Portfolio Management

In this presentation, we will explore vital concepts that are the building blocks of quantitative portfolio management. We will discuss the mathematical expression of expected return and risk on an investment and how they are used. We will examine weights within a portfolio and how risk is minimized while compromising as little as possible on expected return. Building blocks of the several-security model will direct us towards multiple interesting insights as well as lay the foundation for the beta factor and the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

Contemporary Parable Project

Jesus often communicated spiritual or theological truth through parables. The details of the parables were contemporary to the original hearers in 1st Century Palestine. Students have created modern-day parables that teach similar spiritual or theological truth to the parables of Jesus. The following parables will be on display: “The 10 Virgins,” “The Good Samaritan,” “The Pearl,” “The Banquet,” “The Sower,” “The Prodigal Son,” and “The Lost Sheep.”
