Description
The course starts with the principles of portfolio management and key concepts of risk and return for a portfolio, before taking a detailed look at the major asset classes commonly found in portfolios; namely equity and debt instruments and how these instruments are valued and combined in an investment portfolio.
You will also look at non-traditional asset classes such as alternative investments and the benefits and challenges associated with incorporating such investments into a portfolio. Finally, the programme concludes with the fundamentals of performance measurement to enable participants to assess the success or failure of a portfolio in the context of the risk taken.
Using case studies throughout and concluding with an assessment of a mixed portfolio of different asset classes drawing on the previous days’ content, the overriding objective of the course is to provide an understanding of the investment management process from beginning to end and the key challenges faced throughout this process.
