Overview
Discounted cash flow (DCF) is a valuation model used by investors and advisors to give the present value of an asset where the forecasted cash flow of the asset is discounted back to the valuation date. An explicit discounted cash flow model uses predicted input changes, such as growth, costs and required discount rates.
Globally, markets and industries use explicit DCF models in different ways. It is quite common for investors and their advisors to use DCF to calculate the worth of an asset to them.
Web class format
This is an online three part series, where you will have plenty of opportunity to put your knowledge into practice through discussion and examples.
