EXECUTIVE EDUCATION
The popular lecture series «Fit for Finance» was held this autumn for the first time as an intensive course with a limited number of 36 participants. In addition to theoretical concepts, the special focus of this course is on practical applicability. Participants will learn how financial markets work and what practical implications this has for investment advice, financial analysis, risk management, etc. Due to its thematic orientation, the course forms an optimal basis for further certificates, in particular for the CFA®.
In spring 2020, we will offer for the first time the intensive course «Fit for Alternative Investments». The course Fit for Alternative Investments provides an in-depth and up-to-date overview of the most important topics in the field of alternative investments. In addition to traditional investment classes, the course focuses in particular on new asset classes such as cryptoassets, crowdfunding and crowdlending. Participants learn how alternative investments work and what practical implications this has for investment advice, financial analysis, asset allocation and risk management. A high degree of practical relevance is also provided by external speakers.
