comparison of financial instruments
'Effet' has a lot of meanings, but I think in this case it means 'financial instruments', it is a course comparing the uses, advantages and disadvantages of various financial instruments.
Effet is also often translated as 'bill', as in the financial instrument 'treasury bill' or "trade bill".
Specific instrument with 'effet' are:
effet- (financial) instrument, bill of exchange
effet de commerce- commercial paper
effet au porteur- bearer instrument
effets à payer- notes payable
effets à recevoir- notes reeceivable
I confirmed 'instrument' as one translation in my Ménard's Dictionnaire de la Comptabilité/Gestion Financière.

If you look under the entry for 'effet' in the link to the on-line Wordreference dictionary, you will find "instrument' and "bill' in the "additional translations" section. Although it says it is 'legal', it is also used in finance.

Wordreference says "comparability' instead of "comparison" for 'équivalence'.
équivalence (adéquation) nf comparability

I should also have mentioned that the word 'effet' is also commonly used for short term financial instruments used in the management of companies' finances and thus is congruent with "short-term financial operations".

I found several business math course descriptions that used this term. Probably should have rated this "I am sure," but I always leave room! Some courses combine "equivalent notes" with "consolidation of notes," and according to the definition in French, the first is calculated generally in order to bring abou the second.
