“It’s an apprenticeship business” and “you’ll learn through osmosis'' are words you’ve heard before.

What if…

the path to analyst mastery didn’t require years of painful trial and error?

instead of trying to ‘figure it out on your own,’ you had an experienced investor to show you frameworks & processes that work?

dumb mistakes could be avoided by learning the common pitfalls of the seat from our (many) mistakes?

Let us take you from "struggling” to "mastery" with the Fundamental Edge Analyst Academy.

Fundamental Edge on AIMA’s The Long-Short Podcast

Hosted by the Alternative Investment Management Association.

"Brett masterfully curated and delivered a masterclass each day on different topics essential to navigating life on the desk as an analyst."

Billy Z, Stamford CT
"Fundamental Edge has, within four weeks, significantly advanced my investment process to a degree comparable to previous full summer buyside internships"

Ryan J, New Jersey
"Fundamental Edge Academy is the only place on the planet that I am aware of where you can get a glance into a very well-structured investment process that has been developed, polished and fine-tuned for years and that is being taught by an experienced investor who was managing $1B+ in assets."

Portfolio Manager, Bay Area
"The Academy comprehensively covered the most fundamental buy-side concepts, and offered many tips and tricks to accelerate the learning curve of a new analyst. I gained knowledge that would have taken me years to acquire on the job."

Cyrus C, Miami
"Academy is a must for those looking to polish and refine their analyst toolkit."

Brendan B, Philadelphia
"The single best decision you can make for your career. I’ve worked in the finance industry/buy-side for nearly a decade with several years at multi-billion dollar HFs / investment firms and can attest that The Academy is second to none"

John B, NYC
"Fundamental Edge is a great way to learn the toolkits of the buy-side. It helped me understand the market and its participants, as well as refining my own research process. Furthermore, I acquired insights into what it takes to mentally succeed on the buy side."

Kim M, Germany
"Brett supplied us with numerous tools and frameworks which are super practical! He is definitely a gifted teacher and can convey difficult concepts in a simple way."

Olga E, London
"The Academy provides aspiring investors with clear, concise, and practical frameworks and best practices on how to succeed in the industry. Content delivery has been meticulously engineered to cater to a broad audience."

Michael C, Hong Kong
"There is no doubt that I gained a lot of confidence in just 4 weeks, and I left every class session excited to put the toolkit to use."

Dylan R, New York
"I could not recommend Academy highly enough. Brett’s content leaves no stone unturned and is a cheat code for any analyst who wants to level up beyond their experience."

David G, Australia
"Truly an invaluable experience, I finally felt like I had a true mentor, after meandering in the industry for a couple of years now"

Jeremy Y, Canada
"The Academy delivered on everything it set out to be and more. I’ve been on the buy-side for two years now and feel comfortable in saying that Academy would have ramped me up to speed on the desk much quicker had I done it a lot earlier."

Eric N, Australia
