The course will analyze investments through the lens of risk---including defining risk, diversification, hedge, leverage, and risk premium---in the context of bonds, stocks, and derivatives. The course serves as an introduction to capital markets, discusses fundamental concepts in these markets that anyone who wants to work in finance should know (though these concepts are not easy and technical tools are sometimes required), and lays the foundation for taking more advanced
courses.
