Shareholder Value and Telling a Great Investment Story (4 Hour Live Virtual Workshop)

Prerequisites: Capital Markets Essentials or equivalent knowledge

If you would like to understand what shareholder value really means; how companies go about creating it; and how to tell a compelling investment story, this course is for you.  We cover what value creation looks like from the shareholder’s perspective and management’s role in value creation. We cover key requirements such as growth and returns above cost of capital; we show you how this breaks down; and we link back to strategy and key performance indicators.  We finish by showing you how to tell a great investment story in twelve simple steps, using examples from companies that do it well.
