In this second volume of the Artificial Intelligence in Finance series, the authors explore how reinforcement learning (RL) is transforming financial modelling, strategy and decision-making.

What you’ll learn:

  • Foundations first: Markov decision processes, optimal policy learning, and general RL frameworks.
  • Next-level techniques: Hybrid models that fuse RL with deep learning, stochastic approximation, temporal difference learning, and even large language models.
  • Real-world impact:
    • Portfolio and wealth management.
    • Algorithmic trading.
    • Options pricing and hedging.
    • Risk management and beyond.
  • State-of-the-art tools: Explore how transformers and graph neural networks handle complex financial datasets with unprecedented flexibility.

With a clear focus on practical application, this book blends rigorous theory with hands-on tools to help professionals and academics alike build smarter, more scalable financial systems.

Whether you’re optimising trading strategies, managing risk or researching future-proof AI tools, this book is your road map to applying RL in the real world of finance.
