Excellent course for understanding the basics of investment. However, you do need some calculus and python programming background for the course to be effective.

Excellent course. Lionel and Vijay were both superb. The quality of finance instruction beautifully complemented the Python coding seminars. Highly recommended!

amazing course. I never thought diversification has its limits in the way you described. But I did observe it in real life. this is an exceptional course.

Fantastic course, with the Python labs going into great depth in their implementation of the financial theory. Looking forward to the remaining courses

It was a decent course. Went deeper than I expected so I would not say that it is really for beginners. Python labs were interesting and really useful.

Pretty great course. Bit hard to finish towards the end. Both profs were great, however towards the end both of them were not on the exact same track.

This MOOC is one of the best out there with respect to applied investment management and portfolio construction. Well done and thank you sincerely!

Great course. Liked the lectures and lab. Looking forward to the rest of the courses in the specialization and to improving my Python coding skills.

Eventhough, I'm new to python programming. I'm able to follow and make better understanding how we're efficiently perform LDI and CPPI simulations.

Excellent, dense and extremely well presented, with just the necessary amount of theory and huge emphasis on the practical application in python.

The course is very well explained, it starts from basics and it progress rapidly into more advanced topics portfolio theory and risk management.

An in depth explanation of CAPM and risk measures like sharpe and drop-down , with excellent explanations of the accompanying Python notebooks.

Excelente curso. Tanto las lecciones teóricas como las prácticas son bastante claras y llevan de la mano al estudiante. Muy bien estructurado.

one of the best investing courses out there. so exited to keep on going with the specialization. huge thanks to the lab instructor especially.

very nice videos (espacially the short theoretical ones and nice animations). Maybe the codes on jupyter could have more written explanations

The lab session were amazing especially how it's done in a way those with little to no knowledge of python can be able to understand it.

Very good course to apply finance knowledge with python. You need a good basis of finance and python to make the best out of the course

Excellent Course in order to get basics of Python applied to investment and risk management. Excellent Teachers! I highly recommend it!

excellent way of teaching...its like attending a class room session. Mr Vaidyanathan in particular explains various aspects in depth..

One of the best video lectures which was conducted by Mr. Vijay which take you along the journey of Investments as part of a storyline

An excellent introduction to portfolio construction and analysis. Professor Vijay is outstanding at going through the lab sessions.

The inclusion of python coding makes this a valuable and practical course. I particularly liked Vijay's real time coding approach.

Very good course to learn how to build and optimize portfolios. I would totally recommend it for Python and Finance beginners!

I am particularly a fan of the lab sessions in the course. It is a great course both in the practical and theoretical front
