"The course offers an introductory and analytical treatment of the fundamentals of valuation within the context of bond, equity, and derivative products in the management of a securities portfolio. In the bond segment, the course analyzes fixed-rate and variable-rate instruments, structured products, and linear derivatives, as well as their pricing with and without credit spreads. Regarding the equity segment, starting from the framework of Modern Portfolio Theory, the course examines the main instruments and techniques used in the equity sector, focusing on both basic instruments and convex derivatives. The topics are primarily covered in an applied manner, using Excel and Matlab.

Active participation in the course and diligent study will enable the student to:
• Understand the institutional characteristics of the domestic and international bond and equity markets (knowledge and understanding).
• Comprehend the basic concepts of return and risk within the context of interest rate models and mean-variance models (knowledge and understanding).

They will also develop teamwork skills, learn to organize and manage a project (learning skills), and communicate with the instructor; they will enhance their ability to present results, highlighting critical points and analyzing outputs with independent judgment (communication skills), while managing Excel and any necessary programming languages (communication skills)."

Learning objectives

"The objective is to provide students with theoretical knowledge of applied linear algebra and data mining, with particular emphasis on the decomposition of prediction errors in economic and social phenomena. Fundamental statistical concepts (e.g., regression, classification, inference) will be reviewed and presented with a more detailed technical level to provide a deeper theoretical understanding of data analysis.
2. Based on the theoretical knowledge acquired, students will be required to apply what they have learned in analyzing datasets on real or simulated data. Particular emphasis is placed on comparing different methods that can be used to achieve the same data analysis objective, in order to identify the most appropriate one. To this end, students will be required to master the R programming software at an intermediate/advanced level.
3. Based on what they have learned in theory and verified in practice, students must make a judgment on the quality of the data analysis performed. Particular emphasis is placed on highlighting the limitations and critical points of the data analysis performed, always keeping in mind whether the data analysis objective has been effectively achieved (where possible).
4. Students are required to communicate what they have learned theoretically and discovered empirically through data analysis by giving an oral presentation of their results. The presentation should balance the technical content of the work with a more informative nature of the insights gained from the data.
5. The student’s learning ability is tested through the data analysis itself. The in-class analyses, where students will learn the theory and test it, will always be necessarily educational, for example, with pre-selected and pre-processed datasets. The analysis of real data that students are exposed to will necessarily put them in a position to apply what they have learned in an innovative way and to learn new techniques. In general, the course will provide students with all the necessary elements to learn new concepts independently."
