Previously, either we would invest our money ourselves or we would hire a wealth manager to handle our Portfolio. Now, robo advisors have arrived, which means a digital platform that will assess your goals and how much risk appetite you can handle. According to that, it will

suggest to you what should be in your Portfolio. And, in fact, it will invest on your behalf. This is like crazy stuff going on. Which is why I’ll recommend you this one particular course that will help you learn this skill. The name of this course is "Innovations in

Investment Technology." This is also available on Coursera. It’s a complete course of 10 hours. By using the same process as before, you can enroll for free. The third skill is that of using machine learning in Portfolio management. So there are big companies and they

have Portfolios. They used to do their analysis using statistics first. But now, for solving any investment problems, machine learning models are also being used to improve upon that analysis. Just imagine, earlier you were using statistics. Now you are also using ML in it, to come

to an even better conclusion. Only those individuals will be able to properly take up this particular course, who have an engineering background or knowledge of Machine Learning (ML). I would recommend that you check out the content once. Go through the modules. If you feel that understanding

Python & ML is easy for you then you can take it up. This is a pretty lengthy course, it’s a total of 16 hours. But it’s a very valuable course. Its name is "Python and ML for Asset Management". You will also find this course on the Coursera’s

website. The fourth skill is AI in the Insurance industry. ‘Insurance’ and ‘Real Estate’ are two Industries that

are undergoing significant changes because of AI. And the reason for this is that the use cases within these particular Industries are quite similar, making them easier to solve with

technology. The fintech interventions happening in both Industries Or that have happened in the past. They are explained using the method of case studies in this particular course. So if

you look at the last module of this course that is properly regarding case studies. I would recommend this course to everyone. Because it’s a 3-hour course, so anybody can do it. Plus, ‘Insurtech’, which is like the amalgamation of fintech in Insurance. It’s

a completely new concept that has emerged. So if you learn this skill, then you will know something in this industry that many other professionals in Insurance and Real Estate may not know. You will also find this course on the Coursera’s website. Its name is

"Applications of AI, Insurtech, and Real Estate Tech". The fifth and final skill is that of Blockchain in Payments. So blockchain is a relatively new technology. Which is why very few people know how it is being used in payments. You must have heard about

href="https://cashnews.co/crypto" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1a73e8; text-decoration: none;">Cryptocurrency. And you must also know that its market is highly volatile. So I am not saying that you understand its applications. Instead, what I will recommend is that you understand the

broader aspect of Cryptocurrency, how blockchain is used in it, or what the general concept of blockchain is. Because of it, how the payments industry is changing. So for this, I will

recommend you a course. It will cover the basics of blockchain. And it will also explain the strengths and weaknesses of Cryptocurrency. This course is 8 hours long, it’s a quite basic

course. You’ll find this particular course on Coursera’s website. You can enroll for free. The name of this course is "Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Explained". The list
