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.
