This course presents an overview of modern investment topics. We will start with a survey of the financial markets and the common quantitative technique to value a range of financial instruments. Once the basic blocks of valuation tools are established, the course will discuss the portfolio construction process and risk management with derivative and time series analysis. The course will use Python Jupyter Notebook to illustrate the concept and build visualization for effective communication. By completing the course, students will be able to conduct exploratory data analysis independently and leverage their programming skillset with real-world financial case studies.
