The Financial Services Industry

Catalog description

The financial services industry touches all of our lives and has been going through a continuous transformation since the deregulation that began in the early 1970s. That evolution has accelerated in recent years as more and more pressure has been brought to bear by various stakeholders in the industry who have divergent goals and agendas. Those invested stakeholders include clients, investors, employees, regulators/politicians and the public at large. Overlaying all of this change has been rapid technological advancement that has had a direct impact on how the industry delivers its services, meets expected equity returns and manages the risk inherent in that delivery. This Course is an Advanced Finance Elective where THINKING not MEMORIZING is what it is all about.
