Financial securities are complex and require trained Quantitative Analysts. Quantitative Finance builds skills in the concepts and techniques required in the financial markets for statistical analysis and modelling, risk management, model calibration, and derivatives pricing. Students will develop competency in both the theory and the implementation. Quantitative Analysts are trained to apply mathematical and statistical knowledge to devise models for pricing, investment, etc.
Blending mathematics, finance and computer skills effectively, well-trained Quant Analysts are in great demand. Dubbed the “Rocket Scientists of Wall Street”, Quantitative Analysts are sought-after by investment banks, fund managers, hedge funds, derivative traders, commercial banks, risk management companies, insurance companies, and management consultancies besides financial software and information providers.
