This course deals with portfolio theory and the pricing of financial assets. The students learn how to construct portfolios that are mean-variance efficient and how to evaluate portfolio strategies and performance. Modelling of uncertainty is central for valuing financial assets and will be covered in detail. This modelling will be used to value assets both by numerical methods and the martingale approach. The course also introduces the students to pricing using the stochastic discount factor. Known asset-pricing puzzles relating to the equity premium and the risk-free rate will be discussed. Finally, the effect frictions in financial markets have on asset prices will be analyzed.
