The course consists of two parts: the first part is theory-based lecturing on the basic principles of Investments, which will include introduction to investment theory, practical applications, and the review of case studies, and the second part consists of a portfolio simulation exercise in which students professionally manage different asset classes based on principles learned in the lectures.

While some level of quantitative rigor will be introduced, the emphasis of the course will be on the “real world”. The primary objective of the course is to help senior students learn the fundamentals of modern investment theory via lectures, presentations, discussions, case studies and portfolio management simulation. Students with interest in pursuing Chartered Financial Accountant (CFA) certification later in their careers will find this course as an introduction to the topic.

Portfolio Management Simulation-This part of the course will expose the students to the investment alternatives available on a global basis and to the practice of investments and portfolio management. The portfolio management simulation will give chance the students to apply the theoretical concepts of portfolio management process, implications of efficient capital markets for investments, and different evaluation methods of portfolio performance. The simulation will closely match and integrate investment practice in a global investment setting with the investment theory studied throughout the respective course. The students will be encouraged to apply both the fundamental and technical analyses.
