Synopsis

Investment  analysis  and  portfolio  management  is  important   to   both
individuals  who  manage  their  own  personal  investment  and  investment
managers  who  invest on behalf of their clients or companies.   This  unit
aims   to  consolidate  the  investment  and  portfolio  theories  to  make
investment and portfolio decisions.  Coverage includes valuation  of  major
investments  such as bond, stock, option and futures, and determination  of
their  proportions  in a portfolio.  Emphasis is placed on  the  analytical
aspects of the valuation and decision making process to enable students  to
adapt the established but often simplified theories and models in the  more
sophisticated and dynamic financial world.
