Modalità di svolgimento
Generalmente si terranno tre lezioni a settimana, delle quali due saranno impartite in modalità frontale, e una in modalità “flipped classroom” con la partecipazione attiva degli studenti.
Teaching methods
There will be three weekly lectures. One lecture per week will be a "flipped classroom" with the active participation of the students.
Regolamento Esame
The exam will consist of an oral interview and a written test.
Students are expected to actively participate to the course, by working on weekly home assignements. The students will receive bonus points that will be added to their exam grade to get the final grade of the course. The bonus points will only be valid only until the end of the summer exam session.

fisso. Al termine del corso gli studenti avranno la conoscenza e la comprensione delle
convenzioni di mercato, degli strumenti analitici per i titoli a reddito fiisso e derivati, come i
futures Eurodollar e gli swap su tassi di interesse. Applicheranno la loro conoscenza e
comprensione a problemi prarici relativi ai mercati del reddito fisso, implementando modelli
su Matlab. Eserciteranno la loro autonomia di giudizio attraverso il confronto di diverse
possibilità di investimento. Affineranno le loro abilità comunicative illustrando le strategie di
trading, i modelli, e gli strumenti utilizzati. Acquisiranno la capacità di apprendere il
materiale del corso in modo indipendente.
Learning Objectives
The course provides a basic knowledge of the theory and practice of Fixed Income
Markets.
Upon completion of the course students will get knowledge and understanding of the
market conventions, of the analytical tools for fixed income securities and derivatives, such
as Eurodollar futures and Interest Rate swaps.
They will apply their knowledge and understanding to practical problems arising from fixed
income markets, often by developing their own code using Matlab. They will make
judgments by comparing different investment opportunities. They will enhance their
communication skills by explaining trading strategies, models and instruments. They will get
learning skills to understand the course material by independent study

Modalità di svolgimento
Lezioni in presenza con possibilità di seguire anche in remoto
Teaching methods
The lectures will be in-presence, but they will in general be broadcasted and recorded on the course web site
Regolamento Esame
La valutazione dello studente prevede compiti a casa con frequenza settimanale, una prova
finale scrittta e un colloquio orale.
Nei compiti a casa e nell’esame scritto finale viene richiesto di applicare la comprensione
della teoria alla risoluzione di problemi teorici e pratici, spesso tramite l’uso di codici
sviluppatli dagli studenti. La capacità di giudizio verrà valutata attraverso il confronto tra
diverse opportunità di investimento. Le capacità comunicative verranno verificate tramite
la prova orale e valutando la qualità delle prove scritte.
Exam Rules
Student evaluation consists of weeky assignments, a written exam and a final discussion.
The assignments and the final exam will ask to apply the knowledge to the solve theoretical
and practical problems, often developing their own computer code. The ability to make
judgement will be assessed by comparing different investment opportunities.
Communication skill will be assessed in the final discussion and in the quality of the written
elaborates.
