RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI) IS MORE THAN A PERCENTAGE.
IT IS A CAPITAL ALLOCATION DECISION.
For promoters, investors and lenders, the key question is not simply:
โHow much profit will this investment generate?โ
It is:
โIs the return adequate for the capital, risk and time involved?โ
An Investment-Banking ROI Framework
1๏ธโฃ Capital Invested
How much capital is required โ equity, debt or a combination?
2๏ธโฃ Cash Returns
What cash flows will the investment generate over its life?
3๏ธโฃ Profitability
Assess EBITDA, PAT, cash generation and margin sustainability.
4๏ธโฃ Risk-Adjusted Return
A higher return is not necessarily better if it comes with disproportionately higher risk.
5๏ธโฃ Time Value of Money
Evaluate IRR / XIRR, not just absolute profit.
6๏ธโฃ Exit & Value Creation
Consider valuation growth, exit multiple, strategic value and potential capital appreciation.
Investor Lens
ROI = Return Generated รท Capital Invested
But sophisticated capital decisions go further:
ROI + IRR + Cash Flow + Risk + Exit Value = Investment Decision
At XYZ Arrow, we help businesses and investors evaluate capital requirements, structure funding and assess opportunities through a financial and investment-banking lens.
Capital should not only be deployed.
It should be deployed intelligently.
