    Course details

    Course Description:

    This program examines the latest research on investment strategies. Although the program primarily focuses on quantitative strategies in equities, the basic principles can be applied to other assets and to the international arena.

    The program will expose investment professionals both to fundamental concepts in portfolio management and to cutting-edge research - including new research in behavioral finance. Starting with the building blocks of risk and return, the seminar discusses building quantitative strategies, assessing and controlling investment risk, implementing strategies, and minimizing trading costs.

    Participants will also tackle a case study designed around the use of portfolio software for asset management. The case study will illustrate the various methodologies presented during the program, including the use of factor models for asset management. The last day of the program is devoted to the increasingly important hedge fund industry.
