FIN4015S Portfolio & Risk Management

Academic Year 2021/2022

This module examines financial risk management and portfolio allocation related topics. It is assumed that students have an understanding of asset pricing nad portfolio theory, allowing this module to concentrate on the financial risk management process and asset allocation. Increasingly it is hard to separate traditional institutional portfolio management from more active strategies and risk management, therefore, a large amount of material takes the perspective of relatively active investors.
