Quantitative Investing Methods

Description

Quantitative investing uses data and rules rather than intuition, and this course covers the main methods in fourteen PDF lessons. It starts with the fundamentals and the statistics and probability that finance relies on, then introduces financial data analysis with Python.

You read how a first trading strategy is built, how risk management and portfolio optimisation work and what factor models and signals are. Later lessons deal with backtesting on historical data, options pricing and derivatives basics, volatility modelling, machine learning in finance and algorithmic execution. The course ends with a complete system, case studies and next steps. It is educational and gives no investment advice. After reading, you should understand how a systematic strategy is designed and tested.

Who it is for: investors with some maths or programming comfort who want to understand systematic, data-driven strategies.
