Investment Management Professional
For financial advisors, analysts, and finance staff who can already read a statement and now need to argue from one to a client, a committee, or a board. Two graduate courses in how capital decisions create or destroy value, and how to prove which one is happening.
Overview
Plenty of finance professionals can produce a number. Fewer can say whether it means the business created value and fewer still can defend that answer to a client or a committee that reads it differently. This certificate is built around that gap.
Two graduate courses, taken back to back. You work with the measures that separate accounting profit from economic value, Market Value Added and Economic Value Added, along with the cash flow and ratio analysis behind them.
The work stays applied throughout. You use each technique on your own organization as you learn it, document it in a Leadership Development Portfolio, and argue your conclusions with a cohort of people doing the same job elsewhere. You finish holding your own analysis, not just a transcript line.
Norwich delivers this certificate as the academic component of the Raymond James Advisory Mastery Program, which is why that cohort is made up of practicing advisors.
What you Will Learn
By the end of the certificate you will be able to:
- Calculate Market Value Added and Economic Value Added, and explain what each one reveals that reported earnings do not
- Analyze cash flows to establish whether performance is sustainable or borrowed from a future period
- Evaluate a company's performance through ratio analysis, and identify which ratios matter for the decision in front of you
- Apply each technique to your own organization as you learn it, rather than to a textbook case
- Defend your conclusions to a cohort of practicing finance professionals who will test them
- Build a Leadership Development Portfolio documenting your applied work, a deliverable you keep and can show a client or an employer
