This Specialization delivers a comprehensive, industry-aligned understanding of investment banking operations across fixed income, foreign exchange, and money markets. Learners progress from structured finance and mortgage-backed securities to bond valuation, currency markets, and short-term funding instruments, developing the ability to analyze pricing, risk, and market mechanics using professional conventions. Through concept-to-application learning and real-world case contexts, including the global credit crisis, the Specialization builds analytical, operational, and decision-making skills relevant to careers in banking, treasury, risk management, and financial markets.
Applied Learning Project
Learners complete applied projects that simulate real investment banking and market operations tasks, such as evaluating mortgage-backed securities risk, pricing and comparing bonds, analyzing FX transactions, and assessing money market instruments. These projects require learners to apply market conventions, data interpretation, and risk analysis to solve authentic financial problems.
