Speaker Series: Systematic Credit Trading w/ Anshuman Shankar, FRM (Goldman Sachs)
Ever wondered how top-tier investment banks combine data science, quantitative models, and fixed-income markets to execute multi-million dollar trades?
Join us for an exclusive speaker session with Anshuman Shankar from Goldman Sachs as he pulls back the curtain on Systematic Credit Trading. Whether you are looking to break into quantitative finance, algorithmic trading, or software engineering on Wall Street, this session will provide invaluable, real-world industry insights.
Unlike traditional discretionary trading, systematic trading relies on mathematical models and automated algorithms to identify market inefficiencies and execute trades in corporate bonds and credit derivatives. Anshuman will break down:
- The Evolution of Trading: How technology has transformed credit markets from old-school phone negotiations to automated, high-frequency algorithms.
- The Systematic Framework: An introduction to how quant models parse massive datasets to find value in corporate debt.
- Interactive Workshop: Put theory into practice with a hands-on, live trading-related activity designed to show you how systematic traders think and operate.
- Live Q&A: Your chance to ask Anshuman anything about algorithmic market trends, the tech stack behind modern trading desks, and how to land a role at an elite firm like Goldman Sachs.
