Dhamana za Serikali za muda mfupi na hisa za gawio: vyanzo viwili tofauti vya mapato
Dhamana za Serikali za muda mfupi (Treasury bills) na hisa zinazoweza kulipa gawio ni vyombo tofauti. Kimoja ni deni la Serikali lenye muda maalumu; kingine ni umiliki katika kampuni. Ulinganisho mzuri huanza na utaratibu wa kila chombo, si ahadi ya mapato.
Dhamana za Serikali za muda mfupi hutolewa kwa siku 91, 182 au 364 na huuzwa kwa mnada. Bei ya ununuzi na thamani inayolipwa dhamana inapokomaa ndizo huamua mavuno. Matokeo ya mnada yanaeleza rekodi iliyochapishwa; hayahakikishi bei ambayo mwekezaji angepata akiihamisha kabla ya kukomaa.
Gawio la hisa ni sehemu ya faida ambayo kampuni inaweza kuamua kulipa kwa wanahisa. Halijahakikishwa: hutegemea matokeo ya kampuni na uamuzi wa bodi. Bei ya hisa pia inaweza kupanda au kushuka, kwa hiyo gawio na mabadiliko ya bei vinapaswa kusomwa tofauti.
Tofauti muhimu ni wajibu wa mtoa dhamana, muda, ukwasi na namna mapato yanavyotokana na kila chombo. Takwimu hizi zinaeleza sifa za vyombo; hazimchagulii msomaji chombo cha kununua.
