Most analysts can plug numbers into a DCF model. But ask them why they chose that discount rate? That's where things get awkward. We teach the reasoning behind the formulas because understanding trumps memorization every single time.

Here's what happens in most finance courses. You learn DCF, comps, precedent transactions. Check, check, check. Then you walk into a real deal and realize the textbook never mentioned what to do when the company has negative cash flows. Or operates in three different currencies. Or just acquired a competitor last month.
We built this program around actual valuation challenges that crop up in Bangkok's financial district, Singapore deals, and regional M&A work. You'll work through messy scenarios where the data doesn't cooperate and the deadline was yesterday. Because that's what the job actually looks like.
Our autumn 2025 cohort starts October 15th. Applications open in July for anyone working in financial analysis, investment banking, or corporate development roles across Southeast Asia.
You can't just pick one valuation approach and call it done. Each method reveals something different about a company's worth, and the smart money checks all three before making a call.
The theoretical gold standard. We strip away the mystery around WACC calculations and terminal values. You'll learn when DCF makes sense and when it's basically guesswork dressed up in spreadsheet formulas.
Trading multiples sound simple until you need to pick which companies actually compare. We dig into industry-specific adjustments and how to defend your peer selection when someone inevitably questions your choices.
Past deals offer clues but also traps. Market conditions change, deal structures vary, and sometimes buyers just overpay. You'll learn to extract useful insights while avoiding the common pitfalls that make this method unreliable.
We run eight-month intensive programs twice yearly. The next cycle kicks off October 2025 and wraps up May 2026. You'll spend roughly 12 hours per week on coursework, case studies, and live sessions with instructors who've valued everything from tech startups to infrastructure projects.
Investment Analyst, Regional PE Fund
I went through the 2024 program while working full-time in Bangkok. The case studies used companies I could actually research, not hypothetical businesses from American textbooks. Three months after finishing, I led my first solo valuation for a potential acquisition. My managing director asked how I got comfortable with the sector analysis so quickly. This course is why.
