Fundamentals of Investment Management
Fundamentals of Investment Management
The course starts by placing the professional investment management role within the broader financial services industry. Key clients are discussed and the services they require from investment management firms are isolated. The process of investment management is studied using a case study before the course turns to the asset classes and instrument that are used to construct investment portfolios. Risk and return, along with common industry measures of each, are the final technical topic of the day. During the final session, participants experience the role of the investment management professional during a simulation, where they invest client money against a backdrop of a changing macroeconomic climate.
