Applied Investment Management

 

This course uses academic studies, practitioner-oriented readings, case studies, and homework projects to cover both conventional wisdom and state-of-the-art methods used in managing a portfolio of equity securities. Rather than focus on one approach to picking stocks, such as fundamental analysis, the class covers a wide range of alternatives, mirroring the diverse investment styles practiced in the institutional money management industry. Topics include: asset allocation, active stock selection, market timing, passive management, quantitative selection methods, trading (retail and institutional), transaction costs, mutual funds, and hedge funds.
