because the program's curriculum is very rich and covers almost all academic aspects of investment banking as well as practical industry elements. The overall aim of the program is provide the participants with the necessary skills to excel in Investment banking, international capital markets, valuation, M & A's, LBO's, Venture capital, Private equity, Hedge Funds, Asset Management, Entrepreneurship. My plan to attend the program was to enable me consolidate my investment banking career by acquiring additional skills and sharpening my current skills in corporate finance, valuations, sales and trading, wealth management and entrepreneurship as well as networking by way of meeting other seasoned industry professionals from around the world. How has Swiss Finance prepared you for chosen career? What was the best part of the Swiss Finance experience?
The program was introduced to me by an Alumni who attended the program in 2008. I browsed through and got all the details of the program and did not hesitate in applying, having fulfilled all the admission requirements. After attending the program in July 2009, it has completely changed my vision and horizon of Investment Banking perception. I have learnt so much and have given me the opportunity to consolidate my investment banking skills, with particular reference to Valuations techniques, M&As, International capital market, Private Equity, Asset Management, LBOs, Sales &Trading, Entrepreneurship, Presentations / Interviewing pitches and Wealth Management as well as Networking. Even though the program was extremely rigorous, a time was set for during weekends for recreational and networking activities. Moreover, the Faculty members were carefully selected and have hands-on-experience in all areas of Investment Banking. They brought with them unique and valuable industry experiences to classroom. The areas that I liked most in the program were those that I have deficiencies and did not have full exposed. I therefore paid more attention to them and did some extra reading to enable me apprehend them. The areas included Valuations, M&As Deals, International Capital Markets and Entrepreneurships. With this exposure, I think I have adequately prepared myself to be an Entrepreneur at the end of Swiss Finance program. In fact, no sooner I came back from the program than I started implementing some of the key concepts learnt and has positively impacted on my job output.
