A comprehensive Rust library for quantitative finance, offering pricing models, risk analysis, and financial data tools.
RustQuant is a Rust library for quantitative finance that provides tools for pricing financial instruments, modeling stochastic processes, performing risk analysis, and handling financial data. It solves the need for a high-performance, memory-safe quantitative finance library in the Rust ecosystem, offering modules for derivatives pricing, portfolio management, and mathematical finance.
Quantitative developers, financial engineers, and researchers who need a performant and safe library for financial modeling, algorithmic trading systems, or academic research in Rust.
Developers choose RustQuant for its combination of Rust's safety and performance with comprehensive quantitative finance features, including algorithmic differentiation, stochastic modeling, and instrument pricing, all in a single open-source library.
Rust library for quantitative finance.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Leverages Rust's type system and memory model to ensure correctness and speed, making it suitable for both research and production use, as highlighted in the philosophy section.
Includes implementations for bonds, options, and other instruments with pricing models, such as Black-Scholes, covering key financial tools for quantitative analysis.
Provides generators for Brownian motion and short-rate models (CIR, Vasicek, Hull-White), enabling accurate simulations for risk assessment and derivative pricing.
Supports reading/writing from CSV, JSON, Parquet and downloading data from Yahoo! Finance, simplifying data pipelines for financial applications.
The README admits 'Future additions' for instruments like swaps, futures, and CDSs, limiting immediate use for complex derivatives beyond basic options and bonds.
Currently only offers linear and logistic regression with k-NN, which may not suffice for advanced predictive modeling or AI-driven trading strategies in finance.
While Rust offers safety, its learning curve can be a barrier for teams familiar with Python or C++, which are more dominant in quantitative finance ecosystems.
