Algorithm & Data Structure Training for Interviews
This algo training course is based on the training received by national teams qualified for international olympiads.
The course is hands-on heavy.
Algorithms and problem solving is a discipline you learn best through intense practice.
Algo and data structure questions have been mainstream in Big Tech companies' interviews for long, but we have noticed that this type of question is also becoming standard in the hedge fund and asset management industry with a shift from Econ quants to Math & CS quants in their staff. More hiring managers being Math & CS quants means more olympiad-like algorithmic problems at interviews.
Many of the exercises proposed in this course have become interview classics.

At HKML EduTech, we noticed that skills for the automation of trading operations were in high demand, but (Hong Kong) Universities were not preparing their students well to this new reality of the job market.
This is why we asked Chris to prepare a hands-on learning experience to improve students success in today's job market in the crypto trading and tech space.
Chris is a graduate from HKUST with previous experience in designing crypto trading strategies for a Korean firm.
After completing this course for HKML EduTech, Chris got an offer from Polymer Capital Management, a market-neutral Asia focus hedge fund.
Systematic trading strategies for cryptos
This course is based on the experience of top quant traders. You will learn to look at markets from a different angle. Forget everything you read on the web about candlesticks, technical patterns, and other fool's errands retail traders seem fond of, but are never ever applied in serious systematic quantitative hedge funds.

It will also boost applications to other systematic quant firms (systematic equities, macro).
Who is this training for?
- STEM students wishing to get into crypto trading
- Existing finance professionals interested in deepening their understanding of systematic trading
Active Portfolio Management: A Quantitative Approach for Producing Superior Returns and Controlling Risk
This book has become the reference in systematic quantitative trading, so much so that top quantitative hedge funds like Two Sigma and G-Research (among many others) ask their new joiners to read it. It can also be spotted on the desk of many senior quant researchers and traders, as a lifetime guide and companion.
What we offer:
A training based on this cornerstone of scientific and quantitative investing. Without previous experience, this book is a dry and harsh read. Our senior quants will help you understand its core takeaways, chapter by chapter, through practical exercises requiring some programming (in Python, Julia, C# or C++).
Who is this training for?
Anyone interested in a career in quantitative trading.
Priority will be given to STEM students or graduates, data scientists or IB professionals who can demonstrate a sound level in programming.

Quantamental Credit Portfolio Management
Between your typical MFE or PhD at University and your first job in a hedge fund, there is a large gap. Competitions for positions such as junior traders is extreme, and let's be honest, all resumes look the same: same not-so-relevant courses, same school projects, etc. Previous internships are a key differentiating factor. These internships are nearly as hard to get as the junior trading positions... All this moves the problem forward: You need relevant experience early on in your career, i.e. way before you graduate, to stand out from the crowd.
What we offer:
- Full access to a high-yield corporate bonds portfolio (worth ~ USD 150k) to learn the basics of credit portfolio management (for a period of 6 months)
- Training on analyzing corporate bonds and building a diversified portfolio
- Using a REST API to pull information and submit orders
Who is this training for?
STEM students aiming at getting into trading and portfolio management;
Particularly relevant for those having a keen interest in Credit.
