Different dimensions of social impact \u2013 Environment, Social, and Governance \u2013 are discussed along with corresponding ESG metrics available to investors. The core of the course deals with the integration of (quantitative-based) portfolio allocation models with (qualitative-based) ESG scores and objectives. The course also discusses how impact investing may affect the behavior of firms, as well as alternative channels through which investors can provide impact (private investments, activism). <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-4-font-size\"><strong>Corporate Risk Manager<\/strong> P<strong>ath Elective Options<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"collapsible-group course-list wp-block-amp-course-list\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"collapsible course\">\n\t\t\t\t<button\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"fe870-toggle\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"collapsible__toggle\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-expanded=\"false\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-controls=\"fe870-content\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"collapsible__icon\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"collapsible__heading\">Analysis and Management of Financial Risk <\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"fe870-content\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"collapsible__content\"\n\t\t\t\t\trole=\"region\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-labelledby=\"fe870-toggle\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"collapsible__body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course__code\">COURSE CODE: fe870<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course__description\">This course introduces the analysis and management of risk in the context of financial institutions.

This course exposes students to, and de-mystifies, the PE world. The focus is centered on LBOs and their position in the alternative asset class. Students learn about the activities of PE firms including formation, fundraising, investing (deal structure, terms, due diligence, governance) and exiting. We also discuss how other industry sectors serve or are affected by PE and who the players are. This is a capstone course that integrates marketing, strategy and finance to further the understanding of business evaluation. Case study and class participation are the primary modes of learning.
