About the Course

The practice of investment management has been transformed in recent years by computational methods. This course provides an introduction to the underlying science, with the aim of giving you a thorough understanding of that scientific basis. However, instead of merely explaining the science, we help you build on that foundation in a practical manner, with an emphasis on the hands-on implementation of those ideas in the Python programming language. This course is the first in a four course specialization in Data Science and Machine Learning in Asset Management but can be taken independently. In this course, we cover the basics of Investment Science, and we'll build practical implementations of each of the concepts along the way. We'll start with the very basics of risk and return and quickly progress to cover a range of topics including several Nobel Prize winning concepts. We'll cover some of the most popular practical techniques in modern, state of the art investment management and portfolio construction. As we cover the theory and math in lecture videos, we'll also implement the concepts in Python, and you'll be able to code along with us so that you have a deep and practical understanding of how those methods work. By the time you are done, not only will you have a foundational understanding of modern computational methods in investment management, you'll have practical mastery in the implementation of those methods....

Awesome Course, Great instructors that give a nice balance of theory and practice, the practice is very hands-on and will help you understand the theory and give you useful tools from the first week.

I am self taught in Python and have an industry background in Finance. This course was a good connector/provided additional insight on using Python to process portfolio performance and data analysis.

Very useful

The content was very well taught in week one, but the end of week test was FAR too advanced considering the supporting lectures. The content then seems to be quite disparate when you try and solve problems for yourself in python during the test.

The theory content is really good but the learning classes of Python does not help much. Should be more teaching on what is being doing while programming. Most of the time it is a code copying video.

I did not like how the programming in Python was made. It was very hard to follow as I regularly had issues and for instance I never managed to get ipywidget. I would have like for an help section for errors and for the course to be more regularly updated as to avoid this problem when downloading ipywidget for instance.

Moreover, I lament the lack of constructive thinking during the course, we had to do everything outside the course and never had any tips during the exams or little steps as to how to get the right answer.

Overall, I do not think it will be useful.
