Training
The foundations of equity research: reading financial statements, analysing and valuing a company, developing an investment thesis, and the research standards HAVEN expects.
- IIWeeks 03–04
First research report
Students apply their training to a complete equity research report on a public company, then revise it in response to feedback.
- IIIWeeks 05–06
Second research report
A second report that goes deeper, building on the lessons of the first. Reports that meet HAVEN’s standard are considered for publication.
The detailed weekly syllabus, mentor involvement and review process are published with each cohort.

04 / Questions
Frequently asked.
Do I need previous experience?
It helps. Previous work, such as equity research reports or financial analysis, carries real weight in selection. The first two weeks still cover the foundations.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. The program is free.
Where does it take place?
Online, so students can join from anywhere in the world.
Is publication guaranteed?
No. Publication is earned. Reports are reviewed, and only those that meet HAVEN’s standard are published.
When is the next cohort?
Dates are announced when applications open.
Is HAVEN investment advice?
No. HAVEN is an educational program. Nothing we teach or publish is investment advice.
