This course helped me understand what hedge fund and mutual fund analysts do as well as how I could develop a career to become like them. More importantly, I appreciated the examples using real companies with templates and spreadsheets to emulate Chris Haroun's methodology with his insights and tips for success. As a practitioner, Chris bridges the gaps in theory that I learned in business school with his vast work experience, ranging from being an investment banker to a venture capitalist. I'm grateful for this course, which helped me become a better investor by learning how to research and build financial models (without solely relying on other analysts especially during these volatile times).

By Łukasz Piotrowski on 8/20/2024

I expected more information on how the market works, what events trigger certain behaviors in the market, etc. I think about 80% of the content is the same as in 'The Complete Financial Analyst and Investing Course.' However, Chris is a great teacher, and I would be more than happy to buy a course where he focuses more on the market, trading, working in a hedge fund, the relationships that occur in the stock market, and so on.

By Jacqueline George on 3/25/2021

Chris is an excellent teacher which is honed from many years of working in Wall St. His junior analysts were very lucky to work with him - he's a great mentor. This course Perfectly complements an investment course I'm taking as it gives me an excellent perspective for fundamentals when researching a stock (both value and growth investments). Chris is an excellent teacher and breaks things down into PERFECT bite size pieces. I would recommend this course to anyone.

By Cathy Kee on 1/1/2021

This is an excellent course. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I am not going to be a hedge fund or mutual fund analyst or PM, I only wanted knowledge of how the stock market functions and the way this course was presented, I found it so easy to grasp the concepts. The formulas that Chris presented, the calculations and example exercises were extremely useful. It was absolutely a delightful course to take. The personal experiences that Chris included made it more like an engaging story. Thank you so much Chris. And the team you have. Best, Cathy

Very good course that is definitely worth its money. Chris is an awesome instructor that succeeds in keeping everything interesting. I gave it 4 stars because in my opinion some topics could use a bit more detailed explanation.
edit: changed rating to 4.5 stars because Chris answers your questions very quickly. How great is that?!
