Module Outline

This module offers an introduction to analytical techniques and quantitative methods relevant for quantitative equity investing. You will develop a good understanding of the more standard techniques, and familiarity with the more advanced ones too, used in the field of equity investment.

This will be achieved through a series of lectures complemented by practical exercises in a computer simulation environment.

The module will also feature a number of guest speakers from asset managers who offer investment products designed using the techniques described in the module.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Evaluate the performance and risk of equity investment strategies and employ this information to combine the strategies for better portfolio performance.
  • Manage and improve the performance of these investment strategies using the latest techniques in risk control, forecast conditioning, trade execution and portfolio optimisation.
  • Suggest and assess the likely reasons for the outperformance of these investment strategies and in particular whether the strategies are exposed to underlying risk premia
