDX London, members can trade standardized and flexible futures and options on both indices and single stocks across a range of international markets. Qatar Investment Authority holds roughly 15% of LSE, while Borse Dubai Limited maintains a 20.6% share. In May 2009, TMX Group, Inc. acquired a 19.9% share in the EDX London derivatives exchange for approximately $7 million. In September 2009, the exchange announced an approximate 12% staff reduction. In October 2009, LSE acquired MilleniumIT, a Sri Lankan software development and IT enterprise services firm, for approximately $30 million.

Through over 10,000 licensed sales professionals, Midland offers life insurance in 49 states and also serves Washington, D.C., the Virgin Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico and various overseas military installations. Life insurance policy types offered by Midland include the following. Its term life policies provide affordable temporary coverage for protection against outstanding loans and debts; for protection against financial hardship in the event of the loss of a parent; to guard against potential future un-insurability; to cover other family members; and to protect key people during the formative years of a business. Its whole life policies, the traditional form of permanent life insurance, provide level premiums, a guaranteed interest rate and a guaranteed death benefit. The firm’s universal life insurance policies offer a flexible premium and adjustable policy feature options; these options allow the client to raise or lower their death benefit as needed, or even withdraw or borrow money from the cash value of the policy to help pay for educational expenses. Midland’s indexed universal polices offer interest linked to a stock market index; these policies also offer adjustable features, and the death benefits offered by them are often free of federal income taxes. Variable universal policies offer standard universal life insurance combined with an investment portfolio, with the investment strategy dictated by the client. Lastly, the firm offers annuities that grow and compound earnings without accruing current income taxes. Beyond these services, Midland also offers financial planning and business insurance. Midland offers its employees flexible spending accounts; tuition assistance; an employee assistance program; and health, dental and vision insurance.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Investment Advisory Services Mutual Fund Management Wealth Management Trade Execution Consulting
Neuberger Berman Group LLC, is an investment advisory firm providing clients with a wide array of investment products, services and strategies. Primarily, Neuberger Berman serves high-net-worth individuals, institutions, corporations, pension funds, foundations and endowments. Through its subsidiaries, the company has over $169 billion in assets under management and operates in several sectors: wealth management, mutual funds and professional securities services. The firm spreads about 45% of its assets in core and specialty fixed income and liquidity portfolios, 45% in an array of equity portfolios and about 10% in alternative investment products such as private equity and hedge funds. In the wealth management segment, the company offers private asset management to accounts over $1 million; fiduciary services and wealth planning to individuals; and, for institutions, trust and investment management. Subsidiary Neuberger Berman Management, Inc. is involved in the management, administration and distribution of mutual funds and related services. The firm, in general, offers mutual fund investments for both individuals and investors, closed-end funds and broker advised products. For institutional investors with accounts of $10 million or more, Neuberger offers balanced, fixed income and equity strategies. The company’s professional securities operations focus mainly on services such as trade execution, custody, clearance and settlement, margin financing, portfolio reporting and consulting advice. In May 2009, the company underwent an employee-led buyout following the collapse of its previous owner, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. In July 2009, the firm agreed to acquire elements of Lehman Brothers Trust Company, N.A. and Lehman Brothers Trust Company of Delaware, which specialize in trust, estate and investment services. Neuberger Berman's money managers are not organized around a central committee like many firms; employees instead operate in small investment teams, an arrangement that allows them a greater deal of autonomy. The company believes this allows money managers to pursue more custom tailored portfolios.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Pension Funds Retirement Plans Employee Benefits
The New York State and Local Retirement System is a government-owned pension fund operated by the New York State Comptroller. The number of state government employees that receive retirement through the firm has reached more than 1 million participants, about 350,000 of which are retirees and beneficiaries. Participants in the system include police, firefighters, correction officers, teachers and other public employees. The system is divided between the Police and Fire Retirement System, with approximately 36,000 members; and the Employees’ Retirement System, with more than 626,000 members. Both of the programs provide retirement, disability and death benefits for participating personnel. Additionally, the system provides survivor benefits to relatives of the state of New York. The firm also provides almost 100 different benefit programs, including funds for college savings, environmental repair after oil spills, and cash and debt management. An excess of 80% of the retirees registered in the state program maintain residence in New York, therefore the majority of payments dispersed will eventually filter back into the state’s economy. Thomas DiNapoli, the state comptroller, is the sole trustee and steward of the Common Retirement Fund, which has assets valued at more than $156 billion, along with the other funds.

The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (RBS) is one of Europe’s leading financial groups. The firm has over 2,250 office locations and 6,600 ATMs worldwide. RBS operates along five business lines: global markets, regional markets, RBS insurance, group manufacturing and The Centre. The global markets segment is focused on the provision of debt and equity financing, risk management and transaction banking services to large businesses and financial institutions around the world. The segment divides its operations into global banking and markets and global transaction services. The regional markets segment is organized into retail and commercial banking in the U.K., the U.S., Europe and the Middle East and Asia. RBS Insurance sells and underwrites retail and small and medium enterprise (SME). Group manufacturing comprises the firm’s worldwide manufacturing operations. It supports the customer-facing businesses, operational technology, account management, lending and money transmission, global purchasing and other services. The Centre comprises group and corporate functions including capital raising, finance, risk management, communications and human resources. Brand names include Ulster Bank; NatWest; Royal Bank of Scotland; Lombard and Citizens Financial Group. In August 2009, Australia and NewZealand Banking Group agreed to buy RBS retail, wealth and commercial businesses in Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia and Hong Kong, and the institutional operations in Taiwan, the Philippines and Vietnam at a price of $775 million. Also in August 2009, MCB Bank Ltd. agreed to buy RBS holdings in Pakistan for $87 million. Continued restructuring, including asset sales, are likely in 2010-2011. RBS was lead investor in a group that acquired banking giant ABN Amro in 2007. Later, RBS was forced to accept a massive injection of capital from the U.K. government during the financial crisis of 2008-09, which resulted in the government becoming a controlling shareholder, eventually owning as much as 84% of the company. In 2010, the company is likely to sell hundreds of bank branches along with its insurance business and parts of its investment banking business.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Stock Exchange Securities Clearing & Settlement Services Market Information Services Regulatory & Compliance Oversight
Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), founded in 1878, provides an exchange securities market under the authorization of Japan, listing 2,370 companies. The company’s major functions are the provision of a market place, including operating computerized trading systems and making transaction prices available to the public; monitoring trade and reporting of rule violations, improper conduct or unfair trading; listing securities; monitoring listed securities, including receiving and analyzing corporate and security information, maintaining disclosure guidelines, providing a filing system that facilitates investor access to disclosure documents and if necessary, the suspension or delisting of securities; and the supervision of trading participants, including an examination system whereby strict investigations are carried out to assess the state of prospective participants' businesses and assets at the time of their application for trading permission. Besides its equity market, TSE provides derivatives products markets, as for government bond and TOPIX futures; and is considering adding REIT, commodity ETFs and mini-TOPIX futures. The exchange operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary Japan Securities Settlement & Custody, Inc. (JSSC), which independently performs settlement and custody services for a broad range of securities transactions involving foreign equities and publicly-issued bonds; and handles deposit, delivery and custody of domestic stocks as commissioned by the Japan Securities Depository Center (JASDEC). The role of settlement and depository entity for TSE's foreign stock market recently began being transferred in stages from JSSC to JASDEC. TSE also owns 86.3% of Japan Securities Clearing Corporation (JSCC), which is coowned by all six Japanese stock exchanges. JSCC is a cross-market clearing organization for stocks and other securities traded in Japan, performing collateral management and custody operations. Trading participant fees generate 39.1% of TSE’s revenues; securities settlement, 15.8%; information services, 16.6%; listing fees, 12%; other operating income, 5.3%; and system development and operations, 11.2%. In late 2009, TSE completed a $140 million electronic trading upgrade that dramatically increased trading speeds.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Company & Enterprise Management Film Production Entertainment Investments Telecommunications Investments Sports Teams Real Estate Museums
Vulcan, Inc. was founded by Paul Allen, Microsoft’s cofounder, to research and implement his investments, and does everything from building museums and making original motion pictures to launching businesses and developing new technologies. It invests heavily in the Pacific Northwest and primarily focuses on projects involving education, preserving history and the arts. Though the company believes that technology can enhance these projects and deliver them to a broader audience, achieving high levels of creativity is its main objective. Its creative projects include Vulcan Productions, several museums and The Hospital. Vulcan Productions is an independent film studio whose recent productions include Where God Left His Shoes; Bickford Shmeckler’s Cool Ideas; Hard Candy; and Far From Heaven. Vulcan’s museums include the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame, the STARTUP Gallery and the Flying Heritage Collection of rare WWII airplanes. The Hospital is a multiuse venue for international music and film professionals created from the derelict St. Paul’s Hospital in the London borough of Camden. The firm owns two major league sports teams, the Seattle Seahawks and Portland Trail Blazers, as well as various real estate properties, including 505 Union Station in Seattle, a 291,860 square foot office building where the company headquarters are located. Vulcan invests in companies that fit Allen’s Wired-World strategy to contribute to or benefit from the technology of other companies within Vulcan’s extensive investment portfolio. In October 2009, the firm, along with new software company Xiant, released Xiant Filer an email organizer which is compatible with Microsoft Office Outlook. Vulcan offers its employees apartment assistance, an employee assistance plan, insurance benefits for domestic partners, tuition reimbursement, up to $100 a month for transportation, an on-premises athletic facility and health club membership.
