Yale campus (New Haven, CT)
March 25 - 27, 2019


Course Overview
Investors are increasingly turning to alternative investments to find new ways of enhancing the performance and decreasing the risk of their portfolio, in a context where the benefits of diversification within traditional equity and bond portfolios have declined. Broadly speaking, this seminar shows how to deal with non-Gaussian returns, illiquid assets, and flawed data. It also presents qualitative and quantitative techniques to control asset-class exposures, and manage liquidity, valuation and counterparty risks for portfolio-wide decisions involving alternatives.
