In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to use beta to compare stock’s exposure to the systematic risk and use alpha to quantify the investment’s return over the market return.
ATTENTION: To take this course, it is required that you are familiar basic financial risk management concepts. You can gain them by taking the guided project Compare Stock Returns with Google Sheets. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We're currently working on providing the same experience in other regions. This course's content is not intended to be investment advice and does not constitute an offer to perform any operations in the regulated or unregulated financial market

Practical and valuable for fresh finance graduates who further wanna take their learning to the next level. By taking this guided project I worked on Excel where I used financial formulas such as Stdev, VAR & COVAR to decipher the beta (systematic risk) and overall risk (systematic and unsystematic) of the single stock and portfolio. Moreover, I have learnt about alpha which shows how one's investment choice performed well compared to the proxy market or an index. To sum it up, it is a useful course for young starters who want to grow and progress in their career.

Good and very useful course, but I think it would be better to use log returns instead of returns, in statistics computations.
Thanks to the teacher !
