MGF 644LAB - Supervised Research - Fixed Income

Students will learn to conduct empirical research on fixed-income securities. The initial learning process involves a limited number of lectures on fixed-income pricing theory, followed by formal training on how to access data from fixed-income database(s). Using the above resources students will also build an investment portfolio for a given risk level. Students will then develop testable hypotheses that employ mathematical modeling, and develop and apply statistical analyses to data to test the hypotheses. Finally, students will develop and present a professional research report based on the empirical findings.
