Outline and objectives

This applied seminar explains in simple terms how to invest and trade in the financial market with a consistent track record. Alongside we will cover basic theoretical and empirical frameworks about investment and research in general.

Thanks to the competitive pressure of the investment game during the seminar, students learn the fundamentals of decision-making, as well as the analysis of the information. The course covers the history and anatomy of financial markets and unified treatment of the three prime financial asset classes, viz. stocks, bonds, derivatives.

Topics are organized in a way that makes them easy to apply — covering both fundamental and technical analysis. Throughout the seminar, the actual trading of securities will be explained along with the use of indicators analyzing price action and pattern recognition.

Goal

1. To analyze key macroeconomic variables in real-time and interpret their influence on financial markets

2. To assess various investment strategies using analytical tools

3. To gain an ability to construct an objective oriented investment portfolio

Default language used in class

英語 / English

Method(s)(学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )

The students are expected to participate in a stimulating real-time portfolio investment game that faithfully and realistically mimics the market and thereby exposes the participants to the choices/trade-offs faced by professional traders and investment companies.

The late-stage seminar would also offer frequent interactions with/exposure to the financial market participants such as regulators, financial economists, investment banks, VCs, Hedge Funds, Startups, and other companies raising capital.
