About the Course

In this course, you will gain an understanding of the theory underlying optimal portfolio construction, the different ways portfolios are actually built in practice and how to measure and manage the risk of such portfolios. You will start by studying how imperfect correlation between assets leads to diversified and optimal portfolios as well as the consequences in terms of asset pricing. Then, you will learn how to shape an investor's profile and build an adequate portfolio by combining strategic and tactical asset allocations. Finally, you will have a more in-depth look at risk: its different facets and the appropriate tools and techniques to measure it, manage it and hedge it. Key speakers from UBS, our corporate partner, will regularly add a practical perspective on these different topics as you progress through the course....

This course is a bit difficult for me because I have no background in all the topics, but the instructors were able to discuss all these very well.

Week 4 was a bit complex. Risk section could have been explained better with more real life examples to support the theory and equations taught.

Some topics were bit tough to understand given that English isn't the first language of the instructors. But overall, a great course!

The course is good and helpful. Week 4th is complicated with a lack of examples and many maths formulas only instead.

Some of the lessons about value at risk are a little hard to understand. A little more practice it's needed I think.

Compared to previous two courses, this one was not as engaging. Perhaps the course theory is bland .
