Factor Modeling

Join us for our free presentation on "Factor Modeling" by our Director of Academia, Delaney Granizo-Mackenzie. A common technique in quantitative finance is that of ranking stocks by using a combination of fundamental factors and price-based signals. Delaney will be presenting an IPython Notebook that explores long-short strategies and fundamental factor models in an application involving US equities.

Food and drinks will be provided. We're excited to be partnering with our friends at Talent Garden Genova (http://genova.talentgarden.org/) for this event. Join us at the same location the next day for our Introduction to Algorithmic Trading Workshop (https://qworkshopgenoa.splashthat.com/) to start creating and testing your own trading strategies. We hope you can join us!
