1 NEW ONLINE COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE CERTIFICATE Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters This new online certificate program is offered by the Department of Applied Mathematics in partnership with the departments of Statistics and Economics and begins in fall quarter The certificate is awarded to students who successfully complete the online certificate curriculum consisting of the following three courses: Course Title Number Quarter Investment Science STAT 591 Fall R Computing for Computational Finance AMATH 500 Winter Portfolio Construction and Risk Management STAT 549 Spring For course details see the Online Courses section below. Each of the above courses may be taken on a stand-alone basis subject to instructor approval. Benefits Students will benefit from this certificate program by acquiring the tools to effectively manage financial investments, supported by the use and development of R programs, and will be positioned to: (a) apply for an entry level position in a quantitative asset management organization such as a long-only quantitative portfolio management group, an absolute returns hedge fund, a fund-of-hedge funds, an endowment, or a pension, (b) transfer to a quantitative asset management job position in your current organization, (c) manage your own investment using quantitative portfolio construction and risk management methods, (d) continue on to a full MS degree in quantitative finance in preparation for career advancement in the quantitative asset management field. Certificate credits earned may be applied to an MS in Computational Finance and Risk Management degree at the University of Washington currently in the planning stage. Curriculum Design The Online Certificate curriculum was designed to provide the strongest possible threecourse introductory education in Computational Finance that balances theoretical foundations, powerful modern computing tools and investment portfolio management. The first course, Investment Science, provides the financial, mathematical and statistical foundations needed for sound investment decision making by covering three fundamental topic areas: (a) interest rates and fixed income, (b) portfolio and factor model theory, (c) futures, forwards and options. The quantitative level of this course is
2 intermediate between that of an MBA investments course and that of Ph.D. level finance course. The second course, R Programming for Computational Finance, leverages: (a) the overall strengths of the open source R programming language for statistical modeling and data analysis as applied to finance, (b) the rapid growth in use of R in quantitative finance, and (c) rapid emergence of new R packages for both conventional and cutting edge financial analytics. Finally, Portfolio Construction and Risk Management, builds on the foundations of the first two courses to provide a very modern approach to portfolio management that covers both conventional mean-variance based portfolio methods and new cutting edge methods of portfolio optimization and risk budgeting that take into account fat-tailed skewed returns distributions. It also covers other modern approaches such as volatility clustering and Bayesian methods and deals with practical optimization such as weights constraints, turnover cost control, and liquidity risk. The course involves hands-on computing and performance comparisons using historical asset returns data from multiple financial data service providers. Course outlines are provided at the above course title links. Background This online certificate program is an out-growth of a successful Graduate Certificate in Computational Finance program started in 2004 for resident Ph.D. students in science and engineering. The program was founded by Professors Doug Martin in Statistics and Eric Zivot in Economics, who serve as Director and Co-director of the program. This program has approximately 20 students currently enrolled and has placed 9 students in finance industry companies and 3 in university faculty positions since Brief resumes of Martin and Zivot, along with that of Guy Yollin, who are collectively teaching courses in the Online Computational Finance Certificate are provided in the next section. For details on the overall Computational Finance Program at University of Washington see: Application Process For information on how to apply for this program and other details see the following web site:
3 ONLINE CERTIFICATE FACULTY RESUMES R. Douglas Martin Martin is a Professor of Statistics, Adjunct Professor of Finance, and Director of Computational Finance. He was Chair of Statistics during its early formative years, a consultant at Bell Laboratories for ten years, founder of the S-PLUS company Statistical Sciences, and founder and Chairman of the risk management software company FinAnalytica, Inc. His numerous publications on time series and robust statistical methods include one Annals of Statistics and two Royal Statistical Society discussion papers. He is co-author of Modern Portfolio Optimization (2005), and Robust Statistics: Theory and Methods (2006), and frequent invited speaker at finance industry conferences. His research focus is on applications of modern statistical methods in portfolio construction and risk management. He holds the B.S.E. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University Eric Zivot Eric Zivot is the Robert Richards Chaired Professor in the Economics Department, Adjunct Professor of Statistics, and Adjunct Professor of Finance. He regularly teaches courses on econometric theory, financial econometrics and time series econometrics, and is the recipient of the Henry T. Buechel Award for Outstanding Teaching. He was an associate editor of the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics. He is co-author of Modeling Financial Time Series with S-PLUS and co-developer of S+FinMetrics, and has consulted on the use of S-PLUS and R in the finance industry. He has published in the leading econometrics journals, including Econometrica, Econometric Theory, the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, Journal of Econometrics, and the Review of Economics and Statistics, and in empirical finance journals including the Journal of Empirical Finance, the Journal of Financial Markets, and the Journal of International Money and Finance. He holds the Ph.D. in Economics from Yale University. Guy Yollin Guy is a quantitative research analyst, risk manager, and R language evangelist for Rotella Capital Management (RCM), a Seattle-area hedge fund manager specializing in the trading of global futures and foreign exchange markets. Prior to joining RCM, Guy led the quant finance software development team at Insightful Corporation, developers of S-PLUS and S+FinMetrics. Guy has given numerous talks on R/S programming for financial applications and has taught graduate courses in statistical computing and financial time series analysis. He holds a master s degree in computational finance from the Oregon Graduate Institute (now part of Oregon Health & Science University) and a bachelor s degree in electrical engineering from Drexel University.
