Overview
The global credit crisis will have one major impact on the cost of capital – the equity risk premium will be re-priced back to its long term average cost of 5–6% versus the 3% we have become accustomed to. This has massive implications for companies that have shifted the ratio of borrowing to equity on their balance sheets to have a higher quality cushion.
This Snapshot is designed to provide people with an insight on how to cope with the higher hurdles required to meet the investment markets. The Snapshot will also focus on working capital issues alone:
