...The ARPM Bootcamp is a great event and a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in quantitative finance to learn something new. In terms of course content, I think it was a very detailed and an in-depth treatment of the material. I was not familiar with all the topics and concepts so I will be definitely spending my time going over book and articles. Having MATLAB code to illustrate concepts is very helpful. In terms of organization, everything was top notch…Having guest speakers and organizing an informal cocktail party is an excellent idea. Overall, it was a great event! I enjoyed it tremendously and I would definitely recommend it to any interested and passionate about quantitative finance...

Romain Pochon
...I love the fact that the intuition was given (I loved the animations), and then we got the links to the papers. The technicality was spot on easy enough to understand, but not afraid of going in the maths if needed. Attilio is a very good presenter. The ARPM Bootcamp was interesting and entertaining...
Rajan Shah

Kevin Lee
...I really liked it when the lectures start from the general case and work toward the special case. I find that any assumptions are more evident when you take that route. I also love that Attilio and Angela work the tractable cases with pen and paper. There's no substitute for true understanding. This is one of the more enjoyable educational experiences I've had. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and the hard work that ARPM puts into the event...

A lot of supporting material in the Lab and website to go over math by myself. Great event!...
Serge Lapierre
...One of the best courses I have attended…
Thomas Littlefield
...I thought the ARPM Bootcamp was terrific. I will definitely recommend it to my colleagues.

Walter Storm
...Excellent course…I'm glad I came…
Sophie Scannell
...The teaching sessions are a good speed and include information at a rate that is manageable to process...
Jeffrey Stuart
...Preparing these lectures, all of the supporting white papers, slides and software are monumental undertakings, easily more complicated than writing a research monograph. At their best, the lectures offer real insights into how to think about difficult problems in finance, and how they are apparently being approached in the practitioner community. I know that as I digest what I have heard this week, as I read the various supporting white papers, as I play with the code, and as I re-read the book (my hardback copy is already well marked), that I will continue to learn a great deal...
Anthony Deiko
...Excellent instructor, excellent support staff, and an excellent seminar! It was a pleasure to meet all of you and I look forward to seeing you in another great seminar…
Aleksander Hansen
...Great ARPM Bootcamp: a refreshing perspective and approach to finance. Thanks for all your work!... ; …An excellent instructor…EXCELLENT course!...
Joshua Patterson
...The course was excellent, engaging, challenging, stimulating. ...Attilio's fluency of the topics and delivery of message are highly advanced overall. Thank you very much for hosting and delivering such a thoughtful, focused, engaging presentation of a challenging subject. Congratulations on your success and thank you. In summary, the event as a whole was very excellent. All of the course leaders and staff, the supportive systems in use, the venue, and refreshments are very much appreciated and demonstrating a high level of commitment to success, which was very well received my myself and many others in attendance. Congratulations and thank you to the ARPM Bootcamp group, and I look forward to continuing involvement...
Oren Rosen
...I really enjoyed this course. I came in loosely familiar with most of the topics but not an expert at any of them. What I was lacking was a big picture of how it all fit together…. I found the level of mathematical rigor to be ideal. The general framework was perfect for helping me connect ideas. The practical examples provided me with an intuitive perspective that will help me remember everything and most important - equipped me with the ideas I need to (hopefully) extend them in my own ways in the future. I can honestly say that this was the most thorough course of this type that I have ever participated in...I will definitely recommend the ARPM Bootcamp to others in the future. Thanks again for this fantastic course!...
Roy Chdid
…Everything was great! An amazing instructor, funny and lovely teacher. I really enjoyed the ARPM Bootcamp even though I'm a recent BA graduate and the stuff was a bit advanced. I honestly enjoyed it and learned from this course…

...The strongest point is the breadth and depth it covers. Very comprehensive…
Kanshukan Rajaratnam
...I found the whole ARPM Bootcamp to be well run, and more importantly, it covered all the important topics. I expect to use this knowledge in both my teaching and my academic research. I think this can only be taught by someone who has had both the academic and practitioner experience, like Attilio Meucci. I expect to be back for the course in the near future...
Zhi Liao
...Excellent course and topics!...
Yunfeng Zhao
...Good job. Thank you very much. Hopefully I would attend the ARPM Bootcamp a second time a couple of years later. Thanks all of you guys again…
Joram Swart
...A great course…
David Antonio
...I think the Checklist is well thought out and provides a very clear way to think about risk and portfolio management from end-to-end. The presentation material was very good - clear notation, clearly explained and the use of graphics and animations really helped. I would certainly recommend the ARPM Bootcamp to colleagues. I don't think there is another conference/course out there that offers so much at such a reasonable price. The Lab is inspiring. Thanks for all your hard work...
Luca Cetrano
…Great experience overall. Topics and material of absolute value and interest, presented in an impeccable and stimulating way. Excellent ability of Attilio to present every arguments in a clear and simple way, maintaining the due academic rigorousness and presenting at the same time practical application hints…Thanks a lot for the memorable experience…
Stefano Damiano
...A unique learning experience. Attilio is a great teacher who is able to communicate the intuition behind complex models. I particularly liked his extensive use of simulations and examples to make concepts come alive. And as a practitioner, I find his approach refreshing and on target, as I do believe that all models are wrong, some are useful. Grazie!...
Miquel Noguer Alonso
...As usual excellent! The ARPM Bootcamp is great!...
Ivan Petej
...Excellent course overall, and very unique. Great balance of detail and breadth...

A joy to attend!...

...Very complete and in depth overview. I had a fantastic experience, thank you for the ARPM Bootcamp and for the ARPM Lab, which is a very impressive work. Great job! Now I have a lot to digest, review and tryout. Definitely gave me a foot in the door...
Timothy Tien
…It was a great experience. I know a lot more of what I don't know, which is great for me. As a prop trader for more than a decade, the discussions around weightings and diversification were both spot on for practice and further thought refinement… I would highly recommend this course to portfolio managers, risk managers, quants, quant programmers. I would like to do some work, after being away from the theory for more than 25 years, and be able to take the course again…
Dongliang Yi
...I now have a deep and broad knowledge about the current risk management tools...
Mohan Pothapragada
...Attilio was scintillating. His grip on the subject and his delivery is flawless. The entire program leaves you wanting for more...It would be great if we have the recording of all the sessions conducted by Attilio so that we can revisit and clarify any doubts that we have...
Silvio DeVincentis

Kazim Yildiz
...I really liked the fact that the topic is organized as steps. Instructor's depth of knowledge and teaching skills are amazing. I liked mostly about the emphasis on the practitioner point of view. This has been one of the best if not the best workshop that I have taken...
David Gumpert-Hersh
...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 staff and the following, I'll be back... Attilio, your staff was nothing short of perfect, always looking out for us and making everything as comfortable as possible! Thanks again for a course I can grow to and build on for years to come. A job well done!...
Christian Lauron
...Excellent program. Well-organized...
Michael Cao
…Overall, it was a great program and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you so much for putting on such a rewarding event for our industry, Attilio! We sincerely appreciate your contribution to the field as well as the society…
Etienne Hermand
...Excellent training, probably one of the best I attended so far. I just hope Attilio can continue to do this for another few years, I realize how much time, energy and preparation this must take, on top of following up on LinkedIn. Congratulations for the quality, quantity and spirit during those 6 days. One last thing though: why not making it a 7 days by extending it to the Sunday ? (ok, just kidding...)...
Jessica Mitra
...It was an excellent course and Attilio was an excellent instructor. The framework will be helpful. Zorica was an excellent administrator and took great care of all the people attending the program…

Himanshu Almadi
...The ARPM Bootcamp is a must-have for buy-side practitioners and risk managers. The course is adequately paced for practitioners and does a great job of highlighting recent advancements in the field. The Checklist is worth its name…
Laurent Hoffmann
...The ARPM Bootcamp is a great course which I will highly recommend to anyone seriously interested in risk and portfolio management. Attilio did an amazing job in teaching complex material clearly and trying to follow up on questions until the very last minute. Having lectured in the past I bow to his everlasting endurance and enthusiasm. The review sessions nicely complemented the lectures and helped getting a grip on technical issues. The course, including the talks and the cocktail party were very well organized and all staff members were incredibly helpful. Unbelievable that all of this was almost for free. Finally, the fact that proceeds go to 'One More Reason', a charitable initiative, deserves my utmost recognition and respect. Thank you Attilio and the ARPM staff...
