2. Purpose of carrying out asset pool (bill pool) business
Through the pooling of valuable financial assets such as bank acceptance bills and structured deposits, we can effectively activate the company’s economic resources occupied by financial assets and realize the balanced management of income, risk and liquidity on the premise of keeping the configuration and proportion of financial assets unchanged.
Accounts receivable approved by the bank are pooled, which enables the company to convert relatively inactive accounts receivable into working capital and improve the profitability and solvency of the enterprise.
The company can use the existing financial assets in the asset pool (bill pool) as pledge and issue valuable bills such as commercial acceptance bills, bank acceptance bills and letters of credit that do not exceed the pledge amount to pay the supplier’s payment for goods and other operating expenses, which is conducive to reducing the occupation of monetary funds, improving the use efficiency of current assets and maximizing shareholders’ equity.
3. Risk and risk control of asset pool (bill pool) business
1) Liquidity risk
In order to carry out the asset pool (bill pool) business, the company needs to open a special margin account for asset pool pledge financing business in the cooperative bank as the entry account for the due collection of pledged bills and other financial assets under the asset pool (bill pool). The inconsistency between the maturity dates of financial assets such as notes receivable and notes payable will lead to the collection of funds into the company’s margin account, which will have a certain impact on the liquidity of the company’s funds.
Risk control measures: the company can eliminate this impact by replacing the margin with financial assets such as newly received notes, and try its best to prevent the occurrence of capital liquidity risk.
2) Guarantee risk
The company uses the bills and other financial assets entering the capital pool (bill pool) as pledge, and applies to the cooperative bank for issuing bank acceptance bills for external payment. With the maturity of the pledged assets, the company will gradually handle the collection and settlement. If the amount of the pledged guarantee is insufficient, the cooperative bank will require the company to add margin.
Risk control measures: the company will arrange special personnel to connect with cooperative banks, establish asset pool accounts, track and manage, timely understand the collection and payment of expired financial assets, arrange the company’s newly received bills and other financial assets into the pool, ensure sufficient amount of pledge, and try to control margin increase.
