Annual General Meeting

Definition of Annual General Meeting

An Annual General Meeting or AGM is an event where a company’s board of directors presents the annual report, future outlook, and strategy to shareholders. AGMs serve as one of the few occasions when shareholders get to interact with a company’s board of directors.

Convertible Debentures

A convertible debenture is a long term debt instrument that can be converted into equity on maturity. Convertible debentures are generally unsecured loans that small to mid-size companies take on in exchange for an interest rate.

Debt To Equity Ratio

The debt to equity ratio is a measure of a company’s financial health that’s calculated by dividing liabilities from shareholder equity.

Debt to equity ratio: Total liabilities / Shareholder equity

A high debt to equity ratio means that a company is taking on more debt to run its business. A low debt to equity ratio means that a company is operating at low debt.

That’s why investors calculate the D/E ratio to understand a company’s ability to operate without debt. Generally, D/E is used for comparative analysis within sectors, not across industries because the ideal debt ratio may vary.

Circuit Breaker

A circuit breaker or market curb is a measure that exchanges use to put a stop to all trading activities across an index or entire market. This regulatory measure is put in place to curb panic selling, especially when markets are in free fall.

That’s why circuit breakers are also known as trading curbs and are put in place when an index or market reaches a specific level. These are the current circuit breaker limits on NSE:

Circuit Breaker Trigger Trading Halt Duration
10% 0-45 minutes
15% 45 minutes; 1 hour 45 minutes; rest of the day
20% Rest of the day

Cost Inflation Index

A Cost Inflation Index or CII is used to calculate a financial security’s price after adjusting for inflation.

Cost Of Carry
Cost Of Revenue
Cover Order
Covered Call Option
Covered Interest Arbitrage
Covered Put
Cross Currency
Currency Futures
Currency Options
Currency Trading
Current Assets
Current Liabilities
Current Ratio
Custodian
Cyclical Stocks

Indices

Indices are a collection of financial instruments that measure the performance of those very instruments.

For example, stock market indices like Nifty 50 and Sensex measure the top 50 and 30 stocks by market capitalization.

If indices go up, it generally means that the underlying stocks are performing well. The opposite is true when indices plummet.

By the way, there’s no limit to how many instruments an index can track. The Nifty Smallcap 250 tracks 250 stocks whereas Nifty Bank tracks 12 stocks.

Follow On Public Offer

A Follow On Public Offer or FPO allows a publicly traded company to issue more stock to public investors. FPOs are similar to IPOs because FPOs allow companies to raise additional capital through the public market.

For an FPO to be possible, a company must have already done an IPO. FPO shares are typically issued at a discount by a company whose track record is already clear because they are publicly traded.
