This course, following Advanced Topics in Mathematical Finance A, will explain global investment strategies making use of mathematical finance.
By the end of this course, students will know how to build a stochastic process model of asset returns using probabilistic analysis and solve the problem of maximizing expected utility using the discrete time model and the continuous time model.
