About the Training Session:

Time value of money is the concept that a pound today is worth more than a pound in the future due to its potential to earn interest. This principle is influenced by factors like interest rates, inflation, and risk. Understanding TVM is crucial for making informed financial decisions, such as investments, loan repayments, retirement planning, and project evaluations. By considering the time value of money, individuals and businesses can make better choices that maximize their financial returns.

This is for fresh graduates or those with very little experience in finance to learn a skill that is taught in our MSc Financial Management Programme.
