Investments

Subject:

The objective of this course is twofold. First, to introduce students to the most commonly used quantitative tools and fundamental financial concepts: optimal portfolio selection, the relationship between risk and return, and market efficiency. Second, to introduce students to important classes of financial assets and investment vehicles: fixed income, public equity, and mutual funds. This course is internationally oriented in that we consider and compare different financial markets (US, European, etc.) and adopt a global market perspective on several topics. The course is intended to provide you with both a lasting conceptual framework and, through the incorporation of real-world data, a greater understanding of how real life situations play out. Finally, in an effort to link theory to practice, most exercises assigned at the end of each session come from past CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) exams and three case-studies will be discussed at length.
