Your Development Path
We built this curriculum by analyzing what investment professionals actually need. Not theory for the sake of it, but skills you'll use during your first week on the job.
Foundation Module
Start with financial statement analysis fundamentals. You'll learn to spot inconsistencies in balance sheets and identify red flags in cash flow statements using real company filings from Philippine and regional markets.
Valuation Techniques
Move into practical valuation methods. We cover DCF modeling, comparable company analysis, and precedent transactions with emphasis on emerging market adjustments and currency considerations.
Risk Assessment
Develop your ability to evaluate investment risks across different asset classes. Learn to quantify market, credit, and operational risks using scenario analysis and stress testing frameworks.
Portfolio Construction
Apply your analytical skills to building balanced portfolios. Understand asset allocation strategies, diversification principles, and how to optimize risk-return profiles for different investor objectives.
Capstone Project
Complete a comprehensive investment analysis project. You'll present your findings to experienced professionals who provide detailed feedback on your methodology and recommendations.
What You'll Actually Learn
Forget memorizing formulas you'll never use. Our focus is on building analytical judgment that helps you make better investment decisions under uncertain conditions.
- Read financial statements like an investigator, not an accountant
- Build valuation models that account for real-world complexities
- Assess credit quality across corporate and sovereign issuers
- Construct portfolios that balance return objectives with risk constraints
- Communicate investment ideas clearly to stakeholders
- Apply quantitative methods without losing sight of qualitative factors
How We Teach Differently
Case-Based Learning
Every session centers on real investment scenarios. You'll analyze actual company situations, market events, and portfolio decisions. We use anonymized cases from Philippine conglomerates, regional banks, and multinational corporations operating in Southeast Asia.
Practical Application
Theory matters only when you can apply it. You'll complete weekly assignments that mirror the work investment analysts perform daily. Build models, write investment memos, and present recommendations just as you would in a professional setting.
What Past Participants Say
We asked recent graduates to share honest feedback about their experience and how the program helped them professionally.
The valuation module changed how I approach company analysis. I finally understood why textbook methods often need adjustment for emerging markets. The instructors pushed me to think critically rather than just follow formulas.
What helped most was learning to communicate analytical findings clearly. The program taught me that brilliant analysis means nothing if you can't explain it to non-technical stakeholders. That skill has been valuable in my current role.
The capstone project was challenging but incredibly useful. I built a complete investment thesis on a mid-cap company and defended it in front of professionals who actually work in the industry. That experience prepared me well for client presentations.
