The Purpose of the Share Market

• Primary Market– Raises capital for a company:

• Issue a prospectus via an underwriting broker.• Investors subscribe for shares• A company may want to raise 5 million – so they

float 20 million shares @ 25cents each.

• Investors can remain as shareholders of the company or sell the shares on the Secondary Market.

Page 4: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• Secondary Market:• Is where issued shares can be traded via

a stockbroker.• It operates like an auction using the ASX’s

computer trading system called SEATS (Stock Exchange Automated Trading System).

• When a sell bid matches a buy bid a trade is executed. The value of the share is influenced by demand, overseas economics, interest rates, company news….

Page 5: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Stockbroker

• Any transaction at the stock exchange needs to be carried out by a broker.

• They are members of the ASX and need to meet certain criteria to become a broker.

• They buy and sell shares for their clients and charge a fee.

• They can also :• Give advice• Act as an underwriter for new share issues

Page 6: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Listed Companies

• Not any public company can be listed on the exchange.

• They need to be of sufficient size.• They need to meet a number of regulations :

• Have at least 500 share holders• Have Capital of $1 million dollars• Release half yearly financial reports• Be run by a board of directors who decide on business

strategy and such things as dividends etc.

Page 7: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• Advantages of a public company listing– Funds are raised relatively easily– Investors are attracted to a well performing company– Key staff can be retained by offering share incentives

• Disadvantages of public company listing– Existing ownership is diluted– Directors are accountable to shareholders– ASX requires important information to be disclosed to

the market.– Increased costs – listing fees, broker fees ..

Page 8: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Trading on the Sharemarket

• Can bring good returns – Capital Gain• Can bring regular income – Dividends• A balanced portfolio can bring a regular

income as well as a steady capital gain• Diversified investments can help offset any

major losses• Long term investment is generally better

than short term

Types of Shares

Page 19: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Ordinary Shares

• Ordinary shares are the most common types of shares.

• When a company is floated – the majority of the share capital is made up of ordinary shares.– They are cheap (50c each)– Deliver dividends– Potential for capital gain– Dividends are paid after preference shares are paid

out.– Have voting rights.

• Most investors opt for a portfolio that has a majority of ordinary shares.

Page 20: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Preference Shares

• Preference shares are not as common as ordinary shares.

• When a company is floated there is normally a percentage of the shares that are preference shares.– They are more expensive than ordinary shares.– Deliver dividends at a fixed rate.– Potential for capital gain.– Dividends are paid before ordinary shares. – Have limited voting rights.

• Some investors will have some preference shares to ensure a regular predictable dividend payment.

Page 21: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Rights Issues

• If a company wishes to raise more capital once a float has taken place the only option they have is to release a rights issue.

• This is where shares are offered at a discount to existing shareholders.

• BONUS ISSUES are similar to rights issues but they are free.

• .

Page 22: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Buying and Selling

Page 25: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Buying

• When you purchase shares you need to calculate how much it will cost you to buy the shares.

• You need to take into account the cost of the shares, brokerage and GST.

• Some brokers charge a fixed fee – internet transactions tend to do this.

• Most charge a % of the price of the shares.• Make sure you do all the steps.

Page 26: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Cost of Shares

Page 27: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Example

• Calculate how much it would cost to purchase 5500 AMP shares at $3.20 each. Brokerage is 2% and a GST of 10% is applied to brokerage.

Page 28: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Consideration : 5500 x 3.20 = 17600

Brokerage : 2% x 17600 = 352.00

GST : 10% x 352 = 35.20

Total : (17600 + 352 + 35.20)

$17987.20

Page 29: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Selling• When you sell shares the only difference from

buying is that you take away the fees charged.

Consideration – Brokerage - GST

Page 30: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Example

• Calculate how much you would receive if you sold 7500 AMP shares at $4.20 each. Brokerage is 2.5% and a GST of 10% is applied to brokerage.

Page 31: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Consideration : 7500 x 4.20 = 31500.00

Brokerage : 2.5% x 31500 = 787.50

GST : 10% x 787.50= 78.75

Total : (31500 – 787.50 – 78.75)

$30633.75

Page 32: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project
Page 33: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Breakeven Price

Page 34: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• When you buy and sell shares to make a profit it is wise to calculate the minimum price they have to rise to so that you cover your costs.

• This is not a calculation that allows you to make huge profits – but the price that you need to sell them at so as not to make a loss.

Page 35: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Procedure• Step 1 – First buy the shares.• Step 2 – Add on the fees involved in buying

again.• Step 3 – Divide this by the number of shares

purchased – this is the selling price needed to cover your costs (round up if needed).

• Step 4 - Sell the shares at this new price• Step 5 – Check to see if you breakeven (if not

just add 1c)

Page 36: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Consideration : 3400 x 8.77 = 29818

Brokerage : 2% x 29818 = 596.36

GST : 10% x 596.36 = 59.64

Total : (29848 + 596.36 + 59.64)

$30474.00

You buy 3400 KMB shares for $8.77 – calculate the breakeven price. (2% brokerage 10% GST)

Step 1 – First buy the shares.

So when we sell them we need to get at least $30474.00

Page 37: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Total = 30474.00Brokerage = 596.36GST = 59.64

31130.00

Step 2 – Add on the fees involved in buying again.

Page 38: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Total (from 2) 31130 / 3400 = 9.1559Number of shares

So the new price should be $9.16 – but we need to check by selling the shares at this price (if in doubt round up!)

Step 3 – Divide this by the number of shares purchased – this is the selling price needed to cover your costs (round up if needed).

Page 39: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Consideration : 3400 x 9.16 = 31144

Brokerage : 2% x 31144 = 622.88

GST : 10% x 622.88= 62.29

Total : (31144 – 622.88 – 62.29)

$30458.83

We bought them for 30474.00 and sold them for 30458.83 – so we have NOT covered our costs – if we add 1 cent to the selling price we raise another $34 - (3400 x 0.01 = $34) – and if we add that onto 30458.83 we break even with about $15.17 spare – so

our BEP will be $9.17

Step 4 - Sell the shares at this new price

Step 5 – Check to see if you breakeven (if not just add 1c)

Page 40: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Other Indicators

When to buy and sell

Page 42: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Yield• It is hard to compare the prices of shares to see if

your investment has been or is a good one. • You really need to take into account the cost of

purchasing the shares and the annual income.

Page 43: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• This type of question means that you need to calculate the cost of buying AND the income you will get in the form of a dividend.

• There s a shorter method – that does not take into account the fees that you pay when you buy shares. (less accurate)

Page 44: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Price Earnings Ratio

• This ratio is commonly used to ascertain a stock’s relative value, and therefore whether it is over priced.

Calculation of Price Earning Ratio• It is calculated daily by dividing the share price by the earnings per share, where

earnings per share is the net profit, earned by the company, divided by the number of ordinary shares on issue for the company.

The price earnings ratio shows the number of times the share price covers the earnings per share. Eg if a P/E ratio is 14 for BHP shares this indicates that it will take 14 years for the earnings to cover the share price. Assuming the price and returns remain constant.

Page 45: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

The P/E ratio is calculated daily and can be listed in share tables and is calculated by dividing the market value of the company by it’s earning per share.

The earnings per share are calculated by getting the previous year’s net profit for ordinary shareholders and dividing this by the number of ordinary shares. High P/E ratio may indicate that investors are expecting high growth in earnings in the future. You can really only compare companies from the same industry sector.

If the industry is stable then the P/E ratio may be low – like banks. But if there is speculation and a lot of movement then the P/E ratio may be high.

Page 46: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• Market conditions will have a strong influence on relative P.E ratios – it does give a snap shot regarding the economic growth of the company.

Page 47: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project
Page 48: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Company Charts

• Companies will produce charts that show you how the shares are performing.

• There are a variety of charts that can help give insight into what is going on allowing you to make better informed decisions regarding trading.

• As with all decisions, the broader the information you have the “better” the decision can be.

Page 49: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Candlestick Charts

These charts give you a lot more information than just a graph that uses the closing price. It shows the opening price, high, low and closing price.

The rectangle body shows the open and close price. If it is green it means that the shares closed higher, if red lower. If clear then it hasn’t moved. So this shows you a quick snapshot of the shares. The whiskers or wicks show the highest and lowest price they traded at.

Page 50: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Moving AverageThis is a widely used indicator that can assist in determining the direction of a trend. When used in conjunction with other indicators it can generate buy and sell signals to the investor. This indicator is used by many people in their final determination of whether to trade. They would only act if the moving average is trending in the direction of the signal or if the price is on the same side of the moving average as the signal is indicating.

The moving average has a smoothing effect and can be used to remove noise from the market, by reducing a basic open/high/low/close bar graph a simple line graph.

The simple moving average uses the close price to calculate its value over a given time. Depending on the nature of the trader different time frames will be used to determine the length of the moving average.

Page 51: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project
Page 52: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project
Page 53: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

In the example above, the blue line is the fastest and uses an 8 period moving average. A 21 period moving average was used to make the red line and finally a 55 period, in this case day, moving average was used to plot the green line. The green line is the best indicator to the longer term trend, which has turned from up to neutral. The shorter duration lines generated a sell signal back above 32500, when the blue line crossed below the red line. The signal was more or less confirmed when the short term line, the blue line, crossed below the green, long term line.

Profit Distribution

Division of Company Profits

Page 57: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• When a company makes a profit, the owners are entitled to a share of these. If you are a shareholder – then you are a part owner of the company – and so are entitled to get a portion of the profits.

• The profits are divided up – thus the name DIVIDEND.

• The Board of Directors decide on how much of the profit to keep for tax / expansion or paying off loans.

• The rest is released to the shareholders.

Ordinary Share Holders

Page 59: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• Firstly preference shares are paid out according to their fixed dividend rate. ($2, 5% preference shares)

• Any remaining profit will then go to the ordinary shareholders – by calculating the dividend per share.

• There are only a couple of ways in which these questions can be asked – so it is in your best interests to be able to do these confidently.

Page 60: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• A company has 200,000, $2, 5% preference shares and 1,000,000 50c ordinary shares. They make a profit of $4,300,000 and keep $800,000 for assets and 30% for tax. Calculate:

1. The amount that will go to all shareholders

2. How much all the preference shareholders will get

3. How much will go to the ordinary shareholders

4. The Div per share for the ordinary shareholders

5. The dividend you would get if you had 400 preference shares and 3000 ordinary shares

6. What is the paid up capital of the company?

Page 61: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• A company has 200,000, $2, 5% preference shares and 1,000,000 50c ordinary shares. They make a profit of $4,300,000 and keep $800,000 for assets and 30% for tax. Calculate:

1. The amount that will go to all shareholders

4,300,000 – (30% x 4,300,000) – 800,0004,300,000 – 1,290000 – 800,000 = $2,210,000

2. How much all the preference shareholders will get

200,000 x 2 x 5%200,000 x 2 x 0.05 = $20,000 to all preference share holders

Page 62: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

3. How much will go to the ordinary shareholders

4. The Div per share for the ordinary shareholders

$2,210,000 – 20,000 = $2,190,000 for all ordinary share holders

There are 1,000,000 ordinary shares so the $2,190,000 is divided betweenAll the shareholders.

2,190,000/1,000,000 = $2.19 per share (this is very high because I made it up!)

Page 63: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

4. The dividend you would get if you had 400 preference shares and 3000 ordinary shares

The preference shareholders get paid the same amount each year :

Preference Shares

Number of Shares x par value x dividend rate

400 x 2 x 5%400 x 2 x 0.05 = 40.00

Ordinary Shares

Number of shares x div per share

3000 x 2.19 = 6570.00

Total dividend = 40 + 6570 = $6610.00

Page 64: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• A company has 200,000, $2, 5% preference shares and 1,000,000 50c ordinary shares. They make a profit of $4,300,000 and keep $800,000 for assets and 30% for tax. Calculate:

5. What is the paid up capital of the company?

The paid up capital is how much money was raised when the company was floated. You have to find how much money came from the preference shares and the ordinary shares.

Preference Shares

200,000 x 2 = $400,000

Ordinary Shares

1,000,000 x 0.5 = $500,000

Paid up capital – 400,000 + 500,000 = $900,000

Shares and Taxation

Taxation implications of owning shares

Page 67: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Income Tax• Any income that you make is able to

be taxed.• Everyone is entitled to the first

$6000 of income being tax free – Tax Free Threshold.

• With shares returns from dividends and capital gains are both classed as income and as such are both able to be taxed.

Page 68: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project
Page 69: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• Capital Gains Tax (GCT) is a tax levied on any capital gain (profit) made on an investment.

• Laws relating to capital gains seem to continually change. Some of the general changes are:

• Shares purchased pre 1985 are not subject to CGT.

• Shares purchased pre September 1999 the Capital Gain can be calculated using the indexation model or the discount model.

Capital Gains Tax

Page 70: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• The INDEXATION MODEL takes into account inflation and the “real” gain in price of the shares to calculate the CGT. *

• Shares that are purchased after September 1999 and held for less than 12 months have the capital gain calculated on the entire gain.

Capital Gain = total return – total cost

Page 71: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• For shares purchased after September 1999 and held for more than 12 months the DISCOUNT RULE applies – you find 50% of the gain and pay tax on that (or just divide by 2)

Capital Gain = (total return – total cost) / 2

Page 72: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• Once the capital gain has been calculated, investors pay tax at their marginal rate (the tax bracket they are in)

Capital Gains Tax = capital gain x marginal tax rate

Page 73: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Example 16

• Fred purchased 3000 AMP shares at $6.75 each. Brokerage is 2% and a GST of 10% is applied to brokerage. 9 months later he sells them for $8.98. Fred’s marginal tax rate is 42%

a) Calculate the capital gain

b) Calculate the CGT owing

c) Calculate the after tax return

Page 74: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Consideration : 3000 x 6.75 = 20250

Brokerage : 2% x 20250 = 405

GST : 10% x 405 = 40.50

Total : (20250 + 405 + 40.50)

$20695.50

Step 1 – Buy and Sell the Shares

Consideration : 3000 x 8.98 = 26940

Brokerage : 2% x 26940 = 538.80

GST : 10% x 538.80 = 53.88

Total : (26940 – 538.80 – 53.88)

$26347.32

Step 2 – Sell the Shares

Page 75: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Capital Gain = Total Return – Total CostCapital Gain = 26347.32 – 20695.50 = $5651.82

Step 3 – Calculate the Capital Gain

Capital Gains Tax = Capital Gain x marginal tax rate

Capital Gains Tax = 5651.82 x 42% = $2373.76

Since the shares were held for under 12 months no discount rule applies and tax must be paid on the entire capital gain.

b)

c)After Tax Return = Total return – total cost – CGT

After Tax Return = 26347.32 – 20695.50 – 2373.76

After Tax Return = $3278.06

Page 77: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

Capital Losses• Most investors at some point make

poor decisions regarding investments and make a loss.

• The decision needs to be made to hold on to them and hopefully they will rise in value or sell them.

• If you sell them for less than you bought them for it is called a CAPITAL LOSS.

Page 78: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

• A capital loss can be used to offset any capital gains – this reduces the amount of CGT payable.

• Capital losses are offset against the full value of any discountable capital gains. (i.e. before the 50% rule is applied)

• If your capital losses exceed your capital gains in a year – then the net capital loss (the amount left over) will be carried into the next financial year.

• It is best to offset the loss against any gain that the 50% rule doesn’t apply to.

Page 79: Share Investments 1 Share Investments 1 Subtopic 6.1 - Investing in the Securities Market 1 Test 1 Project

You buy some AAA shares for $4599 and then sell them 18 months later for $3000, and at the same time buy BBB shares for $3980 and sell them 18 months later for $6234. If your tax rate is 34% calculate the tax payable.

AAA Shares

Tax on Dividends• Before 1987 a company would pay tax on their profits (dividends) and then

you as a shareholder would pay tax on your income – so the Government was kind of getting 2 lots of tax out of one payment.

• DIVIDEND IMPUTATION - is a method that gives tax advantages to shareholders who receive dividends.

• FULLY FRANKED Dividends have the tax paid on them by the company at the company rate 30%.

• This means when you get the dividend tax has already been paid – giving you the possibility of :– not paying tax on the dividends– Paying reduced tax on the dividends– Getting money back in the form of a tax return– Depending on your marginal tax rate
