Debt Capital Markets
Capital structure planning begins with the debt-to-equity choice and proceeds to
examine debt and equity structuring opportunities including the fixed/floating
choice, the choice to issue convertibles or common equity. On the debt side, the
framework proceeds to consider the maturity choice and the currency sourcing choice.
