The Postgraduate Program in Financial Markets: Portfolio Creation and Management at ISCTE met my expectations, offering a solid and structured overview of the main investment instruments and strategies. The practical approach, applying concepts such as risk-return analysis, diversified portfolio construction, and asset valuation, allowed me to consolidate knowledge that is directly useful for making financial decisions and communicating effectively on these topics. I would highlight the organization of the program and the contribution of the faculty, who successfully combined academic rigor with professional experience in the sector. Throughout the course, I felt I improved my ability to analyze different markets, assess investment alternatives, and better understand the fiscal and regulatory framework. Overall, it was a positive experience and aligned with the goals I set when I joined the program.

It was very rewarding to return to this institution where I earned my degree and previously completed two specializations that enabled me, throughout my professional journey, to develop work in the areas of Management Control and Corporate Finance. This postgraduate program gave me a broader perspective on financial markets and helped me better understand how they are all interconnected. I will continue to be an equity-focused investor, but I intend to expand the range of financial instruments I use, applying the knowledge I’ve acquired in a more conscious and informed way.

The range of investment products and services available on the financial market has never been as accessible to investors as it is today. By attending this postgraduate course, students will have the opportunity to acquire skills that will enable them to make informed investment decisions, either in partnership with their financial adviser or independently, both through the subjects taught and through contact with highly experienced teaching staff. For me, it was extremely useful, both personally and professionally.

The Iscte Executive Education Postgraduate Programme in Financial Markets, Portfolio Creation and Management was an extremely enriching experience, both academically and professionally. The course stands out for the quality of the lecturers, the practical approach and the diversity of the participants' profiles, which provided a dynamic and stimulating learning environment. The structure of the programme combines theory and practice in a balanced way, providing a solid grounding in financial concepts and the development of essential skills for investment analysis and management. The final assignment, which required collaboration and remote debate, was one of the highlights of the training, as it challenged the ability to work as a team and argue about market strategies. Overall, the course exceeded my expectations, strengthening my analytical skills and offering a more comprehensive and structured perspective on the financial markets, making it an asset for my professional career. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a solid and strategic understanding of portfolio management and the financial markets in general, in a simple and well-structured way. Thank you very much, Iscte Executive Education, for the knowledge upgrade you have given me.

The course was an excellent opportunity to deepen my knowledge of financial markets, covering topics such as derivatives, commodities and foreign exchange, which opened up new perspectives on investment diversification, as well as the inclusion of digital assets, reflecting the growing importance of this sector in the global economy. The structure of the programme provided a comprehensive and well-organised overview, with experienced and qualified lecturers who added a lot of value to learning. It was particularly interesting to explore new financial instruments and better understand the dynamics of the markets. Overall, it was an enriching course that contributed significantly to my growth in the field.

At this age I felt that there were gaps in my financial literacy training. We reach a point in our lives where we want to think about investments, think about the future, and at least I came to the conclusion that I had a lack of knowledge in the financial area that didn't allow me to evolve and that didn't allow me to sustain my investments. It was done purely from a personal perspective and I don't regret it at all. I take with me a very broad knowledge of what the financial sector is, what types of assets are available to people, whether in institutions or privately. I take away very clear about what I want and what I don't want. It was very rewarding because we also had contact with other people and it was a very positive experience.
For me, the Postgraduate Diploma in Financial Markets: Creation and Management of Portfolios was extremely important because it allowed me not only to gain new knowledge, but also to deepen some knowledge I already had, but above all, to understand in practice what it's like to create and manage portfolios. I think the great advantage of this postgraduate course is that the teaching staff is very available and always able to help us, to clear up any doubts, which allows us to evolve much more and, therefore, it's a great choice.

I did my Executive MBA here and came back to do a postgraduate course in Financial Markets: Portfolio Creation and Management. I came here out of a personal desire to learn, to be able to manage my portfolio of assets. Also to be able to have more confidence, more knowledge, to be able to work on things at a different level and to know what I'm doing. I leave here very happy, very satisfied, I really know how to work it, I know how to manage my portfolio. It was an investment, as I said, in personal training, not professional training. I recommend it for both of you, for anyone who really wants to know how to manage their assets or even because we learn this so that we can, if necessary, learn how to create and manage someone else's portfolio in our professional activity. So I'm really happy and very satisfied, my expectations were far exceeded.
