Exceptional quality of instruction. The production and detail of supporting materials made this class very accessible. I learned much more than expected. Bravo on the effort of the instructors!

The course is great, I enjoyed very detailed Python labs, they taught me a lot. But almost no support from the staff in the forums. If you don't understand something, you are on your own.

Overall an excellent course. I am an experimental physicist and was comfortable with the mathematics and programming part. Definitely others with a background in maths/physics/economics/engineering etc. will not be daunted by the equations. The course covers the basics of finance very well in the first two weeks with a gradual increase in the weightage given to python learning in the first threee weeks. However, the fourth week seemed a bit too heavy in the finance part. To me, it felt as though the student already has an elementary background in bonds and liability driven investing. Maybe a little more explanation of these concepts could be better.

This is a high quality course with top material included!
The skills are relevant for the industry.
The course is also interesting and fun to take.
I have only two comments for thought:
Instead of copy pasting in some videos, a more thorough explanation would be nice and
some strategies require essentially continuous rebalancing something that cannot happen in practice. So it would be best if strategies allowed for less frequent rebalancing.
We can of course build our strategies to allow for less frequent rebal, I am just saying!

Nice course that brings to life real-world applications of Python in the context of institutional investor's portfolios. Requires a background in investment management basics (e.g. discount rates, portfolio analysis) and is ok for Python novices, like me. I found the course especially interesting in the last part, when LDI modelling via Python was presented. At the same time, the Python part feels a bit rushed in this last chapter, although a lot has to do with my beginner-level knowledge of this programming platform.

The instructors have done a great job at helping learners gain hands on experience with rather sophisticated investment management techniques. However, illustrating the practicalities of portfolio construction and insurance came at the expense of only brushing on the theory behind some of the notions introduced. Maybe it was meant to be this way but I would have loved to see more analysis of CPPI and the pricing of ZC bonds under CIR model.

I think this is a good course! THe thing that I like the most ist that Vijay gets stuff wrong live, which is in line with your experience as a coder.
There are two things that I don't really like. You almost need a pre-course to know how to manage Python. And the exams are super difficult, particularly the coding related questions. Probably intermediate homeworks would be in order.

Main concepts in portfolio management were well reinforced with relevant coding applications. The only drawback was that some of the code needed a bit of massaging to execute correctly. Example: an index was used in a calculation when it needed to be converted to an array for a defined function to return a calculated value. Nonetheless, a great course.
