The course lacks compatibility with the rest of the Specialization. It is tremendously hard and there is no orientation or guidance. Thanks to the support of some colleagues I might be able to finish it. But I ask myself if the extra work was really worthy.

2 stars because of the relevance and deepness of the subject.

It certainly doesn't represent other courses from the same university.

Excellent course and very good approach for a project to evaluate the learning of the other modules. This is probably the best course of the specialization, as is not only a test, but a simulation of a real life application to help make clients undestand the importance of diversification in portfolio management.

This course is very demanding and require high level of concentration with total attention to be able to complete the capstone assignments and project but will deliver practical capability in financial analysis for investment purposes.

The course was good, but lack of support when I needed. My questions were not answered and had to find out by myself wasting a lot of time.

Very good introductory course in finance. The skills and resources provided in this course are very helpful to people working in technical field. The instructors were did were outstanding in explaining the course material. I learnt a lot from all the courses and always looked forward to the next course.

The project is very interesting although I have already built several asset allocation models in the past. I do not like the session structure of the capstone. I have to wait 1 month to start and therefore pay another month's subscription just to wait. This is very annoying.

Its a great course on building portfolios, portfolio optimization and concepts around managing risk while doing so. There is extensive use of excel in practicing above concepts and applying it in real life scenarios which I really liked about it.

I enjoy the lectures. The professor has a good speaking and teaching style which keeps me interested. Lots of concrete math examples which make it easier to understand. Very good slides which are well formulated and easy to understand

Really interesting course. I especially enjoyed the capstone project, which had a lot to do with portfolio construction in the real world. There are many real-world applications for this course and I highly recommend it!

Excellent course that covers a variety of topics in risk and modelling. The capstone project was also key in understanding and presenting the risk/return relationship from a portfolio investment point of view.

Good course that helps understand different considerations to take into account when creating models. Well laid out Capstone project to help understand portfolio diversification and Optimal Portfolio.

Really a great set of courses to understand and apply models to many different scenarios. I was able to use the skills I learned right away in my profession. Would definitely recommend.

Great lesson of managing a portfolio. Sufficient education of good risk management techniques. The process was very intuitive and much of fun. Again I feel great to have taken it.

This was a great opportunity to get practical experience about calculating the optimal risky portfolio as well as understanding the importance of Portfolio Diversification.

This context of this capstone was great. I was able to learn about finance and apply the tools that I learned in preceding courses to complete this project successfully.

课程设置的很好，引导学生自主从公开信息渠道获取信息，并根据现代金融理论，以Sharpe ratio最大化构建自己的资产组合。最后的大作业可以锻炼学生的综合能力，包括数据、论点、论据的组织，展示材料的制作。另外，审阅其他同学的作业有助于帮助整理自己的知识点。非常感谢制作方和老师用心的制作，感谢审阅同学的辛勤劳动！

Much higher quality than the previous courses in this specialization.

Involve a lot of new knowledge which is not contained in previous lectures.

This course is a great way to get working knowledge of financial models and efficient frontier portfolio investing. Highly recommended!

Excellent capstone to review and put in practice all the learned in the past courses. Excellent course to be a invesment manager.

Outstanding and you get to apply everything you learn from all previous courses and apply it here to the capstone.

A course that tests your complete understanding of all the courses in the specialization.

Go to core points in Financial Modeling and great knowledge to apply into reality.

This is a very helpful course which help me apply what I learnt into practice.

Excellent course, great learnings. Applicable to real life practice.

This is much more challenging than the previous courses!
