 | | The movements of the prices in a market or section of a market are captured in price indices called Stock Market Indices, of which there are many, e.g., the Standard and Poors Indices and the Financial Times Indices. | | | In 1964 it was amended to apply also to companies traded in the over-the-counter market. | | | These days markets have generally become "institutionalized"; that is, buyers and sellers are largely institutions whether pension funds, insurance companies, mutual funds or banks. |

| | Using Equity Market Information to Monitor Banking Institutions - FRBSF Economic Letter (01/24/2003) |
| | A potential obstacle to using equity market data is the opaqueness of BHC assets; that is, loans, credit lines, and other BHC financial assets may be especially hard for investors to value. | | | Equity market data are available sooner than supervisory data from quarterly financial statements, which could assist a monitoring model in detecting sudden changes in BHC conditions sooner. | | | If equity market assessments are to be useful to BHC supervisors, they must, at a minimum, agree with supervisory assessments a reasonably large fraction of the time. |

| | Budd said equity market dividend yields have been outdone by the yield on 10-year government bonds since the late 1950s but the two asset classes are now seeing their yields converge. | | | For decades, global markets have shared the common characteristic of having bond markets with yields that outstrip equivalent equity dividends. | | | His research shows that if the market remains unchanged and dividends sustain their current 10% per annum growth trend, then equity yields will be at 3.29% with bond yields remaining on 2.99%. |

| | Dirty Deeds: Abuses and Fraudulent Practices in California's Home Equity Market |
| | It appears the lenders or brokers are more interested in the borrower's equity than the ability to repay the loan because the lender can recoup the investment at a handsome profit or take the equity from the unsuspecting homeowner once the borrower falls behind on the payments. | | | Prohibit balloon payments on home equity loans unless the borrower has the option to fully amortize the balloon payment on reasonable terms at the end of the initial loan term. | | | Large mortgage companies and mainstream financial institutions also can contribute to the solution by offering quality home equity loan products in neighborhoods targeted by abusive lenders and by carefully scrutinizing the fairness of the loans they purchase to ensure that they are not providing funding for hard money loans. |

| | Private equity firms raised $43.9 billion for new investments in 2003, falling 26% from the $59.4 billion raised in 2002. | | | The Blackstone Group was among the most proficient with its equity investing in 2003, taking part in the year's two largest transactions: the $4.73 billion acquisition of the TRW Auto Division and $4.35 billion purchase of Ondeo Nalco. | | | Although significant differences exist between the private equity markets in Europe and the U.S., the level of competition for deals and the lack of opportunities in the U.S. have led private equity firms to look more closely at the European market. |

| | The increasing adoption of private equity as a means for financing the growth of smaller and medium-sized private companies means that the substantial increase in the size and influence of private equity funds will not necessarily compromise future returns. | | | However, private equity fund managers, because of their influence on companies, have the chance of growing profits and building value even in conditions of deceleration or stagnation. | | | This is why, over the medium to long term, private equity outperforms the stock markets and is a major incentive for the asset class. |

Still, if the law passed in the general election, the potential home equity loan market in Texas could be as large as $10 billion in the first 24 months of the program. |

| | Elderly homeowners, in particular, are frequent targets of some subprime home equity lenders, because they often have substantial equity in their homes, yet have fixed or declining incomes. | | | The secondary market's expansion has, in turn, helped to sustain growth in the industry by enabling lenders to raise funds on the open market to expand their subprime lending activities. | | | There are often other ways, however, to establish a practice of a lender, such as through the lender's marketing materials or other documents or testimony from the lender's employees and borrowers. |

| | The private equity market has become an important source of funds for start-up firms, private middle-market firms, firms in financial distress, and public firms seeking buyout financing. | | | Until the late 1970s, private equity investments were undertaken mainly by wealthy families, industrial corporations, and financial institutions that invested directly in issuing firms. | | | One is that the growth of private equity is a classic example of the way organizational innovation, aided by regulatory and tax changes, can ignite activity in a particular market. |

| | The hearings are being conducted under the authority of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 (HOEPA), which imposes disclosure requirements and other limits on certain high-cost, home-secured loans. | | | HOEPA was enacted in response to reports of abusive lending practices by unscrupulous lenders making unaffordable home-secured loans to "house-rich but cash-poor borrowers." These cases frequently involved elderly and sometimes unsophisticated homeowners who were targeted for loans with high rates and fees and repayment terms that were difficult or impossible to meet. | | | The Federal Reserve Board today invited consumers, consumer advocacy organizations, lenders and other interested parties to participate in three public hearings on predatory practices in the home-equity lending market. |
