Course details
•
Machine Learning Fundamentals for AI-driven Portfolio Optimization: This unit provides a comprehensive introduction to machine learning concepts, including supervised and unsupervised learning, regression, classification, clustering, and neural networks, which are essential for building AI-driven portfolio optimization models. •
Portfolio Optimization with Markowitz Model: This unit focuses on the traditional Markowitz model, which is a widely used framework for portfolio optimization. Students will learn how to calculate the optimal portfolio weights using the mean-variance model and how to apply it to real-world data. •
AI-driven Portfolio Optimization using Black-Litterman Model: This unit introduces the Black-Litterman model, which is an extension of the Markowitz model that incorporates expert opinions and market expectations. Students will learn how to use machine learning algorithms to estimate the expert opinions and market expectations, and how to combine them with the traditional Markowitz model. •
Risk Management and Volatility Control: This unit covers the importance of risk management in portfolio optimization. Students will learn how to measure and manage risk using various techniques, including value-at-risk (VaR), expected shortfall (ES), and stress testing. •
Portfolio Optimization with Alternative Investments: This unit explores the application of portfolio optimization techniques to alternative investments, such as private equity, hedge funds, and real assets. Students will learn how to incorporate these alternative investments into a portfolio and how to optimize their performance. •
Machine Learning for Factor-Based Investing: This unit introduces the concept of factor-based investing, which involves identifying and optimizing portfolios based on specific factors, such as value, momentum, and size. Students will learn how to use machine learning algorithms to identify and extract these factors from large datasets. •
Portfolio Optimization under Non-Standard Market Conditions: This unit covers the challenges of portfolio optimization in non-standard market conditions, such as market crashes, regime shifts, and extreme events. Students will learn how to use machine learning algorithms to detect and respond to these conditions. •
AI-driven Portfolio Optimization using Evolutionary Algorithms: This unit introduces evolutionary algorithms, such as genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization, which are inspired by natural selection and evolution. Students will learn how to use these algorithms to optimize portfolios in complex and dynamic environments. •
Portfolio Performance Evaluation and Attribution: This unit covers the importance of evaluating and attributing portfolio performance. Students will learn how to use various metrics, such as Sharpe ratio, information ratio, and attribution analysis, to evaluate portfolio performance and identify areas for improvement. •
Case Studies in AI-driven Portfolio Optimization: This unit provides a practical application of the concepts learned in the previous units. Students will work on real-world case studies to optimize portfolios using AI-driven techniques and present their findings to the class.
