THE COMMON CHALLENGES

Do you think professional methods of investing are beyond your reach because it involves a state of the art infrastructure, rocket science, and huge amount of money?

Have you tried replicating someone else's trading style and method only to end up with drastically different or inconsistent results?

Do you find it difficult to implement investment strategies that you learned because (a) you have no confidence about it, (b) you still don't know how to execute it, and/or (c) you have no time?

THIS COURSE WILL CHANGE YOUR PERCEPTION OF THE APPROACH TO INVESTING.

We will teach you in-depth a sensible way to trade volatility known as Volatility Risk Premium, from concept to implementation, whose principles are used among hedge fund professionals. This strategy is capable of generating good returns during calm markets and potentially acts as a hedge during crisis periods. After the course, you will be able to Do-It-Yourself.

Volatility Risk Premium is a powerful quantitative strategy that is grounded in well-established principles and common sense. There are no chart reading, no thick annual reports, no constant monitoring of market news, and no forecasting.

All investment decisions are driven by the model we will build in this course. The completed model requires less than 5 minutes of your time to update. A good understanding of the strategy through hands-on learning will keep your discipline in check and prevent you from falling prey to emotions during times of market stress. The result is consistency.

We will build the model up in Excel using in-built Excel functions. No programming experience is required. Neither do we need expensive tools or data subscriptions. We will use only free resources.
