What exactly is an “asset class”? Here we break down the main types—equities, fixed income, cash (FX), real estate, commodities, and more. Each one behaves differently, responds to different risks, and plays a different role in a portfolio. We explain why institutional investors & quants care about asset classes, how they think about returns, volatility, and diversification, and why it matters for strategy design.

It is a supremely rational, logical approach to finance. It involves analyzing large datasets, generating mathematical models to make predictions about how markets will behave. Then, in application of these models, traders buy and sell securities based on those predictions.

In this course, you will learn the key tools used by "quants."
