Synopsis

Equities together with bonds form two of the largest asset classes. This course covers the capital structure of a company and how corporate actions may impact the value of securities such as the company’s shares. The two sources of return for equity investors are capital gains and dividends. We will see how the internal rate of return for equities has a parallel in the yield–to–maturity of a bond. Listed equities are traded on stock exchanges and products such as depository receipts and exchange traded funds help investors obtain convenient access to foreign listed equities and stock indices.
