This is an advanced seminar examining modern theories and concepts in several sub-fields of finance. These functional areas include: A.) fixed income securities, B.) investments, C.) market microstructure, D.) derivative securities, E.) international finance, and F.) portfolio management. The course normally covers both seminal and recent literature in one, two, or three of these functional areas. The current selection of the specified areas is consistent with the specific expertise of the departmental faculty and may be expanded in the future. The required readings include a set of appropriate seminal research papers from areas covered in a single course. The seminar will conclude with a specific guided research project conducted in an individual financial institution.
