Step 1: Quiz and University Transcript
Each applicant receives a set of questions surrounding finance and valuation topics. The difficulty varies from intermediate to advanced knowledge. The minimum passing score depends on the overall level of the applicants' pool. Those who achieve a passing score are required to submit their university transcripts. We will only consider applicants who are in the top 10% of their respective classes.

Shortlisted candidates are required to complete a written assessment as part of the internship process. The assignment includes a short essay on a given topic and an assessment/report on a specified company. Submissions should demonstrate clear structure, strong grammar, well-developed arguments, and meaningful conclusions. The assignment must be completed and submitted within 48 hours of receipt.
Step 3: Online Interview
The final step is to appear for a short online video interview and talk about their motivation and why they think they should be part of the internship program.
Top 5 things previous interns experienced in the program
#1 Gained practical experience in company valuation
Company valuation is not easy, but in this program, Dr. Stotz and his team will lead you through valuable lessons that will save you a huge amount of time.
Valuation Master Class Boot Camp is just the starting point for learning how to make reports and basic finance, while Valuation Master Class Professional offers the practice needed to perform valuations. Both are essential for gaining the full equity researcher experience.
Valuation Master Class Professional is a game changer. Here, you value nine companies, use A. Stotz Investment’s institutional tools like World Class Benchmarking as well as Porter's Five Forces frameworks, draft equity research reports, and present CFA-standard analyses. Plus, networking opportunities abound.
#2 Learned real-world finance skills step-by-step
The Valuation Master Class has equipped me with solid presentation skills and critical analysis that I can now offer to my future employer.
Through the Valuation Master Class Professional, I gained a profound understanding of different markets, learned to justify my assumptions using professional terminology, and developed the ability to objectively analyze market trends and a company’s vision.
After completing the Valuation Master Class Professional, I can conduct better research and valuation of companies and industries, with an emphasis on presenting my analysis efficiently.
#3 Absorbed a lifetime of knowledge from a #1 voted analyst
The most valuable insight I learned in the Valuation Master Class was how to find data and make intelligent conclusions efficiently.
In the Valuation Master Class, I learned that forecasting involves combining a vision of the company's future with historical trends to make reasonable assumptions.
I learned through the Valuation Master Class that going against the crowd can sometimes be better than following market noise, especially when backed by solid reasoning.
#4 Made lifelong connections and got access to finance jobs
I transformed through the Valuation Master Class from merely understanding numbers to confidently analyzing and presenting detailed valuations.
Through the Valuation Master Class, I got exactly what I was looking for— having almost no finance knowledge to understanding the entire company valuation process.
In 12-weeks, you will gain knowledge and a transformation that would take you years to acquire anywhere else!
#5 Began to transform to become a world-class financial analyst
Before joining the A. Stotz Investment Research Internship, I had almost no finance knowledge. The internship taught me how to research companies, analyze financial statements, forecast, use different valuation methods, and present my work confidently. My time management and organization skills also improved significantly.
During my internship at A. Stotz Investment Research I learned to manage my time efficiently with many tasks to complete in a limited period.
