| | Financial intermediary - definition of Financial intermediary in Encyclopedia |
 | | Financial intermediaries are institutions (such as banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, pension funds, and finance companies.) that borrow funds from people who have saved and then make loans to others. |  | | Commercial banks are the financial intermediary we meet most often in macroeconomics, but mutual funds, pension funds, credit unions, savings and loan associations, and to some extent insurance companies are also important financial intermediaries. |  | | Another reason financial intermediaries reduce risk is that by making many loans, they learn how to better predict which of the people who want to borrow money will be able to repay. |

| | Financial markets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Intermediaries such as banks help in this process. |  | | In the financial markets, stock prices, bond prices, currency rates, interest rates and dividends go up and down, creating risk. |  | | More complex transactions than a simple bank deposit require markets where lenders and their agents can meet borrowers and their agents, and where existing borrowing or lending commitments can be sold on to other parties. |

| | Explain the possible adverse consequences to financial intermediaries from a change in the interest rate. |
 | | A financial intermediary issues £500million of liabilities with one-year maturity to finance the purchase of £500million of assets with two years maturity, and is therefore short-funded. |  | | Financial intermediaries also face interest rate risk if the balance sheet is structured the other way around, with liabilities held long and assets held short. |  | | The intermediary will be long-funded; the maturity of its liabilities exceeds the maturity of its assets. |

 | | The financial assets issued to savers are claims against the financial intermediaries, hence liabilities of the financial intermediaries, whereas the financial assets received from borrowers are claims against the borrowers, hence assets of the financial intermediaries. |  | | Intermediaries are able to reduce the transactions costs entailed during the process of matching borrowers with lenders. |  | | Intermediaries are also able to reduce the transactions costs associated with the writing and communicating of contract terms for borrowers and lenders, particularly in cases where the contract terms are highly specialized to the situation at hand. |

 | | The term financial intermediary may refer to an institution, firm or individual who performs intermediation between two parties in a financial context. |  | | In the US, a financial intermediary is typically an institution that facilitates the channelling of funds between lenders and borrowers. |  | | Alternatively, they may lend the money indirectly via the financial markets. |

 | | Since financial institutions tend to be more specialised on the liability side of their balance sheets, it would be appropriate to classify them according to the nature of the indirect securities they issue. |  | | The financial intermediaries, of course, receive a fee, represented by the difference between the cost of their indirect securities and the revenue from the primary securities held. |  | | It will be evident that the participants in the financial markets are the borrowers (issuers of securities), the lenders (buyers of securities), the financial intermediaries (buyers and issuers of securities and other debt obligations) and the brokers. |

 | | A balance sheet is simply a summary financial statement that lists what a firm owns (its assets) as well as what it owes (its liabilities). |  | | As financial intermediaries, commercial banks pooled the wealth of a large number of savers and lent fractions of that pool to a diverse group of enterprising business firms. |  | | By providing loans to entrepreneurs based on the merits of their businesses, and not their genealogies, banks and other financial intermediaries helped to spread the notion that wealth and power should be allocated to the most able members of post-Revolutionary society, not to the oldest or best groomed families. |

 | | Intermediaries that finance private firms probably provide more services than a system that simply funnels resources to the government or state-owned enterprises. |  | | Financial intermediaries--the ones that mobilize savings, allocate capital, manage risk, ease transactions, and monitor firms--are essential for economic growth and development. |  | | One measure of financial services--call it BANKS--is the credit issued by banks divided by the credit issued by banks plus the credit issued by the central bank. |

| | 2332. Financial Intermediary Distress in the Republic of Korea: Small Is Beautiful? |
 | | During a systemic financial crisis in Korea, the probability of financial distress was greater for large financial intermediaries (such as commercial banks and merchant banking corporations) than it was for tiny mutual savings and finance companies. |  | | They pool together a group of large financial intermediaries (commercial banks, merchant banking corporations) and another group of tiny mutual savings and finance companies. |  | | Estimating a logit model, they find that the probability of distress was systematically smaller for the mutual savings and finance companies that stayed closer to their origins (for example, collecting many deposits as “credit mutual installment savings”) and for those with a longer history of doing business in their local community. |
