The course starts with an introduction to the corporation, its relations to financial markets and the issuance of periodical financial statements to the public. Three pillars of corporate finance are introduced. The first pillar is the discounted cash valuation approach. Students learn how to value bonds and stocks for given parameter values of risk and return, and to value and compare projects in the net present value framework. The second pillar is the capital asset pricing model. Systematic and unsystematic risks of assets are discussed in the contexts of the capital market line and the security market line. We also allude to alternative pricing models of risk such as the arbitrage pricing theory. The third pillar is the Modigliani and Miller theorem of optimal capital structure with and without taxes, and the limits to the usage of leverage. Building on these pillars, we discuss three approaches to discounted cash flow valuation: the flow-to-equity approach which assumes that firms have a constant leverage ratio, the APV approach which assumes that firms have a pre-specified debt level, and the WACC approach which is flexible in the leverage ratio. We also discuss relative valuation and contingent valuation. Throughout the course, the theoretical concepts are illustrated through textbook problems and real-world applications. We set-up and apply financial spreadsheets to data gathered in real-time from internet sources.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        75% &#8211; final written exam<br>25% &#8211; take-home assignment <br>bonus points &#8211; Virtual stock market game                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p><br>Literature<br><\/p><br><p>Ross et al.

We start pointing out that investment outcomes are random. A first step is understanding class Arrow and Pratt contributions. We then investigate how this can be extended to the multi-asset case and how it is related to Moskowitz (1952). Based on this, we will look at the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to determine how assets are priced in equilibrium. Relevant academic contributions here are Treynor (1962), Sharpe (1964), Lintner (1965), and Mossin (1966).<br>We will critically evaluate the underlying assumptions. Among others, the assumption of risk-free borrowing Fisher Black (1972) and short sell restrictions (Ross (1977)) will be discussed. The shape of the utility function is also discussed (Borch paradox (Borch (1969)).<br>We will investigate relevant empirical literature on the CAPM. A special focus will be given on active vs. passive asset management.<br>Apart from the mean-variance analysis, we will also look at the concepts first and second order stochastic dominance. Here, we will see how portfolios can be evaluated based on characteristics of the (portfolio) distribution of returns. Finally, we will look at optimal investment portfolios for long-term investors (such as pension funds or family offices). <br>All topics will be done both, theoretically as well as empirically. <br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        70% written exam <br>30% Participation, presentation, cases                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Bibliography:<br><br>Donaldson, John and Jean-Pierre Danthine.

The ability of structured finance to repackage risks and create assets of various risk profiles has led to a dramatic expansion, for better and for worse, in the issuance of structured securities. The creation and customization of structured financial products are of interest to pension funds, foundations, endowments, insurance companies, banks, investment intermediaries, and retail investors. This course introduces elements of structuring, pricing, and risk management of structured securities. The main topics covered in this class are: <\/p><p> Structured Products. Securities that combine financial instruments to meet specific investment objectives. <br> Securitization. Structured Investments backed by collateral, such as RMBS, ABS, CMBS, and CDO. <br><\/p><p>This course emphasizes the functional understanding of various structured products in engineer- ing risk exposures. <br><\/p><p><br><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul><br><li>100% written exam<\/li><br><li>class participation and optional group presentations for up to 2 bonus points. <\/li><br><\/ul><br><p>Attention: Students must re-enroll for the course in order to retake the exam<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>Textbooks <\/p><br><p> Sundaram, R.

to conceptualize and demystify the complex theme of financial innovation from multiple perspectives.<br>Firstly, an introduction to financial innovation would be provided to the students, leading to an understanding of the motives underlying the increasing adoption of technology-intensive tools and systems by businesses and end-users.<br>Secondly, an introduction to three (3) relevant and disruptive technologies revolutionizing traditional business processes in finance would be taught to the students. A special emphasis would be put on peer-to-peer networks and distributed ledgers, machine learning (ML) as a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing: <br>1) Through distributed ledgers, students would overall be exposed to an understanding of the Blockchain rudiments. <br>2) With regards to machine learning, an overview of the modelling tools would also be taught with the aim at raising a \u201ccritical-thinking\u201d mindset, while preparing the students to act as \u201cgenuine\u201d innovators through the design of innovative ideas relevant to their future career paths.<br>3) With regards to cloud computing, students would be taught its basics, and understand how different cloud models help in solving real business problems.<br>Eventually socio-economic analyses of financial innovations would be discussed during this module with the aim at raising an awareness, by the students, of the mutation of the financial ecosystem (incl. overall economy) and its corollary at human levels.<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        40% written exam<br>60% presentation                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p><br>Bibliography:<br><\/p><br><p>Both commercial and academic documentation.

class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        The standard paradigm in finance assumes that investors are rational and that their decisions are consistent with expected utility maximization. Behavioral finance suggests that deviations from this standard paradigm are possible; some investors are not fully rational or their choices are not consistent with expected utility maximization because they maximize their utility in a different way than proposed by the standard theory. Departing from the standard paradigm in financial economics, expected utility and the capital asset pricing model, we pinpoint anomalies that show up in the data from the real world and the laboratory. The course includes behavioral models of choice, noise trader risk, psychological biases, and lessons of bounded rationality that help to understand the divergence between observed behavior and the standard paradigm in finance. Finally, behavioral finance suggests nudges to overcome undesired behavior to gain efficiency.<br>Topics covered:<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Decision making under risk and uncertainty<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Intertemporal choice<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Efficient markets<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Behavioral biases<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bounded rationality and smart heuristics<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        100% final written exam<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Bibliography:<br><br>This course is not based on a single textbook but on academic papers.

Yunus (2006 Nobel peace prize), and replicated all over the world since then (including Europe and Luxembourg). Several European institutions (private, public, NGOs) are specialized in that field (ex.: Luxembourgish Ethical Funds, European Investment Fund, ADA, ADIE, etc.).<br>Microfinance encompasses (1) microcredit, (2) micro-saving, and (3) micro-insurance. This course insists on the main difficulties of traditional banking (e.g. commercial banks) to finance (or insure) poor entrepreneurs, despite their individual talents, or level of innovation.<br>The specific mechanisms of microfinance are them presented and analysed in detail: group lending, women empowerment, flexible approach to collaterals, impact on poverty and development, financial sustainability, managerial incentives, etc.<br>The reference book of this lesson is the seminal and renowned manuscript from Armendariz and Morduch, published at MIT Press\u00a9: The Economics of Microfinance.<br>During this course, the students are given the opportunity to prepare a take-home presentation on a subject (10 min. oral presentation, up to 2-students per group) of their choice about microfinance \/ finance and development.<br>Outline (depending on the pace of the class):<br>1. Introduction<br>2. The specificities of the credit market (the various forms credit markets)<br>3. Microcredit and Group Lending (information, mechanism, new contracts, women targeting)<br>4. Micro-insurance &amp; Savings<br>5. The impact on poverty and development (methodology issues, empirical findings)<br>[6]. Can microlending be sustainable? (the role of subsidies, two examples)<br>[7]. Incentives, management &amp; organization (case study, multiple objectives, incentives)<br>[8].

digital currencies. And for many it is still perceived as only a disruption on currencies. Crypto currencies or assets vs central bank digital currencies? What is the point? The domain has developed so much though that even if they may have a vague idea about all possible applications, it makes sense to take a crash course to know how this all works. However, one needs to get first the basic knowledge on money, monetary policy, the role of the European Central Bank, payment systems, their impact on our democratic principles and how all this works in all types of contexts, including in time of high volatility of these markets. These changes will be revolutionizing our daily lives and already impacting the functioning of our economies: over 134 countries &amp; currency unions aim at developing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and the digital euro in particular. This course will benefit from contributions of experts from the European Central Bank and from the European Investment Bank and go deeper on monetary policy, payment systems, digitalization and CBDC while gathering students \u2019views.\u00a0                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>35% &#8211; take home assignment (a short analysis and proposal on a subject that could be linked to a workshop)<br>35% &#8211; presentation (A PowerPoint presentation of a few slides)<br>30% &#8211; class participation (Active participation of all students is encouraged individually and in group works by students.

Understanding risk. We reconsider the concept of risk and guide students through the main classes of risks that are relevant in (financial) wealth management.<br>2. Measuring risk. We provide reminders of the main techniques used to quantify risks with a view to take wealth management decisions under uncertainty (risk).<br>3. Managing risk. We show students how to judiciously apply risk management techniques, having due regard to pitfalls and biases that commonly arise when decisions are taken under uncertainty.<br>4. Ensuring compliance with regulatory provisions. We teach the students the key regulatory requirements with respect to wealth and risk management and show them how to ensure compliance<br>5. Designing sound risk governance at the firm wide level.
