Finance & Investment

Evaluating an investment

The case rests on assumptions that are plausible individually and have never been listed together.

What this decision usually turns on

  • Assumptions the case depends on
  • Sensitivity to the weakest assumption
  • Time to return
  • Concentration risk
  • Alternative uses of the same capital

These are a starting point. The first thing Phronexia does is help you decide which of them actually matter here, and what weight each one carries.

Who should be in it

  • Finance lead
