Saturday 30 January 2016





My motivation level (out of 10) just fell to an all time low this January, mainly caused by the exams.
Also, I used to look forward to choosing the elective modules. But when I found out most of them had group coursework, it wasn't as exciting.



Figures for February onwards are estimated


F.Acc 2 is too hard.

Valuation/Analysis... seems related to M&A / IBD / CFA so it's useful. Downside is remembering the formulas / ratios.
Tax seems ok.
Financial Markets seems ok.
Asset Management: Useful, but most fund managers under-perform anyway.
Most actively managed European equity funds failed to beat their benchmark over the past decade

Risk analysis & modelling/ portfolio theory & valuation /derivatives trading & hedging- very similar, all group cw.
Financial Economics- group video cw. Take it if your maths is good. I would go just to learn more.
Personal Finance- group cw + presentations are too time consuming, but content is doable.
 Exam is too abstract/vague.
