Client Reviews

“WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! It was the first for me in professional capacity and literally loved the experience. The most dominating part of the whole program was the reality of things that is not so much part of a university curriculum.

I also see Kapil as a mentor and guru who has lot to offer. The structure of the program was very well curated and delivered with perfection. Kapil kept things simple and yet very effective and result-oriented.”

Rachit Jain

“I definitely rank my time with Titans of Wall Street as one of the best professional experiences thus far. As a student with a background in engineering and no finance, Kapil was able to skillfully help me bridge that gap and allow me to gain both knowledge and confidence in my problem solving skills as a trader.

Having access to a hedge fund manager for over an hour each week is definitely better than watching YouTube tutorials or reading online. Kapil goes above and beyond his role as a mentor even after the program ends as he truly wishes for each of his mentees to succeed and create change in the real world.

As soon as this program was over, I definitely did notice an increase in the number of applications I sent progress to the next stage. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who is willing to put in the time and effort to succeed as Kapil will provide you with the tools to do so. The mini-projects I completed each week as I sought to emulate his results definitely took my programming skills up a notch and allowed me to further develop myself after the program. It is definitely worth the investment.”

Vaikunth Seshadri

“The Titans of Wall Street program was a truly awesome and worthwhile experience. The knowledge and experience that Kapil brings to the program is invaluable. Kapil’s personal market strategies, his industry knowledge, combined with his mentorship make this a truly unique program. I highly recommend anyone interested in the hedge fund industry or investing in public markets to apply to the program.”

Christian Alberga

“The Titans of Wall Street training was a great course that really got me into the mindsight of how hedge fund traders think. A lot of courses are able to teach you technical skills when it comes to trading but this course really gives you perspective into how traders implement their strategies and the process they go through to ultimately find a winning strategy. Kapil is able to condense this knowledge during the sessions and I am grateful I was able to learn from an industry veteran.”

Ahad Bheda

“Titans of Wall Street program is truly a unique six-week experience. Surrounded by peers that shared the same passion as me in quantitative finance, I felt fabulous to hone quant skills that used real-world data and professional experiences. The program covers from building equity and options strategies to forming a portfolio of strategies. Finally, Mr. Rastogi will end up the program with insights of excelling quant interviews and invite an insider to help us build more comprehension of the industry. Mr. Rastogi, more than an instructor, is truly a mentor who helps and encourages me to be successful in the quantitative finance.”

You made the curriculum look so easy because you connected the topic with your so many years of experience. I would also like to say that ,Kapil has not only taught me new concepts but have also motivated and guided to think like the people in industry ( I am sure that others also feel the same way). Kapil has constantly guided me to overcome the unprecedented time that we are living in.

Kapil has also given us the opportunity to connect with of the stalwarts of the industry and get many useful insights. Also the projects that Kapil gave during the program were very insightful and I have personally learned a lot from them. Kapil not only told us what was supposed to done in those projects but also explained the rationale behind them. Since all the projects were based on industry data I was able to connect what I have learned in college and how the industry really works.”

Harsh Dev

“The practical knowledge that I gained throughout the Titans of Wall Street program was invaluable. Kapil provided an intuitive and engaging lesson each week, in which he shared his own experiences as well as the underlying thought process behind each lesson. Each lesson was followed up with a project in which Kapil discussed the results, as well as incorporating his depth of market knowledge to each project which was one of the most valuable aspects of the programs.

Kapil also provided networking opportunities and interview tactics regarding employment opportunities, based on his own experiences and what is currently expected in the industry. Kapil always makes it a point to answer questions regarding job opportunities, career paths, or general questions about the industry as a whole.

Guanzhuo Qiao

“Being part of the Titans Of Wall Street under Kapil’s assistance was such an amazing experience. I feel grateful for having the opportunity of being mentored by someone with such an impressive record within the financial industry. The projects in which we participated during the program resemble real world tasks from the industry. I had the opportunity of conducting in depth analysis of hedge funds’ performance and we even learned about quantitative trading strategies that can beat the SP500. Furthermore, Kapil serve as an enormous help when it comes to help us preparing for interviews and suggesting possible job opportunities. Finally, it was also great to work and share ideas with other many talented students within the Titans Of Wall Street.”

Alberto Maza Jr.

“Traditional classroom education or just reading from a book doesn’t make the cut anymore in the quantitative finance space. Many strategies that can be found in a book are hardly applied in real world situations. But Mr. Kapil, from his years of experience as a hedge fund manager, teaches quantitative analysis and trading strategies that he himself has used, in a way that is simple and is clearly understood.

There is a wealth of knowledge that is shared, and it gave me an inside look into how analysis in done in the real world giving me great deal of confidence. To be able to play with real hedge fund data is also a big plus. Most importantly, coding up all the exercises helps build a rich portfolio that is valuable to have on your resume and can really help get your foot in the door – I believe having hands-on experience definitely boosts the chances of your resume getting noticed.

The panelists who came to one of the sessions also shared a lot of information regarding job search, networking, and other hot skills on demand in this field. Overall, I found this program extremely useful and I highly recommend it.”

Swithin Roy

“The titans of wall street is one of a kind programs out there with a perfect blend of practical and theoretical knowledge. Given Kapil’s Experience in the industry he really helps students understand the nitty-grities of the market. Each of the projects given during the course target specific things and these are tactics used by Kapil himself.

The feedback given after each project helped me improve and better articulate my work, this has helped me a lot in interviews. Kapil has shared a lot of knowledge regarding job hunting and how we can maximize our chances of landing interviews. Also, along the way if he has opportunities he has recommended me to them if they matched my background and interest. I am thankful to Kapil for his guidance and mentorship during and after the program.”

Vardaan

“Kapil’s program Titans of Wall Street has been one of the best experiences of my professional life. I was fortunate enough to meet Kapil during my Wall Street Internship, and he became a guiding figure for me to navigate that summer.

When he reached out and mentioned a spot had opened up for Titans of Wall Street, I jumped at the opportunity to learn more from him. Even with a Honors degree in Finance, the program gave me tremendous knowledge on how the Hedge Fund industry works and how to set yourself apart from the competition in terms of generating Alpha. This wasn’t just a set of video lessons like a normal program.

Kapil gave us rigorous homework and was always there anytime I had a question on a concept or homework problem. At the end of the program, I felt extremely confident in my ability to recruit for a hedge fund and pass the interview in order to get these selected spots. If you have any interest in breaking into the world of Hedge Funds, I highly recommend the Titans of Wall Street’s program!”

“It’s a valuable experience to study in the Titans of Wall Street Program. It provides tons of hands-on quantitative projects that are based on real problems in the quantitative area. Through the program, I completed projects such as analyzing performance persistence in hedge funds, backtesting trading strategies to beat the S&P 500, evaluating the impact of the S&P 500 moving averages, creating an options strategy, etc. After I finish every project, Mr. Rastogi will give me feedback based on his own trading experience that can help me have a better understanding of the project, so I will be prepared to talk about those projects in future interviews. Mr. Rastogi also helped me to improve my resume and gave me lots of suggestions on searching for jobs. I now work on Artificial Intelligence for Trading done jointly with Google and Coursera!”

Full tuition is paid online at the time of enrollment.

  1. BE PERSISTENT AND DETERMINED: This is true for any industry, but especially true in the highly-competitive and selective hedge fund industry. Typically, there are several hundred resumes for one open trading position. Don’t let this dissuade you – the vast majority of candidates have zero trading experience and lack the grit necessary to succeed. That’s where you stand out from the pack.
  2. MAKE YOUR RESUME SHINE: Resumes are reviewed for seconds at a hedge fund, so place practical, compelling hands-on experience, at the top of the resume.
  3. DEVELOP APPROPRIATE TECHNICAL SKILLS: Python is currently the most popular computer coding language in the financial industry, but this may easily change in the future. Hence, it is essential to be proficient in an object-oriented language, as this will allow you to easily pick up any new language in upcoming years.
  4. REJECTION WILL HAPPEN:  You should expect to be rejected many times before receiving an offer – accept this as part of the process. No high GPA, no ivy-league degree helps you succeed in this industry. What does work is having practical hands-on trading experience before you interview at a hedge fund. For this reason, the opportunity to build actual trading strategies under the guidance of an experienced mentor is invaluable.

  1. MARKET OBSESSION: You thoroughly enjoy reading investment books, periodicals, and you love figuring out where the markets will go next. If so, I highly recommend: Market Wizards by Jack Schwager, New Market Wizards by Jack Schwager, and Inside the House of Money by Steven Drobny.
  2. FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS: You have an ability to set your mind on a goal, and you fully dedicate yourself towards accomplishing this goal. This is critical. It will take many years before you develop proficiency as a trader, and along the way you will encounter many setbacks.
  3. HUSTLE MENTALITY: Minimal guidance and self-motivation are keys for long-term success. Traders have very little time to provide guidance due to the intense nature of the business. Many times, you will be left to your own devices with little supervision, and you must be a self-starter that is constantly pursuing market knowledge. Is this you?
  4. PERIODIC SELF-REFLECTION: Financial markets will eventually expose any insecurity that you may have. Being a trader requires acute awareness of one’s limitations, and this is only possible through introspection. Self-awareness is the most important quality to have – you will not meet a single successful trader who lacks this quality.
