Hi everyone!
Well, I have to write my proposal and the specialization path i've chosen in my Msc in investment banking.
I was thinking about fixed income trading but there's nothing I can add up to the subject so I changed my mind and I have been trying to read about "risk management practices in financial institutions" but I am not sure on how to connect them all, I mean, I don't know how I could formulate a hypothesis out of that...
Any suggestions about topics or ideas are welcomed
Best regards.
Greeting Javier,
I remember writing dissertation. My tutor told me, hypothesis usually in form of question/s that help in investigating.
Relation between fixed income trading and investment banking- could be one possible hypothesis.
A good selection of methodology should answer hypothesis.
Well, finance is not my subject so, I'm afraid can't help you much. :D
Wishes!

Hi,
Well yeah, I know the hypothesis is formulated as a question, the problem is when formulating that question.... As I don't have tutor/supervisor until I handle in my proposal I don't know which direction I should take from the beginning... Right now I have to write my proposal and it has to be 4000 words... I don't want to waste time reading and writing 4000 words about something that can be rejected when they give me a tutor/supervisor :s
This is why I am listening to any suggestions... :D
Regards
I'm not sure what you mean by "add up to the subject." And do you really need to connect them all? The correct approach has to be based on what is inspiring you to go into this field. What is it? Some people are passionate about education as the salvation for humanity, and others are passionate about psychology so we can understand ourselves. What drives you?
Whatever it is, it's where your energy is. Do not try to formulate a hypothesis. Just read some great, recent articles related to these two interests you mentioned.When you read the articles, some of them will probably give an overview of the current state of some aspect of investment banking. That is your way in. Get in touch with an aspect of investment banking that fascinates or motivates you.
Then, get very knowledgeable about the research methods available to you. You'll have to do a lot of reading! :-)
The goal is to get knowledgeable enough about research methods that you are able to easily choose a good one to use to solve a real problem or improve practice in your field.
thank you for the comments... I've started to read as much as i can.
Regards,
Javi
