Learning outcomes
This course presents the basic models for the analysis and evaluation of financial operations, both under conditions of certainty and randomness. The main goal of the course is to equip the student with the ability to model and solve some basic mathematical problems, commonly encountered in the financial practice.
Program
1. Financial operations. Present and future value. Simple and compound interest. Spot and forward rates. Market rates.
2. Present value of a cash flow. Amortizement of a debt. Computation of the instalments. Choice criteria among cash flows: Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return. Fixed and floating rate mortgages. Coupon bonds and term structure. Immunization, duration and convexity.
3. Portfolio selection. Investing in stocks. Expected return and volatility of a portfolio. Risk aversion and Markowitz criterium. Efficient portfolios when investing in: a stock and a bond, two stocks, two stocks and a bond. Constrained optimization techniques (Lagrange) Covariance matrix and efficient portfolios with N stocks. The Capital Market Line and the Capital Asset Pricing Model.
4. Derivatives: Futures, Forward, Swap, Options, Credit Default Swap

Examination Methods
The exam consists of a written test to solve a number of practical problems to ensure the achievement of the learning objectives (for both attending and non-attending students). The exam aims to verify the student's ability to identify the correct resolution, knowledge of basic financial laws and sophisticated assessment models, and the ability to apply acquired knowledge to concrete cases in new and variable contexts. Attending and non-attending students will be able to count on the material provided to the teacher: lesson slides and practical problems faced in class. Attending students will also be able to participate in the exercises conducted by an external exercitat. The teacher is also available at the student reception.
