Financial managers face three types of key decisions: what investments should be made, how investments should be financed and what dividend policy should a firm take. This subject will develop a framework for analysing a firm’s investment, financing and dividend policy decisions, providing concepts and analytical tools that are based on the fundamental principles of modern financial theory.

You will examine financial markets and the key financial tools used in managing organisations. You will investigate financial mathematic techniques, the valuation of debt and equity securities, corporate capital budgeting, risk and diversification, efficient market hypothesis, weighted average cost of capital, capital structure theory and dividend policy
