Machine Learning in Investment Management
Learn about the science and art of machine learning in the equity markets. Machine Learning in Equity Market Investing is an insider’s look into the opaque world of quantitative investing and application of machine learning in equity investing. Rick Roche will separate fact from fiction and hype from reality. Learn how asset managers are deploying learner algorithms and advanced statistical modeling to classify and monetize varied and differentiated sources of potential alpha. Although quants have not taken over Wall Street (not yet, anyway), the audience will be surprised to hear just how widespread automated trading systems (ATS) and algorithmic investing are being deployed in today’s equity markets.
