Portfolio and Risk Management

Investment Management,

In this course, you will gain an understanding of the theory underlying optimal portfolio construction, the different ways portfolios are actually built in practice and how to measure and manage the risk of such portfolios. You will start by studying how imperfect correlation between assets leads to diversified and optimal portfolios as well as the consequences in terms of asset pricing. Then, you will learn how to shape an investor's profile and build an adequate portfolio by combining strategic and tactical asset allocations. Finally, you will have a more in-depth look at risk: its different facets and the appropriate tools and techniques to measure it, manage it and hedge it. Key speakers from UBS, our corporate partner, will regularly add a practical perspective on these different topics as you progress through the course.

portfolio and risk management

An excellent course which provides much needed tools and topics for Portfolio and Risk Management A Great ShameIt's rather deplorable that at this stage of the Investment Specialisation, this course falls short of meeting the minimum requirements to be an academic, or academic-related course provided by the University of Geneva.

You can learn how to get a lunch almost free... Great course that covers all the basics about portfolio and risk management.

Great instructions and overview of portfolio and risk management!

I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking for insight into portfolio and risk management.

recommend this course

i recommend this course for every one interested to understand the dynamics of financial markets and the future trends of financial markets and portfolio management very good course.

I totally recommend this course.

expected shortfall

I plead with the course creators and academics to respect their titles and immediately intervene to do the following:1- Completely overhaul Week 4 by improving the lectures, enrich with examples and give more elaborate explanations2- Re-write the entire subtitles for this course3- Incorporate parts of Week 4 with Week 1 to make the course more symmetrical4- Pay special attention to providing new lectures on VaR, Expected Shortfall, and currency Hedging For non-finance or statistical students, it would benefit them to have more detailed explanations of the equations used in this module, as well as more example to fully grasp the concepts and become comfortable with using the equations.

Highly recommended for Risk Managers who are looking for digging more into Efficient frontier, Value-at-Risk, Expected Shortfall, Variance-Covariance approach, etc.

Profiling customers, constructing strategic and tactical portfolios, the pros and cons of investing across geographies and currencies, hedging risks and concepts like VaR and Expected Shortfall-these concepts were taught with great empathy and passion.

my knowledge

very good Very good course All nice exceptional lecturers and content The course was good and further founded my knowledge of investing as an individual investor.

Certainly this course upgraded my knowledge to new version.

more detailed

It was a very useful course; however, I would prefer if the explanation during Week 4 were a bit more detailed using more examples.

Some of the derivative detail is hard to remember and the more detailed risk measurement formula may benefit from a little more explanation.
