City Investment Training Omdömen 

Sameer explained everything very well, and I really enjoyed hearing from his guest speakers on the Hedge Fund Masterclass.

I attended the Hedge Funds webinar delivered by Sameer Merchant. This was my second time attending such an excellent webinar. It was extremely insightful as he gave tips on how to crack into IB, asset management, or hedge funds as a career, and we heard from alumni and professionals on their journeys breaking into the industry — the real-world perspectives were particularly valuable.

The session covered key concepts in hedge fund strategies, portfolio construction, and the skills interviewers actually look for, all delivered in a clear and engaging way. Sameer has a real talent for making complex topics accessible without oversimplifying them.

I’d absolutely recommend this webinar or the 8-week courses hosted by City Investment Training for those interested in honing their technical skills in finance and building a genuine edge in a competitive recruitment process.

insightful information regarding the hedge fund simulation was interested in especially meeting the panel and exploration of stock portfolios.

Very insightful and interactive. Would recommend to anyone looking to get into finance.

With the little technical knowledge the session was very insightful and helpful filling in some gaps in my knowledge.

Very well structured Simulation day, with guests from the market, explaining their story from scratch giving a detailed view of this world. Sameer was extremely helpful explaining the concept of analysing and building an income statement amongst other topics on the agenda. Highly recommend it

I had the pleasure and privilege of participating in this exceptional training course. Gaining insight into how high finance operates was truly inspiring and ignited my passion for the industry. Sameer provided invaluable guidance, demonstrating the critical importance of financial modelling and valuation in the world of high finance.

Very innovative to differentiate among other candidates

With very little investment banking experience, I was nervous about my prospects of breaking into such a competitive industry.

I completed the 8-week City Investment Training programme in Summer 2025, and it completely changed that.

I built full financial models, worked on DCF, M&A and LBO analysis, and created investment decks I could confidently walk through in interviews.

The interview preparation was a game changer - the mock interviews and case study practice gave me the confidence to perform under pressure.

Sameer also has a great way of breaking down complex technical concepts into simple steps, making even difficult valuation techniques easy to understand and explain.

I’m now very excited to have secured a role at a boutique investment bank.

i took part in the city investment training webinar which was very informative as it walked us through crafting an LBO model as well as allowing us to talk to alumni. i recommend

I have attended multiple workshops of City Investment Training. I attended their Financial Modelling workshop where we forecasted financial statements.
In their Hedge Fund training program we built a portfolio based on certain criteria on Koyfin. In their most recent Private Equity Workhsop we built an LBO model from scratch, gained insights on how to break into private equity and investment banking overall. Their workshops are really heelpful and give a realistic picture of the IB world.
I recommend everyone to take their 8 week course for those who want to kisckstart a career in investment banking.

I attended the Private Equity LBO Modelling session held by Sameer Merchant from City Investment Training. As someone with limited experience, I found the session very useful. It allowed me to gain the technical knowledge required to understand leveraged buyouts and a good overview of how Private Equity firms operate.

I had a great experience attending the master class from City Investment Training.

I attended the Private Equity LBO Modelling session held by City Investment Training. As somone who has very little experience, I found the session very useful. It equipped me with the technical knolwedge required to understand leveraged buyouts and a good overview of how Private Equity operates.

Great free course for anyone interested in private equity. It covers everything from career paths and interview prep to actually building an LBO model, which makes it very practical. The demo of mock interview with Sameer was especially useful for understanding real expectations.

Overall, high-quality content with real value—definitely worth it.

I recently attended the Private Equity Masterclass by City Investment Training, and it was a genuinely valuable experience.

What stood out to me most was the focus on understanding the why behind each step, rather than just following a model mechanically. The LBO walkthrough was particularly insightful. I was able to build and fully understand a model from scratch, including how EBITDA growth, deleveraging, and multiple expansion drive returns.

The session also went beyond technicals, covering private equity career paths, interview strategies, and how to approach pitching deals, which made it very well-rounded. Hearing practical insights from professionals added even more depth.

Overall, a highly engaging and structured session that strengthened both my technical understanding and perspective on private equity.

Sameer was being very clear and the 1 hour CV session was very helpful! Thank you

It was a great experience, learning different aspects of financial modelling and job related process.

I’m an international student, and breaking into investment banking in the UK felt like a steep uphill battle.

The 8 week program in the summer of 2025 gave me a structured plan and hands-on coaching from senior bankers (people who actually know what top firms screen for). The technical training was strong, but what really accelerated my progress was learning how to use AI tools properly to move faster: researching firms, generating outreach angles, improving networking messages, and producing M&A / equity research style material quickly without sacrificing quality.

On top of that, the mock interviews were intense and realistic, and they helped me sharpen my “walk me through your CV”, and my deal/markets answers so they sounded natural rather than memorised.

I recently secured an investment banking role at Lincoln International. If you’re an international student and you want a real roadmap plus high standards, I’d recommend City Investment Training.
