Corporate Finance and Investment

Corporate Finance and Investment focuses on how organizations make strategic financial decisions to maximize value while managing risk. It examines the principles and tools used by firms to allocate capital efficiently, evaluate investment opportunities, and structure financing in a way that supports long-term growth. The subject introduces learners to core financial concepts such as time value of money, capital budgeting, cost of capital, and financial statement analysis, providing a strong foundation for decision-making in business environments.

A key component of corporate finance is investment analysis, where students learn to assess the feasibility and profitability of projects using quantitative techniques like net present value, internal rate of return, and payback analysis. The discipline also explores portfolio management, risk–return trade-offs, diversification strategies, and market behavior, enabling informed investment decisions. Emphasis is placed on understanding how financial markets operate and how corporate strategies align with investor expectations.
