About the Course

Over-utilization of market and accounting data over the last few decades has led to portfolio crowding, mediocre performance and systemic risks, incentivizing financial institutions which are looking for an edge to quickly adopt alternative data as a substitute to traditional data. This course introduces the core concepts around alternative data, the most recent research in this area, as well as practical portfolio examples and actual applications. The approach of this course is somewhat unique because while the theory covered is still a main component, practical lab sessions and examples of working with alternative datasets are also key. This course is fo you if you are aiming at carreers prospects as a data scientist in financial markets, are looking to enhance your analytics skillsets to the financial markets, or if you are interested in cutting-edge technology and research as they apply to big data. The required background is: Python programming, Investment theory , and Statistics. This course will enable you to learn new data and research techniques applied to the financial markets while strengthening data science and python skills....

really interesting applications and good examples. More breadth than depth but a great guide as to what the state of the art is in applying machine learning to more alternative forms of data.

Was pretty informative, especially getting to see and understand the techniques that large hedge funds might use to determine their investment strategies.

Picked up interesting insights how alternative data sets can be used for asset management. Covered a lot of different data sets and how they can use used to create features for machine learning models to consume. Significant self study and readings for students to understand and appreciate the lab sessions.

It's a good course, a practical course. However Python lessons are not great as they are in module 1 and 2. I recommend it since it's going to give you a good financial and portfolio management background and understand (not as an expert but understanding the basics) how all that theory works in practice.

Really interesting and differnt view pot of financial world, both theory and Lab parts are well prepared. But, I still recomannd to add more progamming questions in the Quiz, than students would able to learn more by doing more!

It is a course that is relevant in the series, despite the inherent difficulty to quantify this alternate information into valuable data. In the end, it feels somewhat more like art than science. Still interesting.

Great overview on Alternative Data types and usage techniques, with useful libraries description in Python. Lack of some explanation / more details on the integration of alternative data sets in financial models.

Very good theory and practice. Only comment is the lack of a connection of the quizzes to the notebooks, more questions related to the notebooks would be very beneficial.

Really good! Using real-world dataset and professional experts in the finance industry , unfortunately no live coding but good explanation of the code
