How should institutional investors invest their clients’ money? Should you hedge currency risk? What is the effect of high frequency trading on financial markets? Asset management studies how individual and institutional investors spread their savings across portfolios of assets. You will learn how to incorporate investment risk and return, as well as a broader promotion of sustainability, into financial decisions. You will also learn about the microstructure of financial markets and how it affects prices, and about theories of pricing of derivative securities.
