Maturity matching approach - It states that assets (permanent and temporary) should be financed with the financial instruments that have the same maturity period.

Moreover, under this approach, permanent current assets are financed through long-term debt, but temporary current assets are financed through short-term debt.

Aggressive approach - It states that temporary current assets as well as a reasonable part of fixed assets should be financed through short-term debt.

It is a highly risky policy because companies have insecurities regarding loan renewal and increasing interest rates.

Conservative approach - It states that all permanent current assets as well as a part of temporary current assets should be financed through long-term debt.

It is a risk-free policy because companies maintain high-level current assets and therefore a higher level of working capital.
Moreover, companies use short-term debt in case of high demand and thus, maintain those funds in short-term marketable securities.
