Financial Valuation That Actually Makes Sense
Most analysts struggle because they're taught formulas without context. We show you how real companies get valued — not just how textbooks say they should be. Starting September 2025, our program covers DCF modeling, comparable analysis, and the judgment calls that separate good valuations from mediocre ones.
You'll work through actual case studies from emerging markets. Not hypothetical scenarios — real businesses with messy financials and complicated stories.

Six Techniques You'll Actually Use
We focus on methods that matter in 2025. Skip the outdated approaches and build skills around what investment banks, PE firms, and corporate finance teams rely on every day.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Build DCF models from scratch. We'll walk through revenue projections, expense forecasting, and terminal value calculations. Then you'll learn when DCF makes sense and when it doesn't — because context matters more than formulas.
Trading Comparables
Find the right peer group and adjust for differences. Most people pick terrible comparables — we teach you how to spot that and build defensible multiples.
Transaction Multiples
Understand control premiums and deal context. Precedent transactions tell a story about how markets value specific assets — you'll learn to read between the lines.
Asset-Based Valuation
When companies hold significant tangible assets or trade below book value, this approach becomes critical. Real estate holdings, inventory writedowns, and liquidation scenarios all require different thinking.
LBO Analysis
Model leveraged buyouts to understand what private equity sees. Returns depend on debt structure, exit timing, and operational improvements — not just purchase price.
Sum-of-the-Parts
Value conglomerates by breaking them down. Different business units deserve different multiples — this method forces you to think segment by segment.
Work With Real Market Data
We pull financials from Vietnamese companies, regional banks, and Southeast Asian transactions. You'll see how currency fluctuations, regulatory changes, and market volatility affect valuations in practice.
Each case study includes actual investor presentations and analyst reports. You'll compare your work against what professionals published — and understand where they made trade-offs or judgment calls.
Learn From Linh Trang Hoang
Linh spent eight years in equity research covering industrial and consumer companies across Asia. She's valued everything from construction firms to retail chains — and she'll show you the shortcuts and sanity checks analysts actually use.
Her sessions focus on building models quickly without sacrificing accuracy. You'll learn where precision matters and where rough estimates work just fine. That balance takes experience to develop.
How The Program Works
Twelve weeks starting September 2025. Two evening sessions per week, plus weekend workshops where you'll build models and review peer work. Expect to spend 8-10 hours weekly on assignments and case prep.
Foundations
Financial statement analysis and accounting fundamentals. We'll make sure everyone understands balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow before moving forward.
Core Methods
Build DCF models and comparable company analyses. You'll value three different businesses using multiple approaches to see how results vary.
Advanced Applications
LBO modeling, merger analysis, and restructuring scenarios. These weeks involve longer case studies with incomplete information — just like real projects.
Capstone Project
Pick a public company and build a full valuation report. Present your findings to the group and defend your assumptions. This becomes a portfolio piece.
Why Valuation Skills Matter More Now
Capital markets in Southeast Asia are evolving quickly. More IPOs, more cross-border deals, and more scrutiny on pricing. Analysts who can justify their numbers with clear logic and solid models stand out.
Whether you're advising on acquisitions, building investment theses, or evaluating portfolio companies — valuation discipline matters. It's not about perfect precision. It's about building frameworks that help you make better decisions when information is incomplete.
"The program helped me move from basic spreadsheet work to building models I could actually present to senior management. Linh's feedback was direct and practical — exactly what I needed."
Applications for our September 2025 cohort open in June. We keep groups small to allow detailed feedback on your work. If you're serious about developing these skills, reach out with questions or review the full curriculum.
