About the Masterclass
This Masterclass discusses the role and function of financial markets and different types of financial markets, financial intermediaries and financial instruments. We would then describe the process of constructing an investor portfolio. The two-step process of constructing an investor portfolio involves selecting a portfolio of risky assets and deciding how much to invest in that risky portfolio versus risk-free assets. We would introduce the concepts of risk aversion and utility and then develop the allocation of funds between risky assets and risk-free securities.
