Investing courses

Investing isn’t something best left to the pros.

Our online courses are the only place you can learn from a seasoned investment professional and a former Tiger Cub Partner.

Main Courses
“The webinar was fantastic. I've taken several online courses, and the rub is always how to ask questions. Your system of reviewing content and allowing people to type questions is super effective.”
Sanjeev Kriplani, California
“Great and insightful course – Steve combines a deep theoretical knowledge with the practical understanding of a seasoned equity analyst. Behind the Balance Sheet offers useful lessons and additional resources for the serious analyst. I enjoyed the course and recommend it to my peers.”
Philipp Stampfer, Lansdowne
“Investors are often drowning in information but starving for insight. Steven’s course delivers the latter in large amounts. My ability to analyse financial statements and evaluate equity investments has substantially improved.”
James Fournier, Fixed Income Trader and Private Investor, Hong KongAnalyst Academy February 2020 Cohort
“I have already tried some of the lessons in the Academy. Must say that this is really excellent content. Though I have studied many of the issues you address you provide more than an extra edge. What can I say, its fantastic content and added value. Thanks again and I will certainly recommend your courses to any colleagues.”
Professional analyst and CFA Charterholder at asset manager, Middle East.Analyst Academy June 2020 Cohort
“…..Another standout is engagement - regular articles of interest are shared with other learners, no questions are left unanswered and discussions are encouraged. It is clear that Steve cares about your learning and the value you obtain from his course. I'd recommend Steve's courses to anyone that wishes to take the plunge and I will not hesitate to resume learning in the future. An extremely valuable service!”
Ben Briscoe, WokinghamAnalyst Academy February 2020 Cohort
‘A great course, really useful to hear from Steve and benefit from his many years of experience, he was very generous with his time and provided additional help outside the original brief’. An extended bull market and low rates has encouraged a very creative and loose accounting culture and this is a great course getting you prepared for when the tide goes out’
Justin AbercrombieSchroders
Excellent course, relevant and suitable for all levels of experience from entry level analysts to seasoned portfolio managers. Steve does a great job in categorising the various relevant topics and manages to make the sometimes dull topics more entertaining.
Monesh KirpalaniIbis Capital
“Course was very well pitched and covered a lot of good material with a range of worked examples to enhance learning. Steve knows his stuff. Extremely good value from a very strong practitioner.”
Principal of a family office
“I found the case studies and examples very useful; it really opened by eyes to the importance of challenging company management on the numbers presented in the financial accounts, particularly within the cash flow statement.”
