Given André's comments, let's put this course into perspective. If you are planning a career in the alternative space, it is clear how understanding the strategies and skills required to succeed will be useful. But many of you probably won't go to work for a private equity company or a hedge fund or manage a piece of real estate. Why did this module start with those ideas, then, instead of starting with portfolio management?
a) To emphasize the importance of alternative career paths
b) To provide a comprehensive overview of the finance industry
c) To illustrate the diversity of opportunities within the field
d) To highlight the challenges faced by professionals in the finance sector
