商品簡介
Advanced Quantitative Finance with Python and QuantLib-Python is a code-first, production-focused guide for quant developers, financial engineers, traders, and risk managers. It connects advanced financial theory with practical Python and QuantLib workflows, enabling readers to build reliable pricing, calibration, and risk engines that meet real front-office and risk-desk demands. The book starts with essential quantitative techniques--Black-Scholes valuation, analytic Greeks, finite-difference PDE solvers, and lattice models--then moves into real-market calibration of local-volatility surfaces and short-rate frameworks. Readers learn to build bootstrapped OIS curves, value callable bonds using Hull-White, BDT, and Black-Karasinski models, and price Bermudan swaptions under multi-factor HJM dynamics. High-performance Monte Carlo simulations using Sobol sequences, control variates, and path-dependent exotic pricing are covered in detail. Performance benchmarking is integral throughout, comparing implementations across NumPy, Numba, QuantLib-Python 1.42.. The book includes ready-to-run Jupyter notebooks, and QuantLib-Python builds for immediate execution. Readers also learn to extend QuantLib classes--Payoff, Exercise, PricingEngine--to prototype custom derivatives. Integration with portfolio optimization, backtesting, and VaR/CVaR workflows and Advanced Stochastic Models By the end, readers gain the skills to build fast, auditable, and production-ready pricing and risk systems. The book transforms advanced quantitative finance concepts into deployable solutions, equipping practitioners to deliver modern, high-performance analytics across trading, modeling, and risk functions. What you will learn: Build production-grade pricing engines in Python using QuantLib-Python--from Black-Scholes to Bermudan swaptions under two-factor HJM dynamics. Calibrate real-market curves and surfaces with bootstrapping, spline interpolation, and global optimizers. Accelerate simulations and PDE solvers with Numba, Sobol sequences, control variates, and ADI finite differences. Deploy auditable risk and backtesting pipelines for VaR, stress testing, and multi-asset portfolio optimization with Advanced Stochastic Models for volatility Who this book is for: Financial engineers in banks, quant developers, hedge funds, or proprietary trading firms. MSc and PhD quantitative finance students. FinTech CTOs and leaders of algorithmic trading teams.
