Brief Introduction

A Quick-Start Guide To Understanding the Most Important Concepts of The Financial Market

Description

Welcome to Fundamentals of Financial Markets. This course presents a beginner's overview of how the financial system works. This is not an investing course or a course on financial management. You will not learn how to calculate the present value of an annuity or select the perfect stock to invest in. Rather, you will learn how the system itself works. We will be looking at how the financial system functions and what makes it tick. Some of the questions that will be answered include:

How does a company go public and create an IPO?
How can futures contracts be used to hedge against market uncertainty?
How are stock brokers different from dealers?
What role does the Federal Reserve play in the financial market?
What laws govern the financial system?

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of the most important concepts related to the financial market. Everything in the course is explained in detail to enable student success and understanding. This course is designed to help you succeed. In addition to the in carefully explained video lectures, each video lecture has an attached PDF Slideshow Resource, and each section has a quiz to help check your understanding of the concepts.
