Course details
Machine Learning Fundamentals: This unit provides a comprehensive introduction to machine learning, including supervised and unsupervised learning, regression, classification, clustering, and neural networks. It lays the foundation for more advanced topics in AI and portfolio optimization. •
Portfolio Optimization with Markowitz Model: This unit focuses on the Markowitz model, a widely used framework for portfolio optimization. It covers the concept of expected return and risk, portfolio diversification, and the optimization of portfolio weights. •
Black-Litterman Model: This unit introduces the Black-Litterman model, a Bayesian approach to portfolio optimization that incorporates investor views and market expectations. It provides a more nuanced understanding of portfolio optimization and its application in real-world scenarios. •
Risk Parity and Alternative Portfolio Optimization: This unit explores risk parity, a portfolio optimization approach that aims to allocate risk equally across different asset classes. It also covers alternative portfolio optimization techniques, including those using machine learning and factor models. •
Factor-Based Investing and Portfolio Construction: This unit delves into factor-based investing, a strategy that focuses on identifying and exploiting specific factors that drive stock returns. It covers portfolio construction techniques, including those using factor models and machine learning algorithms. •
Machine Learning for Portfolio Optimization: This unit applies machine learning techniques to portfolio optimization, including regression, classification, and clustering. It covers the use of machine learning algorithms to optimize portfolio weights and predict future returns. •
Volatility Modeling and Portfolio Risk Management: This unit covers volatility modeling techniques, including those using GARCH and EGARCH models. It also explores portfolio risk management strategies, including those using value-at-risk (VaR) and expected shortfall (ES). •
Sustainable Investing and ESG Integration: This unit introduces sustainable investing and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) integration into portfolio optimization. It covers the use of ESG factors in portfolio construction and risk management. •
Alternative Data and Portfolio Optimization: This unit explores the use of alternative data, including social media, sentiment analysis, and other non-traditional data sources, in portfolio optimization. It covers the application of machine learning algorithms to alternative data. •
Case Studies in AI for Portfolio Optimization: This unit applies the concepts and techniques learned throughout the program to real-world case studies in AI for portfolio optimization. It provides a practical understanding of how to apply AI and machine learning to portfolio optimization.
