Graduate Certificate in Mutual Fund Management

Build your analytical skills. Fuel your propensity for innovation.

Mutual fund management is integral to how individuals and organizations prepare for the future. Consider the mutual fund that supports millions of retirement accounts. Another mutual fund may sustain a research and development effort of a biotech or pharmaceutical company. On an individual level, a mutual fund may secure a family’s ability to save for a home purchase.

Individuals with the knowledge and experience to build and maintain a portfolio of assets to accomplish the long-term aims of the mutual fund are highly valued across the globe. To become this leader, you need to master the technical skills of an investor and appreciate how markets and organizations function across economies.

This program prepares you for roles where you will manage other people’s money. With a deep classroom emphasis on a fund’s investment policy statement and asset allocation plan as well as methods to measure and manage risk, you will learn from respected practitioners with field expertise, real experience in fund management, and strong connections to the field.
