The unit is assessed via two-hour examination in the Summer plus a single piece of assessed course work. The assessed course work will seek to test whether students have appreciated the quantitative, practical side of the unit by asking them to develop a portfolio performance study or a portfolio construction project using real financial data. The examination will evaluate whether the students have grasped the theory underlying the portfolio management process, both for bonds and equities and the limitations of the approaches they have learned. It will also contain some questions that require students to apply the techniques to summary financial data.
Lectures, exercise lectures with smaller groups for numerical exercises and tutorials for student presentations/discussion-based questions. Computer labs if the need arises (depending on the computer courses given concurrently and in the Research Methods week).
