Abstract: This paper discusses approaches for developing a capital structure optimisation strategy to maximise the market value of a company and enhance its financial sustainability. The weighted average cost of capital minimisation method was chosen to evaluate the capital formation strategies of the three largest Russian oil and gas companies which play a pivotal role in the Russian economy. After developing an optimal ratio of debt-to-equity for these three firms, practical recommendations are proposed on achieving an optimal mix of capital structure strategy. The study arrives at three different capital structure strategies for these three companies based on the utilised model.
