I recently completed the 'Alternative Investments' course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience. As a Japanese investor, I was keen to learn more about alternative investment strategies and how to apply them in my own portfolio. The course provided a detailed and nuanced exploration of the subject, covering topics such as venture capital, private debt, and infrastructure investing. I appreciated the emphasis on practical applications and the use of case studies to illustrate key concepts. The course materials were also of high quality, with clear and concise explanations of complex topics. One area for improvement could be the addition of more Asian-specific examples and case studies, but overall, I was very satisfied with the course and would recommend it to anyone looking to expand their knowledge of alternative investments.
