1:05:30 is this really what “MBAs” and “higher” are doing? That’s broad for him to say. This seemed like a statistics degree.

[@resa574]

No lol It’s not what anyone is doing, much more complicated than that. But really no one is touching the portfolio construction at any firm anyway

[@itooflemma]

This is like module 1 introductory to a normal quant finance course. If you want a better taste of quant finance look into FDM, SDEs and stochastic calculus. This is more of what we do.

[@itooflemma]

Not just a undergrad introductory course. Most have PhDs in Physics/Maths/CS
