Learners will analyze financial markets, evaluate banking and insurance risks, and explain how pooled funds support diversification. They will examine market, credit, operational, mortality, longevity, and catastrophic risks and understand how institutions manage them.
The course covers banking rules, mortgage pools, underwriting, advisory services, and loan distribution. It then explores life insurance, property and casualty insurance, pension plans, mortality tables, premium calculation, catastrophe bonds, and regulation. Learners also study pooled fund structures, net asset value, management costs, performance, returns, and the basic role of derivatives.
What makes this course unique is its combined view of banking, insurance, and investments. Learners see how products, institutions, rules, and risks connect instead of studying each area separately. This approach builds practical financial literacy, product knowledge, and analytical skills for careers in banking, insurance, investment analysis, financial services, and risk management. It also supports better decisions when comparing financial products and institutional risk practices.
