MFIN 8855 Cross Asset Valuation Across Global Markets

We will explore the different investment objectives of institutional investors, hedge funds, central banks and investment advisors, and how their independent objectives influence the overall investment landscape. Our goal will be to explore the structure and valuation of various asset classes, including rates, credit, foreign exchange, funding and equities, and how each of these asset classes may react across various policy and economic regimes. STEM-designated (Students can only receive credit for either MFIN8845 or MFIN8855 - not both)
