Stock Portfolio Optimization with Python

Designing Data-Driven Investment Strategies with Python for Dynamic Risk Modelling and Portfolio Construction.

A practical, hands-on introduction to using Python for stock portfolio construction, leveraging real-time financial data, data-driven analysis, and a deep dive into various portfolio optimization models in Python.

$9 Workshop Admission Fee

During the workshop, your instructor will guide you through the process of building a stock portfolio optimization model using Python. You will learn how to leverage financial data, apply key optimization techniques like Mean-Variance Optimization, and use APIs to create data-driven investment strategies. By the end, you'll have the skills to construct and optimize your own stock portfolios based on real-time market data.
 

Add $5 for Workshop + Practicum

For an extra $5, you can upgrade your participation to the Workshop + Practicum tier (optional). Here's the offer:

  • $9 workshop admission included
  • $98 worth of Sectors API subscription included
  • $39 worth of Supertype Fellowship+ included (peer-to-peer learning group, mentorship, post-workshop implementation support)

After the workshop, all Practicum members are invited to join the Supertype Fellowship, where you can continue to refine your portfolio optimization models, access real-time market data, and collaborate with other members in the community using the free API credits provided to you.

Whether you are a hobbyist programmer, interested in stock market analysis, or looking to deepen your understanding of financial analysis, this workshop is designed for you.

Earn a Certificate of Completion (Practicum-only)

Follow along the last 1 hour of the workshop as a Workshop + Practicum member to earn a certificate of completion. 

We issue this certificate of completion as proof of demonstrable proficiency, and the difficulty level is suited for beginner / junior programmers. You will be asked to submit your work via a Github upload, at which point a mentor will assess and award a certificate as acknowledgement of your competency.

This Code-along workshop is created and organized by Supertype, a data science and analytics consultancy based in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Your Instructor,
Rian Yan

Hailing from sunny Lisbon, Portugal, Rian is a data scientist with a strong passion in finance and investing. From his tech consulting gig at Robert Walters and LG Electronics (both in Lisbon), he has accumulated a wealth of experience and consistently awarded for his work in market research and data analysis. He is now pursuing his second Master’s degree, in Computer Science and Data Science from University of Wolverhampton, UK.
 
Rian is also an individual contributor to the Sectors project, Indonesia’s most comprehensive financial data platform, where his chief contribution is in modelling the IDX Greed-and-Fear Index, the only such index in Indonesia that measures the market sentiment of retail investors. As the lead instructor of this workshop, Rian will guide you through a series of quantitative and portfolio optimization techniques, from Mean-Variance Optimization to the Monto Carlo Simulation; from calculating the Sharpe Ratio, to rating your porfolio with the Efficient Frontier model.

 

Rian has lived in three different countries (Portugal, China, and Sweden), travelled to more than 30 countries, and speak English, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese and German.
