exchanging debt value into obligations

While the conversion option is bidding for the bonds by exchanging debt value into obligations into shares. With this option, investors who had become the lender, after the due date will be shifted to the owners of capital in the companies that issued convertible bonds.

According Yunianto Handy, an analyst with PT Mandiri Securities bonds, each of the above classification has a level of risk varies. Therefore, trading characteristics of each type of bond was to be different too.

“The price of bonds that are formed in the secondary market will follow the level of risk and expectations YTM respectively. For, as the closer when due, then the rate of return and risk of each bond product will vary. This is affecting price, “he said at the Independent Club last week.

In bonds in the secondary market transactions, price calculation used is totally different from the calculations in stock trading. Prices used were measured in percentages, not the rupiah denomination.

At the time bonds are issued, then the bond price will be at a level of 100% or commonly known as Par prices. YTM rate when issued was equivalent to the coupon interest rate offered.

As an illustration, a company issuing bonds worth Rp 1 billion 5-year term with a coupon rate of 7.5% per annum and is payable every 6 months.

At the time of publication, the price of these bonds are priced with a YTM of 7.5% Par. That means, if the bond holders decide not to sell these bonds to maturity, the bondholders will receive the funds by 100% (USD 1 billion) at maturity plus accrued interest at 7.5% per year multiplied by 5 (USD 375 million) or a total of Rp 1.375 billion.

However, if an investor buys bonds in the secondary market in the second year, it means the rate of return that would be obtained were different. Because, he did not get the coupon payment before he bought the bonds.

Consequently, the purchase price of bonds in the secondary market was not likely he bought at a price of Par.

In simple terms it can be said that bond prices in the second year will be below the price of Par, call it 98%. Therefore, investors will pursue the difference in the level of return that is obtained by placing a buy position at a price below the price of Par.

Know the Ins and Outs of Investment Bonds

But what happens in the market is not as simple as that. According to Handy, in addition to these factors, there are other factors that make investors provide different offerings in the secondary market.

“Determinants of bond prices is the biggest factor is interest rates,” he explained.

Continuing the illustration above, if when he bought bonds earlier in the second year, where interest rates have decreased to as low as 6%, then the movement of bond prices in the secondary market will depend largely on expectations of interest rate trends.

Illustration like this, if investors are speculating the future trend of interest rates will go down, call it to the level of 5%, then he will put up bidding to buy at prices above the price of Par.

“In this way, he will have a YTM of getting bigger in the future in line with the downward trend in interest rates,” said Handy.

Conversely, if investors are projecting the future interest rates will go up, call it to the level of 8%, then the consequences will be receiving the projected yield will decrease.

“Therefore, to still get a big yield, he would put the price bid under Par,” said Handy.

Handy explained that the simple formula as follows:

If SBI is projected to decline, YTM will decrease, then prices will tend to rise.
If BI is projected to rise, YTM will go up, then prices will tend to fall.

Therefore, further Handy, to play bonds in the secondary market, investors should pay attention to the calculation of projected trends in interest rates. Therefore, the trend in interest rates greatly affect the movement of bond prices in the secondary market.

“Factors to be considered is the trend of inflation in the future. Therefore, the trend of inflation go hand in hand with the trend of interest rates (SBI). If inflation rises, the SBI will go up also, conversely, if inflation goes down, then SBI will come down anyway,” he said .

Well, talk about the macro economic conditions in the future Indonesia, said the latest projections into the second half of 2010 will be a global economic recovery. This recovery will certainly include Indonesia in it.

“Economic recovery is usually accompanied by rising inflation which of course will cause an increase in interest rates higher,” said Handy.

By simple logic, it can be assumed, in the future will happen, which means higher interest rates would make bonds YTM products has increased as well.

Then the consequences will be a decline in bond prices in the secondary market ahead of the second half of 2010.

“The decline in prices and the adjustment as it already started to happen from now. Investors seem to have anticipated the projected rise in interest rates early on. For investors who speculate in interest rates will rise right in the second semester, it would be better to buy now because prices are still high, thus received YTM will be greater,

Leave Deposits, Time for You to Switch Stock Exchange

Investing for the community should become a lifestyle trend. No longer limited to just think ‘saving’ and put the funds on deposit that supposedly most secure investment instrument. Begin turning to the stock. Why?

Simple indicator is the increase in the Composite Stock Price Index (CSPI), which reached 46.13% to a level of 3703.512 during 2010, and is predicted to continue in this year.

According to research results of PT Bahana TCW Investment Management, the strategy of investing in 2011 is to minimize the allocation of liquidity, either cash or deposits. The problem of excess liquidity to keep interest rates remain low, so the acquisition can not cover inflation.

Let’s look at interest rate movements on the type of investment deposits. Since 2005, the government cut fuel subsidies and the allocation of the global crisis that terrible incident in 2008, causing deposit rates continued to decline. Until the acquisition of interest on the bonds can not fight inflation, mainly of food commodities and education.

Indeed during the 1998 crisis, the government became fully ensure public funds are deposited in the deposit. So forget the notion that the deposits as a profitable and safe investment.

Trimming the fuel subsidy is causing inflation and cause interest rates rise. But it turns out the positive impact, especially foreign investor confidence, actually increased.

Furthermore, not only foreigners who buy government bonds, but also domestic banks. Proceeds from sale of state bonds has raised additional funds of banking, even exceeding the purposes for which credit has actually been increasing.

As a result, excess funds are collected in Bank Indonesia Certificates (SBI), and ultimately be borne by the central bank.

Bank Indonesia (BI) instrument makes interest rates as inflation control through the absorption of liquidity. If the rupiah liquidity is absorbed, there can be reinforcement that reduces the risk of inflation. During the height of bank money in SBI, the bank is relatively not so needy of public funds as reflected in relatively low deposit rates.

An alternative solution is to stock investing. Shares of commodity sector remains one of the main drivers of investment in the stock market. But the expectation of rising stocks will not last year.

“We think the expectations are the benefits to follow the historical average of 20%, according to the long term nominal GDP growth of Indonesia,” explained Director of Research and Investor Relations Investments on the type of bonds or corporate bonds also worth ogled. Investors can choose a corporate bond with a good credit rating, rather than government bonds. Treasury bond yield mapping for the tenor of 10 years, in late 2010 at 7.6% level. This figure is lower than the average 10-year inflation of 8.3%.

“Indeed, inflation in 2011 could be less than 8.3%, so the yield on Treasury bonds are very attractive. But investors should be alert to secure itself when inflation soared,” he said.

Other investment alternatives can be done in non-listed companies through private equity fund. Especially when the price of stocks and bonds are considered expensive, while the low-interest bonds awake.

The advantage to invest in private equity funds is the dividend. In addition, there is potential for greater profit when released into the market the company’s business capital as a public company.

Tips ‘Equip’ Son Credit Card

Equipping children with a credit card there is no harm, even from one side to give a positive thing because it can train the child to manage finances. But there are some things which should be noted that parents will equip her credit card.

Of course everyone has different views about the provision of credit card supplementation in children aged adolescents.

“Giving credit cards to the training of children is a responsibility of trust and remarkable, both for parents and for children themselves,” said Maria Sukrisman, Vice President, Card & Strategic Marcom Head, Citibank NA Indonesia, Friday (21/05/2010).

He explained that credit card issuers in Indonesia in general allow supplementation for children who already had identification such as ID cards, namely the age of 17 years.

The majority of parents agree that children should learn independently. Early on they were taught to save and create a budget and, if necessary, be able to earn their own income. One way that can be taken in teaching children how to manage finances is to provide a credit card.

Enormous advantages of credit cards is to avoid the risk of carrying too much cash.

“Through the credit card, you also can control spending and your child’s ability to manage credit. You can see the transactions that they do through monthly bills, so you also can see the habits of children and thereby know what problems may arise in the future , “explains Maria.

Based on this information, he added, parents can discuss with children about ways in the proper use of credit cards, before they have it themselves later on when to have their own income.

Here are some tips from Citibank for parents who give credit cards to the child:

Teach children to use credit cards wisely

You should teach and give examples of the use of credit cards with either the child. If you do not have good habits, most likely your children will follow the habit. Reiterate that the credit card is a non-cash means of payment, rather than facilities for the debt.

Convey that the credit card is a Privilege

The first time you have a credit card, tell them that this card is a privilege that you give to him and therefore they should be fully responsible in using it. Tell also that you will constantly monitor the transactions made by the child.

Review and discuss the bill every month

When you receive a monthly credit card bill, sit down together and examine every expenditure made by your child. If you feel there are things that are unnecessary or inappropriate, straight talk and solve it with your son or daughter. Through the monthly bill, you can also teach children about the importance of interest and pay off their bills on time.

Have a clear payment plan

One important thing is to be discussed with the child how he would pay these bills. If they do not work, then you can impose a cut of the money monthly. Teach that they can only do the expenditure of the amount of money they have. If not, then they will not have the ability to manage credit cards well. If the kids buy something at great expense, you can just charge interest when he returned the money to you.

Specify the limit that can be used child

Parents should make a deal with a child on the limited use of credit cards. With this limit, both parties must be consistent in terms of this agreement has been made. Make sure you only give one credit card to the child.

If planning to send their children abroad, make a credit card as a payment facility that allows

Credit cards are very commonly used in foreign countries, so as to pay tuition, buy books, rent dormitory space and other needs can be made by credit card.

For children, she will feel secure that the parents in the country will meet the cost of education needed. As for parents, although far in the eyes of children, credit card bills can be a role model activity and spending habits of their children.

So, when is the right time for parents to give credit card facilities to their children?
“There is no absolute age limit in this case. Parents should be able to view and understanding of the needs of adolescents for a credit card. If the child is in need and understand the credit card function properly, then you can provide these facilities,” explains Maria.
