Dear Student,If you are interested in working for a consulting company/bank/insurance company you may find the following course offering useful.The course titled "Valuation" builds on a long cooperation with the Austrian insurance company, UNIQA.The aim of the course is two-folds:(1) it enables students to acquire knowledge about the most frequently used valuation techniques for non-financial firms;(2) it allows students to learn about valuation methods exclusively used for financial firms such as insurance companies.The course has a hands-on approach in that students are required to work on real business cases as part of the course assessment. In addition, UNIQA itself bring in a case. The presentation of that case, in front of two board members of UNIQA as well as several division managers, provide a professional life enriching experience for all the participating students. The course is especially designed for students who share the philosophy of "hard work-high achievement".Please find below the precise course description.I look forward to seeing you there,Gyongyi Loranth

We start with an in-depth analysis of the discounted cash flow method and its practical implementation. More specifically we will discuss various versions of discounted cash flow models, including the discounted free cash flow model, discounted capital cash flow model, and adjusted present value model. We will also discuss how various inputs required by those valuation models can be obtained from historical data. In particular we will discuss how to forecast future cash flows, calculate residual values and derive appropriate discount rates.
The relative valuation approach estimates the value of a firm by looking at the pricing of "comparable" firms relative to a common variable such as earnings, cash flows or book equities. We will discuss pros and cons of this popular valuation method.
The contingent claim valuation approach is a more sophisticated method that tries to quantify the impact of managerial flexibility on firm/project valuation. We will cover applications of the Black-Scholes formula, binomial option pricing model and Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate firms or investment projects that have option characteristics.
A guest lecture on valuation of insurance companies (they cannot be valued as non-financials given the different nature of their business) will be delivered by Rene Knapp who is Group Chief Actuary at UNIQA. A case study focused on the insurance industry will form an essential part of the course requirement.
The course provides you with a hands-on experience in valuation. Collaboration with the UNIQA might give you future access to internship and other appointments.
The course will be a mixture of lectures and case studies.
