④ 關於國際貿易融資的翻譯(跪求高手幫忙)-英翻中
這篇文章其實沒有什麼意義。
最重要的是最後一句話:目前預計超過80%的國際貿易採用賒銷的結算方式;也就意味著,傳統的國際結算方式如L/C、O/C等已經不再是主流的結算方式。而貿易融資與國際結算方式是緊密相關的!

⑥ 國家外匯管理局為什麼要用 37 號文替代之前的 75 號文
原因是:
一、 文件出台的目的,75號文的初衷可以總結為「發展非公,支持創投,規范投融資涉及的跨境資本交易。」而37號文的是「發揮市場資源配置作用。走出去,利用國際國內兩種資源兩個市場,便利投融資,服務實體經濟。」
75號文強調的所有制改革37號文木有了,75號文是2005年出台的,結合當時的時代背景始自90年代中期的所有制改革遇到了瓶頸,國家希望通過開辟一條資產證券化的途徑打開局面,但所有制的變革只是資產證券化的伴生品,而不是實質,為了更貼近資產證券化的本真,37號文代之以強調市場的資源配置作用。37號文同時強調了「服務實體經濟」,看得出國家還是想把證券化所得導向實體經濟,這一點仍是一個有中國特色的框框(因為國外有大量案例說明資產證券化的所得流向金融等),比如我在執行這個文件的時候就要看是否資金是用於實體經濟,如果不是我就認為違背了37號文。
二、 基本概念的變化
37號文關於特殊目的公司的概念中添加了「以其合法持有的境外資產或權益,在境外直接設立或間接控制的境外企業。」放寬了對發起人資產的限制,不但允許靠境內資產融資的資本調回,也允許靠境外資產融資的資本調回,這一點比較符合SPC融資的特徵,SPC相較於SPT就是SPC可以有更靈活多樣的資產組合。對於境外資產或權益37號文第三條要求要經過外匯局辦理境外投資登記,但是其實外匯局沒有辦法為境內居民個人辦理境外投資外匯登記,也就是您個人在外國有房子有地,就算它們被SPC真實購買,成為待證券化的資產,抱歉,也登記不了。
另外,37號文依然強調了「以其合法持有的境內企業資產或權益」,注意是境內企業資產,這一點上我認為是37號仍然有局限,和全面放開資產證券化管制仍有一定距離,資產證券化這個行為本身不介意是誰的資產,資產證券化強調的不是企業信用,而是資產信用,只要該資產能在未來帶來穩定的現金流就能證券化,比如我個人有一台CT機,租給一個買賣很好的大醫院,未來這台CT機能給我提供穩定的現金流,我就可以將這台CT機證券化,換來現在的錢干別的。但是這種行為顯然不是37號文允許的,因為CT機不是企業資產。也就是37號文仍然把SPC返程當成一種境內企業融資手段看待。
37號文中返程投資依然規定是通過直接投資渠道,而不是單獨為SPC返程開辟一個渠道,這種設計其實存在一定問題,SPC返程投資是個融資行為,和直接投資行為還是有區別的,直接投資行為外方追求的除了利潤外還有對企業的實際控制,而SPC返程後企業的實際控制權還在發起人手中,境外資本市場投資者只是追求利潤,對企業沒有話語權,把這兩者混在一起對於了解我國的來自境外的資本結構不是特別有利。雖然我和上級部門提過多次,但是未被採納。
三、增加了禁止性條款
37號文第四條是禁止性條款,不準這呀不準哪,體現了法無禁即可為思想,是個進步,但是我去,你這禁止性條款規定的也太模糊了吧,「特殊目的公司,不得危害我國國家主權、安全和社會公共利益」,我認為煙草行業危害社會公共利益,在我管的一畝三分地全都不能證券化融資,這行嗎?瞬間覺得自己權力好大的說。
四、增加了非上市SPC涉及ESOP的規定。
創業高管們可以在境外設SPC直接利用國外的私募基金激勵自己了。
五、細化了罰則,不再是一「逃匯「以蔽之。
總結,37號替代75號文,雖然沒啥翻天覆地的變化,但是還是能看出外匯局的行政思路轉變上有可喜之處,不再一廂情願頤指氣使的說,我覺得你是什麼你就得是什麼,而是說我先了解你是什麼我能為你做什麼,同時又該限制什麼。雖然離真正的松綁資產證券化還有一段距離,但是畢竟近了一步。
PS:針對第二點第一段的修正,慚愧,因為我只看了文件,沒仔細研究具體的操作指引,有些細節沒看到,37號文本次開放的程度比我想像的要大,在操作指引中有這樣一段:「對於境內居民個人以境內外合法資產或權益已向特殊目的公司出資但未按規定辦理境外投資外匯登記的,在境內居民個人向外匯局出具說明函詳細說明理由後,外匯局資本項目管理部門應根據合法性、合理性等原則,根據實際情況辦理補登記。對於涉嫌違反外匯管理規定的,依法進行處理。」這么規定的話,如果你個人在境外有資產的話真的也可以證券化融資了,但是由於這條規定的比較寬泛,對於我這樣的濫好人來說可能你出了說明函就給你補了,但是較真的人可能就該問,喲房子怎麼來的?買房子的錢哪來的?境內匯出的?當時是以什麼名義申報的呀?我查查收支申報,那時候說瞎話了吧,你看不合法吧,不能補!雖然可能出現這種情況,但是畢竟給個人境外資產證券化的合法化留了一個門縫。

2. Leveraged lease financing
Leveraged leasing practices similar to syndicated loans, is a specialized leasing to large-scale projects with the tax benefits of lease financing, mainly led by a leasing company as a trunk, and for the lease of a very large project financing. First set up a leasing company from the operation of the main institutions - a project-based fund management company set up projects to provide more than 20% of the total amount of funds, and the remaining part was the main source of funds banks and social absorb idle idle funds, the use of 100 percent enjoy low tax benefits "in the eight Bo" leverage for the leasing project large amount of funds. The remaining financing and leasing practices are basically the same, but because of the complexity of the contract covers a wide range and even greater. As can enjoy tax benefits, operating norms, comprehensive benefits, and recovery of rent safe, low-cost, and are generally used for aircraft, ships, communications equipment and large complete sets of equipment lease financing.
3. Commissioned by the Financial Leasing
Is a way to have the funds or equipment entrusted to non-bank financial institutions in the financing lease, the lessor is also the first client, the second is the trustee of the lessor at the same time. The lessor to accept the client's money or lease of the subject matter, according to the client's written by the client designated for the lessee of the leasing business. In the subject of the lease term lease of the property of the client, the lessor only charges, not to take risks.

4. Project finance leasing
Lessee to project their own property and to ensure efficiency, and the lessor signed a finance lease contract, the lessor to the lessee of the property and other projects without recourse to the proceeds, we can only rent charged to the project's cash flow and profitability to determine. The seller (that is leasing goods manufacturers) through their holding leasing companies to promote their procts in this way, and expand market share. Communications equipment, medical equipment, transportation equipment, or even the right to operate highway can be used this way. Others, including the return of leasing, also known as sale and leaseback financing leasing; financing to leasing, also known as the financing to leasing.
[Edit] the risk of lease financing
Finance leases from the risk of many uncertain factors, is multifaceted and interrelated, in the full understanding of the operational activities of the characteristics of various risks can be comprehensive, scientific analysis of risks to formulate corresponding measures. The risk of financing leasing main categories as follows:
(1) proct market risks. In the market environment, regardless of the financing lease, loan or investment, as long as the funds used to purchase equipment or to carry out technological transformation, first of all, should consider leasing equipment procts market risks, which need to know to sell the procts, market share rate and occupancy, proct trends in the development of the market, the consumption structure and the mentality of the consumers and consumption capacity. If these factors are not fully understand, the survey are not careful, and may increase the market risk.
(2) financial risks. For the leasing of a financial nature, financial risks throughout the entire business activities. The lessor, the biggest risk is that the lessee is also rent capacity, it has a direct impact on the operation of leasing companies and survival, therefore, the risk of also rent from the project began, it should be cause for concern.
Currency also have risks, especially international payments, methods of payment, payment date, time, the remittance channels and means of payment options improperly, will increase the risk.
(3) Trade risk. For the leasing of a trade properties, the risks of trade negotiations to orders from the acceptance testing there is a risk. The merchandise trade in the modern development of a relatively complete, the community is also supporting the establishment of corresponding institutions and preventive measures, such as a letter of credit, transport insurance, commodity inspection, commercial arbitration and the risk of credit counseling have taken precautions and remedial measures, but because people's awareness and understanding of the risks of different degrees, and some means of a commercial nature, coupled with the inexperience of the management of enterprises and other factors, all of these instruments have not been used, making trade risk still exists.
(4) technical risks. One of the benefits of lease financing before other enterprises is the introction of advanced technology and equipment. In the actual course of the operation, or advanced technology, advanced technology is mature, mature technology for the legal rights and interests of others, is an important risk a technical reasons. Serious, e to technical problems so that equipment in a state of paralysis. Other risks include the economic environment, force majeure, and so on.
[Edit] the accounting treatment of lease financing
[Edit], the tenant on the accounting treatment of lease financing
1, the start of the lease accounting treatment
At the start of the lease, the tenant will usually be the start of the lease rental assets in the original book value of the minimum lease payments and the present value of the lower of the two leased assets as recorded value of the minimum lease payments as a long-term payables recorded value, and the difference between the two records is not recognised financing costs. However, if the assets of the leasing assets of the enterprise small proportion of the total, the tenant may be the start of the lease in the minimum lease payment records of assets and long-term rent payments. This time, the "proportional" not usually refers to fixed assets financed by leasing the lessee total assets total less than 30% (including 30%). Under such circumstances, rent for the financing of long-term assets and the determination of the amount e, the tenant may, at its option, which can be used minimum lease payments, and can also be used leasing assets in the original book value of the minimum lease payments and the present value of the two in the lower. Then what "leasing the original book value of assets" refers to the start of the lease rental, as reflected in the accounts, the book value of the leased asset.
Lessee in the calculation of the minimum lease payments at the current value, if the lessor that the interest rate implicit in the lease, the lessor should be used as the interest rate implicit in the discount rate, otherwise, shall be stipulated in the lease contract interest rate as the discount rate . If the lessor's interest rate implicit in the lease and rental rates stipulated in the contract are not available, it should be used over the same period interest rates on bank loans as the discount rate. Which is implicit in the lease rates, in the inception of the lease, the minimum lease payments and the present value of the unsecured portion of the resial value of the current value of assets and equivalent to the original book value of the discount rate.
2, the initial direct costs of the accounting treatment
Initial direct costs refer to the lease negotiations and the signing of the lease agreement occurred in the course of the lease can be directly attributable to the cost of the project. Lessee in the initial direct costs usually have stamp ty, commission, attorney fees, travel expenses, such as the costs of negotiations. Lessee in the initial direct costs should be recognised as an expense in the current period. Accounts for its handling: debit "management fees" and other subjects, credited to "bank" and other subjects.
3, no finance charge assessed
In the finance lease, the lessee to the lessor to pay the rent, include the repayment of principal and interest in two parts. Lessee to pay rent, on the one hand to rece long-term payables, on the other hand, while not confirmed by the leasing costs for a certain method to confirm the current financing costs, the first rent (that is, initially matching each rental payment) Under the circumstances, the lease term is the first phase of rent paid no interest, should only rece the long-term payments, not to confirm the current financing costs.
Not sharing in the finance costs, the lessee should be used to calculate certain way. According to the guidelines, the lessee can be used in real interest rates, the straight-line method can also be used and the number of years of combined law. In using the effective interest method, in accordance with the inception of the lease is a lease assets and liabilities are recorded based on the value of different financing costs assessment rate options are also different. No finance charge assessed specific divided into the following types:
(1), leasing assets and liabilities to a minimum lease payments accounted for the present value of value to the investor and the interest rate implicit in the lease for the discount rate. Under such circumstances, investors should be the interest rate implicit in the lease for the assessment rate.
(2), leasing assets and liabilities to a minimum lease payments for the present value of recorded value, and to lease contract provides for the interest rate as the discount rate. In such circumstances, should be stipulated in the lease contract as the rate of assessment rates.
(3), leasing assets and liabilities to the original book value of the leased asset accounted for the value of the lessee does not exist resial value guarantees and preferential purchase right to choose. In such circumstances, should be re-calculation of the cost-sharing rate financing. Financing cost-sharing rate refers to the inception of the lease, the minimum lease payments equal to the present value of lease assets in the original book value of the discount rate. In the lessee or related to the leased asset resial value of the third-party security situation, and the similar, the end of the lease, not recognised all the financing costs should be shared End, and lease liabilities should also be reced to zero.
(4), leasing assets and liabilities to the original book value of the leased asset accounted for the value of the lessee does not exist guaranteed resial value, but there is preferential option to purchase. In such circumstances, should be re-calculation of the cost-sharing rate financing. At the end of the lease, not recognised all the financing costs should be shared End, and lease liabilities should also be reced to zero.
(5), leasing assets and liabilities to the original book value of the leased asset value accounted for, and the existence of the lessee guaranteed resial value.
Under such circumstances, the cost-sharing should be re-financing rate. Related to the lessee or third parties on the resial value of leased assets as security has been provided or not at the end of the lease renewal and to pay a penalty of circumstances, the end of the lease, not recognised all the financing costs should be shared End, and lease liabilities should also be reced to the guaranteed resial value, or to be paid by the breach.
Lessee shall pay each of the rent shall be the amount of rent paid, debit "long-term payables - to finance leases," subjects, credited to "bank" subjects, if payment of rent, which includes compliance costs, At the same time debit should be "manufacturing costs", "management fees" and other subjects. At the same time should be recognized in accordance with the current amount of the finance charge, debit "financial costs" subjects, credited the "no finance charge" subjects.
4, the leased asset depreciation Provision
Tenants should finance the lessee Provision for depreciation of fixed assets, should address two main issues:
(1), depreciation policy
Provision for asset depreciation, lease, the tenant should be its own assets Provision line depreciation method. If the lessee or third parties relating to the leased asset security has been provided, should be credited for the amount of depreciation on fixed assets, and the inception of the lease accounting resial value after decting the value of the balance. If the lessee or third parties relating to the leased asset resial value of the security has been provided, the total amount of depreciation should be credited for the start of the lease value of fixed assets recorded.
(2), the depreciation period
Identify the leased asset depreciation period, should be in accordance with the lease contract. If reasonable certainty that the lessee at the end of the lessee will obtain ownership of the leased asset, the lessee can be identified with all of the assets of the remaining useful life, and should therefore be the start of the lease to lease the remaining useful life of assets as depreciation period; If you can not reasonably determine whether the lease to the lessee at the end of the lease ownership of the assets to be made to the lease period and the remaining useful life of the leased asset in the shorter of the two as the depreciation period.
5, the accounting treatment of compliance costs
Many types of compliance costs, rent for the financing of fixed assets improved expenditure, technical advice and service charges, fees should be increased staff training credited to the extension of sharing costs, debit "long-term prepaid expenses," and "accrued expenses" , "manufacturing costs", "management fees" and other subjects, the fixed assets regular maintenance, insurance, etc. can be directly charged to expense in the current period, debit "manufacturing costs," and "operating expenses" and other subjects, credited to "bank deposits, "wait until the subjects.
6, or the accounting treatment of rent
Since the rent or the amount of uncertainty, unable to adopt a rational approach to its system for sharing, in the actual event, debit "manufacturing costs," and "operating expenses" and other subjects, credited to "bank" and other subjects.
7, at the end of the lease accounting treatment
At the end of lease, the tenant on the lease is usually the disposition of the assets of three circumstances:
(1), the return of the leased asset. Debit "long-term payables - to finance leases," and "accumulated depreciation" subjects, credited "fixed assets - fixed assets financed by leasing all" subjects.
(2), renewable lease concession assets.

⑧ 國外開展跨境融資租賃業務到底怎麼做
第一部分:當地法律考量(Local Legal Considerations)
開展跨境融資租賃業務最根本的考量是分析當地的法律環境,向當地富有經驗的律師的咨詢總是必不可少的。相關融資租賃業務的考量因素包括。
其一、外資所有權和公司治理的限制;
其二、當地的牌照規定;
其三、目標國對可能提供給客戶的金融產品(Financing Procts)的種類限制;
其四、承租人無條件支付租金( hell-or-high-water)條款在當地法律中是否可行;
其五、出租人保護和行使其租賃設備所有權的能力,或者針對第三人或承租人出租人實現其租賃設備上第一位擔保物權的能力;
其五、目標國的就業和勞動法;
其六、隱私保護法律;
其七、遵守本國出口控制和相關法律和規章;
其八、其它相關法律(高利貸限制、反洗錢、合同是否用當地語言等)。
具體展開如下,但需注意的是:在一些國家,如澳大利亞和加拿大,各省或州的法律也許差別很大。
一、外資所有權和公司治理的限制(Foreign Ownership and Mangement Restrictions)
在一些國家,當地法律禁止外資在從事租賃的公司中佔有100%的股份。因而,外國公司必須和當地的公司或個人合作來操作融資租賃,合資企業(joint venture)最為常見。例如,印度(本地股份至少佔25%),印尼(本地股份至少佔25%),菲律賓(本地股份至少佔40%)。這些本地股份規定有時比較含糊,在一些情況下,完全可以消弱它們對公司財務和治理影響。
在一些國家,盡管沒有本地股份的規定,但有要求本地治理的規定。例如,在一些國家(包括奧地利、澳大利亞、印度、日本、南朝鮮、馬來西亞、新加坡和泰國),一個或兩個董事必須要求是當地居民或公民。在另一些國家,一半或大多數董事必須是當地人(包括阿根廷和汶萊)。
二、牌照規定(Licensing Requirements)
在一些國家,開展租賃業務需要向政府機關申請牌照。例如,在巴西,需要向巴西中央銀行申請租賃牌照。其它需要牌照的國家(或地區)包括香港和波多黎各。有時,這些規定是敷衍的,僅需要填寫表格、按期更新和繳費。有時,取得和保持牌照是昂貴和嚴格的。例如,在巴西,租賃公司須符合最低的注冊資本規定、嚴格的經營准則和繁多的報告義務。
在另外一些國家,租賃公司是否需要牌照取決於其提供的金融產品。例如,在墨西哥非受監管的公司(non-regulated company)可以操作經營性租賃(operating lease),在當地稱為「純租賃」(pure lease),區別於「融資租賃」(financial lease)。 純租賃和融資租賃的一個重要區別是承租人的期終選擇權。在墨西哥,純租賃包含期終的公平市場價值購買選擇權,但不會是固定價格的選擇權(無論這是名義價格或含有市場因素)。大多數法律專家認為,包含任何固定價格購買選擇權都會導致一個租約變為融資租賃,而融資租賃可能只有那些有牌照的、受監管的融資租賃公司才可提供。同樣的牌照規范適用於其它拉美國家(如哥倫比亞、秘魯、委內瑞拉)。
類似的牌照制度也存在於許多歐洲國家,特別是南歐。例如,在法國經營租賃通常是非受監管的活動。然而,包含承租人固定價格購買選擇權的租賃(在租賃物用於商業時法語叫credit-l,在用於消費叫location avec option d』achat)只能由受「法蘭西銀行」監管的有牌照的公司提供。另外一些國家比利時、西班牙、義大利的牌照制度也或多或少參差不齊。不幸的是,盡管這些國家同為歐盟成員國,在一個國傢具有合法牌照的融資租賃公司並不一定可以在另外的歐盟國家獲得牌照豁免。其中一些國家牌照規定的嚴格和對不符合規定的處罰是不容低估的。
因許多歐盟國家有關牌照的規定不同,如何才能符合諸多國家的不同規定?一個解決方案是在歐盟境內通過一個受歐盟成員國中央銀行監管的銀行來操作。根據《歐盟第二銀行規章》(EU's Second Banking Directive),只要符合條件,受歐盟成員國中央銀行監管的銀行可以為在大多其它歐盟國家融資服務(包括租賃)「頒發通行證」,而不需要符合其它歐盟國家的規定(即跨境經營)。這種「頒發通行證」模式的細節不是本文討論的內容,但有幾點需要指出。首先,作為一個持牌銀行所涉的監管規定繁多,一般比獲得另一個租賃牌照麻煩得多,任何不合規都可能會受到嚴厲處罰。其次,遵行歐盟各國實行的《歐盟第二銀行規章》的條件也不太容易,有時還會產生另外的問題(即,納稅問題)。
三、金融產品的其它提供限制(Other Limitations on Financing Proct Offerings)
在一些國家,國外的租賃公司不可以合法得提供的某些金融產品,或者是因為產品本身的原因被禁止,或者外資融資租賃公司不可能得到所需的牌照或地位。
四、可執行性問題 (Enforceability Issues)
在許多國家,其制定法沒有像美國《統一商法典》(Uniform Commercial Code)第2A章那樣對動產租賃(personal property leasing)作出規定。在多數情況下,當地法院參照合同法或不動產租賃(real property leasing)的法律來解釋租賃協議和決定租賃協議的可執行性。在許多國家,承租人無條件支付租金( hell-or-high-water)條款或者不可執行或者由法院根據個案情況決定。這在大陸法系國家較常見,包括大多拉美國家和德國。在這些國家,如果出租人違約,或者(更為重要的是)如果租賃物有缺陷或不能達到廠家或賣方所說的質量標准,即使租約含有承租人無條件支付租金( hell-or-high-water)條款,法院也會允許承租人停止支付租金和/或解除租約。這種風險很難控制,值得出租人在業務擴展時仔細衡量。
在一些國家,承租人無條件支付租金( hell-or-high-water)條款只在某些租賃中可執行。例如,在具有英美法源遠的澳大利亞、紐西蘭和若干其它亞太國家,如果一個租約含有承租人購買選擇權條款(大多情況下,甚至是公平市場價值的購買選擇權),該租約會被認為是分期付款購買合同(hire-purchase contract)。在以上一部分國家中,承租人無條件支付租金( hell-or-high-water)條款在租賃合同中可執行,在分期付款購買合同(hire-purchase contract)不可執行。正因為此原因,在這些亞太國家中,租賃合同一般不包含承租人購買選擇權條款。
另外賠償條款、自由轉讓條款、續約條款、違約和補償條款在有的國家也可能得不到執行。所以,在做跨國租賃業務時,最好讓當地律師審查一下租賃合同,搞清楚那些條款在當地不可執行,以便評估風險。
五、抵押擔保和相關問題(Collateral Security and Related Issues)
正如許多國家缺少如《統一商法典》第2A章規定的動產租賃制定法一樣,許多國家同樣缺少如《統一商法典》第9章規定的有擔保的交易。在租賃業務國際擴展決策中,非常重要的一件事情是了解出租人在多大程度上可以保護和行使其對租賃物的所有權和出租人在多大程度上可以取得和行使第一位的抵押物權或其它擔保物權。
許多國家的法律體系類似美國,法律一般認可和保護出租人對租賃物的所有權和(或)允許出租人就融資財產行使第一位的抵押權。如加拿大的《動產擔保法》(Personal Property Security Acts)差不多就是以美國的《統一商法典》第9章為藍本。
但在一些國家,或者因為缺少現行有效的動產擔保法律,或者因為當地法律體系的性質,就租賃的動產不可能取得可執行的、第一位的擔保物權。有時候,這取決於所涉財產的類型。例如,在墨西哥能取得第一位擔保物權的唯一辦法是質押(pledge),而質押只能通過佔有擔保物來實現,很顯然這對租賃物來說根本不可行。但飛機和輪船例外,它們適用抵押登記制度。對於在墨西哥的純租賃來說,如果承租人違約,出租人須通過普通的法律程序來回復租賃物的所有權,這種法律程序漫長而昂貴,而且所有權回復很少能確保成功。
在一些因為缺少現行有效的動產擔保法律的國家,地方法律和慣例有時能部分地減少此種風險。還是以墨西哥為例,一般情況下,對於每期的租金承租人會簽署憑出租人指示支付的本票(promissory notes payable to the order of the lessor)。如果有一期租金未付,出租人可以啟動簡易法律程序(summary legal proceedings )(區別於漫長的普通法律程序)向承租人收租金。在簡易法律程序下,出租人有權取得承租人的財產。
最後,評估在目標國的法律下當承租人違約時出租人所能得到的動產擔保法上的救濟和其它相關救濟時,應該考慮到當地有關破產或倒閉的法律(local bankruptcy or insolvency law)規定。眾所周知,這些法律各國差別很大,會使出租人面臨額外的信用和擔保風險。
六、就業和勞動法(Employment and Labor Laws)
充分了解當地的就業和勞動法的性質和後果非常重要。在僱傭當地雇員之前,要詳細地與當地律師就僱傭和解僱當地雇員的法律義務探討交流。在許多情況下,這些義務往往和本國有很大不同,非常可能增加公司成本。例如,在許多國家,僱傭員工意味著僱主有義務支付資金給政府發起來的退休/養老金計劃。這些規定千差萬別,可能產生意想不到的開支。
在某些國家(如荷蘭、法國和德國),一旦雇員達到某一數量標准(法國是50人),當地法律規定要建立工會。在這些國家,幾乎所有僱主想要實行的任何有關就業環境的變化都需要事先和工會磋商(包括裁員、重組導致的僱主變化、業務性質改變、補償和福利變化等)。盡管各國規定不盡相同,但在某些時候沒有工會的同意僱主很難改變任何東西。
另一個考量是當地法律對就業終止的規定。雖然美國存在一些解僱員工的限制(如反歧視法),但美國基本上是一個就業合同「自由」的國家。但在其他許多國家,情況有很大不同。在一些國家,僱主常要求就「不公平解僱」賠償(如愛爾蘭)。在這些有類似規定的國家,勞動法庭或類似機構可以審查僱主的解僱理由(雇員表現等),可能要求僱主支付非常高的遣散費。在一些國家(如日本)即使解僱一名表現很差的員工也絕非易事。
七、隱私/資料保護法律(Privacy/Data Protection Laws)
應該請教當地的律師當地隱私或資料保護的范圍和適用問題。這些法律常常調整涉及客戶和/雇員的機密信息的收集、處理、儲存、傳遞、分享和/或使用。例如,資料保護法尤禁止把客戶和雇員的信息跨境傳遞給沒有同等資料保護法的國家(即使接受方是傳遞方的關聯公司也不得例外)。因為美國基本沒有類似於歐盟國家那樣的資料保護法,所以麻煩來了,因為總部在美國的租賃公司一般希望能收到它歐洲子公司發來的這些信息,以便其審查全球信貸風險和評估雇員。
美國政府為了在這方面支持美國公司,與歐盟磋商簽訂了所謂的《安全港協議》(safe-harbor agreement)。在此協議中,美國的公司可以自願採用和公布一項符合歐盟隱私法規定的隱私政策,並向美國商務部登記。歐洲的公司也允許在合規的條件下與美國的「安全港」公司共享客戶和雇員的機密信息。
隱私/資料保護法律在世界各地越來越盛行。除了在幾乎每個歐盟國家,類似法律也在阿根廷和澳大利亞實行。
八、本國出口控制和相關法律法規(Export Control and Related Laws and Regulations)
這包括:(1)有的法律規定國外的子公司須取得本國出口許可證書;(2)法律禁止同某些國家交易(例如,伊朗、古巴等);(3)有關防止軍事武器技術擴散的法律。
九、其它法律考量(Other Legal Considerations)
除了上訴法律考量因素,准備在國外拓展業務的融資租賃公司應該和當地的律師就可能對當地融資租賃操作可能發生影響的大量其它當地法律的適用范圍深入探討。例如,有些國家的法律直接或間接地要求融資合同(或其它文件)應當使用當地的語言(例如印尼和加拿大魁北克省)。在有些國家(或地區),當地的商業慣例要求文件用當地語言書就(如:日本、南朝鮮、台灣、中華人民共和國、大多拉丁美洲國家和許多歐洲國家)。
值得注意的是,在一些非英語國家文件可以用英語書就而且有時也經常這樣做。但還是使用當地語言為好,因為在訴訟中,法官理解協議的時候要依靠法庭指定的翻譯。而這種翻譯質量往往參差不齊,法律條款很可能被翻譯得面目全非,造成法官理解的偏差。但很顯然,使用當地語言書就的文件,無論是法定與否,都 會增加額外的商業成本。

The definition of lease financing

(1) proct market risks. In the market environment, regardless of the financing lease, loan or investment, as long as the funds used to purchase equipment or to carry out technological transformation, first of all, should consider leasing equipment procts market risks, which need to know to sell the procts, market share rate and occupancy, proct trends in the development of the market, the consumption structure and the mentality of the consumers and consumption capacity. If these factors are not fully understand, the survey are not careful, and may increase the market risk.
(2) financial risks. For the leasing of a financial nature, financial risks throughout the entire business activities. The lessor, the biggest risk is that the lessee is also rent capacity, it has a direct impact on the operation of leasing companies and survival, therefore, the risk of also rent from the project began, it should be cause for concern.
Currency also have risks, especially international payments, methods of payment, payment date, time, the remittance channels and means of payment options improperly, will increase the risk.
(3) Trade risk. For the leasing of a trade properties, the risks of trade negotiations to orders from the acceptance testing there is a risk. The merchandise trade in the modern development of a relatively complete, the community is also supporting the establishment of corresponding institutions and preventive measures, such as a letter of credit, transport insurance, commodity inspection, commercial arbitration and the risk of credit counseling have taken precautions and remedial measures, but because people's awareness and understanding of the risks of different degrees, and some means of a commercial nature, coupled with the inexperience of the management of enterprises and other factors, all of these instruments have not been used, making trade risk still exists.
(4) technical risks. One of the benefits of lease financing before other enterprises is the introction of advanced technology and equipment. In the actual course of the operation, or advanced technology, advanced technology is mature, mature technology for the legal rights and interests of others, is an important risk a technical reasons. Serious, e to technical problems so that equipment in a state of paralysis. Other risks include the economic environment, force majeure, and so on.
[Edit] the accounting treatment of lease financing
[Edit], the tenant on the accounting treatment of lease financing
1, the start of the lease accounting treatment
At the start of the lease, the tenant will usually be the start of the lease rental assets in the original book value of the minimum lease payments and the present value of the lower of the two leased assets as recorded value of the minimum lease payments as a long-term payables recorded value, and the difference between the two records is not recognised financing costs. However, if the assets of the leasing assets of the enterprise small proportion of the total, the tenant may be the start of the lease in the minimum lease payment records of assets and long-term rent payments. This time, the "proportional" not usually refers to fixed assets financed by leasing the lessee total assets total less than 30% (including 30%). Under such circumstances, rent for the financing of long-term assets and the determination of the amount e, the tenant may, at its option, which can be used minimum lease payments, and can also be used leasing assets in the original book value of the minimum lease payments and the present value of the two in the lower. Then what "leasing the original book value of assets" refers to the start of the lease rental, as reflected in the accounts, the book value of the leased asset.
Lessee in the calculation of the minimum lease payments at the current value, if the lessor that the interest rate implicit in the lease, the lessor should be used as the interest rate implicit in the discount rate, otherwise, shall be stipulated in the lease contract interest rate as the discount rate . If the lessor's interest rate implicit in the lease and rental rates stipulated in the contract are not available, it should be used over the same period interest rates on bank loans as the discount rate. Which is implicit in the lease rates, in the inception of the lease, the minimum lease payments and the present value of the unsecured portion of the resial value of the current value of assets and equivalent to the original book value of the discount rate.
2, the initial direct costs of the accounting treatment
Initial direct costs refer to the lease negotiations and the signing of the lease agreement occurred in the course of the lease can be directly attributable to the cost of the project. Lessee in the initial direct costs usually have stamp ty, commission, attorney fees, travel expenses, such as the costs of negotiations. Lessee in the initial direct costs should be recognised as an expense in the current period. Accounts for its handling: debit "management fees" and other subjects, credited to "bank" and other subjects.
3, no finance charge assessed
In the finance lease, the lessee to the lessor to pay the rent, include the repayment of principal and interest in two parts. Lessee to pay rent, on the one hand to rece long-term payables, on the other hand, while not confirmed by the leasing costs for a certain method to confirm the current financing costs, the first rent (that is, initially matching each rental payment) Under the circumstances, the lease term is the first phase of rent paid no interest, should only rece the long-term payments, not to confirm the current financing costs.
Not sharing in the finance costs, the lessee should be used to calculate certain way. According to the guidelines, the lessee can be used in real interest rates, the straight-line method can also be used and the number of years of combined law. In using the effective interest method, in accordance with the inception of the lease is a lease assets and liabilities are recorded based on the value of different financing costs assessment rate options are also different. No finance charge assessed specific divided into the following types:
(1), leasing assets and liabilities to a minimum lease payments accounted for the present value of value to the investor and the interest rate implicit in the lease for the discount rate. Under such circumstances, investors should be the interest rate implicit in the lease for the assessment rate.
(2), leasing assets and liabilities to a minimum lease payments for the present value of recorded value, and to lease contract provides for the interest rate as the discount rate. In such circumstances, should be stipulated in the lease contract as the rate of assessment rates.
(3), leasing assets and liabilities to the original book value of the leased asset accounted for the value of the lessee does not exist resial value guarantees and preferential purchase right to choose. In such circumstances, should be re-calculation of the cost-sharing rate financing. Financing cost-sharing rate refers to the inception of the lease, the minimum lease payments equal to the present value of lease assets in the original book value of the discount rate. In the lessee or related to the leased asset resial value of the third-party security situation, and the similar, the end of the lease, not recognised all the financing costs should be shared End, and lease liabilities should also be reced to zero.
(4), leasing assets and liabilities to the original book value of the leased asset accounted for the value of the lessee does not exist guaranteed resial value, but there is preferential option to purchase. In such circumstances, should be re-calculation of the cost-sharing rate financing. At the end of the lease, not recognised all the financing costs should be shared End, and lease liabilities should also be reced to zero.
(5), leasing assets and liabilities to the original book value of the leased asset value accounted for, and the existence of the lessee guaranteed resial value.
Under such circumstances, the cost-sharing should be re-financing rate. Related to the lessee or third parties on the resial value of leased assets as security has been provided or not at the end of the lease renewal and to pay a penalty of circumstances, the end of the lease, not recognised all the financing costs should be shared End, and lease liabilities should also be reced to the guaranteed resial value, or to be paid by the breach.
Lessee shall pay each of the rent shall be the amount of rent paid, debit "long-term payables - to finance leases," subjects, credited to "bank" subjects, if payment of rent, which includes compliance costs, At the same time debit should be "manufacturing costs", "management fees" and other subjects. At the same time should be recognized in accordance with the current amount of the finance charge, debit "financial costs" subjects, credited the "no finance charge" subjects.
4, the leased asset depreciation Provision
Tenants should finance the lessee Provision for depreciation of fixed assets, should address two main issues:
(1), depreciation policy
Provision for asset depreciation, lease, the tenant should be its own assets Provision line depreciation method. If the lessee or third parties relating to the leased asset security has been provided, should be credited for the amount of depreciation on fixed assets, and the inception of the lease accounting resial value after decting the value of the balance. If the lessee or third parties relating to the leased asset resial value of the security has been provided, the total amount of depreciation should be credited for the start of the lease value of fixed assets recorded.
(2), the depreciation period
Identify the leased asset depreciation period, should be in accordance with the lease contract. If reasonable certainty that the lessee at the end of the lessee will obtain ownership of the leased asset, the lessee can be identified with all of the assets of the remaining useful life, and should therefore be the start of the lease to lease the remaining useful life of assets as depreciation period; If you can not reasonably determine whether the lease to the lessee at the end of the lease ownership of the assets to be made to the lease period and the remaining useful life of the leased asset in the shorter of the two as the depreciation period.
5, the accounting treatment of compliance costs
Many types of compliance costs, rent for the financing of fixed assets improved expenditure, technical advice and service charges, fees should be increased staff training credited to the extension of sharing costs, debit "long-term prepaid expenses," and "accrued expenses" , "manufacturing costs", "management fees" and other subjects, the fixed assets regular maintenance, insurance, etc. can be directly charged to expense in the current period, debit "manufacturing costs," and "operating expenses" and other subjects, credited to "bank deposits, "wait until the subjects.
6, or the accounting treatment of rent
Since the rent or the amount of uncertainty, unable to adopt a rational approach to its system for sharing, in the actual event, debit "manufacturing costs," and "operating expenses" and other subjects, credited to "bank" and other subjects.
7, at the end of the lease accounting treatment
At the end of lease, the tenant on the lease is usually the disposition of the assets of three circumstances:
(1), the return of the leased asset. Debit "long-term payables - to finance leases," and "accumulated depreciation" subjects, credited "fixed assets - fixed assets financed by leasing all" subjects.
(2), renewable lease concession assets. If the lessee to exercise the right to choose renewable concession, the lease shall be deemed to have been made the presence of the corresponding accounting treatment. If no expiry of renewal, to the lessor under the lease contract to pay a penalty, debit "operating expenses" subjects, credited to "bank" and other subjects.
(3), stay purchase the leased asset. In the lessee enjoy preferential purchase right to choose, purchase price paid, debit "long-term payables - to finance lease," credited "bank" and other subjects at the same time, will be fixed assets from "all fixed assets financed by leasing" Details Details of the other subjects into subjects.
⑩ 請問美國私募基金是怎樣融資的
盡管私募基金的投資方式不盡相同,但是私募基金大多僱用專業人士負責基金管理,採用精確的數量模型,對投資交易實行所謂的程序化投資決策管理。比如長期資本管理公司的合夥人中就有1997年諾貝爾經濟學獎獲得者默頓和斯克爾斯等人,並且僱用了一些大學里的博士弟子操盤,通過定價模型計算各種相關證券的價格差異,捕捉交易機會。
發展概況
私募基金是相對於公募的共同基金而言的一種基金類型。私募基金一般屬於合夥人制的小型私人投資公司,主要投資於公開交易的證券和衍生金融產品,是一種高風險的投機基金。 90年代以來,隨著金融全球化趨勢的加深和各種投資工具的創新,美國私募基金業獲得極大的發展,基金的數量和規模每年都以20%的速度增長,現在已經成為美國金融領域一支成長最快的力量。目前,美國至少有4200家私募基金,資本總額超過3000億美元。
美國的私募基金投資領域廣泛,投資手法多樣。1998年,美國先鋒對沖基金研究公司等機構對美國私募基金的投資策略進行了研究,他們按投資策略的不同將美國的私募基金劃分為16類。但是一般來說,美國的私募基金主要有兩大類:一類是宏觀基金,另一類是相對價值基金。宏觀基金主要利用各國宏觀經濟的不穩定性進行宏觀經濟的不均衡套利活動。宏觀基金收集世界各國的宏觀經濟情況並進行研究,當發現一國的宏觀經濟變數偏離均衡值,便集中資金對目標國的股市、利率、匯率、實物進行大筆的反向操作。當該國宏觀經濟形勢發生變化,資產價格將會大幅貶值,宏觀基金將從中獲得巨額的收益。一般認為宏觀基金風險巨大,其對全球金融體系的破壞性較大,常常被人們指責為金融危機的製造者。宏觀基金的代表是索羅斯領導的著名的量子基金。相對價值基金與宏觀基金不同,它一般不冒較大的市場風險,只對密切相關的證券的相對價格進行投資。由於證券的相對價格差異一般較小,如果不用杠桿效應的話,私募基金就無法取得高額的收益,因此,相對價值基金更傾向於使用高杠桿操作。最著名的相對價值基金是美國的長期資本管理公司(LTCM)。由於LTCM運用高度的杠桿操作,僅僅5 年的時間,這家公司就以投資失敗而告終(LTCM成立於1993年,1994年2月正式開始運營,1998年9月投資徹底失敗)。
按照私募基金的注冊地,我們還可將美國的私募基金劃分為美國國內注冊的基金和境外注冊的基金。現在,只有不到一半的美國私募基金在國內注冊,一半以上在美國境外注冊。境外注冊的基金又稱為離岸基金,這些基金一般注冊在西歐的盧森堡、英國的海峽群島、開曼群島、百慕大等一些避稅天堂里,專門在美國境外從事離岸證券投資。這樣,這些基金一方面逃避了美國政府的監管,同時也為投資者逃避了利潤所得稅。
設立程序與組織結構
美國關於私募基金的相關法令主要包含在1933年頒布的《證券法》、1934年頒布的《證券交易法》、1940年頒布的《投資公司法》和《投資顧問法》內,同時私募基金還受各個州《藍天法》(BlueSky Law)的監管。
根據美國1940年頒布的《投資公司法》的規定,在美國只能設立固定面額證券公司、單位信託投資公司和公開募股管理型公司。但是《證券法》中的D規則卻為私人合夥投資於證券市場設立了第506號「安全港」(Safe Harbor)條款,《證券法》的S規則則為外國人私人證券投資設立了「安全港」條款,這些條款規定符合一定條件的投資者可以不按《投資公司法》規定的三種方式設立合夥制的投資機構。這樣就為美國的私募基金提供了一種繞開金融監管的途徑。
美國的法律規定,投資於私募基金的投資者必須是「有資格的投資者」。所謂「有資格的投資者」是指,個人投資者必須擁有500萬美元以上的證券資產,並且最近兩年的年均收入高於20萬元,或包括配偶的收入高於30萬元;如以法人機構的名義進行投資,則機構的財產至少在100萬美元以上。在1996年9月1日之前,不多於100個「有資格購買者」設立的私募基金不必經過美國證券委員會(SEC)的批准,1996年9月1日後,根據美國的《國民證券市場改革法》(National Securities Markets Improvement Act)的規定,這一人數限制增至500人。同時,SEC允許私募基金吸納擁有2500萬美元以上的機構投資者加入。
私募基金一般由兩類合夥人組成。第一類稱一般合夥人(GeneraI Partner),相當於基金經理,指的是創設基金的個人或團體。一般合夥人處理私募基金的所有交易活動及日常管理。第二類是受限合夥人(Limited Partner)。受限合夥人提供大部分資金但不參與基金的投資活動。在籌劃設立私募基金時,一般合夥人通過與受限合夥人簽訂《合夥人協議》來規定雙方的權利與義務。《合夥人協議》是限制和規范私募基金內部關系的基本文件,一般包含以下一些內容:
1.基金的投資目標、策略和風險因素;
2.一般合夥人與受限合夥人的地位;
3.合夥人投資、增資、撤資的規定;
4.激勵薪酬的計算細節;
5.管理費用的使用與計算細節;
6.是否允許使用財務杠桿及比例限制;
7.財務年度末分紅的相關規定等等。
一般來說,《合夥人協議》對一般合夥人進行基金投資目標方面的限制比較泛泛,這樣基金經理就有足夠的靈活性進行投資操作,保證投資活動能夠順利進行。而關於一般合夥人與受限合夥人的地位及是否允許使用財務杠桿等內容則必須明確。投資者在加入私募基金時一般都要聘請律師參與《合夥人協議》的簽署過程,這樣能夠保證投資人簽署的協議與自己心中的目標相一致。
私募基金的一般合夥人在前期准備就緒後,就可以出售基金單位了,美國法律對私募基金出售的規定非常嚴格,不允許私募基金進行任何的廣告宣傳。投資者一般通過四種方式參與投資:(1)依據上流社會的所謂可靠信息;(2)直接認識某個基金的經理人員;(3)通過其他的基金轉入;(4)由投資銀行、證券中介公司或投資咨詢公司的特別介紹。一般合夥人向事先確定的每一個潛在的投資者送交私人募集的買賣契約文件(包括《合夥人協議》),向他們提供與有經驗的投資者進行面談的機會,或者提供投資咨詢。最後,與投資者簽署《合夥人協議》,吸納投資者的資金。這樣,一家私募基金便宣告成立。
運作特點
美國的私募基金在投資策略和運作方式上與共同基金有很大的不同之處,主要表現在以下幾個方面:
1.投資者主要是一些大的投資機構和一些富人。如前文所述,私募基金的合夥人要取得投資資格需要一定的條件,這些條件決定了只有富人才能參與私募基金。如索羅斯領導的量子基金的投資者都是超級大富翁,或者是金融寡頭、工業巨頭。量子基金的投資者不足100人,每個投資者的投資額至少100萬美元,多則1000萬美元。
2.一般是封閉式的合夥基金,不上市流通。在基金封閉期間,合夥投資人不能隨意抽資(或抽資前必須提前告知,提前時間從30日至3年不等)。基金的封閉期限一般為5年或10年。確定這一期限的根據是,經濟周期一般為4~5年,而基金的投資期限一般要大於一個經濟周期,因為只有這樣才能夠保證基金經理有充足的時間來運作基金。
3.黑箱操作,投資策略高度保密。根據美國的法律,私募基金無須像共同基金那樣,在監管機構登記、報告、披露信息。美國的監管當局認為私募基金的投資者成熟、理性,有足夠的能力對基金經理人的活動進行監管,證管部門和公眾都無需知道其運作情況。私募基金的經理人在與合夥人(投資者)簽訂的《合夥人協議》中一般要求極大的操作自由度,對投資組合和操作方式也不透露,外界很難獲得私募基金的系統性信息。
4.高度杠桿操作。私募基金的投資目的在於獲得高額利潤,但是基金自身的資金實力畢竟有限,因此,私募基金一般都大規模地運用財務杠桿(通過信用借貸的方式),擴大資金規模,突破基金自有資金不足的限制。一般情況下,基金運作的財務杠桿倍數為2~5倍,最高可達20倍,一旦出現緊急情況,私募基金的杠桿倍數會更高。如長期資本管理公司(LTMC)在運作期間,幾乎向世界上所有的大銀行融通過資金,使用的財務杠桿倍數極高。在1998年8月LTCM出現巨額虧損前夕,其杠桿比率高達56.8倍,並在此基礎上建立了1.25萬億美元的金融衍生交易倉盤,總杠桿比率高達568倍。在高度財務杠桿的作用下,如果基金經理預測准確,則基金能夠獲取最大限度的回報;一旦基金經理預測失誤,財務杠桿也會成倍地放大損失的數額。
5.主要投資於金融衍生市場,投機性強。私募基金的背後一般沒有實物資產支撐,專門在金融市場從事各種買空、賣空交易,並從中獲取高額的投資收益。盡管私募基金的投資方式不盡相同,但是私募基金大多僱用專業人士負責基金管理,採用精確的數量模型,對投資交易實行所謂的程序化投資決策管理。比如長期資本管理公司的合夥人中就有1997年諾貝爾經濟學獎獲得者默頓和斯克爾斯等人,並且僱用了一些大學里的博士弟子操盤,通過定價模型計算各種相關證券的價格差異,捕捉交易機會。
6.組織結構比較簡單。私募基金屬於合夥制企業,不設董事會,由一般合夥人負責基金的日常管理和投資決策。在美國,約1/4的私募基金總資產不超過1000萬美元,它們的運作像一個小作坊,通常是在僅有一兩個人的辦公室里工作。私募基金一般不設自己的研究機構,更多地依靠外部的研究信息資源。
7.採取與業績掛鉤的薪酬激勵機制。私募基金的經理除了能夠獲得基金資產的一定比例的固定管理費外,還可以提取一定比例的投資利潤作為獎勵。這一比例通常在5%~25%之間。這種激勵機制能夠吸引大批的有才華的高級專業人士加盟私募基金,並為私募基金創造出優良的業績。根據資料分析,1988~1994年,私募基金的年平均收益率高達18.5%,遠高於其他類型的投資收益,如同期的摩根斯坦利資本指數的投資收益是8.1%,萊曼兄弟綜合債券指數是8.6%。
8.操作手法多樣,更多地呈現全球化的特徵。私募基金經營機制靈活,沒有短期的利潤指標和確定的資金投向的限制,在投資工具、財務杠桿、投資策略等各個方面也沒有限制,這樣基金經理就能在范圍更廣的投資領域選擇投資戰略,以期獲取長期的高額利潤。私募基金一般運用「對沖」的操作手法,進行反周期交易,也就是說在證券價格下跌時買進,在價格上升時賣出。比如,相對價格債券套利基金(Relative Value Funds)通過從一些相關金融產品定價的微小差異中套利,從而保證在牛市、熊市中都能賺錢。
主要投資策略
經過幾十年的發展,美國私募基金的操作理論、投資策略早已超越了早期的簡單地利用股市買賣進行對沖操作的方式,現代的私募基金大量地涉足期權、期貨等投資領域,大膽地運用各種投資策略,操作手法多種多樣(詳見表1)。總的來說,美國私募基金的主要操作手段有以下幾種:
(1)運用期貨進行對沖盈利。期貨合同可以防止利率風險、市場風險和匯率風險,具體到期貨的種類又可分為利率期貨(長期、短期)對沖、遠期股指期貨合約對沖、貨幣期貨合約對沖等等。
(2)運用期權進行對沖操作,又可分為運用股指期權進行對沖、運用個別股票期權進行對沖、運用長期利率期權進行對沖。
(3)運用掉期交易進行對沖操作,包括利率掉期和貨幣掉期。
(4)運用資產組合保險業務(Portfolio Insurance)進行對沖。比如,在購買現有資產組合的買入期權的同時,從投資銀行或保險公司購買保單。
(5)綜合運用多種對沖手段進行操作。特別是20世紀90年代以後,美國的私募基金綜合運用各種手段,利用股市、匯市必然的聯動效應,對股價、匯率、利率進行攻擊,從中獲得最大限度的投資收益。
風險與監管
20世紀90年代以來,國際金融市場持續動盪,金融危機此起彼伏。在遍及全球的金融危機中,特別是在亞洲金融危機中,美國的私募基金(特別是以索羅斯的量子基金為代表的對沖基金)扮演了一種極不光彩的角色。但是,美國的私募基金並不是這場危機的最終受益者,許多私募基金在全球金融動盪中損失慘重。經過這次全球性的金融大動盪,暴露出美國的私募基金業存在的許多問題。其中最主要的問題是:私募基金經營風險過大,不利於金融市場的穩定。
