of the relationships among the variables of
financial problems. A well-designed financial
model captures the interdependencies among the
variables at hand and makes it easy to answer
"what-if" questions. This course will build on
Financial Modeling I and tackle more advanced topics
such as portfolio models, event studies, VaR
(value at risk) analysis, option pricing, portfolio
insurance, real options valuation, immunization
strategies, and term-structure modeling, and help
the students gain the necessary competencies
in building appropriate financial models for each
case. The aim is to get the students to
the skill level where they can model and solve most
financial problems they will face
in the business world.

MFIN 806 Behavioral Finance |
1.5 Credits |
Behavioral finance is a relatively new but quickly
expanding field that seeks to provide explanations
for people’s financial decisions by combining
behavioral and cognitive psychological theory with
conventional economics and finance. Neoclassical
economists assume that; i) all individuals act
rationally to maximize their utility for both monetary
and non-monetary gains, and ii) markets are fully
efficient and prices reflect all available, relevant
information. However, in reality these assumptions
often do not hold. Behavioral finance helps explain
why and how markets might be inefficient, why
people are imperfect processors of information and
why they are often subject to biases, errors and
perceptual illusions.
CFA exam curriculum devotes more and more
weight to behavioural finance every year. Portfolio
managers, investment advisors, consultants, CFOs
and individual investors must have an in-depth
understanding of different behavioral biases and
their impacts on financial decision making.
This course aims to be a guide to understanding the
fundamentals of behavioral finance and reasons and
impacts of irrational investor behaviour. Throughout
the course, we will cover psychological biases that
effect the financial decision-making process and
examine their impacts on financial markets and on
people’s lives.
The course will be supported by real-life case
studies, analyses of investor behaviour, cases of
behavioral interventions to modify investor
behaviour and interviews / Q&A sessions with
investment practitioners.

MFIN 807 Venture Capital and Private Equity |
3 Credits |
Private equity (PE) refers to investment funds organized
as limited partnerships that invest in public and private
firms using various strategies such as leveraged buyout,
growth capital, mezzanine capital, venture capital etc
Typical investors in PE are large institutional investors
and wealthy individuals. Venture capital (VC) is a
subcategory of PE concentrating on investments made
in less mature, early stage companies. The PE market
has grown significantly since 1980s and has become
one of the most important financial markets globally.
This course will introduce the methodologies used in PE
finance and employ the case method to study PE deals.
PE is a great lab to study important topics in finance
such as capital structure, corporate governance,
valuation, asset allocation, organizational restructuring.
Throughout the course, PE market is going to be
discussed from the perspective of different agents
including entrepreneurs, PE fund managers, and the
investors in PE funds. The course is going to start with
early stage investments in VC market. The objective in
this section is to analyze a VC opportunity from a
qualitative and quantitative perspective. Later, we will
discuss private equity and leveraged buyout
investments in large companies. In the last part of the
course, we will study investments in PE funds and
issues related to structuring PE funds.

MFIN 862 Derivatives & Risk Management |
3 Credits |
This course serves as a comprehensive introduction
to derivative securities and financial risk
management. Naturally, forward contracts, futures,
options, and swaps are the focal point of the course.
While the main emphasis is on the use of derivatives
as risk-transferring/minimizing devices, valuations of
such contracts are also included. A solid coverage of
no arbitrage based pricing is provided as the common
underlying premise to valuing derivative securities.
Therewith, cost-of-carry valuation of forwards and
futures, , binomial pricing of options, the Black-
Scholes option pricing formula, and swap pricing are
introduced. Also, the emphasis is on how derivative
securities are used against common risk factors such
as interest rates, exchange rates and credit risk. In
addition to hedging strategies to be created by any of
the derivative securities, various other trading
strategies involving options (spreads and
combinations) are presented. Topics such as delta-
hedging and portfolio insurance are also covered.
