FEC FINANCIAL ENGINEERING CLUB

WHAT IS FINANCIAL ENGINEERING?  Multidisciplinary field applying mathematics, engineering methods, and programming techniques to financial theory.  Traditionally, mathematical modelling of financial phenomena that is implemented via some programming language.  Nowadays, can refer to any application of technical tools to finance.  Traders  Quants  Software Developers

MEAN REVERSION  Idea – If two securities are co-integrated and they diverge in price, they should eventually converge to their normal ratio.  Mean Reversion strategies capitalize on this idea by buying the underpriced security and shorting (selling) the overprice security.  We assume that the overprice security will fall in price and/or the underprice security will rise in price.  When this happens, liquidate your position.  $$$  The strategy is market neutral, such that the trend of the overall market will not result in huge losses or gains.
