Introduction to capital markets

It seems that anywhere we look, everyone is talking about capital markets or topics referring to them: tax reform, international unions, government policies, etc. In this course, you will learn what capital markets are, delve deeper into an understanding of its key players, and get insight of the different financial instruments being used: stocks, bonds, future, forwards, and options. We’ll also discuss alternative investments such as private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, and real estate, as well as cryptocurrencies.
