Investment Management

Catalog description

For this course, students will study financial markets – principally equity markets – from an investment decision-making perspective. The course utilizes a set of conceptual frameworks and analytical tools, applying them to particular investments and investment strategies chosen from a fairly broad array of companies, securities, and institutional contexts. The focus will be on adding value across the spectrum of decisions ranging from position-taking in particular securities to portfolio risk management, as well as the delegation to and oversight of professional investment managers. Also, the course explores the competitive dynamics among investment organizations, products, and markets. Spanish language learners may complete this course in Spanish.
