Course Overview
Deciding Where to Put Money
Choosing the Best Projects
- You will learn how to pick which big projects to fund. This means comparing the costs today against the money the project will make in the future.
- You will learn to calculate the 'Internal Rate of Return.' This is a way to see the percentage of profit a project is expected to generate over its entire life.
- You will study 'Net Present Value.' This is a way to adjust future earnings to what they are worth right now, because money you have today is worth more than money you get later.
Balancing Risk and Reward
- You will learn how to measure if a project is too risky. This involves looking at the chance of delays, cost overruns, or lower-than-expected use.
- You will practice 'Sensitivity Analysis.' This is where you change one variable, like the cost of materials or the number of people using a toll road, to see how it changes the project's success.
How to Pay for Big Infrastructure
Sources of Cash
- You will learn about 'Equity Financing.' This is when investors put their own money into a project to get a piece of the ownership.
- You will learn about 'Debt Financing.' This is borrowing money from banks or through bonds. Bonds are like an IOU note where you pay back the loan over a long time with interest.
- You will study 'Mezzanine Financing.' This is a mix of debt and equity. It is a loan that can turn into ownership if the project does not pay back the money on time.
Project Finance Structures
- You will learn how to build a 'Special Purpose Vehicle.' This is a separate company created just to run one specific project. It keeps the project's risks away from the main company's other business.
- You will learn about 'Non-Recourse Debt.' This means that if the project fails, the bank can only take the money from the project itself, not from the company that started it.
Managing the Money Over Time
Cash Flow Management
- You will learn how to map out exactly when money goes out for construction and when money comes in from customers.
- You will learn about 'Debt Service Coverage Ratios.' This is a math formula to make sure the project makes enough profit each year to pay the bank its interest and loan payments.
Public and Private Partnerships
- You will learn how governments and private companies work together to build things like bridges or airports.
- You will learn about 'Concession Agreements.' These are long-term contracts where the government lets a private company build and run a public project for a set number of years to earn back their investment.
- You will study how to handle 'Political Risk.' This is the danger that a government might change laws or cancel a contract, which could cause you to lose your investment.
