The objective of this course is to provide the student with a strong foundation in financial market analysis and the roles of nonbank financial institutions in the modern economy. This course will commence with the necessary background for financial market analysis, including methods of valuation and the role of interest rates and monetary policy. The course will then cover three broad types of financial markets: debt markets, equity markets and derivatives markets. Each section will focus on the types of instruments and the markets in which they are traded, as well as methods of valuation of these asset classes. The course then investigates nonbank financial institutions, including mutual funds: pension funds, securities firms and insurance companies, paying close attention to their role in the previously-discussed markets.
