Strategic Capital Management

At Deloitte, we often hear questions from CFOs and CEOs such as: How do I allocate capital to maximise returns? Will this investment increase enterprise value? How do I make trade-offs between different spending choices? Managing capital well requires an integrated approach that combines strategy, corporate finance, and operational excellence with data, technology, and capital market fluency. Our Strategy and Transactions team in Switzerland brings extensive experience helping companies to combine these capabilities to support their growth ambitions. 

The demands on capital are multifaceted, requiring consideration of strategic priorities, financial constraints, and stakeholder demands. An integrated approach to capital management can drive decision-making agility, superior investment choices, and competitive advantage, by focusing on:

• Capital Allocation: Ensure capital is optimally deployed to drive your business strategy and to generate healthy shareholder returns.
• Capital Budgeting: Drive rigour, accountability and value creation from capital investments at every stage of the capital budgeting lifecycle.
• Capital Structure: Maintain a resilient capital structure which minimises your cost of capital and ensures you have adequate funding capacity for growth.
• Cash Management: Enable your business to readily source and deploy capital across your group structure in a tax-efficient and compliant manner
• Working Capital: Release capital by optimising working capital and instil a cash mindset across the business to sustain benefits.
