Quantopian Summer Lecture: The Art of Not Following the Market

Algorithms that do not follow the market are very attractive to investors. We will discuss some approaches for reducing correlation to a benchmark and discuss why returns aren’t everything.

This is the first in Quantopian’s Summer Lecture Series. We are currently developing a quant finance curriculum and will be releasing clone-able notebooks and algorithms to go along with this lecture.

Pizza and beer will be served.
