Why we built this
Principles are taught. Judgement is practised.
Study establishes important principles. Avenor Partners provides the structure to put them to work on financial analysis and valuation.
In the first three weeks you interpret financial statements, build a comparable company analysis, and prepare a simplified discounted cash flow on a listed company of your choosing.
You then defend a listed stock pitch before a jury and develop an in-depth final report over four weeks.
Major deliverables
A stock pitch and an M&A report.
