Hi, I am a management graduate with CFA and FRM but i work in Fixed income space in which i value structured products/exotics viz.snowball,PRDC,CPPI etc.I developed interest in stochastic calculus and IR models but CFA/FRM curriculum doesnt teach these.As per as theory related to models and stochastic calculus is concerned i am quite comfortable with that but what i lack is implememtation skills.suggest Any couse viz.CQF which can help ?
I see you work for Barclays Captials, aren't you? :)
I think CQF would be the best option for you. It's short, practically oriented, it can be done part-time and it is now pretty prestigous.
Only disadvantage is it cost you almost as much as a decent Masters in Finance in UK or US....
I am having my Master's degree in biomedical engineering and a work exp. of 2 years. I am thinking of switching into quantitative finance field. Is CQF certificate enough for that switch? or should I consider one more MAster's option in Financial engineering?
