What is the difference between long-term and short-term capital gains? [Video]

Long-term capital gains are taxed at 0, 15, or 20% depending on your income. Short-term capital gains, however, are taxed at your ordinary tax rate. Thus, if youre planning to sell a stock, and you can hold on to it for at least 12 months and 1 day, your gain will be taxed at a lower rate. Now if you have a high income you might also incur a net investment income tax of 3.8% on short-term and long-term capital gains. Also, President Biden has proposed to tax long-term capital gains as ordinary income if you have taxable income above $1 million. He wants to increase the top tax bracket to 39.6%, so that means the maximum rate on long-term capital gains would be 39.6% (plus the 3.8% net investment income tax).

How the Yield Curve Works [Video]

You will frequently hear about the “yield curve” in the financial press. A yield curve plots the yield-to-maturity for various terms of a financial instrument.A yield curve is thus a graphical representation of yields at different terms.You can create a yield curve for different terms of any debt instrument (the U.S. Treasury yield curve, the LIBOR-swap yield curve, etc.). The common theme is that a yield curve plots the interest rate yield for a certain type of financial instrument over different times to maturity. If you’re wondering, “what is the yield?” it’s the return an investor would earn if they bought the security today and held it until its maturity date. Note that the yield curve usually has an upward shape. This is because yields are usually higher for longer maturities. This is not always the case, however, and the yield curve can take on different shapes. — Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.

Asset Liability Management | Risk Factors [Video]

We know that ALM is about properly matching assets and liabilities to manage risk, but what specific risks are faced by a typical bank? The most significant risk is interest rate risk. There are several different types of interest rate risk, as discussed below.Interest rate gap risk occurs when:(a) there is a mismatch between floating-rate and fixed-rate instruments(b) the timing of rate-setting for floating-rate instruments is not alignedInterest rate basis risk occurs when floating-rate assets and floating-rate liabilities are set to different indexes. Option risk occurs when a counterparty exercises an option that changes the expected cash flows of a financial instrument (terminating a contract early, altering the contract, etc.).• This is a type of interest rate risk because option risk is closely linked to the interest ratePrepayment risk occurs when a borrower repays the principal sooner than required, and the bank gets stuck re-lending the money at a less favorable interest rate. • Prepayment risk is a specific type of option risk and is closely linked to the interest rate• Prepayment happens when interest rates decline and borrowers decided to refinance Banks also face risk factors aside from interest rate risks. These include:Exchange rate risk occurs when exchange rates change and the bank translates foreign currency back into its functional currency (the bank will recognize a gain or a loss). Price risk occurs when there are changes to the price of investments in a bank’s trading portfolio.Credit risk occurs when a counterparty defaults (e.g., a borrower fails to pay).Liquidity risk occurs when the bank is unable to satisfy its obligations without suffering extreme losses when one or more sources of funding suddenly become unavailable. • A liquidity crisis could be caused by a run on the repo market, an inability to roll over maturing debt, etc.• Liquidity risk can be severe and cause the bank to become insolvent— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.

Asset Liability Management | Metrics [Video]

The purpose of ALM is to match assets and liabilities to avoid adverse changes to the bank’s profit, firm value, and liquidity. But how do we measure the bank’s profit and firm value? This leads to two of the most important metrics in ALM: NII and EVE. NII standards for “net interest income” and is calculated as follows:NII = interest income from assets – interest expense from liabilitiesFor commercial banks that engage heavily in lending, NII is the primary component of net income. EVE stands for “economic value of equity” and is calculated as follows:EVE = economic value of bank’s assets – economic value of bank’s liabilitiesThe job of the bank’s treasury department is to manage loan originations (assets) and funding sources (liabilities) so that EVE and NII don’t fall below acceptable thresholds. This is the heart of ALM. While NII and EVE can both be used to quantify the effects of interest rate risk, they can’t be used to measure liquidity risk. Thus, banks do liquidity stress tests to see how hypothetical scenarios would affect liquidity (and then create contingency plans to deal with such events).— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.

How the Gift Tax Works | U.S. Tax [Video]

Here’s how the gift tax works:If you give someone a gift, any amount exceeding $15,000 is considered a taxable gift. However, you also get a lifetime exemption of $11.7 million.Thus, let’s say you give someone a gift of $215,000:• The first $15,000 is excluded • The next $200,000 reduces your lifetime exemption to from $11.7 to $11.5 millionThus, you don’t pay any tax because the amount over $15,000 reduced your lifetime exclusion. However:• When the lifetime exclusion goes down, this decreases the exemption your estate gets when you die. Thus, gifts over $15,000 could end up causing you to get hit with estate tax, depending on the value of your estate• If the lifetime exemption reaches zero, any gifts over $15,000 will incur gift taxNow, if you do make a gift exceeding $15,000 you need to file Form 709 (the gift tax return) on or before April 15th of the year following the gift.And if both you and your spouse make a gift, you each need to file a separate Form 709.You might also be subject to gift tax at the state level depending on where you live.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
