About the Masterclass
This Masterclass aims to comprehensively understand financial crises from academic and practitioner perspectives, focusing on past and recent crises in Asia. Participants will learn about the causes and evolution of financial crises and the key lessons learned from them. The session will also cover the impact of crises on financial markets and what this means for the future, explore the incentives, disincentives, and biases on Wall Street and how they affect capital market participants' behaviour. Participants will learn about the equilibrium (or disequilibrium) pricing of financial assets and how market participants' behaviour can influence it.
The Masterclass will delve into the basics of capital markets: understanding why capital markets exist, their functions, and the needs of their players. The session will also cover financial product design and which financial products and structures, such as equities, bonds, hedge funds, derivatives, private equity, real estate, and annuities, meet the particular function defined by the needs of its players.
