Dissertation topic

Hey monkeys,
 

I'm approaching my dissertation - an 80-page paper that concludes my Master of Finance programme. I work in IB and my interests/curriculum lies within the domain of corporate finance, valuation, modelling, investing, etc. I'm struggling to come up with a relevant and proprietary topic to address and would really appreciate it if anyone here had some juicy ideas or input to the longlist of areas below:

  • The market implications of retail investing (context: Surge of new retail investors during covid)

  • Value investing

  • ESG valuation 

  • Something related to rising inflation?

  • Corporate strategy and synergy/congl. valuation (context: GE split)

  • MRP

  • Startup valuation

  • Monte Carlo simulation and valuation


Cheers, 
Chopstickies
