Course Objectives:
The objective of the course is to provide a comprehensive understanding about financial markets, their players and instruments. Initially, the focus will be on the description of the nature and economic functions of the several types of financial institutions that are present in the market. A great part of the course will then be used to cover in more detail specific aspects of the equity, debt and mutual funds markets. Emphasis will be put on their players and instruments, with the objective of providing a more detailed knowledge about risk/return characteristics and price determination. It is expected that students will develop critical skills in assessing the relevance of the principles of finance and financial intermediation to real world situations, and to better understand the role that financial markets play in the business environment that they will face in the future.
