This unit is important because it will both develop the knowledge of asset pricing you acquired on earlier finance units and apply it to real-world financial issues. You will develop tools of key importance in professional practice and in academic research. Taking this unit will improve your understanding of the principal approaches to portfolio construction and performance measurement and of the empirical research that assesses the value of active investment strategies in informationally efficient markets.

What you will learn will make you a more efficient investor and will remain with you whether you work in the financial sector or not. For example, it will help you make pension and other investment decisions having far-reaching consequences for the financial well-being of those you care about and your livelihood when you retire, decades down the line.

On successful completion of this unit a student will be able to:

Provide an account of the research evidence available on the performance of active managers and its limitations;
Analyse the sources of performance in a fund manager's returns;
Analyse how active and passive investment strategies may be rationally conducted within the same investment firm;
Appraise the challenges of active asset management in competitive asset markets.

Units you must take before you take this one: Principles of Finance (ACFI20001), or Asset Markets (EFIM20043).
