Top Hat AFM courses 1 point, 3 comments

“Does anyone know how many courses in AFM use Top Hat? I'm trying to decide which subscription length I should get (1 year or 4 years)”

u/InstantlyNeat: “… AFM 273: Financial Instruments and Capital Markets AFM 321: Personal Financial Planning AFM 326: Student Venture Fund I believe I've purchased a TopHat subscription on a per-class basis rather than opting for a multi-year subscription.”
