Our Teaching Framework

Foundation Building

We start with core financial principles and mathematical concepts. Students work through real market scenarios from day one, building confidence with actual Australian equity data and case studies from ASX-listed companies.

Model Development

Hands-on construction of DCF models, comparable company analysis, and precedent transactions. Each student builds their own valuation toolkit using Excel and specialized software, with direct feedback on methodology and assumptions.

Industry Application

Sector-specific challenges across mining, healthcare, technology, and financial services. We examine how valuation approaches differ between mature dividend-paying stocks and high-growth companies, using current market examples.

Professional Integration

Final projects mirror actual investment banking and equity research deliverables. Students present comprehensive company valuations, defending their assumptions and methodology to a panel including working analysts.

Theory Meets Market Reality

Live Market Data Integration

Every lesson incorporates current ASX prices, recent earnings releases, and breaking industry news. Students learn to adjust models based on real-time market movements.
Peer Review Sessions

Small group workshops where students challenge each other's assumptions. This mimics the collaborative scrutiny found in professional investment teams.
Industry Guest Speakers

Quarterly sessions with portfolio managers, equity researchers, and investment bankers who share current market insights and hiring expectations.
Practical Tool Mastery

Beyond Excel, students gain familiarity with Bloomberg Terminal functions, FactSet shortcuts, and Python libraries used in quantitative analysis roles.
