Python for Finance Technical Workshop I and II (Bundled)
Part I: August 14, 11AM ET – 2PM ET
Part II: August 17, 11AM ET – 2PM ET
Because of its simplicity, flexibility, and overall utility, Python has rapidly gained in popularity in recent years as a tool used by top analysts to enhance their day-to-day work. From financial modeling to analytics to payments processing, Python’s applications in Finance are nearly endless. That’s why financial professionals skilled in Python – and the banks that employ them – are some of the best positioned for success in our industry.
Presented by the RMA Model Validation Consortium, this two-part course will provide a comprehensive overview of Python basics and how to apply them effectively. Part I will introduce you to the Python programming language’s most common uses in Finance and begin to teach you the skills you’ll need to get started with Python, such as data types and structures, reading data files, functional programming, and data exploration and visualization using the base Python library and open-source packages.
Part II will teach you how to apply the skills you learned in the first installment to various interesting and highly practical topics, such as financial time series analysis, simulation, value-at-risk, portfolio optimization, derivative pricing, and credit modeling.
You Will:
- Gain a high-level understanding of the Python programming language and its most common applications in Finance (Part I)
- Apply your understanding of Python basics to various topics in finance that are relevant to your job role (Part II)
- Position yourself and your institution to succeed with productivity and analytical gains enabled by Python and its rich ecosystem of tools
Who Should Attend?
- Market Risk Analysts, Credit Risk Analysts, and Model Risk Analysts
- Other Junior- to Mid-level Associates from across the firm who are interested in improving their skills in one of the most common programming languages in finance today
