Introduction to Risk Model

Before Quantopian, risk models were only available to deep-pocketed financial institutions. Today, anyone can use ours, for free. Join Quantopian's Academia and Data Science Lead, Max Margenot, to learn about the new risk model. Every portfolio has exposure to common risk factors, whether to an economic sector (like technology or materials) or to a trading style (like momentum or mean reversion). Quantopian's risk model will help you both identify and manage your portfolio’s exposure to common sources of risk.
