Understanding Investing & Finance: A Journey In Space & Time




Understanding Investing & Finance: A Journey In Space & Time

Welcome!

Whether you are a current or a would-be student of finance or investment management, a graduate looking to hone your analytical and quantitative skills and prepare for your first job interview, or an investor wishing to develop a deeper understanding of fundamental financial concepts and apply them to your day-to-day decision making, this course is for you! 

Understanding Investing & Finance is more than an educational program: It is a fascinating journey through space and time in which you will meet many inspirational personalities - both real and fictitious - some towering greats in their field of study or endeavour, and sometimes, even beyond. You will learn not only about their remarkable tales and contributions but also their investment exploits and the decision-making process they adopt - and its consequences!

Our objective in developing this program is to demystify a subject matter that for many is shrouded in mystery! To achieve this, we use an innovative approach based on interactive learning, engagement and learner empowerment.

We believe optimal learning takes place when both hemispheres of the brain – and thus multiple sensesare engaged in the complex process of acquiring knowledge. Learning, therefore, is much more than just a passive absorption of facts or the one-directional flow of information; instead, it is a proactive, two-way and on-going process. Empowerment is then a function of the application of the knowledge gained to self-improvement.

We have developed our program by combining the intuitive with the cerebral in a methodology which integrates visualisation, analytical simulation and engagement to create a range of dynamic learning resources. With these resources, you can visualise abstract concepts in your mind’s eye; simulate them in real-life settings and with realistic examples; and engage with the study materials through our unique story-telling approach and our dynamic, interactive workbooks and spreadsheets embedded in the program. To these features, we have added an element of "play" to deliver an overall investment learning experience which is effective, enduring and fun.
