Description

Welcome to my new Udemy course dedicated to introducing the different Asset Classes.

I am Baptiste B., and for several years now, I have been working in the field of market finance in London. I have also been advising students, or people looking to get into trading for a long time, and one of the questions that comes up most often is: what are the specific characteristics of a given asset class? This course has a clear objective: to answer this question, and to present the different asset classes, their specificities, and to give examples to illustrate my point.

  • The Equity market
  • The Bond market and the Rates asset class
  • The Foreign Exchange market
  • The Commodities market
  • The Real Assets Class

This course is aimed at beginners, you will only need a basic knowledge of market finance, and a simple calculator. As this course is targeted for beginners, it will not go into complex considerations, but if I see that certain subjects are of particular interest to my community, I may take a look into this and upload other trainings.

Happy learning,

Baptiste B
