Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

In recent years, new techniques called data-driven finance have been introduced in financial business. New investment methods such as machine learning, alternative data and HFT (high-frequency trading) are utilized for trading in financial markets. Furthermore, the relationship between listed companies and institutional investors is undergoing changes. There is a growing need for management responses that focus on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors, human capital management, and awareness of stock prices and capital costs. This includes addressing shareholder proposals, engagement strategies, and market communication. In this lecture, we will invite practitioners working at the forefront as guest lecturers and provide lectures on practical aspects of data-driven finance and capital market strategy.
