In this workshop, we will explore how data science tools and techniques can be used to build and maintain an ETF-based investment portfolio. You will also understand what are exchange traded funds (ETFs) and what is a passive investment portfolio.
Data science techniques such as confidence intervals play an important role when comparing and selecting ETFs that are statistically capable to perform according to the investor's expected returns.
Data Science tools also help to track and periodically rebalance the portfolio.
