21 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Canada Inc. Slide 8–21 Banker’s Acceptances A method whereby smaller companies can access the money market The company issues a Promissory Note The company’s bank stamps the Note “Accepted” and charges the company a stamping fee The Note is then sold into the money market, carrying the risk rating of the bank that accepted the note, rather than the risk rating of the company that issued it.

22 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Canada Inc. Slide 8–22 Advantages to Banker’s Acceptances 1.Smaller companies gain access to lower rates in the money market 2.Bank earns a stamping fee to offset the loss of interest income on their traditional lending activities 3.The BA facility is “carved out” of the borrower’s line of credit – thus risk to the bank is identical to lending under an operating line of credit 4.Bank guarantees payment of the Note at maturity – provides confidence to the market

Slide 8–23 Eurodollars US dollar denominated deposits held in banks outside of the US London interbank bid rate (LIBID) –The rate paid by banks buying funds London interbank offer rate (LIBOR) –The rate offered for sale of the funds Time deposits with fixed maturities –Largest short term security in the world TED spread –Spread between US T Bill futures and Eurodollar futures of the same maturity –Is a barometer of confidence in the international banking system. The spread will narrow when confidence is high and become larger when perceived bank sector risk rises
