Who is this programme designed for?
Experienced traders, investors, analysts, portfolio managers, brokers, wealth managers, and market
professionals with at least two years of active capital markets experience.
How is this different from a CFA or a traditional finance master's?
The CFA is a certification. Traditional finance master's programmes focus on theory. This programme
is built around live capital, practitioner-led learning, and global immersions. You graduate with a
verified trading track record, Bloomberg certification, a finance media platform, and much more.
Is this an MBA-equivalent program?
Yes. This is a 12-month postgraduate program delivered with MBA-level rigour, specialising in global
capital markets and trading.
How is the program structured?
The programme runs over 12 months across four terms, combining live online learning, three global
immersions, and hands-on Out Classes.
What are the Out Classes?
You'll build four real-world projects alongside the curriculum, including managing a $100,000
portfolio, launching a finance media platform, building a wealth management business, and creating a
global compliance playbook.
What is the Investment Committee?
A panel of practitioners who review your investment ideas, provide feedback, and approve trades
before execution.
What tools will I learn?
Bloomberg Terminal, FactSet, Refinitiv, Capital IQ, Python, MetaTrader, MATLAB, EViews, Zerodha,
CoinDCX, and more.
What happens during the global immersions?
Spend seven days each in Singapore, London, and New York, learning inside exchanges, hedge funds,
regulators, sovereign wealth funds, and financial institutions.
Are travel and accommodation included?
Yes. All travel and accommodation for the global immersions are included in the program fee.
What is the Dubai orientation?
The program begins with a three-day orientation in Dubai, where you'll meet your cohort, faculty,
and Investment Committee before the first term begins.
