FIN 523 Derivatives |
3 Credits |
This course serves as a comprehensive introduction to
derivative securities. Naturally, forward contracts,
futures, options, and swaps are the focal point of the
course. While the main emphasis is on the use of
derivatives as risk-transferring/minimizing devices,
valuations of such contracts are also included. In addition
to hedging strategies to be created by any of the derivative
securities, various other trading strategies involving
options (spreads and combinations) are presented.
A solid coverage of no arbitrage
based pricing is provided as the common underlying
premise to valuing derivative securities. Therewith,
cost-of-carry valuation of forwards and futures, binomial
pricing of options, dynamic delta-hedging, the Black-Scholes
option pricing formula, and swap pricing are introduced.

1.5 Credits |
The purpose of this course is to familiarize the students
with private equity firms, and valuation of private
equity investment. In an imperfect market, Private
Equity firms provide an important financial intermediation
service by facilitating start-ups' and small firms' access
to equity funds. Therefore, it is important to understand
how Private Equity firms operate, and what is needed to
attract them to a market. Furthermore, valuation of private
equity investments poses a problem as standard DCF
methods are not applicable, and real options method
is required. This course starts with an introduction to
valuation of derivative securities as background for real
options, and proceeds to discussion of private equity.

3 Credits |
Financial modeling is the quantitative representation of the
relationship among the variables of financial problems. A
well-designed financial model captures the interdependencies
among the variables at hand and makes it easy to answer
"what-if" questions. This course tackles common financial
problems -ranging from the simple NPV analysis to the
relatively more complex VaR(value at risk) analysis, option
valuation, portfolio optimization, and term-structure
modeling- and help the students gain the necessary
competencies in building appropriate financial models
for each case. The aim is to get the students to the
skill level where they can model and solve most financial
problems they will face in the business world. Excel
and VBA will be used throughout the course.

FIN 806 Behavioral Finance |
1.5 Credits |
Behavioral finance is a relatively new but quickly
expanding field that seeks to provide explanations for
people’s financial decisions by combining behavioral
and cognitive psychological theory with conventional
economics and finance. Neoclassical economists
assume that; i) all individuals act rationally to maximize
their utility for both monetary and non-monetary gains,
and ii) markets are fully efficient and prices reflect all
available, relevant information. However, in reality
these assumptions often do not hold. Behavioral finance
helps explain why and how markets might be inefficient,
why people are imperfect processors of information and
why they are often subject to biases, errors and
perceptual illusions.
CFA exam curriculum devotes more and more weight to
behavioural finance every year. Portfolio managers,
investment advisors, consultants, CFOs and individual
investors must have an in-depth understanding of
different behavioral biases and their impacts on financial
decision making.
This course aims to be a guide to understanding the
fundamentals of behavioral finance and reasons and
impacts of irrational investor behaviour. Throughout the
course, we will cover psychological biases that effect the
financial decision-making process and examine their
impacts on financial markets and on people’s lives.
The course will be supported by real-life case studies,
analyses of investor behaviour, cases of behavioral
interventions to modify investor behaviour and
interviews / Q&A sessions with investment practitioners.

FIN 906 Behavioral Finance |
1.5 Credits |
Behavioral finance is a relatively new but quickly expanding
field that seeks to provide explanations for
people’s financial decisions by combining behavioral and
cognitive psychological theory with conventional
economics and finance. Neoclassical economists assume
that; i) all individuals act rationally to maximize
their utility for both monetary and non-monetary gains,
and ii) markets are fully efficient and prices reflect all
available, relevant information. However, in reality
these assumptions often do not hold. Behavioral finance
helps explain why and how markets might be inefficient,
why people are imperfect processors of information and
why they are often subject to biases, errors and
perceptual illusions.
CFA exam curriculum devotes more and more weight to
behavioural finance every year. Portfolio managers,
investment advisors, consultants, CFOs and individual
investors must have an in-depth understanding of
different behavioral biases and their impacts on financial
decision making.
This course aims to be a guide to understanding the
fundamentals of behavioral finance and reasons and
impacts of irrational investor behaviour. Throughout the
course, we will cover psychological biases that effect the
financial decision-making process and examine their
impacts on financial markets and on people’s lives.
The course will be supported by real-life case studies,
analyses of investor behaviour, cases of behavioral
interventions to modify investor behaviour and
interviews / Q&A sessions with investment practitioners.
