About the programme
Private markets are a fast-growing area of finance and an important asset class in investor portfolios.
Corporate buyers look for ways to add new technologies and products to their platforms through acquisitions of mature companies and startups. Buyout and venture capital managers are actively looking for ways to deploy capital. Increasing investor allocations fuel the expansion of private credit, infrastructure and real estate. Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) and impact investing are top of mind for many institutions.
These dynamics lead to an increased activity in private markets. Professionals who want to remain fluent in financial markets need to sharpen their valuation toolkit and stay up-to-date on current trends. This in turn, will allow them to take full advantage of the plethora of opportunities in private assets.
On this programme you will gain hands-on valuation experience across:
- Early-stage companies
- Mature companies
- Private credit
- Infrastructure
- Real estate
- Emerging markets
- ESG and impact investing
