Approaches to determine appropriate financing mix
Hedging approach
- The maturity of these funds matches the maturity of the different types of assets.
Conservative approach

- The risk is lower, higher cost of long-term finance leads to reduced profitability
- Overcapitalization

- Increased risk of cash shortfall,
- Overtrading
