FOREIGN CAPITAL SEEKING U.S. INVESTMENTS

International capital flowing into U.S.  stock markets has exploded over the past two decades. The international private equity and institutional capital markets move vast sums of money into the United States on a regular basis. Some of this money is speculative "hot money," but most of these funds enter the country as direct investments into publicly held companies. And those types of investments can create unique opportunities for the management of such companies. 

The United States is the world's number one recipient of direct foreign investment

In this economic environment, companies need to be creative when structuring a capital raise, but they also need to manage risk and carefully decide which type of securities are most advantageous for them to "go to market" with, in order to shore up their financial needs. Investments from international funds typically come in the form of convertible debt, equity, or a combination of both. 

Before a company goes to market, they need to define their realistic strategies for growth, investment needs and use of proceeds dialogue. Preparing a corporate profile and an executive summary for the business, which would be used in discussions with prospective candidates, is paramount to the program's success. It’s important to create documents that are easy to transmit and attract initial interest from potential investors. 

Identifying and contacting prospective investors or investment partners can be a daunting task, which often requires outside assistance from an experienced advisor or professional consultant. These professional service providers can assist in the creation of documents, the prospecting program and in advising the client on the structure of a potential transaction.

And it can do all this at the same weight as a standard Enhanced Small Arms Protective Plate, but in a more flexible and comfortable package, developer Allan Bain claims. 

Bain, who body armor experts agree was a founding father -- with Dragon Skin maker Murray Neal -- of the so-called "scalar" armor concept, has developed a new way to forge the ceramic that goes into the bullet-blocking plates, giving it greater density and the ability to be bent into odd shapes.

Sovereign Wealth Funds On The Prowl: Rapidly emerging and secretive Sovereign Wealth Funds hold an immense amount of cash and most Americans are not aware of their existence. Sovereign Wealth Funds are assets of a country that are held by its government for purposes of investment. 

The current estimate is that the Sovereign Wealth Funds currently hold over $5.5 Trillion in investments and they are expected to reach $14 Trillion by 2015. The huge American Trade Deficit feeds them $70 Billion U.S. dollars monthly. They can also convert their U.S. bonds to stock by not reinvesting in bonds when they mature. The rapid rise in the Sovereign Wealth Funds dramatizes the shift in world economic power away from the United States, the greatest debtor nation on earth, to the increasingly powerful group of creditor nations.
