Debt Capital Markets for MidCaps

The aim of this two-day workshop is to increase the participants' understanding of how Debt Capital Market (DCM) products are used within a company's capital structure and become familiar with the suitability of a borrower to different capital market funding instruments as alternatives to traditional bank finance. The workshop aims to enable participants to interact more effectively with their clients, with a view to uncovering new business opportunities. The workshop is highly interactive; exercises and case studies will be used to allow participants to practise key concepts learnt. Specifically the purpose of the training is to equip participants to:

• Understand the main features of public and private debt capital market instruments: market practice, investor requirements, rating and price implications
• Identify suitable issuers by understanding the purpose of capital markets funding in an entity's capital structure and the required credit profile of potential issuers
• Assess the key commercial, financial and structural benefits and drawbacks from an issuer's and an investor's perspective of issuing or investing in a bond versus other forms of capital (e.g. bank debt, private placement, Schuldschein loans, mezzanine, convertible bonds, hybrid instruments)
• Discuss the appropriateness of the use of Debt Capital Markets products with clients including any potential concerns a company treasurer might have.
