From Pharaoh to Modern

Finance
Risk management is not modern
invention

The Story of the Egyptian


Pharaoh
In the Middle Ages, hedging was
made easier by the creation of
future markets
Large publicly held companies
have emerged as the principal
users of risk management
instruments

Most new financial products are designed


to enable corporations to hedge more
effectively
It is not clear, why a corporation would
want to hedge?
The Modern Corporation and Private
Property book : the modern corporate
from organization was developed precisely
to enable entrepreneurs to disperse risk
among many small investors IF TRUE,
its hard to see why corporations
themselves also need to reduce risk
investors can manage risk on their own

Until
1970s,
finance
specialists
accepted this logic
Franco Modigliani & Miller Theorem
:
1.

The value is created on the left hand side of


the balance sheet when companies make good
investments (plant and equipment, R&D, or
market share) that ultimate increase operating
cash flows.

These decisions about financial policy


can affect only how the value created
by a companys real investments,
not for capital market
