Investment Academy · London

The Academy cohort

The Investment Academy is Strand Global’s training programme for students who want to learn how a fund works from the inside.

Each week we cover a part of the investment process, from researching a company or a macro theme to building a view, sizing a position and presenting it, with sessions led by members of the fund and practical work in small groups.
