Introduction
Risk is one of the most important concepts in investing.
The famous risk-returns relationship, where a higher potential return means taking on more risk, is a balance all investors must strive to strike.
In Portfolio and Risk Management, a Coursera course offered by the University of Geneva, students learn how to effectively manage risk alongside other key concepts in portfolio management.
The course is led by academics at the Geneva Finance Research Institute including Michel Girardin, Tony Berrada, and Rajna Gibson, and also features experts from the bank UBS.
Among the topics covered are how to measure risk, how the relationship between assets in your portfolio can reduce risk, and when to adjust your portfolio if you think the market's wrong.
