Description

This course gives an introduction in Quantitative and Corporate Finance. Participants will acquire knowledge of widely used derivates in the balance sheet management of pension funds and insurers, like futures and swaps. Subsequently, different option contracts (European and American call options) and the option valuation method based on binomial trees will be introduced. This knowledge forms the starting point of the standard model of quantitative finance; the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Corporate Finance part of the course addresses questions such as: which investment projects are optimal to undertake? And how should firms and their investment projects be financed? To this end, topics as capital structure, cost of capital, investment return measurement and dividend policies are covered.
