Debt Securities Markets
This course is primarily designed to provide, mostly through cases, in-depth analyses of concepts and techniques used in designing, pricing, marketing and trading fixed income securities. We deal with standard bond valuation, risk analysis, bond trading (arbitrage) strategy, securitization and other important innovations, and risk management for financial institutions and/or corporate issuers. Institutional aspects (market microstructure, market imperfection and trading mechanisms) of fixed income securities will be also discussed but limited in scope. Our analysis will first focus on plain vanilla default-free long-term government bonds and related products, and then gradually move towards more sophisticated or innovative fixed income securities. The important intellectual challenges in fixed income product innovations are mostly introduced through case analyses in a realistic investment banking process. The case analyses enable students to more realistically understand conceptual breakthroughs as well as institutional barriers faced by both investors and issuers.
Corporate Finance
The objective of this course is to provide a thorough introduction to the fundamental principles of asset valuation and financing in competitive financial markets. The course examines the important issues in corporate finance from a perspective of financial managers who need to make significant investment and financing decisions. We start with the NPV rule, which leads us to the valuation of debt and equity. We then investigate the efficient market hypothesis and examine the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the portfolio theories in such a market. We also learn to use the NPV rule to justify capital investment decisions. Option pricing will be the last step in our venture into the world of corporate finance. While this course is not designed to teach an abstract mathematical theory of modern financial economics, a basic theoretical understanding of various topics is essential to competent analysis and intellectual discussion. Furthermore, in examining issues in portfolio diversification, knowledge of basic statistics and spreadsheets will be essential and assumed. Prerequisite: Statistics. Co-requisite: Financial Accounting and/or Managerial Economics.
