Finance is a broad term encompassing various things about the study, generation, and distribution of funds. All these elements are included in finance but they are often treated as a single field with different subtopics. For instance, there is investment fund management, which looks into how funds are invested and thus managed. There is also wealth management, which looks into how assets are distributed to different beneficiaries.

Finance has three distinct sections: Public Finance, which is that part of finance that impacts the taxation of citizens and their properties; private finance which is concerned with the financing of investment and other forms of non-financial businesses such as businesses that earn income from rent or other labor performed; and finally investment finance which is the section that focuses on the purchase of financial assets such as bonds and stocks. A good understanding of each of these sections is required by anyone seeking career advancement in finance. Finance graduates will therefore need to have excellent academic achievement, professional qualifications, and work experience in finance. They should also have extensive knowledge of taxation especially National Insurance contributions and be familiar with the different types of tax schemes.

The study of finances is an important aspect of public and private sector business. This is because it is here that budgets and monetary policies are formulated, approved, and implemented. Finance graduates, therefore, need to have a good grounding in budgeting science as well as good managerial skills. They may choose to specialize in one or more of the different fields of finance to enhance their knowledge and proficiency.

One of the specializations in Finance, which is gaining popularity at the moment is derivatives trading. Derivatives are contracts for financial gain, which are normally securities. An example of a derivative is a stock, which becomes the security for a particular amount of money given at a specific time. A bank can issue derivative instruments to its clients, to hedge their risk exposure. The major use of derivatives is in the financial systems and finance. For instance, a bank may use derivatives to protect themselves from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Another specialization in Finance is international financial management. In this field, you will have to assess the risks involved in dealing with currencies, interest rates, and other aspects of international trade. International financial management deals with long-term planning and strategies for managing risks associated with international trade. You will also have to learn about how international banking and financial services work. You may be involved in financial research work or quantitative analysis.

If you are interested in finance, you could become a financial analyst, financial planner, wealth manager, or wealth consultant. Financial planning is the process of working towards a goal by making calculated financial models. Your models are typically based on current real-time information. With financial modeling, you can project future returns for a variety of investment opportunities and then help your client set up appropriate investments. The main advantage of wealth management and wealth optimization plans is that they provide a comprehensive solution to a wide range of complex problems.
