JEM230 Advanced Topics in Corporate Finance (Claudia Curi, Free University of Bolzano)

Do you want to learn how companies raise debt? Did you ever wonder how the corporate credit risk is identified and managed? Attend a special 3-day course JEM230 Advanced Topics in Corporate Finance offered Sep 26-30, 2022, taught by Claudia Curi from Free University of Bolzano. The course will focus on what bonds are typically used by companies for funding and how the potential corporate default risk can be managed. We will also dive into a business case study showing how credit risk might be mitigated through hedging via credit derivatives.

On Friday, Sep 30, in the morning at 10:00 am, there will be a final online test (can be done from home).
