Where are the guarantees of interbank fund for investor protection
Not all investment relationships namely the protection of the interest.
In this article we examine what guarantees are available for those who have invested their money in accounts cointestati, bond, Poste, ready / run.
Not only are bank deposits appeared to be protected by interbank fund.
Given that deposits are protected up to 103,000 euros thanks to the interbank guarantee, we want to know what happens, however, investments made at the counter, such as repurchase agreements, or investment in securities and in bonds? And in the case of postal products, what happens?
Here is explain all the protections provided by law.
In case of multiple accounts and accounts cointestati: The guarantee fund provides for the protection of 103,291.38 euros per depositor. That means that if you have several accounts in one institution for the implementation of the level of coverage is to combine the various deposits accounts, and the sum assured is equal to 103 thousand euros and expected nothing more. In the case of accounts cointestati Instead, each of the agents are entitled to reimbursement of up to 103,291.38 euros. For the purposes of calculating the regulatory Directive 94/19/EC, under which a joint account to be considered divided in equal proportions among depositors, unless specific provisions. If, however, the accounts are the same person in different banks, each worth the limit of 103 thousand euros in the manner described above.
Investment in securities and assets of the bank: As regards the investments at the counter there is no automatic guarantee provided by the credit. The various titles dossier does not flow into the assets of the bank which means that in the event of liquidation, remains separate from the investments made. So who bought Bot or any other evidence of the state, as well as those who have subscribed to shares or bonds of other companies, will always remain the owner of the securities purchased and thus will not have anything to fear. Its portfolio securities, in essence, will not suffer any repercussions on the performance of the bank accounts, as the bank is only by "parking" but can not in any way handle titles that are not yours.
Investments in bonds and the failure of the bank: Looking at your file titles, therefore, we must consider only the risk of the issuer of the securities themselves. In the case of bonds, which are evidence of debt repayment with capital guaranteed, the owners, against the failure of the company, have the right to participate with other creditors, the distribution of the proceeds arising from the sale of the company's business . So if the bonds were subscribed issued by credit to the strength of that we need to look okay. If you are inspired by other broadcasters, we should monitor the company knowing that in case of bankruptcy of the bank will remain the owners of those shares.
No guarantee on Swaps: A totally different case, however, is that investment in repurchase agreements. With this type of operation, in fact, lend money to the bank in exchange for a guarantee that puts the securities it holds. Who subscribes to purchase a package of securities "spot" that the bank undertakes to buy back "out" at a higher price. In this case the risk does not reside in the value or type of securities on which the transaction takes place, since the bank guarantees to buy back at a time and to set whatever value the performance of the market and hence its value at that particular time, but rather in the position of the bank. In fact - as indeed should be in all contracts of this type - the operations of repurchase agreements are not among the forms of collection covered by the guarantee of the interbank. Consequently, if the bank fails the money invested is lost forever. It is also possible to obtain early repayment of the sums invested in the PCT only if it is expressly stated in the purchase contract. We must not, therefore, to assess what is the number of securities involved in the transaction but rather the health of the credit institution to determine whether the investment may or may not be considered safe.
Good post I fully guaranteed by the state and therefore fully protected from any disturbance of the market. It 'true that Bancoposta not accede to the interbank guarantee, but only because all postal products such as vouchers are guaranteed by the state. The same applies, of course, for deposits: Poste spa, in fact, is a public company controlled by the Ministry of Economy.
