What people are saying

capstone project

Well laid out Capstone project to help understand portfolio diversification and Optimal Portfolio.

The capstone project was also key in understanding and presenting the risk/return relationship from a portfolio investment point of view.

I especially enjoyed the capstone project, which had a lot to do with portfolio construction in the real world.

Very good slides which are well formulated and easy to understand The Capstone project could have been something more rigorous - more to do with Business/Financial Modelling.
