The aim of the first seminar of the series, entitled “Multi-Asset Investment Management”, is to equip participants with practical tools to improve asset allocation and risk management decision processes, and to implement novel investment management approaches.
 
Emphasis will be put on real world examples of application and the development of problem solving skills using Excel-based portfolio simulation tools. These tools are suitably designed for use in the context of innovative forms of investment solutions:

• Efficiently harvesting risk premia across asset classes and within equity markets;
• Designing and implementing improved forms of target date funds;
• Designing and implementing goal-based investment solutions, with an emphasis on retirement solutions.

Participants can complete all three seminars and receive the prestigious joint Yale School of Management-EDHEC-Risk Certificate in Risk and Investment Management, or they can attend a single session that provides more focused study.
