The Thematic Unit “Investment Portfolio Management” aims to introduce students to the fundamental principles of contemporary portfolio management, which essentially relate to 1) an understanding of the basic financial instruments of the money market and in particular the capital market, and 2) an understanding of the basic principles of modern portfolio management theory.

By achieving these two aims, students will be able to analyse the fundamental financial instruments and be able, after evaluating them, to appropriately combine them into an investment portfolio that will deliver the highest expected return given the risk associated.
