Torsten Lindqvist
Lead Instructor
Started in equity research back in 2009. Spent years building models that banks actually used. Now I teach because explaining complex systems is oddly satisfying.
Financial Analytics Training Program
We built this program after watching too many analysts struggle with tools that should make their lives easier. Six months of practical training that covers what you'll actually use in the field.
Saoirse Duggan
Data Analytics
Working with Asian markets since 2012 taught me that clean data matters more than fancy algorithms. My sessions focus on finding patterns that actually mean something.
Mirela Kovalenko
Risk Management
Survived two market crashes as a risk analyst. Good at spotting red flags before they become problems. Also good at explaining why those flags matter.
Vesna Thorsen
Portfolio Analysis
Fifteen years managing portfolios across three continents. I've made mistakes so you won't have to. The practical stuff matters most.
What You'll Actually Learn
Foundation Phase
Financial statements don't lie, but they can be confusing. We start with reading balance sheets the way professionals do. Then move into cash flow analysis because that's where real insights hide.
Weeks 1-8
Technical Skills Development
You'll work with AdvanceXNeo's analysis platform daily. Build models that handle real market data. Learn SQL queries that actually save time. Get comfortable with pivot tables that make sense.
Weeks 9-16
Market Analysis Methods
Taiwan's financial sector has unique characteristics. You'll analyze local market trends and compare them with regional patterns. Understand currency fluctuations. Work through actual scenarios from 2024.
Weeks 17-20
Applied Projects
Final eight weeks involve building complete analyses from scratch. Pick an industry, research it thoroughly, create presentations that stakeholders would take seriously. We critique everything.
Weeks 21-28
Autumn 2025 Program
Start Date
Sept 15
Duration
28 Weeks
Format
Hybrid
Classes meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 6:30-9:00 PM. Saturday workshops run monthly for hands-on practice. Everything's recorded if you miss a session. Our New Taipei facility has workstations set up with the software you'll need. Remote attendance works fine too — we tested it extensively during 2024.
Group sizes stay small. Twelve students maximum per cohort. This isn't a lecture hall situation. You'll get direct feedback on your work, not generic comments.
