A great course! It contains everything that is needed- from the very beginning to the most complex aspects of the topic, but everything is explained in a simple, absolutely clear and easy-to-understand way. I had previous knowledge on the topic before taking the course, but it’s also suitable for beginners, since the instructor takes you step-by-step through all otherwise complex formulas which he makes easy to understand by applying sheer logical reasoning. The course abounds in practical, real-life examples and exercises which I strongly recommend doing in order to get the hang of the skills taught in each section. Additionally, Vash is very responsive to students’ questions and always willing to help.

This course is an introduction to portfolio management. Students will learn how to estimate the expected returns and risks of assets based on historical data and forecasts using some classical models, and then assemble a diversified portfolio. The authors of the course outline the basic steps of the portfolio management “pipeline” and give references which facilitate further familiarisation with the subject.

The course does not require any preliminary knowledge in mathematics. As a corollary, presented models are the most simple. In particular, portfolio optimisation problem is not considered at this point. However, the course administrator kindly provided convenient references on this subject by request.

I advise this course to everybody who is interested in a gentle introduction to portfolio management.

I really enjoyed this course. I enjoyed learning the math behind the formulas. (The mathematical formulas are broken down through proofs, so that one can see the logic behind them. Using this method, I was better able to understand their uses.) And I really improved my Excel/Google Spreadsheet abilities.
