The next best alternative cost<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We must have been familiar with the concept of opportunity cost which is otherwise known as alternative cost. Any expenditure decision will have an opportunity cost associated with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if you had a budget of Rs 10,00,000 to purchase a piece of land and the options you had in hand are to either purchase a land in developing city that has a growth in 2 years or a rural area where it was likely to grow in 10 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You make a decision to buy land in a rural area. In this case, the gains that could have been received by purchasing land in the developing city were more than in the rural area. The gains that could have been made is opportunity cost which arose due to having a limited budget and the decision to choose a rural area over a developing city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In that sense, the opportunity cost of having Rs 10 invested now is more valuable than Rs 10 in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_concept_of_a_bird_in_the_hand_theory\"><\/span><strong>2. The concept of a bird in the hand theory\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bird in the hand theory conveys that the investor in general tends towards certainty over predictability. Meaning, if you are invested in a bond, you\u2019d prefer gaining dividends than relying on the possible capital gains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, the value of growing money in a year is more reliable than having to rely on the possibility of the money to have grown exponentially in 10 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_fact_about_inflation_and_depreciation\"><\/span><strong>3.

It implies that the value of the sum of money will lose its value in the future if the value of the money appreciates due to inflation. So, having a sum of money in the future is worthless when it could have been invested in the present.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are all the possible reasons why the time value of money makes absolute sense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Scenarios\"><\/span><strong>The Scenarios:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_decline_in_the_value_of_money\"><\/span><strong>The decline in the value of money<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been several decades since the inherent fluctuation of the value of money has been under observation. During the economic boom created by the strategies employed at the NYSE, companies, and organizations larger than ever have been taken off the hook even though having engaged in unethical monetary policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just before the shift to the digital paradigm, the value of <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/sovereign-gold-bond\/sovereign-gold-bond-vs-gold-etf\/\">gold<\/a> has been a rollercoaster. There have been times when gold value shot to its highest ever and times amidst recessions when the value was at its lowest; literally off the cliff!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you witness this trend, it is only evident that the monetization systems that are globally agreed upon and employed, are just large-scale economic experiments wherein the global production capacity has ballooned but at the cost of increased global debt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such a scenario is definitely imminent and must be a constant concern in the minds of economists and governments that deal with enforcing future financial policies. <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/market-view\/investment-strategies-in-the-bond-market\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_Green_Bonds\">Smart investment<\/a> decisions also hinge on being able to follow the global economic trends; if you\u2019re thinking why would following news on war happening at a totally different part of the world matter; get into the mindset of an economist and understand the fundamental reasons as to why certain industries, generally taken for granted under normal circumstances, will fall in value. Don\u2019t you think that\u2019s creating a working investment portfolio at a great discount?<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Corporate_Fixed_Deposit\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/essentials\/what-is-corporate-fixed-deposit\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_Time_Value\"><strong>What is Corporate Fixed Deposit?<\/strong><\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_rise_in_the_value_of_money\"><\/span><strong>The rise in the value of money<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a pretty standard situation where forex rates witness constant vibrations induced by various global trends and market behavior. Due to the use of the SWIFT banking system; which has been the norm for inter-government transactions for a few decades now, the constant currency values as well as the performance of the industry behavior at large, impact the true money value rapidly. Increased industry performance and reduction in the overall debt by listed companies in the national indices, generally reduce the value of all the goods in general. The decreased economic burden on the markets and increased monetary liquidity ensure sufficient movement of national capital within the society which has an overall effect of the increased value of money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s a load of technical jargon but what is the point of it all?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decreased value of all economic investment mediums implies increased holdings capacity from a general investor point of view. Your saved-up investment capital could be worth more and hold a bigger chunk of the market compared to the pre-market correction phase. Identifying the general trend of decreased value of companies can be a sign that existing investors must pour more funds into their loss-making portfolio to generate higher returns after the market correction phase when the values reach their regular levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_look_at_the_time_value_of_money\"><\/span><strong>Why look at the time value of money?\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tradable assets generally are meant to reserve the existing and accepted value of that particular asset. However, due to the varying interest rates across the global banking sector, the behavior of bonds is affected. The time value of money is an apt example that takes the role of a value fluctuator.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though investors feel confident trading debt instruments, whether public or private, the factor of safety that any bond investor should feel is pretty high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The value during bond issue is calculated to the exact requirement at par during the face value, however, the actual value post raising the <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bond capital<\/a>, many external factors play a role in the settlement of the price to a certain value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For any normal investors among us, the government-issued trust indicators play a vital role in the confidence levels felt by the lender; the bondholder, in this case, assessing the credit quality, being aware of industry-specific news, and predicting the trends in the value of money by simple educated assessments is of primal importance and should not be taken lightly; as being a confident investor demands such knowledge and comprehension.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Investment_Strategies_in_the_Bond_Market\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/essentials\/investment-strategies-in-the-bond-market\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_Time_Value\"><strong>Investment Strategies in the Bond Market<\/strong><\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time has passed from bartering to digital currency, does the introduction of the concept of money hold value, or is it hypothetically&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":12002,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[151],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-financial-matters"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Time Value of the Money in the Present &amp;
