An MBI occurs when external managers acquire a controlling interest in a company and take over its management. This often involves bringing in new expertise to improve the company's performance.
An MBO is when a company's existing management team purchases the company from its current owners. This allows the managers to take full control and ownership of the business.
A management fee is a charge paid to investment managers for their services in managing a portfolio. It is usually a percentage of the assets under management.
Market price is the current price at which a security is traded in the market. It reflects the supply and demand for the security at a given time.
Market Value Adjustment (MVA)
A Market Value Adjustment (MVA) is a mechanism used in some fixed annuities or pension products to adjust the value of a withdrawal or surrender based on current market conditions. These are designed to encourage investors to stay in for the full term and can protect the insurance or pension provider for losses due to early withdrawals.
Market volatility refers to the degree of variation in market prices over time. High volatility indicates significant price swings, while low volatility suggests stable prices.
Maturity refers to the date on which a financial instrument, such as a bond, becomes due for payment. It marks the end of the investment period and the return of the principal to the investor.
A meeting resolution is a formal decision made by a company's board of directors or shareholders which is then voted upon at a company meeting. It is often used to approve significant actions, such as corporate actions, renumeration/bonuses or changes to the company's structure.
Merger (Corporate Action)
A merger is a corporate action where two companies combine to form a single new entity. This is usually done to achieve synergies, expand market reach, or increase shareholder value.
