Portfolio Management and Asset Allocation in Private Equity and Venture Capital (IFTE0015)

The module provides an overview of the asset markets and their allocations to Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC). The module objective is to address fundamentals of asset valuation and modern and alternative valuation methods (such as APT, multi-factors models, binomial model and Black-Scholes) the sensitivities of these values and how these valuation methods are applied to PE and VC investments. Conventional portfolio management will be reviewed and extended to consider three main topics as applied to PE and VC: Portfolio Construction, Investment Monitoring and Exit Management. Relevant practical applications will be analysed in the classes to achieve a deeper and ‘learning by doing’ understanding of PE and VC.

The module aims to equip students with an understanding of the asset markets and their allocations to Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC). Students should be able to apply knowledge of valuation methods and the variables that impact these prices to portfolio management, including portfolio construction, investment monitoring and exit management. Using case studies, students will have the opportunity to learn through the process of applying the material.
