  • Understand the main company valuation methods (asset based valuation methods, going concern valuation methods, relative valuation methods)

Investing requires practice. In this training, we will practice all absolute and relative valuation methods with 4 companies – 2 luxury companies (Richemont and Kering) and 2 tech companies (Apple and Microsoft). We will apply all our learnings each time for those 4 companies instead of using dummy companies that do not exist. 

The course will also cover special valuation situations like VC investments, IPOs/DPOs and banks. In those special valuation situations, we will be practicing on companies like Fitbit, GoPro, Etsy for the IPO/DPO part and Bank of America and Wells Fargo for bank valuation part.

Investing in stocks and acting as a business-owner can be a life-changing experience. Learn from my 20 years experience as an investor running my own investment fund and rapidly move ahead faster with the knowledge I will share with you.
