Levels

This course is designed for individuals who have a solid grasp of investment management fundamentals and seek to learn more. It is assumed you already understand the basic principles of portfolio theory, performance evaluation, risk and return, and are already familiar with the primary vehicles for employee benefit plan advisors.

While there are no formal prerequisites for this course, those without the above knowledge will most likely find the Advanced Investments Management curriculum too difficult and are encouraged to register for the more basic Portfolio Concepts and Management program.
