Description:

**Analysis of Investment and Financial Assets** is a specialized subject in finance that focuses on evaluating various investment avenues and understanding the behavior of financial assets. It includes in-depth study of instruments such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, derivatives, and real estate. The course emphasizes both fundamental analysis, which examines the financial health and intrinsic value of an asset, and technical analysis, which focuses on price patterns and market trends. Risk and return trade-offs, diversification, and portfolio management strategies are also critical components, enabling investors to make informed decisions based on their financial goals and risk tolerance.

This subject prepares students to assess the performance of investments using tools like ratio analysis, time value of money, Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and modern portfolio theory. It also includes insights into efficient market hypothesis, behavioral finance, and asset pricing models such as CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) and APT (Arbitrage Pricing Theory). Understanding how to analyze investment opportunities and financial instruments is crucial for careers in investment banking, wealth management, financial consulting, and equity research. It empowers individuals to maximize returns while managing financial risks in a dynamic and global financial environment.
