Without Financial Intermediaries (FIs) With FIs
Low level of fund flows, due to:
- Information costs. Economies of scale Functions:
reduce the costs for FIs to screen and monitor - Brokerage function:
borrowers. This is too costly for one lender Acting as an agent for investors -> (1) reduce
alone. costs through economies of scale, (2)
- Less Liquidity encourages higher rate of savings.
- Substantial price risk
- Asset Transformer:
Purchase primary securities by selling financial
claims to households. (These secondary
securities are often more marketable & This is
a transformation of financial risk).
