Manage inflows and outflows while protecting core fund strategy
Monitor and interpret key performance and risk metrics
Communicate investment decisions clearly and convincingly
Understand how client needs, market volatility, and operations intersect

Do participants need prior experience in portfolio management? A basic understanding of asset classes and risk-return concepts is helpful, but the course includes onboarding to all key fund management principles.
Can participants choose different fund types? Yes. Instructors can assign equity funds, balanced funds, thematic funds, or sector-specific mandates.
How long does the course take? Typically 2–3 hours, though it can be extended across multiple rounds for longer-term strategy development and investor updates.
Individual or team-based play? Both options are available. Teams often take on roles such as portfolio manager, operations, and investor relations.
How is participants performance assessed? Based on portfolio returns, risk metrics, client retention, and quality of fund reporting and investor communication.
