Raising Capital and the Choices Firms Face
In week 2 we will explain the mechanics behind how firms go to the market via an initial public offering (IPO) to raise new equity capital. We then demonstrate the impact of introducing debt on the returns to shareholders and highlight the different factors that influence debt levels for firms operating in different industries. We conclude by considering how firms make decisions about the optimal level of profits that should be returned to shareholders.

Creating Value via Takeovers, Mergers and Corporate Restructuring
During week 3 we will explain how takeovers and mergers occur in practice, define the key terms used in the analysis of markets for corporate control and then develop an understanding of how changes in control might be objectively assessed via financial analysis. In addition to answering the question “how might we create wealth through growth?” we will also consider how value might be created by getting smaller in our review of the impact of corporate restructuring on shareholder wealth.

Beautifully designed course, absolutely loved it
The course is structured well to give in depth knowledge about derivatives and the process of mergers and acquisitions, which are the two major topic discussed in the course.
Stellar course and excellent content.
When I first took this course, I was a bit dubious of its content and manner of presentation, but my expectations were exceeded by a huge margin and I'm extremely pleased and happy as now I am a more fully-fledged person when it comes to some of the following aspects:
1- Derivatives including Forwards, Futures, and Options
2- Mergers and Acquisitions (including friendly and hostile ones)
3- Pecking Theory of Capital Structure and Debt Financing
4- Risk Management
5- IPO Process
6- Payoff Decisions
7- DCF analysis and techniques
The end project submission was one of my favourite parts and I spent a huge amount of time studying and reviewing every part of it along with the final 39 questions so that I can deepen my knowledge within those fields.
This course deserves nothing but the full grade and huge thanks to Sean Pinder and Paul Kauffman :)
Well designed and easy to understand!
