ASSOCIATION WITH




Certificate Program in
Quantitative Finance and Risk Management (CP-QFRM)



Quantitative Finance is the discipline that deals with the application of mathematics, statistics, computer programming and physics in solving problems in the areas of high-end finance and investments. The field of Quantitative Finance is relatively new in India. IIQF is the first Institute in India to introduce a specialized program in Quantitative Finance. 

This program aims to prepare professionals for careers in quantitative investment management, financial risk management, portfolio management, financial software & systems, financial consulting services, etc. Even experienced risk management professionals who have the theoretical background of the risk management models, find theirs skills to be inadequate when it comes to implementing the models. For them having the theoretical background is not enough to actually implement these models in practice. This is why we have designed this course tailor-made for imparting these skills. This program is designed for people who want to move into risk management or derivatives valuations field and want to learn to develop applications related in these areas. 

The course involves hands-on implementation of various risk and pricing models that are used in the industry. The purpose of this course is to give the students exposure to practical aspects of quantitative finance as they are applied in the industry. The course will enable the students to learn how to apply their theoretical knowledge in practical applications. Leading practitioners from the field in India will teach the course. This program will also help prepare the candidates to appear for the FRM® and PRM examinations.

    The one and half year course on Financial Engineering that I attended at IIQF is one of the best courses available in the Indian market. Much more rigorous than CQF and more Quant Finance orientated than a CFA. It has a wonderful faculty most of whom are former PhDs from Stanford or Professors in Indian Statistical Institute (ISI). The course offers various insights and allows multiple programming languages. It allows Open book Testing culture which allows students to focus on applying the theory to very real problems. This course overall has provided me with a solid mathematical foundation, enabled me to understand how the theory translates to practical problems and finally to get a great offer in a equity quant research team.
