Alternative Investments I

Description from DukeHub

The growth in alternative investments has been absolutely mind-boggling. Not so long ago, alternatives were seen as a source of returns with low correlation to the market at-large, this class of assets have, in many cases, come to reflect the market. This course is designed to provide a broad, foundational fluency on the topic of alternative investments. The objective is to provide students with the core understanding of the strategic drivers, the analytical wherewithal to perform key calculations, and the ability to connect the dots with what's going on in today's markets.
