Financial Management Strategies of HSBC
Introduction
Financial management is a specialized functional field, dealing with the management of
finance right from estimation and procurement till its effective utilization in the business.
Financial Management is the process of managing the financial resources, including
accounting and financial reporting, budgeting, collecting accounts receivable, risk
management, and insurance for a business.
Importance of Financial Management
Financial management entails planning for the future of a person or a business enterprise to
ensure a positive cash flow. It includes the administration and maintenance of financial
assets. Besides, financial management covers the process of identifying and managing risks.
The primary concern of financial management is the assessment rather than the techniques of
financial quantification. A financial manager looks at the available data to judge theperformance of enterprises. Managerial finance is an interdisciplinary approach that borrows
from both managerial accounting and corporate finance. Some experts refer to financial
management as the science of money management.
The primary usage of this term is in the world of financing business activities. However,
financial management is important at all levels of human existence because every entity
needs to look after its finances
It is an area looked after by the finance manager who deals with the following issues:
i) Which new proposals for employing capital should be accepted by the firm?
ii) How much working capital will be needed to support the firm's operations?
iii) Where should the firm go to raise long term capital and how much will it cost?iv) Should the firm declare dividend on its equity capital and if so, how large a
dividend should be declared?
v) What steps can be taken to increase the value of firm's equity capital?
The above issues are solved by taking three major decisions (1) Investment decision (2)
Financing decision (3) Dividend decision. As objective of the Financial Management is to
maximize the value (i.e. wealth of shareholders) of the firm should strive for an optimal
combination of the there interrelated decisions solved jointly .
Decisions taken by financial managers
The basic message behind the statement Financial Management is concerned with the
solutions of the three major decisions a firm must make the investment decision, the
financing decision and the dividend decision " is self evident.
1) Investment Decisions :These involve the allocation of resources among various types of assets. What portion of
the firm's fund should be invested in various current assets such as cash, marketable

securities and recei able and what portion in fi ed assets, such as inventories and plant and
equipment The assets mi affects the amount ofincome the firm can earn. For example, a
manufactureris in business to earn income with fixed assets such as machinery and not
with current assets. However, placing too high a percentage ofits assets in new building or
new machinery may leave the firm short of cash to meet an unexpected need or exploit
sudden opportunity.
2) Fi a i g i iItis the next step in financial management for executing the investment decisions once
taken a look atthe balance sheet of a company indicates thatit obtains finance from
shareholders ordinary, preference, debenture holders, orlong - term loans from the
institutions, bank and other sources. There are variations in the provisions contained in
preference shares, debentures, loans papers etc. Thus financing decisions i.e. the financing
mix of capital structure. Efforts are made to obtain an optimal financing mix for a
particular company.
3) Di id d Deci iThe third major decision of financial managementis the decision relating to the
dividend policy. Two alternatives are available in dealing with the profits of a firm;
they can be retained in the business. One significant factoris thatthe dividends pay
out ratio i.e. what proportion of net profits should be paid outto the shareholders. The
decision will depend upon the preference ofthe shareholders and investment
opportunities available within the firm. The second major aspect ofthe dividend
decision is the factors determining dividend policy of a firm in practice Allthe above
decision of finance are inter - related with one another.

Long term investment decision (future profitability of firm).
Returns or benefits are expected over number of years
Investment involves huge amount of cash outflow (determines the destiny of the
firm)
Investment decision is generally irreversible (once made can not be changed)
Relatively high degree of risk
Relatively long time period between the initial outlay and the anticipated return
Techniques of C it l Bu etin
The techniques of capital budgeting are divided into two broad groups
1) Non discounted cash flow techniques i.e. techniques that do not consider time value of
money as such do not discount the future cash flows.
Non-DCF techniques include the following:
i) Payback Period Method
ii) Average Accounting Return or Accounting Rate of Return
2)Discount cash flow (DCF) techniques i.e. techniques that do not consider time value of
money as such do not discount the future cash flows
DCF techniques include the following:
i) Net Present Value (NPV)
ii) Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
iii) Profitability Index (PI) or Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR)
iv) Discounted Payback Period Method
The P yb ck Perio Metho
One of the most popular alternatives to NPV is payback. Payback answers the question How
long does it take the project to pay back its initial investment? The payback period rule for
making investment decisions is simple. A particular cut-off date, say two years, selected.
-
8/7/2019 financial management strategy final
5/23
Financial Management Strategies of HSBC
Payback Period = number of years to recover initial costs.
The Discounte P yb ck Perio Metho :
Aware of the pitfalls of payback, some decision makers use a variant called the discountedpayback period method. Under this approach, we find discount the cash flows. Then we ask
how long it takes for the discounted cash flows to equal the initial investment.
Although discounted payback looks a bit like NPV, it is just a poor compromise between the
payback method and NPV.
The Aver e Accountin Return Metho :
Another attractive, but fatally flawed, approach to financial decision-making is the average
accounting return. The average accounting return is the average project earnings after taxes
and depreciation, divided by the average book value of the investment during its life.
To compute the average accounting return (ARR) on the project, we divide the average net
income by the average amount invested. This can be done in three steps.
1) Determining Average Net Income
2) Determining Average Investment
3) Determining AAR
So, AAR =
If the firm had a targeted accounting rate of return greater than AAR, the project would be
rejected, and if its targeted return were less than AAR, it would be accepted.
NPV
NPV returns the net value of the cash flows represented in today's dollars. Because of the
time value of money, receiving a dollar today is worth more than receiving a dollar
tomorrow. NPV calculates that present value for each of the series of cash flows and adds
them together to get the net present value.
Net Present Value (NPV) = Total PV of future CIs - Initial Investment
PV ofCash Inflows PV ofCash Outflows
Minimum Acceptance Criteria: Accept if NPV > 0
We would choose the highest NPV

Fi i t tr t i s
IRR
IRRis the discount rate that sets NPV to zero orthe rate of return available from investing in
a project.
We can use the following equation to solve IRR
NPV=
= 0
We would acceptifthe IRRexceeds the required return and select alternative with the
highestIRR.
When all negative cash flows occur earlierin the sequence than all positive cash flows, or
when a project s sequence of cash flows contains only one negative cash flow, IRRreturns a
unique value. Most capitalinvestment projects begin with a large negative cash flow (the up-
frontinvestment followed by a sequence of positive cash flows, and, therefore, have a
unique IRR. However, sometimes there can be more than one acceptable IRR, or sometimes
none at all.
Profita ility Index
The profitability index is defined as:
The rule says to accept projects that have:
Among mutually exclusive projects, acceptthe project with the highestindex which is greater
than one. There are no problems in using this rule forindependent projects.

which is just another way to express net present value:
Riskand Return
Expected Rate of Return:
The expected rate of return for any assetis the weighted average rate of each return using
probability of each rate or actual rate under each circumstance as the weight. Thatis the rate
of return expected to be realized from an investment. We denote expected rate of return as0
If an investmentis made in the security of any individual firm ( firm A) then return of single
asset:

Where,
Ki actual return ofindividual asset under each event.
Pi probability of happening actual event.
Expected Return on Portfolio:
If any investorinvests in more than one securities then itis called portfolio investment. The
expected return from that portfolio is called expected return on portfolio. The objective to
have portfolio investmentis to diversify risk and minimize risk.

Where,
W= weight ofindividual assetin totalinvestment
Risk:
-
8/7/2019 financial management strategy final
8/23
Financial Management Strategies of HSBC
Its a hazard or exposure to loss or injury. So, it refers to the chance that some unfavorable
event will occur.
Investment Risk:
Uncertainty to the variability of return associated with a given asset i.e. the probability of
actual return less than the expected return. The higher the chance of negative return, the
riskier is the investment.
In an uncertain world, investors cannot exactly or precisely tell what rate of return an
investment will yield. They can quantify the rate of return by imposing probability
distribution of the possible rate of return.
Investment risk is also analyzed by attaching probability to each possible rate of return. So
the wider the probability distribution of return, the riskier is the investment. Risk of an
particular investment is denoted as W. So the formula is-
W 0
Portfolio Risk:
Portfolio risk occurs for portfolio investments. The formula for portfolio risk (two assets) is-
Where,
W= weight of each asset in portfolio
R1,2 = coefficient of sorrelations between asset 1 & 2.
Risk-Return Rel tionshi :
An investments risk is measured by the variability if its possible return. Greater variability in
returns indicates greater risk. Investors are by nature risk averse. So they require higher
returns to take on greater risks. That is return is a factor of risk [ return=].To show the relationship between risk-return this formula will be helpful
0
By nature risks are classified by unsystematic risk and systematic risk.

Financial Management Strategies of HSBC
Bet coefficient (me surin system tic risk):
Because systematic risk is the crucial determinant of an assets expected return, some way of
measuring the level of systematic risk for different investments is needed. The specific
measure that is used for this purpose is called beta coefficient. A beta coefficient tells how
much systematic risk a particular asset has relative to an average asset. An average asset has a
beta of 1.0 relative to itself.
C it l Asset Pricin Mo el (CAPM):
A model used to determine the required return on an asset, which is based on the proposition
that any assets return should be equal the risk free rate and risk premium. The formula is
0
Here,
0= expected rate of return on a specific investment (j)

1. The time value of money: As measured by the risk free rate2. The reward for bearing systematic risk: As measured by the market risk premium3. The amount of systematic risk: As measured by the
C sh flow st tement
Cash flow is one of the most important pieces of financial information that can be gleaned
from financial statements. By cash flow we simply mean he difference between the number
of taka that came in and the number of taka that went out.
C sh flow i entity
The cash flow identity says that the cash flow from the firms assets is equal to the cash flow
paid to the suppliers of capital ( creditors & shareholders ) to the firm.
C sh flow from ssets = c sh flow to cre itors + c sh flow to stockhol ers

Cash flow to creditorsis interest paid less net new borrowing; cash flow to stockholders is
dividends paid less net new equity raised.
Cash flow to stockholders
Cash flow to stockholders is dividends paid out y a firm less net new equity raised. To get
new equity raised, we need to look atthe common stock and paid-in surplus account. Thisaccounttells us how much stockthe company has sold.

Capitalstructure
In finance, capital structure refers to the way a corporation finances its assets through some
combination of equity, debt, or hybrid securities. A firm's capital structure is then the
composition or 'structure' ofits liabilities.
Debt comes in the form of bond issues orlong-term notes payable, while equity is classified
as common stock, preferred stock or retained earnings. Short-term debt such as working
capital requirements is also considered to be part ofthe capital structure.
There are three types of agency costs which can help explain the relevance of capital
structure.
Target Capital StructureThe target (optimal) capital structure is simply defined as the mix of debt, preferred stock and
common equity that will optimize the company's stock price. As a company raises newcapitalit will focus on maintaining this target (optimal) capital structure.
Itis importantto note is that while the target structure is the capital structure that will
optimize the company's stock price, itis also the capital structure that minimizes the
company's weighted-average cost of capital (WACC).

Business risk:the risk associated with projections of a firms future returns on assets(ROA)
or reurns on equity(ROE) ifthe firm uses no debt.
Business risk varies from one industry to another and also among firms in a given industry.
Further business risk can change overtime. Business risk depends on a number of factors, the
more important of which include the followings-
y Sales variability(volume and price)y Input price variabilityy Ability to adjust output prices for changes in input pricesy The extentto which costs are fixed: operating leverage
Operatingleverage:if a high percentage of a firms operating costs are fixed and hence do
not decline when demand falls off, this increases the companys business risk. This factoris
called operating leverage.
Financial risk: the portion of stock-holders risk, over and above basic business risk, that
results from the mannerin which the firm is financed.
Financialleverage:the extentto which fixed income securities such as debt, preferred stocks
are used in a firms capital structure.
Degree ofleverage
Leverage is created when a firm has a fixed costs associated either with its sales and
production operations or with the types of financing it uses. These two types ofleverage,
called operating leverage and financialleverage are interrelated.
Degree ofOperating Leverage - DOL
A type ofleverage ratio summarizing the effect a particular amount of operating leverage hason a company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Operating leverage involves using
a large proportion of fixed costs to variable costs in the operations ofthe firm. The formula isas follows:

both debt and equity capital, this overall cost of capital will be a mixture of the returns
needed to compensate its creditors and those needed to compensate its stockholders.
The cost of equity: The return that equity investors require on their investment in the firm.
There is two approach to determining the cost of equity: The dividend growth model
approach and security market line (SML) approach.
The ivi en rowth mo el ro ch: The easiest way to estimate the cost of equity
capital is to use the dividend growth model. It can be written as:
Po=
=
Where Do is the dividend just paid and D1 is the next periods projected dividend.And RE (E
stands for equity) for the required return on the stock.
Now we can rearrange this to solve for RE as follows: RE
Because, RE is the return that the shareholders require on the stock, it can be interpreted as
the firms cost of equity capital.
The costs of ebt: The cost of debt is the return that the firms creditors demand on new
borrowing. The cost of debt is simply the interest rate the firm must pay on new borrowing
and we can observe interest rates in the financial markets.
In perpetual debt,
Here, C=coupon rate, Bo= Current bond price, f=Floatation cost per bond, tc= Corporate tax.
The cost of referre stock: Determining the cost of preferred stock is quite
straightforward. Preferred stock has a fixed dividend paid every period forever. So, a share of
preferred stock is essentially a perpetuity. The cost of preferred stock RP, is thus:
Where D is the fixed dividend and Po is the current price per share of the preferred stock.
Notice that the cost of preferred stock is simply equal to the dividend yield on the preferred
stock.
The wei hte ver e cost of c it l:
We will use the symbol E (equity) to stand for the market value of the firms equity. We
calculate this by taking the number of shares outstanding and multiplying it by the price per

share. Similarly we will use the symbol D (debt) to stand for the market value of the firms
debt. For long term debt, we calculate this by multiplying the market price of a single bond
by the number of bonds outstanding. If there are multiple bonds issues this calculation of D
for each and then add up the results. For short term debt, the book values and market values
should be somewhat similar. Finally we will use the symbol V (for value) to stand for the
combined market value of the debt and equity:
If we divide both sides by V, we can calculate the percentages of the total capital represented
by the debt and equity:
These percentages can be interpreted just like portfolio weights and they are often called the
capital structure weights.
Taxes and weighted average cost of capital: Business firms are always concerned with aftertax cash flows. If we are determining the discount rate appropriate to those cash flows, then
the discount rate also needs to be expressed on an after-tax basis. The interest paid by a
corporation is deductible for tax purpose. Payments to stockholders such as dividends are not.
This means that the government pays some of the interest. Thus in determining an after tax
discount rate , we need to distinguish between the pretax and after tax cost of debt. To
calculate the firms overall cost of capital ,we multiply the capital structure weights by the
associated costs and add up them up. The total is the weighted average cost of capital
(WACC).
This WACC has a very straightforward interpretation. It is the overall return the firm must
earn on its existing assets to maintain the value of its stock. It is also the required return on
any investments by the firm that have essentially the same risk as existing operations.

NPV is widely used for project evaluation. However, in the top team meeting, a positive NPV is not
the only indicator to accept a project, so IRR is also need to be considered. So that the management
and investors will get idea that how much the return would be. But MIRR should also be considered
as it gives more clearer idea. So it basically varies from project to project & meeting to meeting. It
uses both the techniques. It basically prepares all sorts of information so that top management can
take decision easily.
