Work Schedule
A typical daily schedule includes morning sessions devoted to lectures, usually starting at 9:00 a.m. and afternoon sessions with further lectures and work on cases and projects, ending at approximately 5:30 p.m. The evenings are devoted to individual reading and preparation of case studies. A series of entertaining activities are organized for participants each week.
Suggested Preparation
It is recommended that applicants have knowledge of the theoretical foundations of portfolio management and financial engineering. A good command of standard PC applications (particularly Excel® spreadsheets) is needed. It is also strongly recommended that participants with a weakness in a required area take the pre-program course ”Fundamentals of Finance and Investments”.
Assessment
During each module candidates are assessed on their proficiency in the subject, either through individual or group tests or assignments. At the end of the program a global assessment is conducted covering the whole program. A group project is assigned which is to be completed during the program and presented in the final week. The Institute retains the right to disclose the global ranking of candidates at its discretion.
Diploma
Participants who have successfully completed the 4-week FAME Program, including all tests and the assigned project, are awarded the Diploma of Financial Asset Management and Engineering from the Swiss Finance Institute.
