Course Description | This advanced course equips students with foundational knowledge in portfolio management, with a particular emphasis on the intersection of investment theory and public policy. Students will explore core concepts from Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) and evaluate its practical limitations and real-world applications. Topics include asset allocation, portfolio construction, risk metrics, factor investing, ESG integration, and key performance indicators such as Sharpe and Sortino ratios. The course also critically examines the impact of public policies, such as monetary, tax, pension, trade, and climate policy, on institutional investment strategies. The course prepares students for professional roles in asset management, multilateral institutions, or regulatory bodies by combining theoretical frameworks with applied investment decision-making in a policy context. |
