What current students and participants are saying about our recent programs...
"Participating in the IvyLine Capital Investment and Derivative Program has been an amazing opportunity. As a recent graduate with a finance degree, I was looking for a platform that would offer me the investment/trading knowledge that I wasn’t taught in my advanced finance classes. This program did just that and more. I was exposed to concepts that guided me in building a successful portfolio and provided me with the ability to analyze and understand the market. Being a cohort member has made me stand out among my peers and has increased my marketability when it comes to future job applications. Most importantly, it has also given me confidence in my ability to engage in conversations about the market and has motivated me to keep learning and growing throughout my career.
Along with the learning feature, another benefit of the program was the mentorship and networking opportunities. The mentors are extremely hands-on and will challenge you to push yourself in order to fully develop the skills needed to work in finance. In my personal experience, Isaac has become not only a teacher, but also a significant mentor in my career and my life. Guest speakers sessions also offer a great platform to hear from individuals already in the industry which allows you a glance at what constitutes the day-to-day life of finance professionals.

I highly recommend this program to individuals that are intellectually curious and want to develop their market knowledge. I am delighted to have had the opportunity to be a part of such a prestigious experience."

“The IvyLine Investment and Derivative Program helped me in a time when I was searching for valuable learning experience within capital markets on top of my schoolwork. Little did I know it would introduce me to a diverse and passionate group of individuals who work toward the same goals as me. Not only did Isaac, the founder of IvyLine Capital, teach me financial principles and concepts for investment management, he motivated me as a student and helped foster my passion for finance and economics. He is a true mentor.”
 
“Following my work within the mentorship program, the team offered me an internship to lead a unique group of students from USC, UPenn, and Harvard. I was able to learn how a hedge fund is managed closely, and more importantly what it takes to raise capital, expand a business, and lead a research heavy project. It was an opportunity that motivated me into other aspects of business and continued teach me. As the second term came I continued working for IvyLine and dove into more technical analysis of securities. This helped me when I began looking toward the following years applications and gave me a strong, diverse background that I am proud to share.”

There is extreme depth to each topic covered, and materials are reinforced by real-world examples. There are opportunities to participate in challenges among members of the Program that add another layer of knowledge. My favorite part of the Program is the guest lecture series, where we are able to further explore new topics and see lecture material come to life. Without a doubt, the Investment & Derivatives Program not only expands your knowledge, but your network as well."

The program at IvyLine Capital opened a lot of doors for me during my senior year recruiting. Not only did I gained the technical skills a lot of recruiters were looking for, I also was able to make great connections through the program’a network.

I was able to learn the fundamentals of company valuation through the most industry wide recognized method, discounted cash flows. This program gave me the first in depth insight to equity options analysis and trading. Thanks to IvyLine, I was able to fully discover the path I wanted to follow in my career.

It was an honor to be a part of this journey with a great mentor and leader Isaac.

"To be honest, IvyLine Capital's Investment and Derivative Program was a complete game changer for me. I have been interested in both trading and investing for a while now but struggled to find someone who I could learn from and trust. This program not only helped me with that it taught me a lot more as well. Through connecting with other students and bouncing ideas off of them to reaching out to Isaac and Brandon for mentoring and help. This program also has guest speakers which to me was a great experience because you got to also hear other peoples experiences and learn from them as well. The video classes were also another big help for me because you have the ability to watch them over and over again till you can fully understand the content. Overall, I have had a great experience with this Program and I can't say enough about how helpful the team has been in assisting me."

The program delivers actionable knowledge on how real market practitioners can trade these products, challenging you to "learn by doing," both in the classes and through the frequent options trading competitions amongst program members. In addition to the content, the program gives you exclusive access to one of the most valuable networks of young finance professionals out there. Isaac, Keven, Brandon, and Ben and all others who run this program are incredibly passionate about helping you succeed, and it shows: this program was foundational to my educational success."

I have enjoyed the opportunity to be in a group of people that share a special interest in options trading. So far, I haven’t had the time to fully immerse myself in the course load because I have been mostly focusing on my summer internship. Nonetheless, I have learned more about options from the study sessions I have attended, the networking opportunities in the group and my participation in the recent challenge with Amir. Going forward, I think that it would be more beneficial for other students and I to have each others’ opinions on the direction of the markets. I think that it would be great if we added one more quick session each week where we go over terms and current market trends with Isaac. Additionally, we can have a slack group for current students where we can share ideas outside Isaac's sessions. This slack group would help us address the trading challenges better because we can ask other students their investment ideas and our trading questions.

The Investment and Derivatives Program is an awesome introduction to the roles of trader, analyst and portfolio manager. It starts off by teaching you how to build a portfolio and employ fundamental analysis to select your equities. The course also teaches the basics of technical analysis which can help you recognize opportunities and risks in the market. It finishes off by introducing options and dives deep into their usage to hedge risk and enhance portfolio returns. There is also a mentorship component where you can receive feedback and help. Lastly there are regular zoom conference lectures by guest speakers, along with competitions that can help put your advanced knowledge of option strategies to the test and potentially earn prize money. Overall, the program provides one with invaluable knowledge of derivatives and portfolio management as well as access to a community of other participants that is helpful for networking purposes.
