What you'll learn

  • Learn the importance of domain expertise for investment management

Description

Machine learning will provide a paradigm shift in investment management. There are immense opportunities to apply machine learning to investment management if you know where to look. Unlike many Silicon Valley challenges, it is not simply a matter of throwing capital and PhDs at the financial markets. Drawing on his experience with hundreds of funds in this space, Michael Weinberg explains why you must exploit domain expertise to achieve disruptive success and details the traps you may encounter and how to avoid them.
