The practice of investment management has been transformed in recent years by computational methods. This course provides an introduction to the underlying science, with the aim of giving you a thorough understanding of that scientific basis. However, instead of merely explaining the science, we help you build on that foundation in a practical manner, with an emphasis on the hands-on implementation of those ideas in the Python programming language.

TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION AND ANALYSIS WITH PYTHON
I am self taught in Python and have an industry background in Finance. This course was a good connector/provided additional insight on using Python to process portfolio performance and data analysis.
Awesome Course, Great instructors that give a nice balance of theory and practice, the practice is very hands-on and will help you understand the theory and give you useful tools from the first week.
Enjoyable course. One has to be conversant with basic Phyton to follow this course. What I learnt the most is the ability to use Phyton coding to demonstrate the concept of portfolio investment.
The course is particularly useful for people with a finance background to learn how to model a complex process using python. Lecturers are very knowledgeable and step-by-step guide in teaching.
About the Investment Management with Python and Machine Learning Specialization
