Issues in Applied Finance - AFIN310
Most lectures in this unit are presented by leading practitioners from the finance industry and some by experienced faculty members from Macquarie and other universities. The unit looks at a range of applied issues in finance, insurance, banking and economics that one might encounter in graduate careers or in a high-level position. The aim of this unit is to gain an understanding of how theory and practice mesh in the real world of financial markets. Previous topics covered include: legal issues surrounding financial services and financial products (eg, ASIC's RG146, carbon trading and other guidelines); equity valuation; venture capital; managing market risk; mergers and acquisitions; funds management; credit risk modelling; global portfolio management; behavioural finance/accounting; project finance modelling in MS Excel; and risk and insurance. Our speakers have come from renowned institutions and companies such as DLA Piper, Preceept Investment and Actuaries, MaCap Advisors (Macquarie Bank), Westpac Institutional Bank, and Lonegan and Edwards.
