Financial Markets (Undergraduate), 2018-24, NUS Business School [Syllabus]

Course Summary: This course is designed to give students a general understanding of the different financial markets and institutions. We will also discuss the financial assets traded in these markets, the financial services and instruments these institutions offer, and the mechanisms and characteristics influencing the value of these assets and instruments. Some of these details can be country specific. For the topics whose cross-country differences are important, we will combine a generic description that apply internationally with context-specific discussions focused on Singapore, the U.S., and China.

Course materials are available on the Canvas platform.

Course Summary: The course is a rigorous, quantitative introduction to financial market structure and financial asset valuation. The main topics of the course are arbitrage, portfolio selection, equilibrium asset pricing (CAPM), fixed income securities and derivative pricing. There is a small section on project valuation. You are expected to understand valuation formulas and be able to apply them to new problems. The appropriate tools necessary for solving these problems will be developed at each stage and practiced in the homework assignments. The models we will cover have immediate applications and implications for real-world financial decisions. Every effort will be made to relate the course material to current financial news.
