Semester Herbstsemester 2022
Angebotsmuster Jedes Herbstsemester
Dozierende Jacob Bjorheim (jacob.bjorheim@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn)
Inhalt The public sector (Central Banks, Sovereign Wealth Funds, etc) holds large portfolios of assets and is an active participant in global financial markets. The management of such investment portfolios involves decisions not only about their purpose, size and funding but also about which investment strategies should be applied.

This one-semester course focus on the practical side of managing investment portfolios from a public sector point of view. We will discuss the framework and policy set-up for such portfolios and in particular focus on how Central Banks manages their “Foreign Currency Reserves” in a balance sheet context. This activity has evolved rapidly since the turn of the millennium not only because of the accumulation of reserves (size) and the asset composition (asset allocation), but also as a direct outcome of the Global Financial Crisis and the COVID 19 pandemic.
Lernziele The purpose of this weekly course is to extend a student’s knowledge beyond traditional investment/portfolio/asset management practices towards the investment management function of the public sector and in particular that of central banks. With recent examples and case studies, the course enables students to understand how the public sector currently invests its portfolios.
Literatur Course material will be provided through the ADAM website. A general reading reference is (1) the publication by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS): “FX reserve management: trends and challenges”, and (2) specific, country relevant practices such as the publication: “Management of Foreign Reserves at the Central bank of Chile. In addition, we will read papers published in leading economic journals highlighting classic and contemporary thinking. Finally, since the topic of this course has a high degree of actuality and practicality, we will discuss, over the course of the semester, comments that we collect, ad-hoc, from newspapers, journals, blogs and central banks comments.
