Description
We are proud to present Python for Finance: Investment Fundamentals and Data Analytics – one of the most interesting and complete courses we have created so far. It took our team slightly over four months to create this course, but now, it is ready and waiting for you.

An exciting journey from Beginner to Pro.

If you are a complete beginner and you know nothing about coding, don’t worry! We start from the very basics. The first part of the course is ideal for beginners and people who want to brush up on their Python skills. And then, once we have covered the basics, we will be ready to tackle financial calculations and portfolio optimization tasks.

Finance Fundamentals.

And it gets even better! The Finance block of this course will teach you in-demand real-world skills employers are looking for. To be a high-paid programmer, you will have to specialize in a particular area of interest. In this course, we will focus on Finance, covering many tools and techniques used by finance professionals daily:

Rate of return of stocks

Risk of stocks

Rate of return of stock portfolios

Risk of stock portfolios

Correlation between stocks

Covariance

Diversifiable and non-diversifiable risk

Regression analysis

Alpha and Beta coefficients

Measuring a regression’s explanatory power with R^2

Markowitz Efficient frontier calculation

Capital asset pricing model

Sharpe ratio

Multivariate regression analysis

Monte Carlo simulations

What makes this course different from the rest of the Programming and Finance courses out there?
