SECS-P/11 - FINANCIAL MARKETS AND INSTITUTIONS
Period
primo semestre (lauree magistrali) dal Oct 5, 2020 al Dec 23, 2020.
Learning outcomes
In this course students will be introduced to the modern study and analysis of investments by considering how the investors, namely private and institutional, make their decisions and how their choices can be evaluated. In recent years both markets and securities have evolved to meet the changing and complex needs of different participants in the financial system. In this regard, the course focuses on the knowledge of the major types of markets in which securities trade, on the trading process and on the major players in these arenas. A special attention is devoted to the analysis of the procedures available for trading securities in international markets and to financial regulation and competition. Following a review of the investments industry – financial assets, financial intermediaries and financial markets - we will study the portfolio theory and other relevant models. In particular, the course aims at developing students’ skills on how the international financial markets and investment industry work. At the end of the course students should be able to: - analyse financial markets, financial intermediaries and the most known theoretical models, - understand how investments decisions can be made and their effects on savings. The use of some problem sets will also enable students to apply the concepts learned.

Type D and Type F activities
Nei piani didattici di ciascun Corso di studio è previsto l’obbligo di conseguire un certo numero di crediti formativi mediante attività a scelta (chiamate anche "di tipologia D e F").
Oltre che in insegnamenti previsti nei piani didattici di altri corsi di studio e in certificazioni linguistiche o informatiche secondo quanto specificato nei regolamenti di ciascun corso, tali attività possono consistere anche in iniziative extracurriculari di contenuto vario, quali ad esempio la partecipazione a un seminario o a un ciclo di seminari, la frequenza di laboratori didattici, lo svolgimento di project work, stage aggiuntivo, eccetera.
Come per ogni altra attività a scelta, è necessario che anche queste non costituiscano un duplicato di conoscenze e competenze già acquisite dallo studente.
Quelle elencate in questa pagina sono le iniziative extracurriculari che sono state approvate dal Consiglio della Scuola di Economia e Management e quindi consentono a chi vi partecipa l'acquisizione dei CFU specificati, alle condizioni riportate nelle pagine di dettaglio di ciascuna iniziativa.
Si ricorda in proposito che:
- tutte queste iniziative richiedono, per l'acquisizione dei relativi CFU, il superamento di una prova di verifica delle competenze acquisite, secondo le indicazioni contenute nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività;
- lo studente è tenuto a inserire nel proprio piano degli studi l'attività prescelta e a iscriversi all'appello appositamente creato per la verbalizzazione, la cui data viene stabilita dal docente di riferimento e pubblicata nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività.
ATTENZIONE: Per essere ammessi a sostenere una qualsiasi attività didattica, inlcuse quelle a scelta, è necessario essere iscritti all'anno di corso in cui essa viene offerta. Si raccomanda, pertanto, ai laureandi delle sessioni di dicembre e aprile di NON svolgere attività extracurriculari del nuovo anno accademico, cui loro non risultano iscritti, essendo tali sessioni di laurea con validità riferita all'anno accademico precedente. Quindi, per attività svolte in un anno accademico cui non si è iscritti, non si potrà dar luogo a riconoscimento di CFU.
