Real Estate
This course will explore the use of derivatives by real estate investors. It will be divided into two sections. The first will teach students how to use derivatives - such as options, futures, and swaps - to transform various types of risk. Emphasis will be placed on how such securities might change the expected future cash flows from an underlying real estate investment. The second part will focus on how investors can use derivatives based on real estate indices to gain exposure to various real estate investments and markets. The class will explore the strength and weaknesses of various indices (CMBX, NACREIF, etc.) and the derivative securities based on those indices.
