About the Course

Introduction to Financial Engineering and Risk Management course belongs to the Financial Engineering and Risk Management Specialization and it provides a fundamental introduction to fixed income securities, derivatives and the respective pricing models. The first module gives an overview of the prerequisite concepts and rules in probability and optimization. This will prepare learners with the mathematical fundamentals for the course. The second module includes concepts around fixed income securities and their derivative instruments. We will introduce present value (PV) computation on fixed income securities in an arbitrage free setting, followed by a brief discussion on term structure of interest rates. In the third module, learners will engage with swaps and options, and price them using the 1-period Binomial Model. The final module focuses on option pricing in a multi-period setting, using the Binomial and the Black-Scholes Models. Subsequently, the multi-period Binomial Model will be illustrated using American Options, Futures, Forwards and assets with dividends....

Great course, but the math at the beginning was never used. Probably better to introduce math on the go.

El curso me parece interesante para mejorar las habilidades cuantitativas. Pero el lenguaje matemático de las presentaciones podría mejorar y no ser tan específico.

Course is really interesting, but the lectures are way too quick, without too much explanations of the main concepts and sometimes too theoretical.

Very poor teaching. Insufficient materials used. You will end up spending more time googling to learn concepts because slides just have 1 line without much details.

this course is not detailed enough, instructors quickly skim through concepts like they expect us to know everything in advance
