After having completed the course, students should be able to comprehend:
The seminar concentrates on the financial sector, with a main focus on Europe. Because financial institutions like banks, but also institutional investors like pension funds, insurance companies, and investment funds, play important roles within the financial sector, the operation and management of these organisations will be studied. From the viewpoint of the community, the focus will be on unfolding the seemingly complex financial superstructure and its importance in present-day economic life. From the viewpoint of the manager, the focus will be on the modern techniques of asset, liability and risk management. From the viewpoint of the financial analyst, the focus will be on the basics of creating financial innovations. From the viewpoint of the regulator, the focus will be on capital adequacy, deposit insurance and risk-shifting as they attempt to ensure the soundness of the financial system. The course is designed to provide students with both a theoretical and practical grounding in the structure, the management and the operations of the financial sector in Europe.
