"The ARPM Bootcamp covers a lot of important topics used in the field on quant finance. Appreciated the fact that we built everything from first principles. It's a great program that I would recommend to my colleagues."
Quantitative Analyst at Cubist Systematic Strategies
"This is an impressive course designed not only for buy-side practitioners but also for hardcore theorists in academia. How Attilio integrated the great depth of mathematical rigor, valuable programming experiences, visual and verbal representation of intriguing economic theories and latest industry fads into one set of study materials is truly amazing, and I have to say that I've never seen anything like this even at top graduate schools."
Executive Director at Morgan Stanley
"I really can't say enough how glad I am to have participated in the ARPM Bootcamp. Even when the material was familiar, there were layers of insight intoned for those looking for them. I would highly recommend the course to any practitioner or academic at any point on the spectrum."
Head of Quantitative Analysis and Research at Whitebox Advisors
"I was very impressed with the course, particularly from a practitioner's perspective...All of the daily sessions were great. I had never seen Atillio in person before and I enjoyed his sense of humor and teaching demeanor. I felt the visual tools used to reinforce concepts were particularly helpful. I will definitely recommend the course to some of my other research team members."
Investment Analyst at The Vanguard Group
"I greatly enjoyed the ARPM Bootcamp. I liked the abstract perspective and the approach of going from general to specific. Great opportunity to network, too! Well done Attilio and the staff!"
Director, Risk Analytics at Barclays
"Main strengths I believe are the contents, course structure, and style. This is one program that encapsulates all aspect of portfolio and risk management in one place. A very good mix of using theory with reasoning behind it. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and am looking forward to using the concepts more actively."
Vice President at Goldman Sachs & Co
"Everything was very clear and comprehensive. The lectures were quite lucid and the readings (especially the lab!) are quite amenable to self-study, especially to someone transitioning into quantitative finance. I felt I learned a lot about risk and portfolio management, despite not having prior professional experience in this area."
Ph.D. student in theoretical physics at Leiden University
"I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the course, and it exceeded my prior expectations. I think Attilio is excellent at delivering the material, and I’m quite impressed by his ability to teach such long hours. The administration, venue and participants were fantastic."
Assistant Professor at The American University in Cairo
"The ARPM really helped me to further improve my knowledge of the various fields covered. Although you think you already know a lot on the respective topic area, the ARPM Bootcamp enables you to deepen your knowledge and further connecting your knowledge to other topic areas. Organization was good, responds to inquiries were very fast and precise."
Doctoral Student, European Business School, Wiesbaden, Germany
"Attilio, you and your team was just fantastic. 60% of the math was over my head but the methods and exercises allow me to get there with the strategy to implement it properly. This is priceless! Next year I will send my staff and the following I'll be back. Thanks again for a course I can grow to and build on for years to come. A job well done!"
Vice President at Wescom Credit Union
"The ARPM Bootcamp was excellent! The instructor's breadth and depth of knowledge was pretty amazing. I loved getting a bird's eye view of all the topics and I loved that he kept going back to the main checklist and kept giving us a sense of the overall picture. I intend to take the exam and will hopefully gain a deeper understanding studying for it..."
Consultant at The World Bank
"Over all, the ARPM Bootcamp is the best academic experience I've ever had (not one of, just the best). It has broadened my view so much. There's still a lot from the ARPM Bootcamp that I need to digest. These 6 days will change my life forever."
CTO at ChinaHR.com
