Retained interest also colloquially known as a payout penalty is future, currently unpaid, interest that some lenders add to the remaining Debt principal of a loan to determine a payout figure in the event that the loan is terminated before the completion of the original Time term . When two parties enter into a loan agreement, the amount of interest payable over the term of the loan is calculated and then amortized across the loan repayments. Thus, each repayment can be considered to include two parts one part repaying some of the principal of the loan, and the other paying interest. In the situation that a loan is terminated early, a portion of the interest originally calculated for that loan has not yet been paid, as this interest would have been included in the interest portion of future repayments that are no longer going to be made. Some lenders recover retain some or all of this interest by adding it to the remaining principal of the loan when calculating a payout figure. This portion of the future interest included in the early payout figure for a loan is known as retained interest.

Refimprove date June 2007 A fixed interest rate loan is a loan where the interest rate doesn t fluctuate during the fixed rate period of the loan. This allows the borrower to accurately predict their future payments. Variable rate loans, by contrast, are anchored to the prevailing discount rate . A fixed interest rate is based on the lender s assumptions about the average discount rate over the fixed rate period. For example, when the discount rate is historically low, fixed rates are normally higher than variable rates because interest rates are more likely to rise during the fixed rate period. Conversely, when interest rates are historically high, lenders normally offer a discount to borrowers to fix their interest rate over time, as rates are more likely to fall during the fixed rate period. Some fixed interest loans particularly mortgages intended for the use of people with previous adverse credit have an extended overhang , that is to say that once the initial fixed rate period is over, the person taking out the loan is tied into it for a further extended period at a higher interest rate before they are able to redeem it.

Merge to Conflict of interest date January 2011 Unreferenced date January 2007 In UK local authority politics, the term prejudicial interest is used to describe a particular type of conflict of interest involving councillors. When a councillor has an interest in a topic under debate that may affect their ability to fairly and objectively consider the subject, he or she is said to have a prejudicial interest. An example would be a councillor discussing a planning application for a company in which he or she has an interest. The councillor has an interest in the plans being approved and is therefore considered to have a prejudicial interest . The Standards Board for England is the body responsible for investigating allegations of undeclared prejudicial interests. It is the responsibility of the councillor to declare their interest prior to discussions or votes and, once declared, they must leave the room for the duration of the discussion or vote. Anyone can make an allegation of an undeclared prejudicial interest although the Standards Board for England can only investigate reactively rather than proactively ie. they cannot intervene to stop an offence from taking place, only investigate the offence once it has taken place. Councillors and members of other local authorities in England are governed by a Code of Practice which is enforced by the Standards Board for England . In Scotland, the Standards Commission for Scotland carries out a similar function but also regulates members of devolved bodies. In Wales, it is the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales that carries out the equivalent function. DEFAULTSORT Prejudicial Interest Category Local government ... more details

Overreaching Interest is a term in English land law . Overreaching can only exist where a trust law trust is in existence and a property is sold.It occurs when the purchaser paid to at least two trustees in monies. The occupiers of a property in such a situation cannot then claim that their occupation of the property is an overriding interest , as the joint trustees have brought that occupation to a close through the sale of the property. By purchasing the property from trustees, under Section 2 of the Law of Property Act 1925 ref UK LEG type ukpga title Law of Property Act 1925 path http www.legislation.gov.uk ukpga Geo5 15 16 20 section 2 ref , the occupation rights of any other party are automatically extinguished. If such a party claims an overriding interest in the land, that interest is converted by attaching a monetary interest to the land eg a purchase price, and the interest claimed by the party is overreached , this conversion is often referred to as the doctrine of Equitable conversion . If only one owner exists, then there is a risk that a third party could claim occupation, and overreaching cannot apply. The issues of overreaching and overriding interests are often closely linked, and the case of Birmingham Midshires v Sabherwal ref 2000 80 P. & C.R. 256 ref examined both issues.

Unreferenced date February 2009 accounting Controlling interest in a corporation means to have control of a large enough block of voting stock shares in a company such that no one stock holder or coalition of stock holders can successfully oppose a motion. In theory this normally means that controlling interest would be 50 of the voting shares plus one. In practice, though, controlling interest can be far less than that, as it is rare that 100 of a company s voting shareholders actively vote. Additionally, a company that requires a 2 3 super majority of shares to vote in favor of a motion can grant, in effect, veto power to a minority shareholder or block of shareholders that own 1 3 of the shares. Thus in some cases a single entity can essentially maintain control with only 33.4 of the outstanding shares. Ford Motor Company s former 33.9 ownership of Mazda North American Operations is an example of a controlling interest with minority shareholding that was granted by Mazda.
