You need a basic understanding of statistics and algebra (not more than High school)
Description
What is this course about?In this 1 hour crash course I am going over the whole process of setting up a Portfolio Optimization with Python step by step. I am doing it hands on showing all calculation steps besides to get the best understanding of all steps involved possible.You will learn:- How stock returns are calculated and why log returns are used- How to pull stock prices and calculate relevant metrics- How to calculate Portfolio Return and Variance (/Portfolio risk)- How to compare a Portfolio of weighted assets with single assets- How to build a whole Optimization by minimizing the Sharpe Ratio (risk adjusted return)- How to build a Optimization from scratch (besides using a solver)- How to split your dataset so that you optimize on seen data and test on unseen dataWhy should I be your constructor?I got years of experience coding in Python both teaching but also several years of actually working in the field.Besides currently working in the field I wrote my Master Thesis on a quantitative Finance topic and got a YouTube channel teaching Algorithmic Trading and Data Science hands-on tutorials with over 75.000 subscribers.Why this course?This course is giving you a non-time wasting hands-on approach on Portfolio Optimization with Python.Any questions coming up?If you got any questions please feel free to reach out! I am happy to hear from you.
