Learning outcomes
The purpose of the course is to give students theoretical knowledge and skills related with the financial investments answering to the following questions:
- How is the financial instruments' value affected, and how is possible to evaluate them?
- What are the most frequently models in practice? Are they coherent with the modern financial theory?
- How are financial instruments traded on financial markets?
To answer to these questions, we'll present most frequently used evaluation models and how thet are used by financial analysts. To explain the functioning of the financial markets, we'll refer to financial web sites and trading on-line.
This course will also provide to the students a technical language, so they will be able to interact with international students and operators.
The purpose of this course will be achieved at the end of itself if students will be able to understand, also in a critical perspective, the main facts about the financial markets.
Course contents
The course is intended to analyze securities and their evaluation, such as their issue and their trading on financial markets. During the first part of the course, after a brief overview on the technical-economical and fiscal characteristics of such financial assets, we'll discuss on the treasury and corporate bonds' evaluation. In the second part, we'll discuss shares evaluation, using Discounted Cash Flow Model and multiples and their application to the listed firms' studies, and derivatives evaluation (arbitrage and option pricing theory). In the last part of the course, we'll analyze the functioning of the Italian financial markets and the behaviour of intermediaries operating in such market.
