Do you want to know how global financial markets work? Do you want to become knowledgeable regarding different asset classes, master the investment management process, and know how to build up an investment portfolio? Then you are a candidate for the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) "Make Smart Investment Decisions in a Global World", offered by the University of Geneva.

The reach of publicly open online courses is on the rise—and SFI faculty is engaging with this mode of education too. The Tribune de Genève examined the MOOCs offered by University of Geneva and found out that the one on investment management—designed by SFI professors Tony Berrada, Ines Chaieb, Martin Hoesli, Philipp Krüger, Kerstin Preuschoff, Olivier Scaillet, and other colleagues—is the most popular, experiencing remarkable success since its launch in 2016:
