Financial Investment Principles

In line with my 2024 new year’s resolution, on November 26th I’ll be taking a course on financial investment principles offered by The University of Oxford and delivered by Konrad Kleinfeld.

There are two aspirations behind taking this course. The first one has to do with personal growth. And the second one with my professional aspirations. Addressing the former of the two, with the very first pay check one receives, there comes the responsibility of administering those acquired resources. I’ve never been formally introduced to finance, and I believe that knowing at least the basic aspects of it can help anyone greatly with this task we are all confronted with. Of course, one can live life spending all the money one makes in clothes, trips, technology, restaurants, you name it, but knowing there are other things out there to explore is what drew me to this course.

On the other hand, addressing the latter of the aforementioned aspirations, since I work in a bank, getting to know some of the technical vocabulary, and the inner workings behind how the business is conducted, could potentially propel my career, or at least help me build a stronger foundation onto which continue to build my future.
