Function[edit]

It could be argued that the purpose of pooling accounts isn't really to eliminate adverse selection. Is there a source that says that?Protonk (talk) 07:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why are we listing investment banks??[edit]

Listing specific companies in this article seems out of place and commercial. The article covers a very high level topic, and is global in nature. Let's remove the references to specific investment banks and replace that with discussion of what an investment bank is and how they fit under the FI heading. --Pearrari (talk) 02:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Banking institution[edit]

It seems to me that Banking institution could easily redirect here, and its content incorporated here. -Pnm (talk) 06:09, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Section with no meaning moved[edit]

I had no idea what this section was trying to say so I moved it here. If meaning can be extracted from that, with a couple of reliable sources, it might be good to put it back in the article. It looks currently incomplete and confused:

Corporate valuation

Relative metrics : =firm wields capital machinery (asset) and the loans (liabilities) it used to finance that asset. The line is blurred in Financial Institutions, which must hold deposit accounts (liabilities) to fuel the issuance of loans (assets). The same accounts are considered loans as they are held in ownership not of the bank, but of the individual client.

Dividend Discount Model : Earnings-per-share

Dividends-per-share

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Model : You'll need the FCFE (Free Cash Flow for Equity), which is the amount of money that is returned to shareholders. Calculate an FCFF (Free Cash Flow to the Firm): EBIT (1-tax rate) -Capital Expenditures+ (Depreciation & Amortization) - (Net increase in working capital)= FCFF

FCFF-Debt+Cash=FCFE

Use the Capital Asset Pricing Model, not the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (for the same reasons one uses Equity Multiples in relative valuation) to determine thecost of equity (the return required by shareholders to make the decision to invest in a financial institutions)

Excess Return Model : A model where valuation is expressed as the sum of capital invested currently in the firm and the present value of dollar excess returns that the firm expects to make in the future.[1]

Standard - Standing Settlement Instructions[edit]

I don't know who uses "standard". The DTCC website for their Alert product, which is the most widely used database for settlement instructions in the world, describes it as "standing settlement instructions (SSI)WikiDorset (talk) 15:14, 6 April 2017 (UTC)".[reply]

Why is my cards to get declined?[edit]
