Over 500 candidates have now taken the MLI from some of the world’s most prestigious financial institutions including: JP Morgan, BNP Paribas, Mitsubishi UFJ, Bank for International Settlements, Emirates NBD, Deloitte, UniCredit Bank AG, Credit Suisse, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, CIBC.
The rationale is simple – efficient, scalable models with consistent and testable performance. The aim is to use a scientific approach which can generate extremely fast responses to market events.
While some exchange traded markets (liquid futures, equities, ETFs) and some highly liquid OTC markets (FX, US Treasuries) have been dominated by algorithmic trading for some time, more recent developments include increasing algo presence in less liquid markets such as non-liquid energy futures (energy futures outside of WTI, Brent, and standard energy complex), OTC rates markets (USD and EUR swaps), highly illiquid corporate bonds and even in areas once fully dominated by voice-trading such as EUR government bonds. Some of this evolution is the quest for new markets in which to apply what has been successfully developed elsewhere but much of it is just the natural diffusion of talent into areas which are both more risky and possibly more lucrative. Irrespective of whether it be market-making in banks and speciality prop shops or finding and executing on alphas, balancing portfolios and optimising execution in asset managers, today’s traders, quants and managers must know about systematic trading.
The goal of this class is to provide students with a strong foundation in algorithmic trading as well as the tools and techniques used in the industry. The class will cover everything from basic programming concepts to advanced trading strategies and methods for research into new alpha sources. Students will have the opportunity to apply what they learn in hands-on projects throughout the course.

End of Module Online Tests (Students get two attempts at each module test). Practical final project and a final exam which can be taken from any global location online using MLI’s live invigilation platform.
In this module, the concepts related to algorithmically learning from data are introduced. The candidates are given an early taste of a supervised machine learning application before going through the fundamental building blocks starting from linear regression and classification models to kernels and the theory underpinning support vector machines and then to the powerful techniques of ensemble learning.
The main intent is to see if students can simulate a conscious computer and have it respond to a few basic questions. More complicated functions are welcome.
The purpose of this project is to provide students with intuition regarding linear regression, non-linear regression and neural networks.
Candidates will sit a formal examination on a computer. The exam is taken online by students globally.
Examination Preparation Session: 19th November 2024
Examination Date: 3rd December 2024

Advanced Python Features and Putting them to use in Practice
High Performance Python Outline syllabus
Python is a superb prototyping language that allows us to develop high quality data analyses and simulations in a relatively short amount of time. The cost we pay for this is performance. Python is essentially an interpreted and single threaded language which puts severe limitations on its speed. In this session we will learn a range of techniques that will allow us to discover which parts of our Python code are slow and what we can do to speed things up.
I liked the length of the MLI program and could see that the syllabus covered many topics from supervised learning and neural networks all the way to quantum computing at the end of the program. The faculty members were very impressive in their fields; people I had heard of and knew from the industry. So, I enrolled.

Certainly, you can do machine learning and AI education using popular online platforms, but what ultimately keeps you engaged is if you have good instructors, weekly lectures, homework, and, in the end, you will receive a certificate, something you can show to your employer or discuss in job interviews. Finally, I’d make note of the natural language processing lectures towards the end of the course. These days, everybody is talking about Chat GPT and it’s certainly one of the most interesting and exciting fields.

When I signed up for the MLI, I had been working for 11 years in the actuarial space and head a team working on internal models within an insurer in the London. My educational background was fairly quantitative, as I had an undergraduate degree in economics and actuarial… The Python primer was more than enough to get me going. Prior to that, I had used MATLAB and Visual Basic and there was a fair amount of similarity between MATLAB and Python in terms of the way code is vectorized in order to make calculations efficient. I had also done quite a bit of reading in previous years on neural nets and I was familiar with classification techniques, but this gave me a chance to put these ideas into practice.
Head of Internal Model, Just Group plc
Currently, I work as a portfolio manager at an asset management firm in Latin America. I have developed my career in investment management for 6 years and I believe that machine learning is a new way to improve your set of skills and also it gives you new tools to analyze financial markets. The importance that machine learning is having in the investment decision process and how these tools are changing the finance industry should motivate investment management professionals to learn these new techniques.
In this manner, I totally recommend the Machine Learning Institute Certificate because it gives you the tools to learn in a practical and easy way the several models that can be used in the finance industry. I learned from linear regression and regularization to Neural Networks and the professors are very experienced and proficient in using these tools. Finally, I will be using the knowledge and tools that I learned in my investment and research process as a portfolio manager.

I highly recommend the Machine Learning Institute Certificate in Finance to anyone who wishes to effectively apply the latest tools in predictive modelling and data science. This program covered a good balance between theory and practice. The practicums provided excellent jumping off points for my own use cases. I often started with code provided by the instructors to do what I needed, especially in natural language processing and cross-validation. The material and techniques were current and taught by experienced finance industry practitioners who actually use the techniques they taught. Using the knowledge and techniques I learned in this program, I now possess the ability to explore current research in ML/AI more effectively and productively.

“I was searching for a course regarding the ML/DL application to finance. I have found an excellent choice, the one proposed by MLI. The course provides a global overview of the ML/DL technique applied to financial cases starting from the beginning; up to a medium depth. Participants who want to learn more about specific topics can ask instructors for additional sources and material. A previous exposition to python and ML/DL is advisable, but it is not mandatory.
