I really enjoyed this course, instructor Vash often replied to me when I asked for assistance.
But there is one thing that I did not like, in the verification tests at the end of the lesson, especially in the calculation ones, instead of giving the answer with the elaboration there was a link to the lecture only.
I found this a weakness in the course.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ege Basok
Gosh, It is definitely above expectations. I bought 4 more investing courses along with this course and refunded them all. They were all talking about senseless topics like why they love the stock market or how they started trading/investing. If you wanna get directly to the topic buy this course without hesitation it may be shorter than the other courses but as we all know quality > quantity.

Deepak Hotwani
Well planned and structured, being a Finance major, this was a great refresher. Lots of concepts, strategies are covered in this course. One thing which I felt could have been better was the way latter half of the course covering derivations and formulae were explained. It could have been explained in a simpler manner algebraically. Apart from that, I would highly recommend this course and look forward to learning more from Fervent. Cheers!

Its good, but Ive been stuck for 2 weeks after the quiz and the instructors are unwilling to help. “thats how you learn” but Im not. I cant even get them to tell me which lessons I can find solutions in. I get it, they want you to figure it out. But after a certain point, its just a waste of time and I cant complete the course.

Wade Greninger
This course is a great match for me. I’m learning quite a bit about measuring risk and returns of stocks. While I’ve been using these tools in my own investing, I’ve been merely using them without understanding how they are calculated and what they really mean. The presentation of the information is excellent. It’s not too fast and not too slow. The teacher really knows what he is talking about and it shows in his ability to relay that information to the viewer.

Upon completion of the course, I’d like to compare it to another Finance course I took from a different learning platform. This course is such much more applicable to investing. The layout of the course flows perfectly; it doesn’t seem as if anything is missing in the presentation. The teacher, Vash, is absolutely excellent in his enagagement with the student. I’m looking forward to taking a couple of more courses from Fervent.

Absolutely excellent. The structure of this course might seem to be frustrating because of all those big quiz and assignments but these elements have totally helped me in retaining most of the stuff.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Armiya
This was amazing! In class, we are some what crammed with information, so we miss these important pieces of information that is detrimental to our learnings for courses that we have actually taken for school and for our real world professional growth. It is important to understand the relationships between value, risk, and expected return. I think this will help me in interviews and in my own professional career when managing portfolios. Absolutely amazing! Broken down in simpler terms and key factors that one must remember in their own professional life to be the best analyst.

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reshma Unni Krishnan
Course delivers more than the expectation. I would recomend this course to the following herds.
A. Anyone who would like to analyze his/her own porfolio

C. Anyone who is curious to interpret a data.

Carter Hutcherson
I had taken a portfolio management class in my fourth year of university and used this course as a means of studying for my final exam. All the concepts were presented very clearly and each step of excel was presented in a comprehendible way for beginners not only investing, but also excel. Great starter course for learning to invest. However, my biggest learning experience is that it is very easy to beat the market on a single stock basis, but it is even more difficult to beat the market on a portfolio basis. Don’t ignore these market ETFs, make them a part of your portfolio. Diversification is great, however, if you’re not confident your portfolio will beat the markets return then don’t think investing in that S&P500 ETF is a bad thing, most hedge fund managers I know aren’t using any breakthrough methods of investing.

Ly Nhat Minh
In overall, the course provided a good overview of some of the most basic and frequently used approaches in portfolio theory. The instructor’s explanations are clear and straight, but lacks a bit of humor so, depending on the listeners, the course may be a little bit too overwhelmed. In addition, the course features some rigorous equations which could take those who are not well-versed in basic calculus and algebra by surprise. In addition, the course proceeded on the basic that learners are somewhat familiar with basic finance terms, so prospect students should seriously consider this fact before choosing to enroll. It’s important to note that the quizzes and the assignments are very well-designed, providing students a chance to put the new equations and theories into practice. This course is undoubtedly a recommended basic course for those who are looking to step into the world of finance or investing.

A great course! It contains everything that is needed- from the very beginning to the most complex aspects of the topic, but everything is explained in a simple, absolutely clear and easy-to-understand way. I had previous knowledge on the topic before taking the course, but it’s also suitable for beginners, since the instructor takes you step-by-step through all otherwise complex formulas which he makes easy to understand by applying sheer logical reasoning. The course abounds in practical, real-life examples and exercises which I strongly recommend doing in order to get the hang of the skills taught in each section. Additionally, Vash is very responsive to students’ questions and always willing to help.

This course is an introduction to portfolio management. Students will learn how to estimate the expected returns and risks of assets based on historical data and forecasts using some classical models, and then assemble a diversified portfolio. The authors of the course outline the basic steps of the portfolio management “pipeline” and give references which facilitate further familiarisation with the subject.

The course does not require any preliminary knowledge in mathematics. As a corollary, presented models are the most simple. In particular, portfolio optimisation problem is not considered at this point. However, the course administrator kindly provided convenient references on this subject by request.

I advise this course to everybody who is interested in a gentle introduction to portfolio management.

I really enjoyed this course. I enjoyed learning the math behind the formulas. (The mathematical formulas are broken down through proofs, so that one can see the logic behind them. Using this method, I was better able to understand their uses.) And I really improved my Excel/Google Spreadsheet abilities.
