My job at a U.S. based multi-employer pension plan, overseeing domestic U.S. and non-U.S. based public investment lent well to the programme, which focused on international investing and currency management.
Topics of special importance to me included international asset allocation, exchange rate theory, and foreign currency hedging – all of which were presented in a thoughtful and professional manner. Fellow students were diverse, ensuring quality discussions from multiple points of view.
This is one of the finest courses I’ve experienced, including my undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate studies. I would recommend it to anyone who works in the investment field, specifically within international investing, or who strives for personal growth and enrichment from a quality institution.
