One-Day Short Course for Lecturers in HE
by Professor A J Lawrance of the University of Birmingham
The course gives an overview of what might be taught in a 'Statistics in
Finance' course based at medium second year mathematical and statistical
levels. Financial background is not assumed and the topics treated begin
with ideas of the present and future values of money in financial
legislation and everyday use. Financial return is considered for investments
such as stocks and bonds. A major part of the course is concerned with
developing the statistical fundamentals of investment diversification, the
balancing of expected return and risk, though portfolio analysis of stock
market data.
