Practical History of Financial Markets
Stephen Wright, Andrew Smithers, Peter Warburton, Gordon Pepper, Joachim Goldberg, Herman Brodie, Barry Riley and Russell Napier
Important lessons from history are often locked inside the heads of older practitioners. This course unlocks some of those lessons and gives fund managers a historical context to help interpret current events. Much more than just a chronology, it attempts to explain the factors behind the dynamics of financial markets in a historical context: valuations, regulation, taxes, development, the role of institutions, etc.
Topics covered
- Valuation in principle and practice.
- Monetary policy and asset values.
- Behavioural influences.
- Investing at different parts of the business cycle.
- Development of the fund management industry.
- Integrating the perspectives.
