Finance is the quantitative discipline that studies the management of money in organizations. Placed at a crossroads of management and economics, it is concerned with the optimization of returns and the minimization of risks. Professionals in finance look for optimal alternatives when managing work capital, structure financing strategies, evaluate short and long term investment opportunities, analyze performance and design organizations’ financial restructuring plans. When finance professionals focuse on the financial markets, they design investment portfolios, develop and manage investment strategies and structure new financial assets. In the banking world they turn towards the management of the capture and allocation of funds, acting under the existing law and being supported by qualitative tools to manage risk and maximize rentability.
