Investment Management And Corporate Finance

Lack Of Integrity, Insincerity And Dishonesty Of The Financial Institutions In Malaysia.

Investment management refers to the handling of financial assets and other investments—not only buying and selling them. Management includes devising a short- or long-term strategy for acquiring and disposing of portfolio holdings. It can also include banking, budgeting, and tax services and duties, as well.

Corporate finance is a subfield of finance that deals with how corporations address funding sources, capital structuring, accounting, and investment decisions. Corporate finance is often concerned with maximizing shareholder value through long- and short-term financial planning and the implementation of various strategies. Corporate finance activities range from capital investment to tax considerations.

Corporate governance is the system of rules, practices, and processes by which a company is directed and controlled. Good corporate governance can benefit investors and other stakeholders, while bad governance can lead to scandal and ruin.

Malaysia Capital Market

Fundamental of Economics

What Is the Stock Market and How Does It Work?

The stock market is not a place you can visit but refers to the trading (some physical, most online) of shares representing the partial owning of companies. It's not only where businesses raise capital but is used as a sign of the economy's health. The price of stocks changes based on supply and demand, the company’s performance, economic conditions, and other factors that might not seem rational—like investor “sentiment”—but all of which must be considered if you’re buying or selling shares. People purchase stocks for a lot of reasons. Some hold onto stocks, looking for income from dividends. Others might think a stock will rise, so they snap it up, trying to buy low and sell high. Still, others might be interested in having a say in how particular companies are run. That’s because you can vote at shareholder meetings based on the number of shares you own. Both “stock market” and “stock exchange” are often used interchangeably, but they’re not the same. Traders in the stock market buy or sell shares on one or more stock exchanges, which are only part of the overall stock market. The major U.S. stock exchanges include the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq...Read more.

Stock Market

Overview of the Malaysian
Stock Market

Generally speaking, the stock market will reflect the economic conditions of an economy. If an economy is growing then output will be increasing and most firms should be experiencing increased profitability. This higher profit makes the company shares more attractive – because they can give bigger dividends to shareholders. A long period of economic growth will tend to benefit shares. By contrast, if the stock market predicts a recession, then share prices will generally fall – in anticipation of lower profits...
