AFP 365E International Finance
The course deals with financial management in an international context. International financial management still concerns with the basic issues discussed and learned in 'domestic' finance. However, the discussion of these issues will be extended by taking into account the extra dimensions unique to international finance. Three major dimensions distinguish international finance from domestic finance. They are i) foreign exchange and political risks, ii) market imperfections, and iii) expanded opportunity sets. Financial managers should learn how to manage foreign exchange and political risk using proper tools and instruments, deal with (and take advantage of) market imperfections, and benefit from the expanded investment and financing opportunities. By doing so, financial managers can contribute to shareholders wealth maximization, which is the ultimate goal of international financial management.
AFP 363E Securities Investment and Portfolio Management
AFP363E is an introductory investment course. The course exposes students to the investment alternatives available and to the theory and practice of investments and portfolio management. The course covers the primary financial securities - stocks, bonds, and derivatives, and methods for combining these underlying assets into a portfolio.
Broadly, the class lectures cover the modern developments in investments and portfolio theory, the portfolio management process, asset pricing models, implications of efficient capital markets for investments, various techniques for valuing stocks and bonds, and various evaluation methods of portfolio performance. Students will have an opportunity to apply the concepts learned in class through an investment portfolio management project.
