Complete summary of investments + practice exam questions at the back. This summary made me obtain a score of 17/20 on the exam. Every concept is explained simply and in full, without unnecessary fuss and BS explanations. A lot of explainations are in dutch. But it is no problem if you are native english, as the different components can be easily translated into English.

These are my lecture notes written out properly and in a summary for the exam of investments.

This document is up to date (2022-2023) and is a summary of the slides + notes + graphs of the Investment class (1st Master).
