Synopsis
Students are introduced to core concepts in finance theory in an engaging and easy-to-understand way. The overarching theme of the course is the random walk hypothesis and its implications for investment strategy. The random walk hypothesis, forming a cornerstone of the efficient markets theory, has been a primary impetus for finance research since the 1970s. The main themes of this research are explored in this course alongside other issues that are relevant to contemporary wealth management. These include investment classes and the concept of life cycle investing.
