Written by Alexandros Maglaras | 21 May 2024

Asset management is both a science and an art. Like a science, all the facts are clear and readily accessible to all interested parties.

But the art of making sound investment decisions requires more than measuring and modelling data. Like an art, it involves a departure from cold scientific judgment, toward a multidisciplinary interpretation of data, trends, macroeconomics, geopolitics and herd psychology, while accounting for risk and uncertainty. The goal of a MSc Finance should be to prepare future professionals to analyze with rationality and interpret with creativity.
