Why You Should Take This Course

This course has everything you need to know about equity indices and buy-side asset management. You'll learn how indices are constructed, explore the business of mutual funds, and cover the growing role of ETFs.
  • Understand how equity indices are constructed Equity indices drive investors' views on market sentiment. In this course, we explore how they are constructed, and build our own custom index. We explore the impact of weighting and rebalancing on the index, and how a move in one stock will have a different impact in the Dow, the S&P500 and the Nasdaq 100.
  • Demystify buy-side asset management Whether you are seeking to work at an asset manager, cover an asset manager as a salesperson, or hire an asset manager as an investor, we explore the business of mutual funds. We analyze their menu of strategies, the benchmarks they track and their fee structures.
  • Discover how banks profit from ETF arbitrage It is no secret that investors are shifting assets from mutual funds to ETFs. ETFs have grown enormously in the last decade because they are cheap to operate and pass on low fees to investors. In this course, we show you how banks profit from trading the ETF versus the underlying stocks in the ETF.

This course is part of the Equities Markets Certification Program, a complete course that teaches you the skills you need to succeed as an Equities Markets Trader on either the Buy Side or the Sell Side.
