FIN30510 Global Sustainable Finance

Academic Year 2024/2025

This subject is an introduction to modern global finance. As domestic and international companies become more sophisticated, it is essential to have an understanding of global financial systems. In recent times, political systems have become more uncertain around the world, resulting in increasingly volatile financial markets. Informed investors and financial managers can develop investment strategies that yield significant returns, even during times of macroeconomic uncertainty. In this module, topics covered include an overview of the global financial markets and the impact of news and “fake news”, tariffs and trade wars, financial analysis and planning, asset valuation, capital investment decisions, and portfolio analysis.
