Comprehensive Value Investing Course
The wealth advice landscape on social media is rife with generic investing rhetoric, offering little insight into the specifics of proper investment valuation. Although plenty of advice exists on investing, structured and methodical approaches are scarce. Our value investing course follows the methodologies taught at the prestigious Columbia Business School and offers a distinctive opportunity to learn how to assess the intrinsic value of a business in three ways. We do not provide guidance on investment opportunities, but rather teach our students the skills needed to identify and assess options for themselves.
