    Nice Experience

    This course helped me to understand what hedge fund is all about and through this course I especially understood how to analyze the different stock funds and how to demonstrate the analyst skills. This course is more than 20 hours that include all the aspects of the area that helped to learn more about the hedge fund.

    Hedge Funds

    Hedge Funds course is very learning oriented and it gave a lot of insights about the scenario right now and how to approach towards any hedge with in-detailed calculations. Each course is described so clearly and it is an enriching experience. It should have been better if the doubt clearing session is planned with this course.
