Training Program (First Year Analysts)

The experiential learning begins with an 8-week training program. New analysts are introduced to the fundamentals of value investing, accounting, financial analysis, due diligence, modeling, and valuation.

After training, these skills continue to be refined during the 4-week GSIF pitch cycle. Analysts work 5 – 10 hours weekly preparing professional equity research on their sector. This research will culminate into a single, comprehensive pitch, given by each industry sector at the end of the 4-weeks.
