Capital Structure & Policy
Leverage, dividends & working capital.
Financing policy decides how the firm is funded and how cash returns to its owners. Leverage amplifies both sides of every outcome; capital structure balances the tax shield of debt against the cost of fragility; dividend policy turns surplus cash into shareholder returns; and working capital management keeps the daily engine running.
This track covers the decisions that define the firm’s risk profile and cash discipline — the choices markets watch most closely and punish most swiftly when they break.
