Mastering Regime-Switching Models for Asset Allocation and Risk Management in Python

The financial landscape is in constant flux, with periods of prosperity and downturns, growth and stagnation. Traditional financial models, often assuming stable market conditions, don´t capture this changes. This is where regime-switching models come into play. By knowing that financial markets alternate between distinct “regimes” with unique risk-return profiles, these models offer a powerful framework for navigating market volatility and improve investment strategies. This advanced Python tutorial will guide you through the theory and implementation of regime-switching models.
