Investment Analysis BEA652
Hobart
Introduction
This unit focusses on security analysis and portfolio management. The unit is designed around the following three points of view, to enable you to learn about trading and investing in financial markets.
- Investment skills for your own personal gain
- Investment skills for the financial services industry
- An understanding of financial markets and instruments
The study of investments is exciting. This is the only unit that equips you to trade and invest in the stock market. In this unit you will participate in portfolio simulation (i.e. the Public ASX Sharemarket Game) managing an initial virtual wealth of A$50,000. You may not find it easy, but you will most certainly find it rewarding.
