This textbook covers the latest advances in machine learning methods for asset management and asset pricing. Recent research in deep learning applied to finance shows that some of the (usually confidential) techniques used by asset managers result in better investments than the more standard techniques. Cutting-edge material is integrated with mainstream finance theory and statistical methods to provide a coherent narrative. Coverage includes an original machine learning method for strategic asset allocation; the no-arbitrage theory applied to a wide portfolio of assets as well as other asset management methods, such as mean-variance, Bayesian methods, linear factor models, and strategic asset allocation; recent techniques such as neural networks and reinforcement learning, and more classical ones, including nonlinear and linear programming, principal component analysis, dynamic programming, and clustering. The authors use technical and nontechnical arguments to accommodate readers with different levels of mathematical preparation. The book is easy to read yet rigorous and contains a large number of exercises. Machine Learning for Asset Management and Pricing is intended for graduate students and researchers in finance, economics, financial engineering, and data science focusing on asset pricing and management. It will also be of interest to finance professionals and analysts interested in applying machine learning to investment strategies and asset management. This textbook is appropriate for courses on asset management, optimization with applications, portfolio theory, and asset pricing.

From the late 1990s, the spectacular growth of a secondary market for credit through derivatives has been matched by the emergence of mathematical modelling analysing the credit risk embedded in these contracts. This book aims to provide a broad and deep overview of this modelling, covering statistical analysis and techniques, modelling of default of both single and multiple entities, counterparty risk, Gaussian and non-Gaussian modelling, and securitisation. Both reduced-form and firm-value models for the default of single entities are considered in detail, with extensive discussion of both their theoretical underpinnings and practical usage in pricing and risk. For multiple entity modelling, the now notorious Gaussian copula is discussed with analysis of its shortcomings, as well as a wide range of alternative approaches including multivariate extensions to both firm-value and reduced form models, and continuous-time Markov chains. One important case of multiple entities modelling - counterparty risk in credit derivatives - is further explored in two dedicated chapters. Alternative non-Gaussian approaches to modelling are also discussed, including extreme-value theory and saddle-point approximations to deal with tail risk. Finally, the recent growth in securitisation is covered, including house price modelling and pricing models for asset-backed CDOs. The current credit crisis has brought modelling of the previously arcane credit markets into the public arena. Lipton and Rennie with their excellent team of contributors, provide a timely discussion of the mathematical modelling that underpins both credit derivatives and securitisation. Though technical in nature, the pros and cons of various approaches attempt to provide a balanced view of the role that mathematical modelling plays in the modern credit markets. This book will appeal to students and researchers in statistics, economics, and finance, as well as practitioners, credit traders, and quantitative analysts
