• BSPA-GB.2303Sustainability Value Creation in Private Markets (3)
  Course Description:
  
  This course provides an overview of the way sustainability (environmental, social and governance) factors are analyzed in private markets. It focuses on preparing students to implement their understanding of the financial and societal risks and opportunities within the investment making process. In private markets, limited partners (pension funds, endowments, high net-worth individuals) have pushed the sustainability imperative and social consciousness of private equity funds and asset managers by seeking greater clarity around how their money is invested in both a responsible and financially meaningful way. Alongside this trend, an evolving regulatory environment globally has propelled the need to systemize evaluation frameworks for stakeholders within investment functions and advisors who support them. Unlike public markets, sustainability information is harder to glean in private markets and requires a skilled extraction and evaluation process. During this course, we examine a traditional ESG due diligence process embedded within the wider investment lifecycle (sourcing, diligence, hold and exit) through the lens of changing geographic regulatory landscape in financial investing and the market leading frameworks that quantify ESG factors for evaluation. The course culminates with a deal due diligence process that mimics an investment committee (IC) comprised of private equity leaders that understand the commercial and purpose-driven viability of an investment.

  Course Description:
  
  A cryptocurrency is an emerging asset class representing the intersection of disruptive early stage technology, liquid capital markets and new use cases and business models. This class focuses on understanding the investment implications of the cryptocurrencies being created at this intersection point. As of December 2017, over 1000 tokens were listed on exchanges throughout the world with Bitcoin and Ether being the two largest in market capitalization terms. The total capitalization of cryptocurrencies expanded by more than a factor of 10 in 2017. This in turn has led to expanded media coverage and debate concerning cryptocurrency's role and value to society. The academic objectives of this course are threefold. (1) To explore the fundamental aspects of cryptocurrencies and the liquid markets they operate in (2) To test select psychological biases/heuristics associated with these cryptocurrencies and the regulatory dynamics overlaid on it and (3) To discuss practical implications of investing in these cryptocurrencies from limits to arbitrage to portfolio impacts across a range of asset classes.
