Paper: SSRN 3773484

Abstract

These presentation slides have been written for the Advanced Course in Asset Management (theory and applications) given at the University of Paris-Saclay. They

Complexity vs Empirical Score

• Math Complexity: 7.5/10
• Empirical Rigor: 3.0/10
• Quadrant: Lab Rats — theoretically deep, empirically untested

Why this score: The slides present advanced mathematical theory including Markowitz optimization, CAPM, and Black-Litterman models with quadratic programming formulations and covariance matrix algebra. While it includes tutorial exercises and practice sections, it lacks empirical backtesting data, code implementations, or statistical performance metrics, remaining primarily theoretical and educational.
