Alternative Investments

This course provides an overview of investments in assets beyond traditional stocks and bonds, including venture capital, private equity, private credit, hedge funds, real estate, and commodities. Using case studies and financial models, students evaluate these investments based on real-world examples. They gain an understanding of what role alternative investments play in a diversified portfolio and how to capture market inefficiencies via these nontraditional assets and investment strategies. The course provides foundational knowledge of alternative investments and enables students to better communicate about them with colleagues and clients.

Registering at least three weeks prior to the course start date is highly recommended.
