Assignment: Financial Risk and Reward
Pathbuilder is being used in this course and this discussion is currently locked. Prior to beginning work on this discussion you must complete the Types and Rates of Return, Risk and Measuring Risk, Measuring Return, The Capital Asset Pricing Model, Portfolio Betas, and Return modules in the RealizeIt platform. Once the modules are completed and this information has been transferred into the course gradebook this discussion will unlock and you will be able to submit your initial post to the forum.
(Please note that some modules will have prerequisites that must be completed first. You are highly encouraged to start your RealizeIt work early in order to ensure that you have plenty of time to successfully complete all required modules prior to the due dates for your assigned work. If you do not complete any work in the RealizeIt platform, the grade returned from RealizeIt will be a Zero.)
