Soared past friend and bridge partner Bill Gates as shares of Berkshire Hathaway climbed 25% since the middle of last July. Son of Nebraska politician delivered newspapers as a boy. Filed first tax return at age 13, claiming $35 deduction for bicycle. Studied under value investing guru Benjamin Graham at Columbia. Took over textile firm Berkshire Hathaway 1965.

It's a certainty that insurance-industry profit margins, including ours, will fall significantly in 2008." The Oracle of Omaha issued a challenge to members of The Forbes 400 in October; said he would donate $1 million to charity if the collective group of richest Americans would admit they pay less taxes, as a percentage of income, than their secretaries.

Financing InvestmentFinance comes from 2 main sources:
1. SAVINGS income from your job profits from your investment portfolio
2. BORROWINGS loan from the bank loan from parents/friends/”venture capitalist”
As the syllabus states…identify a range of ways to finance investment: how could you finance a car when you go to uni for example?

Individual investing vs business investmentindividual investing (saving to create wealth,
enhance income, retirement preparation) business investment (productive capacity and
profit generation)
Can you think of examples of both?

WEALTH AND INCOMEAre you able to clearly distinguish between the
concepts of wealth and income? Wealth: Your worth. The value of all your assets.Income: Money you earn as well as interest you earn
on that money or capital gains on any investments.What is the relationship between these two
concepts?
INFLATION: The price of living increases. To control inflation or ‘curb’ inflation the Reserve Bank of Australia will raise the Interest Rate

From SMH “Wealth”Building wealth July 13, 2011 Be the first to comment Question: We are in our early 30's and looking to begin building our wealth. Our home is valued
at around $680,000 with a remaining mortgage of $170,000. Our gross incomes are $75,000 and $110,000 and we have cash in an offset account and a small share portfolio to the value of $120,000. We are interested in investing in blue chip Australian stocks or LICs. Should we use our own funds or borrow? And if borrowing, whose name should the investment be in? Is there an alternative to a margin loan?
Answer: Your goal should be to maximise your deductible interest and minimise your non deductible interest. Accumulating money in the offset account is giving you flexibility so keep doing that, but at the same time take advice about a home equity loan to invest in quality shares. Because the loan would be secured over your home there is little chance of margin calls. If capital gains tax is not a big issue you could also consider selling some of the shares you have and using the proceeds for the offset account or a reduction in your home loan.

Fixed VS variable interest rates
Define what a fixed interest rate is and when is a good time to opt for a fixed rate on a loan?
A fixed interest rate is a set or fixed rate on your loan repayments for a fixed period of time. A good time to opt for a fixed rate is when interest rates are LOW.
What is a variable interest rate and when may this be a better option than a fixed interest rate?

The majority of businesses want to be seen as responsible corporate citizens.
The triple bottom line refers to the economic, environmental and social performance of a business.
Ethics are standards that define what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.
![Page 25: Introduction to Investing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814878550346895db582f4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Business ethics is the application of moral standards to business behaviour such as:
– fair and honest business practices– decent workplace relations– conflict of interest situations– accurate financial management– truthful communication.
A corporate code of conduct encourages ethical business behaviour.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY• Social responsibility refers to a business’s
management of the social, environmental, political and human consequences of its actions.
• A socially responsible business tries to achieve two goals simultaneously:
– expanding the business– providing for the greater good of societyCan you think of an example?
![Page 30: Introduction to Investing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814878550346895db582f4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYSome businesses argue that making a legal profit is
all that is required to act responsibly.Do you agree?
• Today’s society has high expectations of business practices and greater awareness of business’s social responsibility.
Why?• A sustainability report/social audit is a report
that details what a business has done, and is doing, concerning the social issues that affect it.

Debentures and unsecured notesLending to a businessA debenture is a document issued by a firm when you lend it a
sum of money. The debenture states the amount lent, the interest the firm will pay the period of the investment.
A debenture is relatively safe investment as debenture holders are one of the first to be repaid if a firm is liquidated
Unsecured notes are similar to a debenture except that they are one of the last to pay if the firm is liquidated. They are not as safe and consequently attract a higher rate of interest
![Page 39: Introduction to Investing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814878550346895db582f4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Risk and ReturnRisk is related to return
High risk investment may have a high return, or you may lose your money
Low risk investment have a lower return, but you are less likely to lose your money
A Mix of Investments• Spreading your risk is an important concept in investing• Don’t ‘put all of your eggs in one basket’An investment portfolio is a collection of all the investments an
individual has. It is generally wise to invest in as wide a variety of investment products as possible.
![Page 41: Introduction to Investing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814878550346895db582f4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Categories of investment1.Growth assets: shares and property. Higher
return over longer period. Volatile – prices fluctuate greatly in the short term so higher risk
2. Income or defensive assets: government bonds and term deposits, which usually provide a lower return but are lower risk – their value does not change dramatically in the short term.
The price of every asset will fluctuate. This is the risk of investing – the higher the rate of return the greater the risk involved.
![Page 42: Introduction to Investing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814878550346895db582f4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Risk and returnA key factor in investing your money is the
rate of returnThis is the profit you receive on your
investment as a percentage of the original investment
Rate of return= profit from the investment/original investment x 100/period (years) of the investment
![Page 43: Introduction to Investing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814878550346895db582f4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Risk and return e.g.Kate invested $10, 000 in shares. She sold
them one year later and made a profit of $1500. Her rate of return is?
Rate of return= profit from the investment/original investment x 100/period (years) of the investment
![Page 44: Introduction to Investing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814878550346895db582f4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Risk and ReturnKate invested $10, 000 in shares. She sold
them one year later and made a profit of $1500. Her rate of return is?
$1500/$10000x 100/1=15%
So Kate’s rate of return was 15% on her investment!
