Students of the Master in Finance enjoy the masterclass “Theory vs. Economic Reality” with David Cano

Last week, the students of the Master in Finance had the privilege of attending a masterclass by David Cano Martínez, General Director of AFI Global Investments.

During the session, David offered a clear and structured view of the current macroeconomic environment, the functioning of financial markets and portfolio management, combining theoretical analysis with a very practical perspective based on his extensive professional experience.

Highlights of the session

David emphasized during the masterclass: “In an environment of high inflation and uncertainty, the real risk for the investor is not volatility, but failing to take the necessary risk to protect their long-term purchasing power.”

The main topics covered were:

The analysis of the economic cycle and its impact on financial markets, focusing on inflation, monetary policy, growth and interest rates.

The connection between economics and markets, and how different macro scenarios translate into financial assets.

Portfolio management with a global vision, emphasizing the importance of diversification, asset allocation, and risk control.

The role of the professional manager, where discipline, method, and strategic coherence make the difference in volatile environments.

Conclusion

A masterclass that allowed students to connect academic theory with the reality of the markets, reinforcing their training with a practical vision of the asset management sector.

Thanks David Cano and AFI Global Investments for sharing knowledge and experience, and congratulations to the students for their active participation.
