FIN42080 Investment Management (Mod)

Academic Year 2023/2024

Students are taught a wide ranging course with the aim of explaining the principle types of financial securities, namely, equities, bonds, and derivative products. The operations of the markets on which they operate are also outlined. In addition, portfolio theory is presented as an alternative to dealing with investments in individual securities. This involves obtaining an understanding of the characteristics of portfolios and how investors can manipulate them. Applications of portfolio theory are outlined in conjunction with the equilibrium asset pricing models, the CAPM and APT. Evaluation of the investment process is discussed constantly throughout the course.
