About the Course

In this course, you will gain an understanding of the theory underlying optimal portfolio construction, the different ways portfolios are actually built in practice and how to measure and manage the risk of such portfolios. You will start by studying how imperfect correlation between assets leads to diversified and optimal portfolios as well as the consequences in terms of asset pricing. Then, you will learn how to shape an investor's profile and build an adequate portfolio by combining strategic and tactical asset allocations. Finally, you will have a more in-depth look at risk: its different facets and the appropriate tools and techniques to measure it, manage it and hedge it. Key speakers from UBS, our corporate partner, will regularly add a practical perspective on these different topics as you progress through the course....

This is was an incredible course. If you have a little bit of background on these topics you will be amazed by how the instructors present complex concepts in a very simple and understandable way.

I thought they were just my feelings about the week 4. It is not. I agree that it has much more than one can take keeping the pace that we're used to. It feels like for through studies of week 4 one should do an enormous job studying by him/herself completing the gaps that are there. The lectures particularly in week 4 seemingly imply we have suddenly become professionals in the field which we have not.

I would support one of the reviewers by saying that week 4 should be split somehow into more appropriate portions, material should be explained more coherently without implying we can read it all up on the Internet. Speaking about week 4, it feels like there are lots of gaps in the material and one has to go online much more than usually in order to really understand the material.

I would also (like one of my classmates did) ask for more optional practical tasks with real portfolios or real situations so that we could use the formulas in real life with confidence.

This is my third course in the investment management specialization, and I have only given this one 3 stars because the mathematical explanations for the Value-at-Risk and the Conditional Value-at-Risk formulas were explained terribly by the instructors.

They seemed to assume that all people held the same level of financial knowledge as themselves and just gave a load of symbols and equations without explaining what they were for. They did not even give an example calculation so I could learn myself. Instead, I had to use other websites to read about and study these formulas.

If this can be corrected with enhanced, improved new information for learners, then this could also be a 5 out of 5 star course.
