NBA 5470 - The Short End of Alpha


Spring. 1 credit.

R. Marin.

This course will focus on the elements of the asset management industry that most critically add to success, but that are outside the traditional realm of investment strategy. It is generally understood today that risk is comprised of many elements and includes a significant component of operational risk. There are operational elements of the investment process that clearly add or detract significant value from returns just like operational risk can add to or detract from overall risk. These operational elements that add to return can be called operational alpha and the more mature a market or investment strategy becomes, or the more difficult the return environment, the more important operational alpha becomes.
