Overview

Sovereign Wealth Fund Corporate Finance and Investment Course is a ten-day advanced course for sovereign wealth fund investment professionals, corporate finance teams, portfolio strategists, governance specialists, and transaction reviewers. Participants connect fund mandate and owner objectives with capital allocation, valuation, investment appraisal, capital structure, transaction review, portfolio-company value creation, stewardship, risk, performance, and investment-committee evidence. They leave with a Sovereign Investment Decision Book.
