trillion-dollar industry.
DEBT INSTRUMENTS EXPLAINED
The Top World Banks (Money Center Banks) are authorized to issue
blocks of debt instruments like Bank purchase Orders (BPO), Promissory
Notes or Medium Term Notes (MTNs), Zero Coupon Bonds (Zeros)
Letters Of Credit (LCs), Standby Letters Of Credit (SLCs),
and Bank Guarantees (BGs) under International Chamber of Commerce
guidelines (ICC 500 and 600).
The prices of the above Instruments are quoted as a percentage of the
face amount of the instrument, with the initial market price being
established when first issued. Thereafter, as they are resold to other
banks, they are sold at escalating higher prices, thus realizing a profit
on each transaction, which can take as little as one day to complete.
As the above debt instruments are bought and sold within the Banking
Community, the Trading Cycles generally move from the higher level banks
to lower level (smaller) Banks. Often they move through as many as seven
or eight trading cycles, until they are eventually sold to an already
contracted exit Buyer, such as a Pension or Trust Fund, Foundation,
Insurance company, Security Dealer, etc that is looking for a conservative,
reasonable yield investment, suitable for eight figure investment amounts.
By the time the Bank debentures ultimately reach the retail or secondary
market level, they are, of course, selling at substantially higher prices
than when originally issued. For example: the original Issuing Bank
might sell a MTN at 80% or less of its face value, then by the time it
reaches the Retail / Exit Buyer it may well sell at anywhere from 91%
upwards to 103% of its Face value. Since these Transactions are only intended
for large financial institutions, they are denominated in Face value amounts
commonly ranging from U.S. $10 Million.
THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL TRADING
The key to successful trading in Bank Instruments lies in having the right
contacts, initial cash or resources that can be hypothecated for a Line Of
Credit, and the necessary wherewithal to purchase them at the best discount
available at the time, while also having the necessary resources and contacts
to sell the Instruments on the higher priced secondary markets.
This is where Danswan Scott can help by providing you with the right
advice and contacts. The service we provide is at no cost or risk to
you or your Client.
We do not accept upfront fees. However, we do not wish to deal with
shoppers! Therefore please do not expect us to promise to do anything for
you until you commit yourself to us!
There are many so called Brokers out there who will promise you the
world. Some of the totally unscrupulous ones will offer you the world
for an upfront fee.
"WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD ABOUT THIS BEFORE?"
People often say If this is such a good investment, why havent I heard
about it before, and why doesnt my Bank manager know anything about it?
The answer to the above is simply that the internal trading of Bank Debentures
is a privileged and highly lucrative source for participating Banks, and
of course, it is not in the bank industrys best (vested) interests to give
the Public access to such information. It would be difficult to entice Bank
Customers to purchase Certificates of Deposit yielding only 2.5% to 6%, if
they were aware of other equally secure investment accounts that yielded more
than ten times plus higher returns.
The Banks and Traders always employ the strictest non-disclosure and
non-circumvention clauses in Trading Contracts to ensure the confidentiality
of the Transactions. The Contracts usually contain explicit language forbidding
the Contracted parties to disclose any aspect of the transaction for a period
of five years. As a result, it is difficult to locate experienced individuals
who are knowledgeable and willing to candidly discuss these opportunities and
the high profitability associated with them, since in doing so, they would
severely jeopardize their opportunity to participate in further transactions.
There is no smoke or mirror involved; all of the Trading Programs are
conducted under the specific guidelines set up by the International Chamber
of Commerce (I.C.C.), generally known as I.C.C. 500 & 600. The I.C.C., based
in Paris, is the regulatory body for the Worlds Great Money Center Banks.
It has existed for more than 100 years, and exerts strict control on world
banking procedures.
ARE THE INVESTOR'S FUNDS PROTECTED?
In most Programs where the Investor has at least US $100 Million for
investment, his investment monies never leave his own Bank Account,
providing the account is in a Top 50 World Bank. The Account is either
blocked for the period of the Trading program or electronically scanned
on a daily basis to ensure that none of the Investment Funds have been
withdrawn. The return from the Trading Program is guaranteed by the Trader,
who has to perform according to his contract with the Investor in order
to stay in business.
ARE THE PROFITS ABLE TO BE COMPOUNDED?
Under I.C.C. regulations, all transactions close to new business on December
15th of the year and are not repeated in the following year. Those transactions
already in place will continue through to the completion of the agreed period.
Many programs become fully subscribed in a relatively short time, and once closed
to new business will not reopen. During the trading year an Investor may, subject
to continuing availability, step up to another program or reinvest at the same or
higher levels in the currently available program and thus maximize his returns.
WHAT PART DOES THE I.C.C. PLAY?
Regulation of the International Banking Industry is under the authority
of the International Chamber of Commerce. The I.C.C. is based in Paris,
France, and has been in existence for more than 100 years. The I.C.C.
is the worlds monetary policeman and exerts tremendous power in
establishing the policies and procedures under which all international
banking transactions take place.
Some indication of this can be seen when one realizes that the U.S.
Federal Reserve came into being and gained acceptance in the
international banking community only after its approval was granted
by the I.C.C. I.C.C. 500 and 600 regulations are the controlling
authority for all European and international banking transactions.
These regulations are not available for public scrutiny any more
than are those of the Federal Reserve in the USA.
WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE EXISTENCE OF THIS MARKET?
The legal and regulatory environment created by the Bretton Woods Agreement,
which authorized the issuance of fiat paper currencies, provides the necessary
mechanism that enables the forfait trading of U.S. dollars in international
markets. The vast majority of currencies in use around the world today
are fiat currencies, i.e., not backed by real assets.
For example, at the time of their creation (printing), Federal Reserve notes
are literally worth the price of the paper, ink and labor. No more and no less.
Dollar bills are non-redeemable, which means that the Federal Reserve has no
obligation to make their notes good or even to hold their value stable at home
or abroad. We use Federal Reserve Notes inside the USA as the accepted vehicle
of exchange, and they are given value solely by our productivity, labor and taxes.
However, when we ask foreign nations to accept this paper to pay for debt
service and/or trade deficit purchases of their oil cars, VCRs, machine tools,
wine, food clothing etc., there has to be a process to build value for this
otherwise unsecured and non-redeemable fiat currency.
This is what creates the market.
If you feel that this is an area of finance in which you would like and are
able to participate or have Clients who are genuinely able to participate we
would be pleased to hear from you. Remember - we do not accept upfront fees.
