Capital Markets

2 credits · Owen Graduate School of Management

This course will explore capital markets from a practitioner’s perspective, reviewing essential rules and regulations but focusing on actual transactions. We will examine how the capital markets fulfill their essential role of providing capital to issuers, as well as offering investors a broad range of investment opportunities and providing greater tax efficiency. Case studies include global debt and equity offerings, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) – featuring guest lecturers who are actual participants in the transactions studied. Prerequisites: MSF students will be prepared for the Capital Markets through their required courses. For MBA students, Investments and Corporate Valuation are recommended preparation but are not required.[2]
