Advanced Financial Modeling
Advanced Financial Modeling teaches you how investment bankers model companies in real life. Everything is based on a case study of Microsoft’s offer to acquire Yahoo, and real SEC filings and equity research from banks such as Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley are used throughout the course.
