Objective

Content

During this course we will pay attention to portfolio management and asset-liability management.
Studying portfolio management we will focus on the optimal investment portfolio given the risk characteristics of an investor. After that we will look at the effects these optimal strategies have on the pricing of different shares. We also discuss the capital asset pricing model and the arbitrage pricing theory. Furthermore we will study performance measurement and alternative theories, like behavioral finance.
Asset liability management is about finding the optimal mix of investments for parties that have certain future liabilities. Think about pension funds and insurance companies. But we will also discuss banks and other financial institutions. 

While writing this it is not sure yet who will be teaching this course and that's why we cannot mention which literature we will use. As soon as there is more information, it will be published on the web.
