Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course contains elements of a capital markets course, an investments course, and a corporate finance course. The course will focus on the currency markets, international capital markets, and the parity relationships that govern relative prices. Firms face many new risks when they expand their investments, operations, and financing globally. Much of this course will deal with the identification and management of these risks. The prevalent tools for managing these risks are derivative securities; therefore, we will carefully examine derivative securities that can be used to hedge foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk. We will also analyze how expanding the opportunity set of investments globally impacts diversification opportunities and the trade-off between risk and return.
