Cryptocurrencies are a unique new asset class, which burst onto the world stage during 2017 with sharp rises in price. Cryptocurrencies were at first poorly understood and can still be a confusing concept. We tackle the question of what are cryptocurrencies in the first lesson in this course, which outlines how they are created and administered, and what they represent. This first lesson also looks at blockchain technology, which is at the heart of all cryptocurrencies, and reviews how risky and volatile cryptocurrencies naturally are.

The second lesson asks why cryptocurrencies could be interesting for both traders or investors, with a special focus on traders. The lesson looks at the statistical principle of volatility clustering and infers that there is likely to be a great deal of price movement in the major cryptocurrencies over the near term, as well as reviewing the profits which early investors in significant disruptive technologies have made over recent decades....

Traditional wealth management/ PFM world was shaken with the advent of so-called “robo advisors” in recent years. ‘Robo-advisor’ is a generic term used to describe a new class of investment advisory service that is offered online, is automated and based on algorithms. This new class of advice started as an offering to occupy the space between self-directed (DIY) investors and human financial advisor recommended investment advice. Further, it was considered an ideal advice vehicle for digital savvy millennials. While several robo-advisor startups entered the PFM marketplace, only a few remain standing and have cumulatively attracted only a small fraction of the overall investable assets. But, these robo-advisors have had a bigger impact on the industry. They have forced traditional investment advisory firms to evolve and provide automated, low-cost investment advice options. Further, robo-advisors have themselves evolved to cater to the B2B market as well as to other areas like retirement plan advice and education plan advice. All this only goes to show that automated advice is still is in its nascent stages and is here to stay in one form or another.... [-]

The JOBS Act, or otherwise known as the Crowdfunding Act, has been passing into law since 2012 with the most recent development, Regulation CF, enacted in May of 2016 which has opened up investing in privately-held businesses to the average investor. Previously, only the wealthiest individuals that had $200K or more in annual salary or $1MM+ in net worth, could partake.

This is analogous to tapping into the “other 96%” of US investors as potential sources of startup capital, which brings forth a new financial instrument to enable small and midsize businesses (SMBs) to raise their working capital from their own personal and professional networks or investor networks sourced via a crowdfunding portal or broker-dealer. There are many applications of crowdfunding in today’s marketplace such as tech startups, real estate, cleantech, tourist attractions, computer games, music bands and product companies to name a few....
