orientation

Orientation

Get setup in your coding environment and start writing your first lines of code in under 30 minutes. Setup your environment and quickly understand how to command basic functions that you’ll build on throughout the course.

Build on your existing foundation with excel analogs

By relating lessons and techniques to concepts finance professionals are already familiar with, PyFi courses deliver higher retention rates and a more efficient learning process. You are already a logical thinker and problem solver which is demonstrated by your work in Excel. PyFi builds off this foundation.

Practical

Practical application

The Python programming language is an immense topic to cover. There are many things you can learn and even more ways you can apply Python which are not relevant to you as a finance professional. PyFi teaches you what you need to know to be effective in your work without needing to pursue a formal computer science degree.

Apply proven solutions to your work

Because Python is open source, you’re able to apply working libraries, or frameworks, to your work with simple commands. Imagine downloading sophisticated financial models you could simply plug your data into. That’s exactly what’s possible with the Python programming language and PyFi gets you started by plugging the NumPy and Pandas library directly into your financial analysis.
Library

Prepare Your Data 

If you want a great machine learning algorithm, you need great training data. Correct errors, eliminate sparse classes, and remove unwanted observations to provide your algorithm premium fuel.

02

Build Your Pipelines

Model pipelines tell your algorithm how to process your data. Construct pipelines that standardize your data to a common scale, define competing model classes, and specify random states. 

Train & Tune Your Algorithm

Optimizing your machine learning algorithm is like tuning a race car. Train competing models and tune your hyperparameters using cross-validation to maintain the integrity of your testing data.

04

Select the Winning Model

Your algorithm competes against itself to produce optimal results. After training and tuning your models, you can select the winning model and use it to make superior predictions. 

By the end of the course you will...

Offering solutions to manage various types of financial risk, including interest rate risk, currency risk, and commodity price risk. This might involve structuring derivatives, swaps, and hedging strategies.

Asset Management

Python and ML can be used to analyze market data, optimize portfolio allocations, and enhance investment strategies. These technologies enable asset managers to identify trends and make data-driven investment decisions.

Financial Analysis and Modeling

Financial analysts leverage Python for data analysis and financial modeling. ML can be applied to predict financial outcomes, evaluate investment opportunities, and perform scenario analysis.

Regulatory Compliance

Compliance officers use Python and ML to monitor transactions, detect fraudulent activities, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. ML algorithms can automate the detection of anomalous behavior, reducing the risk of financial crime and regulatory penalties.
Research
Researchers in investment banking use Python and ML to analyze financial markets, economic trends, and company fundamentals. This analysis supports investment decisions and strategy development.
Sales and Trading
While distinct from algorithmic trading, sales and trading professionals can use Python and ML for predictive analytics to forecast market movements, analyze client behavior, and optimize trading strategies.
Wealth Management
Advisors can use ML to provide personalized investment advice and portfolio management services, analyzing clients' financial situations, preferences, and risk tolerance to tailor investment strategies.
Market Strategy and Operations
Professionals in this area can use Python and ML to analyze market conditions, optimize operational processes, and improve efficiency. This includes everything from streamlining back-office operations to forecasting market demand.

Meet Zach Washam

While learning Python as an investment banker, Zach made an interesting observation: Python programming had a lot in common with the Excel models he made at work. By thinking of Python like Excel, Zach quickly learned the coding language and invented Wells Fargo Securities' first machine learning algorithm for investment banking and capital markets. ‍ 

After submitting two algorithms for patent protection and winning Wells Fargo's 2018 "Local Sphere Innovation Award," Zach left investment banking to launch PyFi. ‍ 

Now, Zach’s courses have been delivered to thousands of finance students and professionals around the world.

How will learning Python help my finance career?

New technology is changing the finance industry. For you, this change is both an opportunity and a threat. If you learn to write Python code, you can stand out and get ahead in your career. If you don't learn Python now, you risk getting left behind.

Python's powerful analytical capabilities make many of Excel's functions obsolete, and open-source machine learning packages support predictive analysis that is simply not possible with legacy tools like Excel.In the hyper-competitive finance industry, Python and Machine Learning skills are quickly becoming a necessity.
