Explores the problem of building a rigorous, disciplined process around multi asset class investment strategies. Particular emphasis on options and derivatives. Focuses on the creation of investment views and the structuring of trades or strategies around those views, and on dynamic portfolio construction and risk management, moving beyond classical portfolio optimization theory to address practical methods in the context of nonlinear and non-normal asset returns and real-world informational and institutional constraints. Emphasis is on the investment and portfolio management process, rather than on specific trades or strategies (which are highly specific to individual investors), but the course follows a set of examples from discretionary and systematic global macro. Prerequisites: MS&E 242, MS&E 342, or similar courses.
