What’s In This Training?

The Forensic Analysis Bootcamp is an 8 week deep-dive into forensic equity analysis, featuring a 90-minute Zoom workshop each week.

This course is a slightly modified version of the training I deliver to some of the largest and top performing institutions globally – clients like Baillie Gifford, Schroders, Wellington Management and a $50bn hedge fund which is one of the largest, consistent and most successful in the world (but doesn’t want to encourage others to copy its advantages so I am not allowed even to tell you their name).

The content includes extensive use of real-life case studies and covers stocks spanning a wide range of sectors and regions. Here is just some of what you’ll learn:

• Why understand creative accounting, and why now
• Bad actors and case studies
• Issues with recognition of revenue
• How companies manipulate expenses and inflate profits
• How to detect shenanigans in a systematic way
• How to spot balance sheet issues
• Weaknesses of the cash flow statement and issues
• Tools and ratios to help your analysis
• After taking this course, you will have the forensic mindset and techniques needed to do world-class equity research. All you need to do is apply them.

About the author

This training will pay for itself three, four, even fifty times over.

That might sound too good to be true, but think about it. All it takes is:

1 mistake avoided in your personal investing account. In bear markets, stocks with shady accounting always get crushed.
1 promotion or opportunity earned through the deeper analysis you’ll produce after taking this course. Great work does not go unnoticed. Especially when the stakes are this high.
