Financial Engineering & Risk Management Part I & II

Financial Engineering is a multidisciplinary field involving finance and economics, mathematics, statistics, engineering and computational methods. The emphasis of FE & RM Part II will be on the use of simple stochastic models to (i) solve portfolio optimization problems (ii) price derivative securities in various asset classes including equities and credit and (iii) consider some advanced applications of financial engineering including algorithmic trading and the pricing of real options. We will also consider the role that financial engineering played during the financial crisis.We hope that students who complete the course and the prerequisite course (FE & RM Part I) will have a good understanding of the “rocket science” behind financial engineering. But perhaps more importantly, we hope they will also understand the limitations of this theory in practice and why financial models should always be treated with a healthy degree of skepticism.Syllabus – What you will learn from this courseWeek 12 hours to completeMean-Variance Analysis and CAPMProblem formulation and solution; the efficient frontier; including the risk-free asset; the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM);implications of CAPM: α, β, security and capital market lines6 videos (Total 97 min), 2 readings, 1 quiz6 videosOverview of Mean Variance19mIntroduction to Mean Variance in Excel9mEfficient Frontier19mMean Variance with a Risk-free Asset14mRisk-free Frontier in Excel13mCapital Asset Pricing Model20m2 readingsLesson Supplements10mQuiz Instructions10m1 practice exerciseMean-Variance Analysis and CAPM Problem Set14mWeek 22 hours to completePractical Issues in Implementing Mean VarianceProblems with mean-variance analysis; ETFs and leveraged ETFs; VaR and CVaR for asset allocation; survivorship bias, performance evaluation and other statistical pitfalls.6 videos (Total 103 min), 2 readings, 1 quiz6 videosImplementation Difficulties with Mean Variance20mNegative Exposures and Leveraged ETFs14mBeyond Variance13mStatistical Biases in Performance Evaluation17mHow Should Average Returns be Computed?14mSurvivorship Bias and Data Snooping23m2 readingsLesson Supplements10mQuiz Instructions10m1 practice exercisePractical Issues in Implementing Mean Variance Problem Set14mGet Financial Engineering & Risk Management Part I & II – Anonymous, Only Price $37Week 32 hours to completeEquity Derivatives in Practice: Part IProblems with mean-variance analysis; ETFs and leveraged ETFs; VaR and CVaR for asset allocation; survivorship bias, performance evaluation and other statistical pitfalls.7 videos (Total 112 min), 2 readings, 1 quiz7 videosReview of the Binomial Model for Option Pricing10mThe Black-Scholes Model8mThe Greeks: Delta and Gamma19mThe Greeks: Vega and Theta18mRisk-Management of Derivatives Portfolios16mDelta-Hedging14mThe Volatility Surface23m2 readingsLesson Supplements10mQuiz Instructions10m1 practice exerciseEquity Derivatives in Practice: Part I16mWeek 42 hours to completeEquity Derivatives in Practice: Part IIMore about Black-Scholes, the Greeks and delta-hedging; the volatility surface; pricing derivatives using the volatility surface; model calibration.5 videos (Total 82 min), 1 reading5 videosThe Volatility Surface in Action9mWhy is There a Skew?14mWhat the Volatility Surface Tells Us17mPricing Derivatives Using the Volatility Surface21mBeyond the Volatility Surface and Black-Scholes19m1 readingLesson Supplements10mWeek 53 hours to completeCredit Derivatives and Structured ProductsMechanics and pricing of CDOs; exotic structured credit securities including CDO-squared’s and CDO-cubed’s.
