	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	61872	Online	S3	11:00AM -12:20PM	TR	n.a.	Maple, D	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 3 hours Section Info: Students will have completed FIN 300 to enroll in this course. This is an experiential course which provides a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a hedge fund manager in today’s capital markets. Students begin by learning to generate superior investment ideas by conducting creative, value-added research. They will work through the full investment process: idea generation, analysis, and presentation. Students will learn to answer questions directed at them by investment peers, and will be challenged to think quickly on their feet to effectively justify their positions. After learning the analyst process, students will use their own recommendations to actively compete and invest in a simulated portfolio. We will utilize an online simulated capital markets tool that will allow students to invest in stocks, options and futures across global exchanges. Throughout the semester, students will also learn various hedging techniques and they must implement them as part of the portfolio management process. Ultimately, the skill sets taught in this course will give students deeper understandings of security analysis, portfolio management, risk management and asset allocation. In short, students will have a far more comprehensive view of global capital markets than many of their peers and will therefore gain a competitive edge in the investment management community. Restriction(s): Restricted to Gies College of Business. Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
