FINANCE 211: Corporate Finance: Applications, Techniques, and Models

This course will develop and apply the basic tools and models of corporate finance to real-world corporate decisions. This course is designed to be the second course in the standard finance sequence; that is, it is designed to be the natural follow-up to the Fall Finance course. This course will develop and extend standard tools and techniques of financial analysis, valuation, and model-building, and apply these methods to a wide range of cases. Case topics will include mergers and acquisitions, private equity, corporate governance, capital structure, agency conflicts, and corporate restructuring.

FINANCE 320: Debt Markets

This course is intended for those who plan careers that may involve debt financing for their businesses or other investments, or involve trading or investing in debt instruments and their derivatives, including money-market instruments, government bonds, repurchase agreements, interest-rate swaps, corporate bonds, structured credit products, and credit derivatives. We will emphasize the business rationales and institutional features of these markets, including structuring, issuing (corporate borrowing), trading, pricing, and hedging. The course includes a focus on distressed debt and restructuring. Most lectures will start with a cold-called student presentation of an un-graded short homework calculation. There will also be a series of graded homework, a take-home mid-term, and about 10 graded 'pop quizzes' of 5 minutes or less.

FINANCE 333: Financial Restructuring

Most GSB students will encounter distressed situations at various points during their careers, in their capacity as executives, business owners, investors, advisors, lenders, customers, suppliers, or competitors. Knowing how to handle these situations is a critical skill in business. Financial restructuring is the process by which distressed companies, and their key stakeholders, use in-court and out-of-court tools and methods to renegotiate their key contracts for the purpose of rehabilitation. In contrast with operational restructuring, financial restructuring focuses on resolving problems on the ¿right-hand side¿ of a company¿s balance sheet ¿ its debt and non-debt liabilities. This course provides an intensive overview of financial restructuring techniques and processes from the perspectives of distressed firms and their key stakeholders. It is intended for those who plan careers in general management, private equity and venture capital, entrepreneurship, credit and special situations investing, commercial and investment banking, turnaround management, or financial advisory services. While it is primarily a finance course, it incorporates interdisciplinary elements including negotiations, game theory, strategy, and business law. Enrolling students should be reasonably comfortable with financial analysis, valuation techniques, and basic financial modeling.
