International Cost of Capital

When performing valuations for a multinational company or a client company located overseas, allowances must be made for the risk characteristics of the geographic regions from which the business derives cash flows.

Join us for a dynamic webinar covering the following topics: 

* Various perspectives an analyst can take in conducting the valuation 
* Appropriate currency and cost of capital used in discounting cash flow 
* Currency risk 
* Country political and economic risks affecting the discount rate 
* Adjustments made to the CAPM to account for risk differences between developing and developed markets, in the context of four commonly applied equity discount rate models.

The webinar will also include examples of the derivation of discount rates in eastern European countries.
