Titelbeschreibung

Discover foundational and advanced techniques in quantitative equity trading from a veteran insider In Quantitative Portfolio Management: The Art and Science of Statistical Arbitrage, distinguished physicist-turned-quant Dr. Michael Isichenko delivers a systematic review of the quantitative trading of equities, or statistical arbitrage. The book teaches you how to source financial data, learn patterns of asset returns from historical data, generate and combine multiple forecasts, manage risk, build a stock portfolio optimized for risk and trading costs, and execute trades. In this important book, you’ll discover: <ul> <li>Machine learning methods of forecasting stock returns in efficient financial markets </li> <li>How to combine multiple forecasts into a single model by using secondary machine learning, dimensionality reduction, and other methods</li> <li>Ways of avoiding the pitfalls of overfitting and the curse of dimensionality, including topics of active research such as “benign overfitting” in machine learning </li> <li>The theoretical and practical aspects of portfolio construction, including multi-factor risk models, multi-period trading costs, and optimal leverage </li> </ul> Perfect for investment professionals, like quantitative traders and portfolio managers, Quantitative Portfolio Management will also earn a place in the libraries of data scientists and students in a variety of statistical and quantitative disciplines. It is an indispensable guide for anyone who hopes to improve their understanding of how to apply data science, machine learning, and optimization to the stock market.

Praise for QUANTITATIVE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT “This is a wonderful book: deep, original, witty, and provocative. It is a survey of the most important ideas and methods of modern quantitative investment that should enthrall both seasoned and junior quants. A must-read that will no doubt become a classic.” —Jean-Philippe Bouchaud, Chairman and Chief Scientist, Capital Fund Management; member of the French Academy of Sciences “In his lively and clever style, Isichenko shares from his decades of experience at some of the top quantitative trading shops. Even seasoned veterans will find unfamiliar ideas, as he includes many concepts and models nowhere else in print.” —Colin Rust, Quantitative Portfolio Manager, Cubist Systematic Strategies “I encouraged Michael Isichenko not to seek publication of this book, a comprehensive and accurate survey of market structure and data and mathematical and computational approaches and results for systematic trading. I am grateful that he enlarged and extended it beyond a first draft. I now hope that competitors have so much to absorb that they'll misapply much and not eliminate all remaining avenues to profit for my firm.” —Aaron Sosnick, Founder, Analytics, Research & Trading Advisors An in-depth and telling handbook for quant portfolio management from a leading industry expert Quantitative Portfolio Management is a complete and up-to-date exploration of the quantitative analysis process. You’ll find information about sourcing financial data, alpha generation approaches, dealing with risk, portfolio construction, and trade execution. The book covers both theoretical and algorithmic machine learning subjects in the context of competition-based market efficiency that imposes limits on complexity and performance of quantitative trading models. In addition to foundational subjects that form the basis of quantitative finance, you’ll also learn about lesser-known machine learning algorithms and rarely discussed topics, like forecast combining and multi-period portfolio optimization. The author expertly balances practical observations drawn from his years as a practicing portfolio manager with financial and mathematical insights in statistics and machine learning.
