Investment Management - Unit 3

Determining your investment management policies and making your action plan.

Welcome to Unit 3 of the Both/And Finance Investment Management Course!

Before you start this unit... please make sure you've completed Unit 1 here and Unit 2 here.

To begin Unit 3... use the link below to create a copy of the Unit 3 Activities Checklist:

Copy: Unit 3 Activities Checklist (aka your "HW Handout")

Save this checklist to your course folder and use it to track your progress throughout the unit.

Next, proceed through the videos and activities on the rest of this page.

Viewing Notes - 1) You can turn on closed captions by hovering over the bottom right corner of each video. 2) You can also change the playback speed - I like 1.5X speed or higher, personally. 3) These videos seem to work best in Chrome, on a computer (rather than a phone).
