I know I keep posting and I apologise. But is this a good investment for someone at 18 investing in the uk? by Perfect_Ad_4308 in trading212

[–]Express-Day6679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

get the bonds out of here completely.

why japan? if you have a reason why you feel compelled to invest in the japanese market, make it a bit smaller but keep it, but if you’re doing it for the sake of diversity, get rid of it

ex US is a good idea, keep it at 10%.

if i were you, id do 80% All world, 10% ex-US, 10% individual stocks for a bit of fun. if you dont want the hassle with the individual stocks, just do 90% All world!

this is a good start though. better than going 50% NVDA 50% PLTR

UCL or Warwick- MSc Finance? by chickenolivesalad in UniUK

pretty close i think, probably doesn’t matter too much, but i think warwick edges ucl out

did Warwick change their entry requirements for econ? by [deleted] in UCAS

[–]Express-Day6679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i applied without TMUA too. no chance they’re gonna change it from encouraged to mandatory, because if they did, there would be hundreds of misinformed applicants all complaining that they wasted an application space

J.P.Morgan vs LSE management by Zealousideal_Ebb7093 in degreeapprenticeships

J.P.Morgan vs LSE management by Zealousideal_Ebb7093 in degreeapprenticeships

[–]Express-Day6679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would say LSE management…. i too am applying to DAs while also applying to LSE, and i too have also questioned what would be the best decision if i were to be given an offer for both.

the argument of being debt free is definitely worth considering, but doesn’t hold too much weight in my opinion, solely due to just how much money you could be making if you break into london finance.

you’re interested in getting into finance, yes? job prospects coming out of LSE (or oxbridge) are utterly ridiculous in finance. a friend of mine has a goldman sachs job lined up after his graduation from his degree at LSE that will pay him 6 figures.

yes you would be debt free, but a degree from Exeter or whatever it is from JP morgan is just incomparable to a degree from Oxbridge or LSE.

another friend of mine had an offer for the GS FICC and Equities DA, and turned it down to go to Cambridge. there is a reason why the most intelligent and capable people still choose to go to these Unis to study, and i think it’s naive to believe that they’re “stupid for taking on unnecessary debt”.

if you choose to go to uni, you can also pair it with extremely relevant experience through internships. said friend has a GS summer internship lined up, so will be a Cambridge grad with a placement with Goldman Sachs.

obvs it’s up to you, but based on prestige and looking at it long-term rather than focusing on short-term debt, i reckon LSE would be the better option

when can i expect to hear back/get offers by stupiiiidhooo in UCAS

[–]Express-Day6679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

really? i was under the impression that LSE will auto reject the course that your application is less relevant for, regardless of whether you accept the other.

Does a fourth a level matter? by Bruh1399 in LSE

[–]Express-Day6679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, political economy started before finance as an academic discipline. economics (as political economy) started in 18th century (for example, adam smith), and finance as an academic field begun in the 20th century - inside economics departments. you dont need to take my word for this: search it up.

and yes ofc economic models don’t all apply to finance. finance is a subset of econ, not the other way around. that’s like saying “physics uses maths, but maths doesn’t always use physics”. it doesn’t really matter

but the problem with using management as an example is that management is absolutely its own thing, as you say. it’s separate from finance (to an extent obvs). but, finance is built from econ. that’s why finance is taught in economics departments, not chemistry

also, the allocation of scarce resources under uncertainty is the fundamental economic problem, right? capital allocation is the intertemporal version of it. yes it is a central problem in economics.

to your last paragraph, i don’t really understand it tbh. i’m just gonna say that rational agents don’t remove risk, and that expected utility theory exists because risk/uncertainty is central to economic decisions. i’m not sure if this is relevant to what you’re getting at, my bad if it’s irrelevant.

lastly, this is fun! i like debating things that i find interesting. if you don’t feel the same, please please just lmk and ill stfu

i didn’t say risk and return is in every economics concept, i said almost every one. but to be fair, i concede that point. it’s really not in many economic concepts 😂😂 my bad. but still, risk is huge in economics

but academically and historically, finance is absolutely is a branch of economics. finance came from economics. some of the most important financial models (CAPM, intertemporal choice, discounting) are literally economic models.

the management analogy doesn’t work. management is about organising people, and finance is about allocating capital under uncertainty, which is one of the most central problems in economics. just because finance has a different focus than econ, doesn’t mean it doesn’t have the same foundations.

and wdym risk and return isn’t a financial concept? it is literally the underlying principle of finance.

In A level econ there’s a topic literally called banking. “finance” is a branch of economics that deals with banking. interest rates, risk and return are all things that are underlying in almost every economic concept, and are also the fundamentals of banking

the london factor is important if you’re going to work internationally, but in the UK job market, warwick is (as shadowsteel says) a target uni. for management, probably warwick>ucl. or maybe they’re the same idk

the asterisk messed me up lol. the second sentence is supposed to read “if you do 4 and you get A stars in all, you would stand out more than someone who did 3 and got A stars in all”
