The focus will be on adding value across the spectrum of decisions ranging from position-taking in particular securities to portfolio risk management, as well as the delegation to and oversight of professional investment managers. Also, the course explores the competitive dynamics among investment organizations, products, and markets. Spanish language learners may complete this course in Spanish.
