Catalog description

This course will focus on the fundamental principles of risk and return, as they relate to equities and portfolios. Students will learn about financial decision-making from the perspective of an investor and/or a portfolio manager. We will start with a rigorous development of modern portfolio theory and how it leads to the development of both the Capital Asset Pricing Model and some multifactor pricing models. From there, we will study a variety of topics such as Market Indexes, Professional Asset Management, and Market Efficiency.
