Hi Henry,   A min of 3y to 5 y but if the company has longer record, then 10y will be even better.

thank you for the reply Rusmin! I have attached a screenshot of wilmar\'s cashflow for 2021. On the topic of capital return vs capital raised, do i need to consider the amount under \"loan and borrowings\"? Because i was quite surprised that wilmar has such a huge difference from 2021 (right column) to 2022 (left column). what are the other items i should consider as they have quite a few items compared to the example of Enron you guys shared in the video? TIA!

Hi Henry,   There is no need to include loan and borrowings. Wilmar usually use loans for trade financing which is generally short-term. I will include share buyback and dividends under Capital Returned while proceeds from issuance of shares as Capital Raised. We can ignore the raise.
