This course introduces students to the four basic types of investments: stocks, bonds, options, and futures. The course examines the essential features of the instrument, possible rewards, risks, determinants of value, how the market for instruments operates, and finally for whom the investment is appropriate. Upon completion of the course students will understand how to make investment decisions, how to form portfolios, and will be able to manage (simulated) portfolios of financial instruments.
