Objectifs
The classes have a focus on asset management and aim to provide students with theory and practice. Throughout the lectures, real world case studies and excercises are extensivley used to illustrate the challenging issue of responsible investment and integrating environemntal, social and governance (ESG) data into classical investment analysis. Group work and discussion are encouraged. The module has the aim of giving students the confidence to apply and develop their financial and quantitative skills and abilities required to interpret relavant financial and extra financial information in an asset management context. Students will gain the knowledge and experience of techniques that will enable them to recommend strategic responsible asset managemnt solutions and to implement them effectively. A range of financial theories and techniques combined with practical applications will be explored.
