Program Overview

Description

Finance as a discipline is forward-focused. It is largely about future planning for firms or investors. Finance consists of three interrelated subject areas: Corporate finance studies how firms raise and efficiently utilise funds obtained from lenders and shareholders. Financial markets and institutions explores how the financial system facilitates the transfer of funds from savers and lenders to borrowers. Investment analysis studies how investors choose securities and asset classes for their investment portfolios. All of these areas assess the trade-off between risk and reward and the valuation of both financial and capital assets.
