Description

The goal of this course is to provide students the fundamentals of financial engineering and corporate financial risk management. The course focuses on financial engineering using futures, forwards and swaps in developing business and risk management strategy. Specifically how do companies use financial engineering to manage risk caused by factors over which they have little control such as commodity prices, interest and exchange rates? The course covers both theoretical and practical aspects of financial engineering and risk management. Case studies are used to highlight the value of identifying, monitoring and managing financial risks.

This course is closed for registration.
