You'll learn about different types of investments such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and real estate, and delve into advanced topics like behavioral finance, derivatives, and alternative investments. This knowledge can enhance your ability as a financial advisor, portfolio manager, or individual investor navigating the financial markets.
