Program Content

MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION
An introductory module to ensure that all participants have a solid foundation of knowledge. Our goal with this module is to provide an overview of the technical knowledge and data available at IE Business School.
MODULE 2: VALUATION
Training participants in the analysis of value creation, both from the perspective of financial projections and their discounting at reasonable rates and through the study of the most advanced methods for determining and quantifying the cost of capital (WACC). All of this is complemented by an analysis of the various methods for valuing companies, providing an in-depth breakdown of the possible processes, while recognizing that valuation depends largely on debt and its contribution to value creation.
MODULE 3: CAPITAL MARKETS
How capital markets operate across three categories: fixed income, equities and derivatives. In fixed income, the focus is on evaluating the cost of debt, bond valuation and the securitization and issuance of assets. In the equity market, we examine the different types of markets and the evolution of market players while evaluating investment options. In the derivatives market, we assess the use of hedging and speculative instruments in corporate finance.
MODULE 4: STRUCTURED FINANCE, REFINANCING AND PROJECT FINANCE
Analysis of the functioning and valuation of major corporate transactions, examining the main types of financing for different projects and understanding the value creation associated with each one. This entire valuation process will be coordinated with the legal, operational and financial planning and execution of mergers and acquisitions. Alongside these studies, highly leveraged transactions will also be analyzed.
MODULE 5: VENTURE CAPITAL
This module will focus on how venture capital works, evaluating everything from large funds to business angels, with an emphasis on advanced legal and financial concepts, examining contracts, taxation, and, ultimately, due diligence management.
