Course Description:
Investment decisions take a prominent role in everyday life and are regularly taken by individual households (additional pension savings, savings for children education, buying a house, etc.), and by institutional investors (banks and corporate firms, insurance companies, investment funds). By extending and deepening prior (undergraduate) Finance knowledge, this course, covers several areas of investments, including, Portfolio Theory and Asset Pricing, Portfolio Management, Risk Management, Security Valuation, and Derivatives. Throughout the course, students will not only learn theoretical concepts, but also apply the theory with real data in R. The course therefore builds on a combination of theory and empirics. Students will work on data assignments in which they can directly apply their newly acquired theoretical knowledge and experience the real-life issues associated with investing. The methods taught will also be helpful for analyses for bachelor and master theses.
