Understanding Financial Markets by the University of Geneva
This investment management course will teach you about the major financial markets, their features, and how they are related to the economy. Their diverse team of specialists will begin by teaching you how stock and bond prices are calculated and why they change, while also enhancing your understanding of risk and why it is important when evaluating an investment's performance.
The focus will next shift to less well-known markets including gold, developing markets, real estate, hedge funds, and private equity. These will be examined with a focus on their unique risks and return prospects, as well as how they might assist in the development of effective portfolios. Finally, you will learn about central bank policies and how they affect financial markets, as well as the relationship between the economy and the price of financial assets. Throughout these steps, specialists from UBS, corporate partner, will demonstrate how the concepts you have learned are put into practice at a prominent worldwide bank. This focus on practicality means you will not only understand what is going on in global financial markets but also start to figure out how you can use them to achieve financial goals, be it a client's or your own.
