An understanding of economics is vital, as economics impacts the flow of money, prices, investment markets, and availability of resources (amongst many other factors), and thus plays an extremely important role in investment planning.

The purpose of this course is to equip the financial advisor with core knowledge and understanding of economic and environmental factors and risks that impact investments, as well as provide a basic understanding of the typical underlying asset classes (investment instruments) that are used in investment portfolio-building for products such as long-term investment policies, retail pension benefits, pension fund benefits, collective investment schemes and hedge funds.
