Eric Thayer/ReutersThe world of investment banking can seem overly complex, even to those with a working knowledge of the stock market and the basic principles of trading. While you might manage your personal investments through a mutual fund, and know which numbers to check to see if that investment is going well or poorly, concepts like mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings, and financial modeling still may go over your head.
For anyone who wishes to better understand the world of investment banking, whether with hopes of breaking into the industry or simply looking to widen the breadth of their knowledge, the course Intro to Investment Banking, M&A, IPO, Modeling currently being offered by Udemy, might be right for you.
The course is instructed Chris Haroun, a business school professor who worked on IPOs during his time at Goldman Sachs. His book, “101 Crucial Lessons They Don't Teach You in Business School," was recently named 1 of 6 books that all entrepreneurs need to read right now by Forbes. Through his course, Haroun aims to espouse the basics of investment banking to interested students, explaining the ins and outs of IPOs and mergers and acquisitions. By the end of the course, Haroun hopes for his students to understand how investment banking firms work and create financial models from scratch.
Enrollment in the course normally runs for $49 but you can get it for just $19 through the end of the month if you use the code “INSIDER229” at checkout. Haroun is one of the highest rated professors on Udemy, so you can expect to be in good hands through the course of your education.
