Introduction to Participatory Notes:

Participatory notes (PNs / P-Notes) are instruments used by investors or hedge funds that are not registered with the SEBI (Securities & Exchange Board of India) to invest in Indian securities. Indian based brokerages buy Indian-based securities and then issue participatory notes to foreign investors. Any dividends or capital gains collected from the underlying securities go back to the investors.
Participatory notes are instruments used for making investments in the stock markets. However, they are not used within the country. They are used outside India for making investments in shares listed in that country. That is why they are also called offshore derivative instruments.
In the Indian context, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and their sub-accounts mostly use these instruments for facilitating the participation of their overseas clients, who are not interested in participating directly in the Indian stock market. For example, Indian-based brokerages buy India-based securities and then issue participatory notes to foreign investors. Any dividends or capital gains collected from the underlying securities go back to the investors.
Any entity investing in participatory notes is not required to register with SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India), whereas all FIIs have to compulsorily get registered. Trading through participatory notes is easy because participatory notes are like contract notes transferable by endorsement and delivery. Secondly, some of the entities route their investment through participatory notes to take advantage of the tax laws of certain preferred countries. Thirdly, participatory notes are popular because they provide a high degree of anonymity, which enables large hedge funds to carry out their operations without disclosing their identity.

    I think that the court would deem that the investments made by the 1,600 people were securities. On page 647 of our text it states that under the Howey test, “a security exists if an investor invests money in a common enterprise and expects to make a profit form the significant efforts of others.” Given the information we have in the question, I believe that the promissory notes would fall under this test and would definitely be classified as securities.…

    4) Firms use convertible notes to raise money, to offer the bond at a lower coupon rate, to have more of the operating income available for the common stockholder, and to attract investors that may not otherwise be interested. An investor would buy these types of bonds because it gives you the option to convert to stocks. If converted, the firm would reduce a liability and increase equity on the balance sheet for the amount converted.…

    1. Describe Keller's appearance and manner. What is emphasized? Why?Keller is a short european man with grey-white hair and an arched nose. He had soft, pale, clean skin with small pudgy hands that were always manicured although he was missing a finger. He takes more pride in looking after his hands than he does about any other part of his body. He is also a very classical man. Paul finds him very fascinating.2. Of what significance is the description of the environment? What mood does it create?The environment was very dense, wet and green with trees and shrubbery growing at the back of the juggled gully leading down to the mangroves. It was filled with an unnatural greenness that looked kind of of plastic-like. There were bright butterflies everywhere as well. This creates a very calm and tranquil mood that anyone can feel comfortable in. The climate where Paul lives is either dry and hot or raining and humid, almost never in between.3. How vital is music to Paul's family? Why?Paul's parents true careers were in music and they both focused their lives around it. Making music was the most important thing to do in their household. Paul is expected to follow in their footsteps and get a career in music so his life is also focuses around it and in being the best pianist he can be. (Page 15, 16)Paul's parents, bewildered and worried about Keller's teaching techniques, still let Paul go to his weekly classes because he is still a good teacher and he had been taught by very famous pianists that were taught be even more famous pianists. Even though Keller's teaching techniques are odd, they seem to be rather effective.…
