What is investment banking? What is private equity? And what are hedge funds? More importantly, how are these three professions related and the role that each plays in today’s financial system.
We have three aims in Investment Banking, Private Equity and Hedge Funds. First, we introduce the investment banking, private equity and hedge fund professions. Who are the players? What is the industry structure? How are the economics driven? Second, we take finance concepts and apply them to excel spreadsheets. We learn basic spreadsheeting and consider valuation issues. Third, using case studies, we learn the art of doing the deal from origination to due diligence/execution to closing.
This course assumes a basic understanding of financial accounting and corporate finance. The course provides students with a snapshot of how finance practitioners apply the concepts of finance in everyday deal settings.
