This is the main Final year course in Finance. Building on the 2nd year Principles of Finance unit, it develops further some of the topics studied previously and introduces some new ones.
The course will be divided equally into two teaching blocks and topic areas: Asset pricing and Investments (Sylvain Friederich), and Corporate Finance (Neslihan Ozkan). These correspond to the broad Industry divide between market-based Finance (security analysis, sales and trading, fund management, etc) and Investment banking (security issuance, M&A, etc).
This course requires a variety of mathematical and econometric skills but remains intermediate in its technical level. We will attempt to strike the right balance between theory, evidence available from empirical studies, and exposure to real-world institutions (example: how options markets operate). The other Final year course in Finance (Advanced Topics) requires a greater inclination to think theoretically and a greater willingness to derive all key results explicitly.
