FINANCE 225: Finance-M

Most financial transactions of firms are market-based transactions where the firm interacts with investors in financial markets. The aim of this course is to provide you with an understanding of the workings of financial markets. We will build on the basic concepts you learned in Managerial Finance to explore how investors and corporate managers make decisions about risk and return, how financial markets reach equilibrium, how imperfections create opportunities for innovative financial solutions, and how competition constantly changes the face of financial markets. nnnWe use cases to develop these topics in the context of concrete practical decision-problems, such as asset allocation of a large endowment fund, the raising of outside capital, or the design of a risk management strategy using financial derivatives.
