Student Testimonials: This course offers incredible value.
Very rich content! This beats any finance course I've ever taken at my university.
I look forward to completing this course and using some of these skills in my career - Steven Cameron is an outstanding teacher.
Thank you so much for making the most important and difficult Finance concepts so easy to understand.
Looking forward to the post-Gevorg courses, I got (am getting) some insight into Quant Finance, not just learning facts without really understanding the concepts.
Cameron gives good detailed answers to student questions: Interested in a lucrative and rewarding position in Quantitative Finance? Are you a Quantitative professional working in Finance or a technical field and want to bridge the gap and become a well-rounded Quantitative? Then read on.
The role of a quantitative analyst at an investment bank, hedge fund, or finance company is an attractive career option for many professionals with quantitative skills who work in finance or other fields such as data science, technology, or engineering.
If this describes you, what you need to move to the next level is a gateway to the quantitative Finance knowledge required for this role that builds on the technical fundamentals you already master.
This course is designed to be exactly a gateway to the quantum world.
If you are successful in this course, you will become a master of Quantitative Finance and the financial engineering of the most influential class of financial products in the markets today: derivatives.
About the instructor: This course was created by a mathematician and financier with a Ph.D.
from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, and who got his quantitative skills on Wall Street after a successful career as a theoretical materials scientist.
Therefore, the focus of the course is very much on the practical skills that someone working in the real-world trenches of Finance must have.
But since the author of the course also has 10 years of university teaching experience, it is taught with a strong course structure and sensitivity to student concerns in mind.
What you will learn: Many Finance students and professionals consider derivatives to be the most challenging topic in their field.
But if you have a background in quantitative fields like statistics or computer science, this course will show you that these more daunting financial products are completely accessible to you.
Even if you are completely new to the world of Finance, after completing this course you will have a thorough command of the fundamental structures of derivatives that are traded in today's markets: forwards, futures, swaps and options.
But since this course is presented by a practitioner, you will also learn how derivatives are actually used in the real world, as tools for both speculation and risk management.
The world of finance and markets is fast-paced and exciting, but it can also be very intimidating.
In the heat of the moment, markets are volatile and unpredictable, positions go south in unforeseen ways, traders yell at you, computer software crashes, you're relying on data you can't trust.
Keeping your head above water in this environment can be next to impossible.
You need a conceptual framework that allows you to stay above the fray and keep your wits about you.
In this course, my main purpose is to convey that conceptual framework to my students.
The same conceptual framework that allowed me to survive and thrive in the pits of Wall Street during the dark days of the financial crisis.
Are you worried that you don't have the necessary background to be successful in this course? As long as you meet the formal prerequisites, you don't have to.
Quantitatively strong business experience is more than enough to meet these requirements.
Any decent course in statistics and the basics of calculus will suffice.
In reality, high school math is all that is needed for 80-90% of the course material.
The most important requirement is simply to think analytically and logically.
