Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

This course is intended primarily for more advanced students in finance and students interested in investing/investment management.   The course presumes an understanding of basic corporate finance theory, introductory accounting, financial analysis and an particularly an interest in financial markets. We will be covering several topics including active and passive investing, ETFs, fundamentals based quantitative investing and short-selling. I expect this course to be useful for students planning for careers in investment banking, investment management, wealth management, corporate management, private equity, venture capital, security analysis, credit analysis, consulting, or public accounting.  This course complements NBA 5060 (financial statement analysis), NBA 5110 (financial modeling), intermediate accounting and NBA 5090 (advanced financial statement analysis). You might consider taking these if you want to increase your knowledge in the area.
