From course description:
“[This course] starts by developing basic concepts such as volatility, correlation and Sharpe Ratios from first principles to build a solid theoretical foundation for the study of portable alpha. From this base, it examines alpha from many perspectives. First from a purely intuitive angle and then from a simple mathematical perspective. It goes on to look at issues of portfolio design and strategy selection.
“Participants will gain:
A fundamental understanding of alpha and beta from a completely intuitive perspective. A deep understanding of portable alpha, including how to measure it, how to recognize it, and where to find it. A true understanding of the mathematics that underlie the concept. The skills to identify managers that can generate alpha.”
