Corporate finance addresses how managers of companies make real investments, raise capital, control risks, and return money to investors. Topics of study can include cash flows, capital budgeting, capital structure and cost of capital, business valuation, mergers and acquisitions, risk management, as well as payout policies.
Capital markets examines how financial securities are priced by markets, and how to make decisions concerning investments in portfolios of different types of financial assets. Capital Markets should include the relation between risk and return, pricing of bonds, stocks and derivatives, term structure of interest rates, allocation of wealth among different types of securities, and institutional frictions that prevent attainment of optimal prices.
Career:
Almost every firm, government agency, and other type of organization employ one or more financial managers. Financial managers oversee the preparation of financial reports, direct investment activities, and implement cash management strategies. Managers also develop strategies and implement the long-term goals of their organization. The duties of financial managers vary with their specific titles, which include controller, treasurer or finance officer, credit manager, cash manager, risk and insurance manager, and manager of international banking. For most finance careers, you will need at least a bachelor's degree. If you would prefer to work in management, a master's in finance is highly recommended.
