Mathematical Finance: Risk and Investment Evaluation

The course “Risk and Investment Evaluation” is taught for the purposes of the master degree program on "Applied Accounting and Auditing". It concentrates - in an advanced level - on the appraisal methods of investment decisions, on kinds of risk deriving from the exploitation of such investments, as well as on the decision of taking the appropriate measures for the avoidance of bearing investments’ risk. The kinds of risk analyzed are the systematic risk which is dependent on macroeconomic variables and difficult to be diversified and the non – systematic risk which is underlined to microeconomic variables and the level of risk can be better diversified. In such context, the analysis of the course penetrates in the sense, concept and role of the time value of money and the separation of the interest of investment movements.  The level of market’ interest is dependent on the degree of capital structure of business and – in turn – alters the investments risk and the return.
