Online course "Pair Trading-Hedge Fund strategy”

Good day! Among the many strategies used by major players, for example, hedge funds, Market-Neutral Strategies are especially popular. The advantage of these strategies primarily lies in the fact that the profitability of a strategy is often weakly dependent on the direction of the market (hence the name "market neutral"). The construction of a portfolio of instruments is not calculated on the direction of the market, but on taking the “delta” or the difference between the growth of some assets and the fall of others.

There is also a more interesting version of this strategy, called “Pair Trading”, in which trading is based on narrowing or widening the spread between two stocks, futures, currency pairs, which are highly correlated with each other.

We invite you to attend our three-day online course, which will take place from September 27 to October 4!
