Description
Portfolio Management – FINA20203A.H2022
Introduction to the different aspects of portfolio management, specifically to issues related to assets management (strategic, tactic and dynamic), and to investment strategies of portfolios that include stocks, fixed income securities and derivatives.
This course aims to teach and apply the concepts introduced in FINA 20201A introduction to investments and FINA 20210A Futures and Options. Some of the subjects that are covered include, among others, the process of portfolio management for individual and institutional investors, modern portfolio theories, hedging portfolios strategies, investment styles et strategies. Asset valuation and portfolio composition are also examined. As part of a team, the student must elaborate an investment policy statement for a fictitious client and manage his portfolio in a simulated environment.
Objectives
The course Portfolio Management complements the course Investments by exploring various issues underlying asset management. This is the most fundamental attribute of any professionally managed portfolio. Even if most of the concepts presented in class are specific to portfolios consisting of shares or stock market indices, the majority of these concepts apply to a wide variety of financial asset categories. In this course, students will become familiar with fundamental concepts of portfolio management including efficient frontier portfolios, multifactor models, financial asset pricing models, market efficiency and the performance evaluation of professionally managed portfolios.

3 – Portfolio Management Simulation (in teams) (30 %)
Location : In class / At home Submission : Paper
Term : Written
Work Mode : Team
Description
See section: Portfolio Simulation (on the Course Organisation tab) for more details.
Each team of 4 students will be tasked with the management of a portfolio initially composed exclusively of cash. Based on members’ research and investment skills, each team will build a diversified portfolio that will be rebalanced throughout the simulation period. The investment universe includes equities, exchange- traded products and derivatives traded on Canadian, US and certain other foreign exchanges (see list of available products on ). Given the low liquidity and the limited number of bonds available on Stock Trak, you will need to use other financial products to get an exposition to the bond market. All transactions and transaction confirmations are completed on the Stock Trak website. The main types of transaction orders are allowed (limit sell, short selling, buying on margin, etc.). The rules of the simulation are very close to those of the brokerage firm; they are available on the simulation management website. The registration fee for the simulation is approximately $30 per team.

The simulation is not a game. It is a process of learning about financial markets and implementing an investment policy of an individual investor that the members of each team will have jointly developed. Therefore, the evaluation of the simulation will be done not only on the basis of the performance obtained but also and especially on the basis of the analysis and implementation of the needs of the client.

Description
Instructions
Each team will be composed of 5 students and will be mandated to manage a $500,000 portfolio (initially all cash). Through research and using the teammates analysis abilities, each team will build a diversified portfolio that is theirs to rebalance as they see fit, over the course of the simulation. The assets available to invest in will be all those provided to you by StockTrak .
If you have questions during the simulation, they will be answered in class. To ensure that there are no teams that benefit from privileged information about the simulation, and for information that is consistent for everyone, no questions will be answered outside the class sessions (neither email nor in person). Prepare yourself in advance to ask your questions at the beginning of each class.
Should you still need to ask an email question, make sure that all your team members are included in your email.
Registration Here are the steps to register: Have a credit card for registration.

You will need to choose a team name (Username). The name of the simulation group is: HECMtl-GestionPF-H2022 (Registration link) Finally, you should know that you can get in touch with Stock Trak’s customer services if you have any questions. Note that we are not responsible for any errors that may occur during the simulation regarding the processing of orders by Stock- Trak or for any mistakes that may be caused by a misunderstanding of the functioning of the markets by the students.
