Investments are made in the hope they will generate returns over time. However, there are risks involved in each step. To grow your money, you need to learn how modern financial markets work. This course will introduce you to various investment portfolio management strategies for balancing risks and rewards, including foundational principles of finance and market analysis techniques so that you can be independent and confident about your financial decisions.
First, we'll introduce you to the different types of investments and assets and the benefits of diversified asset allocation. You'll learn about the risks associated with various investments, including bonds, stocks, mutual funds, and equity shares, and how to calculate risks and returns when investing in primary or secondary markets. In addition, we'll demonstrate various smart strategies for making alternative investments in real estate, private equity, hedge funds, art and antiques and many more.
Next, we'll teach you how to navigate the bull and bear markets, the pros and cons of leverage on investment and the effects of investors' behavioural biases on investment decisions. Lastly, we'll introduce you to the global investment landscape and teach you how to reap rewards from investing in developed, emerging and frontier markets. This course aims to equip you with valuable skills that will enable you to make informed financial decisions and grow your wealth. Remember, it doesn't promise you'll make money—investing has risks, and results can vary. So, why wait? Join the course and become an efficient financial planner.
