Quantitative strategist model analysis

Elated (and a little late) to share that I have completed Quant Research and Portfolio Management Foundations coursework by QuantYog. The coursework covered the aspects my Masters in Financial Engineering didn’t- teaching an outlook on making market observations, how to decipher the patterns in market and an approach and courage to build own trading strategies which are not just toy strategies but the ones which have potential to generate real, sustainable, statistically significant positive alpha across multiple asset classes.

Highly recommend it to anyone who loves Financial Markets, Investing, Quantitative Finance or just want to learn to manage your money with systematic trading strategies!

Thanks to Ish Singh for the great opportunity!
