In addition to supervision by the Centre's Academic Director, Dr. Pei Shao, you'll receive guidance on trading activities from an advisory board comprised of external investment professionals, internal faculty members and legal experts.
Trading will be conducted by students enrolled in this course designed specifically for the fund. The course runs for two semesters, at the end of which you'll receive a final grade.
