  1. Sylvie Shi

    Great introductory course on investment risks. It will be particularly interesting and useful for people who are not familiar with this field to understand the risks they are exposed to. The course included some classic examples in this field, with easy-to-understand visuals. Excel exercises that came along with the lessons are very easy to follow. It would be nice if more of those exercises were included so that students can reinforce their learning. I would recommend this course to audiences with limited exposure to the financial industry but are keen to learn some of the fundamental concepts.

  2. Debu Banerjea

    Excellent course material. Provides a comprehensive outlook into risk management tools and techniques. Easy to follow. Great illustrations to reinforce difficult concepts. The excel workbook are an added bonus to put theory to practice.
    I have no doubt in recommending this course to the students of risk management and industry leaders, like me, in learning new relevant skills at this challenging financial time.

  3. Amber Qian

    The visual illustrations in the course videos simplify tons of complicated terms and definitions, giving valuable chances to learners with some or zero financial background for informative yet fun exploration. The course focuses on Portfolio Management and Investment Risk, opening up a broader view how the mechanics work, while going into details such as investment strategies and arbitrage trading. For sure I benefited a lot from learning the course, with not only the explanations from the lecture and PDF, but also the hands-on practice from the Excel sheets provided. Highly recommended!
