Bridge the Gap Between Portfolio Theory and Practical Python Code
Modern quantitative portfolio management sits at the intersection of rigorous mathematical theory and real-world execution. Yet, most financial literature forces a compromise: books either present heavy linear algebra without executable code, or offer code snippets stripped of theoretical derivations.
Written by Dr. Ahmet Goncu, professor of finance and PhD in financial mathematics, Quantitative Portfolio Management with Python bridges this gap completely. From foundational mean-variance optimization to advanced machine learning and reinforcement learning algorithms, every equation is derived step-by-step and implemented from scratch in Python.
What You Will Learn:
-
Foundations of Portfolio Mathematics: Master matrix calculus, quadratic forms, and Lagrangian optimization applied to minimum-variance and tangency portfolios.
-
Asset Pricing & Factor Models: Build, estimate, and evaluate the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and Fama-French multi-factor regressions on real market data.
-
Advanced Portfolio Construction: Address classical mean-variance estimation error using Ledoit-Wolf covariance shrinkage, Black-Litterman Bayesian inference, and Hierarchical Risk Parity (HRP).
-
Machine Learning & Reinforcement Learning: Formulate state-space representations and train REINFORCE-based reinforcement learning agents for dynamic allocation.
-
Walk-Forward Backtesting: Implement rigorous walk-forward backtesting frameworks to stress-test equity, bond, and commodity portfolios.
Key Features:
-
Self-Contained Python Code: All code listings use standard scientific libraries (numpy, pandas, scipy, scikit-learn, statsmodels, yfinance) and run out-of-the-box.
-
No Black-Box Wrappers: Every key algorithm—from Black-Litterman posterior estimation to Hierarchical Risk Parity recursive bisection—is built from first principles.
-
Preliminary Math Foundations: Includes a comprehensive linear algebra refresher and standalone appendices covering optimization, statistics, and setup.
Whether you are a graduate student in financial engineering, a quantitative researcher, a risk manager, or a practitioner looking to modernize your backtesting stack, this textbook provides the mathematical foundation and pythonic tools required to excel in modern quantitative finance.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
