Trainer: Helmi (click for profile)

Summary This is the fourth instalment of the valuation series following NVCM163 Fundamentals of Valuation, NVCM263 Cost Method of Valuation and NVCM263 Cost Method of Valuation. The income method of valuation is known as the most in-depth and complex of all the methods. We have broken up the income method of valuation into two parts. In this course, we explore the multiple facets of the discount rate. Participants will come to realise that deciding on the rate to apply in their valuation process requires a more holistic understanding of benchmark yields, corporate issuances, pricing models, monetary policy, and supply and demand dynamics in the capital markets. The upcoming NVCM293 Income Method of Valuation (Part 2) will look into applying the discount rate to the cash flows to complete the valuation computation, and cap off the series.

We look at the differences between the products and uncover the reasons for variations in the resulting valuations.
