Customers → revenue → margins → cash flow → reinvestment → enterprise value.
Financial Capital
Equities, bonds, currencies, commodities and derivatives continuously price risk and opportunity.
Economic Capital
Banks, central banks, governments and global institutions influence the environment in which capital operates.
