Market Cycles and Long-term Perspective
After managing portfolios through the 2008 crisis, dot-com bubble, and recent volatility, I've learned that understanding market psychology is just as important as financial analysis. Students need to develop emotional discipline alongside technical skills.
The Evolution of Investment Research
Technology has democratized access to financial data, but it's also created information overload. Teaching students to filter signal from noise and focus on what actually drives long-term returns remains our core mission.
Practical Application Focus
Every concept we teach gets tested through case studies and portfolio exercises. Students learn by doing—analyzing real companies, building actual portfolios, and defending their investment theses just like they would in professional settings.
Preparing for Industry Changes
ESG integration, algorithmic trading, and changing regulations continue reshaping investment management. Our curriculum evolves to ensure graduates understand both timeless principles and emerging industry trends.
