Equity Securities

AY2019/2020 Semester 2

The objective of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive coverage of the principles and techniques in equity securities analysis, especially asset valuation. Valuation is at the heart of every investment decision, whether that decision is to buy, sell, or hold. Due to the globalization process and ever-changing dynamics of the modern financial markets, the pricing of any financial asset has become a more complex task. This course will guide you through the theory and application of valuation models and highlights their strengths and weaknesses. It will cover valuation of unconventional assets, financial service firms, start-ups, private companies, dot-coms, and many other traditionally valued assets.
