service providers every now and then and strategic ideas

2. Financial Assets:-
All securities and financial elements fall under the broad
category of financial assets. Various investors and credit
seekers have the demand for various types of loans and
deposits.

settled which will be repaid by regular dividends or
interests. Bonds, debentures and equity shares are a few
financial instruments.

Management companies. These help in both acquiring and
investing the money appropriately. Their assistance is sought
for determining the financing combination. From borrowing to
selling, purchasing to the lending of securities, making
payments to regulating risk exposures- all are looked after by
these service providers.

4. Financial Markets:-
In financial markets, the exchange of financial assets is
involved in terms of both the creation and transfer of the
same. The difference here with a real transaction is that there
is no direct money involved in the exchange process and
instead of products or services, deposits, loans and other such
financial assets are used for the transaction process.
There are financial instruments involved in this. Here aclaim of
payment of money in the future is made and interest or
dividend is paid on a periodic basis.
5. Money:-
This may be mentioned at the last but it is undoubtedly one of
the most important components of the financial system. Money
refers to anything that is used to pay for the products bought or
services used and accepted by the seller too. Money acts as an
exchange medium for repayment and acomplete transaction
process. Money holds the value of the product or service.
The exchange process is eased out when money is utilised. Thus,
the financial system is the common meeting place of the
borrowers and lenders from where both can reap mutual
benefits.
