課程介紹｜Content

This course covers the fundamental principles of investment, emphasizing theories and applications. The first part will overview the financial market and discuss optimal portfolio choice under the modern portfolio theory. We will proceed by discussing the equilibrium implications of optimal portfolio choice and deriving the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). Next, we will look into the arbitrage pricing theory (APT) and factor investing. The last part will include topics on performance evaluation, fund industry, risk management, and derivatives.

Conditional on the availability of foreign faculty members from partner institutions, this course may include sessions on cryptocurrency markets and FinTech.

This course is quantitative in nature. We will use the Python programming language to analyze data and apply investment theories throughout this course. There is no pre-requisite for programming knowledge, and we will introduce these tools as the course progresses. That said, to enhance the learning outcomes, students are strongly recommended to take an introductory MOOC course on Python. Examples include:
