equips them with the conceptual and practical tools to improve the
organization of the investment process and risk management.
Certificate in Foundations of Risk Management

well as on the integration of investor needs and constraints in the
design of novel solutions for risk management.
This is a non-degree, certificate program of appeal to students in
finance, financial advisors, analysts and risk managers. All applicants
