Description

Explores techniques, models and industry practices used in the selection of securities for institutional equity portfolios. Both quantitative and fundamental analysis are covered. Considerable attention is paid to recent research, through published journal and working papers on the efficiency or otherwise of financial markets, and to anomalies that form the bases for quantitative stock election models. Students will develop skills in finding recent material not yet in standard text books, thus enhancing their ability to remain current throughout their professional careers. A changing selection of contemporary topics, such as advanced theories of risk, hedge funds, etc. may also be included.
