Hi Afzal, My understanding on structurers is that they create complex derivatives by combining vanilla and other liquid derivatives. The prices of these simple instruments are known as these components are liquid and are frequently traded and so structurers can themselves combine these vanilla products with known market prices and then combine to get the complex derivative price ; Then how quants help price these complex derivatives?

1:05 market division: a better idea about trading floor. sales are the one to talk to the clients about markets. traders are the one to come up ideas to execute trades and create markets. 2:10 S&T is on the technical aspects - how to execute the trades 2:30 execution trader: important to get the time and price. therefore, the commission would be the best for you and bank. 3:50 the last roles are structure and quants.

[@cordelia4923]

Can you talk about research analysts next? This video was a great overview by the way!

[@AfzalHussein]

Hey! Added to the list! Thanks :)

[@emree5962]

quants also try to find optimal combinations of asset classes to help build portfolios where volatility is lower but returns are higher

[@xWINfinity]

Yes at HFs, not at banks

[@policeman4446]

I think it's really cool what you're trying to do here with your channel, gonna stay tuned in!

[@AfzalHussein]

Thanks!

Smaller, speculative stocks have endured a historically weak stretch. Investors are betting that a turnaround is finally in the works. I’ve lost about $320k within a few months, how do i take advantage of the market turnaround?

[@DavidAntony-gq7id]

There are many interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell stocks.

[@BrunoLuke]

@@DavidAntony-gq7id Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the stock market right now, especially for near-retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for a while now mostly and I made over $800K within a short time

[@DavidAntony-gq7id]

@@BrunoLuke That's impressive! I could really use the expertise of these advisors. how can I get to your advisor?

[@BrunoLuke]

@@DavidAntony-gq7id renowned for her proficiency and expertise in the financial market, *KRISTIN GAIL CUNNINGHAM* my financial advisor, holds a broad understanding of portfolio diversification and is recognized as an authority in this domain.

@@BrunoLuke Thank you, I just checked her out and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.

Since quants use algorithms to trade efficiently. Then why do you think that traders will be replaced ?
