Course Description and Objectives
This course aims to help students develop a broad knowledge and understanding of portfolio management and investment analysis. Students build on the knowledge gained from earlier courses. Students will build on theory and learn the importance of understanding client objectives in the portfolio management process. They will also explore practical issues (such as taxation and trading costs) that arise in managing client portfolios. We will review a number of investment and trading strategies that have been suggested as having the potential to create superior returns. Students should gain an understanding of the distribution of returns of a number of trading strategies, and also an understanding of risk in a portfolio context.

Planned Student Learning Experiences
During lectures you will be asked to be active, completing exercises and discussing issues with your fellow students. The discussions are the learning process and the nature of the material means that in most cases there is not a single acceptable answer. The important thing is being able to argue a case and present evidence to back your argument.
Consultation
Students are encouraged to raise any concerns of a subject specific nature with the course lecturer – it will be possible to consult during office hours.
Suggested Textbook
Maginn, Tuttle, Pinto, and McLeavey (2007) ‘Managing Investment Portfolios: A Dynamic Process’ published by CFA Institute and Wiley.
A number of journal articles and other publications will be made available.
