Course Learning Objectives

The aim of this subject is to familiarise students with private banking and how it works, exploring the two key factors which help to determine a private banking client¿s investments: financial and fiscal.

Thus, on the one hand, we will carry out in-depth analyses of the different types of assets and investment vehicles used today in wealth management, and, on the other, explore the different taxes affecting investors, determining the impact these have on investment decisions.

The goal is to develop students¿ ability to analyse different assets and financial products as well as select appropriate investments for different investors and market conditions.

Assessment criteria

Students¿ knowledge will be assessed by means of a written exam.
The practical case studies aim to evaluate how well students are familiar with the financial and fiscal issues addressed, as well as their ability to analyse and make choices in settings which allow for more than one possible option.

The final exam (consisting of open-ended, theoretical and practical questions) represents 60% of students¿ final marks for this subject.
Case study resolutions represent the remaining 40% of students¿ final marks.
Attendance and class participation are equally important.
