More about this course
  • In this course, you will learn what the main financial markets and their characteristics are as well as how they are linked to the economy.
  • Our very diversified team of experts will start by teaching you how the price of stocks and bonds are computed and why they move while you will become increasingly aware of the notion of risk and why it matters when measuring an investment's performance. The focus will then move to less popular markets such as gold, emerging markets, real estate, hedge funds and private markets. These will be analyzed with an emphasis on their particular risks and return opportunities as well as how they can help in building efficient portfolios. Finally, the policies of central banks and their impact on financial markets will be presented to you along with the link between the economy and the price of financial assets.

Learning Experience: I was doing this course in Coursera a great platform for students. The course content was pretty good  and the faculty was also very diligent overall a good experience
Faculty: The quality of the lectures were pretty good they were putting enough efforts for us to understand the topic. I gain a lot of knowledge from this small course and skills like bond market, stocks, interest rates etc. And it will help for sure The course was designed in a very professional way as well as practical specially the content was top-notch. What I like about this certification is the professionalism of the faculties and it helps understand better and all in the one platform one by one. There was also assignment every week which you have to score well.
Course Support: I took some time for think and i decided to work in financial markets so it helped a lot
