About the Course

In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to compare the performance of different securities using financial statistics (normal distributions) and the Google Sheets toolkit to decide which one performed the best in terms of risk-to-return (risk-to-reward) metrics. This will teach you how basic risk management using quantitative analysis is done and is applied in calculating mean returns of the stock, variance, standard deviation, the Sharpe ratio, and Sortino Ratio. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We're currently working on providing the same experience in other regions. This course's content is not intended to be investment advice and does not constitute an offer to perform any operations in the regulated or unregulated financial market....

It is a simple and easy course to understand and compare stock returns based on Sharpe and Sortino ratios. Very helpful for someone trying to understand the basics of stocks!

Amazing instructor and the teaching is done without any assumptions of the student having prior knowledge, implying every detail required to understand a topic is covered.

The project is extremely basic. The instructor's accent is a bit hard to understand but you'll get used to it in a while. It'll hardly take 30 minutes to 1 hour for completing the project. The cloud desktop will misbehave a bit and is slow to react. Login using your Google account, and open the Google Sheet in your personal device instead of using the cloud interface if you want a smooth experience.

This project could have been much better if it was focussed on the different ways to compare stock performance & related risks. Too much time is spent on explaining simple Google Sheet manipulations.

The project is good, but explanation of the instructor is not upto the mark. There are certain things you will need to learn or read from google. so, overall its good.

The project tool was good and easy to use and the tools taught seem to be helpful in real life. But the instructor's ability to explain things could be improved!

The instructor uses a different method to calculate the Sortino ratio, which also gives different results. Now I'm confused about which one to follow.

I think the Subject is great and I was really looking forward to taking this but it seems as though there are a lot of technical issues. I couldn't follow along because I couldn't find the files to download, the videos would work, when the videos did work they would pause in the middle and I couldn't gather the necessary information to complete the course or learn what I wanted form it.

While calculating the downside standard deviation, the instructor puts 0 for positive values and this will give a wrong value while using the stdv formula and that will result in whole calculation of sortino ratio going wrong
