Required:

Select a SINGLE company that is listed on the Hang Seng Index and prepare a report for the Board of Directors of Supergrowth Investment PLC analysing and evaluating the five- year performance of the chosen company.

In this section students should demonstrate both knowledge and understanding of a range of topics, theories, and concepts covered within the UGB363 Strategic Corporate Finance module. A report format should be utilized that offers clear, concise analysis, resulting in the production of robust recommendations.

Topics and concepts that can be considered for inclusion within the report include corporate governance policy, financing strategy, investment strategy, ratio analysis and interpretation, capital structure alterations, dividend policy, and merger and acquisition activity. This is not an exhaustive list and students should be prepared to investigate other key aspects from the module if they feel necessary.
