Description: Financial strategy is a broad area that encompasses many potential decisions. One such decision for a firm that is going to undertake a project is whether to structure it so that it is "inside the firm" or alternatively to set it up as a separate entity. The latter case is called "project finance" and is the subject of our course. We shall study the pros and cons of project finance and understand the various ways in which a project finance structure can potentially create value for the firm's shareholders and thereby enable the undertaking of some projects that would otherwise not be feasible.
