Financial Modeling

Financial modeling is a technique employed by institutional traders to make relatively big trades while they effectively manage their portfolios. It consists of employing the mathematics covered in Math and Statistics to build numerical models of a portfolio, and extend that to developing stratgies for making trades.

The Financial Modeling course teaches the very basics of how to do this work. You’ll need to have a basic understanding of how to use spreadsheets for some of this material. For other parts of the material a basic understanding of programming with the Python language is necessary. You should be confident in your understanding of the math and statistics used to implement these techniques, because you won’t be able to diagnose problems in performance of your financial models effectively without it.
