Quantitative Finance with Case Studies in Python A Practical Guide to Investment Management, Trading and Financial Engineering 2nd Edition

Quantitative Finance with Case Studies in Python: A Practical Guide to Investment Management, Trading and Financial Engineering bridges the gap between the theory of mathematical finance and the practical applications of these concepts for derivative pricing and portfolio management. The book provides students with a very hands-on, rigorous introduction to foundational topics in quant finance, such as options pricing, portfolio optimization and machine learning. Simultaneously, the reader benefits from a strong emphasis on the practical applications of these concepts for institutional investors. This new edition includes brand new material on data science and AI concepts, including large language models, as well as updated content to reflect the transition from Libor to SOFR to bring the text right up to date. It also includes expanded material on inflation and mortgage-backed securitie, more trade ideas embedded in each chapter and also via a dedicated chapter analyzing a set of derivatives trades. There are additional examples throughout based on recent market dynamics, including the post-Covid inflation shock and its impact on risk parity strategies. Overall, the new edition is designed to be even more of a practical tool than the first edition, and more firmly rooted in real-world data, applications, and examples.
