ABSTRACTAsset securitisation is still in the embryonic stage of its development in South Africa. This paper documents the views of a group of senior bankers regarding the likely future trend of securitisation in South Africa. They are not convinced that the benefits of securitisation currently outweigh the costs, but believe that the phenomenon is likely to gather momentum.The primary advantages of asset securitisation are perceived to be that it provides savings on capital, has the potential to increase the non-interest income earned by banks, can improve returns ratios and will provide diversification benefits to investors.Major concerns expressed are that it is initially a complicated and time consuming process with high transaction costs. The reluctance of investors to accept these new securities is expected to be the most significant obstacle to their growth.

ABSTRACTTo enhance the decision-usefulness value of company annual report information, the boundaries of traditional reporting have been extended to include management projections, predictions or forecasts of information relating to the future of a company. The approach has attracted varying attention in several countries. In South Africa, the subject is relatively new. To contribute to the knowledge on the subject, this article examines the opinions of the managing directors of unit trusts on the need for publishing future-oriented information in company annual reports, the presentation of the information, and the need for public accountant audit of the information.

ABSTRACTAn investor wishing to hedge his share portfolio with futures contracts wants to ensure that the losses he incurs with his share portfolio during adverse market conditions are adequately covered by the profits he makes with the futures contracts he sells while wishing to minimise the costs involved with his participation in the futures market. These costs consist of transaction costs, cash outflows for margin deposits, and the opportunity cost of the margins deposited at the broker.The traditional hedging methods do not take the above mentioned costs into consideration. A linear goal programming model for South African conditions is developed which optimises the conflicting needs of the investor by updating his position on a weekly basis.

ABSTRACTAn empirical investigation was undertaken to assess the impact of futures market efficiency on hedging effectiveness and optimal exposure management in the South African SIF market for the period June 1987 to December 1989. It was found that hedge performance in the market has remained on the same levels over the period. Results further suggest that optimal (risk-minimising) hedges are significantly affected by contract mispricings albeit in a manner not consistent enough to formulate general conclusions.
