@Andrew Fields GP
Big ups to everyone working effortlessly trying to earn a living while building wealth. My wife and I we are both retired with over $2 million in net worth and all paid off debts. living smart and frugal with our money, made it possible for us this early, even till now we earn passively with our asset coach.
Adapt to a lifestyle, be thrifty, set a budget, save money and build more streams.
Excellent choices having a great savings and more streams to earn makes life goal’s easier but our way of life needs better alternative,at the same time, people also need to be more responsible. I know for a fact that there's a lot of people that simply don't make enough, I make roughly hundred plus a year and in California, rent inflation alone eat up almost all of what I make, with dependents and other obligations included, it's easy to end up with zero. however it’s a good time to add to existing asset holdings as follow -on opportunities
I resonate with what you said ma’am, you could also take advantage of some growth stocks at the moment, every pro is currently bagging on some digital surge. For me, my coach Margaret ann myatt the intelligent advisor has been using every opportunity to ensure I benefit, well positioned as I’m also privy to improve. It completely changed the approach for me, feel free to write direct to help construct your approach as well.
I have got myatt résumé, also part of an audience with Margaret options, a huge economical nerd, these well anticipated results has impacted a lot of exposure for me.
I bet you got yourself some solid portfolio.
As a financial services recruiter, this is a perfect video for someone who works in talent to have a good foundation of these concepts when speaking with candidates
Thanks Ben! The PE course is a perfect fit for my further career steps. I would therefore like to be prepared as well as possible to get started in order to avoid unnecessary mistakes.
I'm currently switched from PE to VC, and totally happy with it. More money, more interesting projects, challenging tasks and younger colleagues. It's a perfect match for an ambitious man under 30
Hey Maah, would you please mentor me ?
Interesting, I would assume a role in PE usually gets a higher pay relative to VC, could you share what's your role resulting a higher pay in VC?
Do u need a tech background to break into vc?
@@georgephilip1966 It would be better to have some, but it's not the requirement.
@@alexsze9136 I'm an investment associate both in VC now and PE earlier. It depends on fund/holding, it's size and count of investments yearly. It's much harder to find great VC fund job than PE.
Hi Ben! Thank you so much for this video, currently in a masters program and this made it incredibly easy to understand the differences on the buy side.
the speed with which i subscribed to this channel is crazy
Hey ben, Im currently a freshman in college studying finance. I love your videos and have been watching since almost the start of this channel. You are one of the main reasons I want to go into Investment Banking and the finance sector in general. This course would give me a major head start and help me gain the skills I need not only to excel in any future internships, but also place me a step ahead in my career as a whole!
This is really helpful. I could resonate to what you said about being on the buyside. Pretty intense but comes with rewards as well.
One of your best videos yet! This was super informative.
Thanks Ben! These types of videos are extremely useful, as I’m now a freshman in college studying quantitative finance i really want to figure out at least what captures my interest and what doesn’t, and these do just that! A free course would be awesome for me because i can explore something that may become my future job and give incredible insight, and its free too!
great overview of these industries, you saved me a couple hours of research. Appreciate it! :)
Really useful content!! Complete overview with clear explanations of the key points of the industry
Thank you for acknowledging us, this is helpful!
Thank you for this video, and about FE. Excellent!
Hi Ben, I'm currently working at a bank and will be moving to the Financial Sponsors Group coverage sector in September. This is my first move towards the buy side and having a course like financial edge under my belt I'm sure will pay dividends as I advance towards my end goal in private equity. Love the videos, keep them coming!
Not all income investments are created
equally. I've allocated my capital in a safe and sustainable way but still leave room for excitement for individual stocks, cryptos and new exciting opportunities!
I'm working towards an early retirement, it's
possible but tough, it definitely requires discipline and big sacrifices. Putting in the work in boosting my earning capacity. I'm glad I got into stocks and recently joined the NFT train.
@@rahultoggi4672 I still prefer real estate over
stocks or crypto, Nfts. Perhaps it's because I had
a front row seat watching so much carnage
during the 2000 dotcom bubble and the
2008-2009 financial crisis that has me jaded.
@Joe Robert. I firmly believe everyone striving for financial independence should own both stocks and real estate. The percentage weighting of each asset class as part of your portfolio will then be up to you to decide. At least with stocks, when the market is plunging, you can sell, albeit at a loss. Lots of people couldn't sell their real estate, couldn't afford to sell in 2007-2011.
@@noelstout3056 Absolutely, i made my first 6 figure at a go during a crash. I retired with a 7 figure portfolio and I'm currently receiving about $500k annual
earnings. I didn't achieve that by playing safe. My earnings comes from stocks and profits from the crypto market as well. All this were possible with the guidance of my personal trading broker Frost Hilda, who helped build a portfolio that's has helped cleared my debt. Retirement came early with no regrets.
@@seanroger6954 this is remarkable, I need more info on Frost Hilda's services, you got any possible means of getting through to him?
Hey Ben,
Super helpful and appreciate all the great videos you put out, please keep it up! Would be interested in a video regarding the exit opps in Corp Dev/Strat. Cheers
Hey Ben, really enjoyed the video, it was really cool learning some new things about the buy side I hadn't known before! Currently I'm a Finance student from Sydney hoping to pursue a career in IB and have found all your videos super helpful. Having a chance to skim through FE's free courses, I've found that they are super interesting and I've learnt so much already. An opportunity to try out FE's flagship courses would be amazing and will definitely serve as a strong inspiration and guide for me throughout uni! Hope all is well and look forward to you next video (:
This was very helpful and neatly organized, great job
Investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity. And not just any investment but an investment with guaranteed returns. Also do proper research and invest with the right approach. Stocks, real estate, Hedge funds and ETFs are good investments as well. 🙂
I just started my investment journey. I wish to have about 10 streams of income before I'm 30. I'm currently 26.
@@tinamanuel2305 Great plan 👍. Started investing at 37. Sometimes I wish I started earlier. it might seem like you are wasting your time now but you're making huge changes and progress. Watch out in nearest future your friends will regret why they didn't take this bold step. Keep it up.
@@philchege7155 I have a full time job. I'm just looking for investment that won't require my time that's very profitable as well. i don't have much to do real estate.
@@marissamatty2703 You have to start small to grow big. I started from financial market. Didn't have any clue about trading or investment but I'm glad I came across a regulated broker who is my investment advisor and trader. He handles all my trading activities and investment. One thing as a beginner is to have professional guidance at your end. You mustn't invest your time to make profit. Your broker will handle all that.
@@philchege7155 That's great. Really interested. Please can I get more info on this broker services and how to connect with him.
Hey Ben! Thanks for your effort in putting out all these educational videos out there. I am currently in the auditing and would like to change my career path towards M&A/IB. I believe this course will help me greatly in it.
Brilliant video and answered several questions I’ve had for a number of years whilst watching and researching the Buy Side area. Keep it up!
Feedback appreciated.👆

Hi Ben. Thanks for the insights. As of now, I am struggling to learn about how to do modelling because I study accountancy and would like to try to breakthrough into the finance sector. The prize would definitely be an encouragement for me to not give up on my dreams despite the buy side being such a tough industry to be in.
Hi Ben,
I am not from commerce background and interested to learn about invesy banking and want to make career in it. I believe this course will help me a lot and guide me for my career path.
Thanks for making this videos I'm learning so much from it. Appreciate your efforts.
As a new learner to financial space this was a good video breakdown
Great video, as always. I'm transitioning from science to investment banking, so that investment banking course would help a lot. Thanks for the give away opportunity.
nice video, thanks for sharing. keep doing this type of videos brother.

Thank you ben for great information
thanks a lot. always learning from u.
Amazing video, even better then the others I've seen before from you. Cheers
Great video. I learned a lot. You have earned a new subscriber in me. Thank you.
Hey Ben! Thanks a lot for all the videos, they really allowed me to discover my passion for the financial world and every job related to it. I am currently a 2nd year student at college and I have already been selected to an internship in the finance related industry. Thus, I certainly think that the FE Investment Banker course would allow me to enter the internship with full capability of being successful :)
What a video, appreciated sir!
Hi Ben! Thank you for your informative videos and these cooperations!
I am currently a final year student and went through two small IB internships. After my graduation I want to apply for full-time positions. Due to my non-target university degree the course would have great benefits for my preparation for the upcoming interviews!
Great explanation. It would be perfect to complete it with a simple case with numbers for each case. Maybe deserves a second part of this video? Thanks!!😁
You’re good…thank you so much for your videos
Great beginners guide video! Thx
Your Chanel is so helpful
I’m looking to recruit for IB so the IB course offered by Financial Edge would be amazing! Thanks Ben!
Great video, Ben! Hoping to win one of these courses (specially the PE one) given that it is where I would love to work in the future!
AMAZING video and content on this channel in general! Thank you so much!
It’s noticeable that you put in a lot of work into your videos and it’s well worth it.
things I really enjoy about your videos (please keep doing them haha):
- outline in the beginning
- clear structure
- points you cover
- giving examples
- sharing your personal experience
keep doing your thing. love it!
thank you so much for the positive feedback!
I would love to have the investment banking course on financial edge as it will wave a path for me into the finance sector as I belong to the engineering sector. I am very much passionate about finance and financial modelling. I always love your videos rareliquid. Keep up the good work!
These videos are a MASSIVE help to gain a better insight of the different segments of the financial industry. Really do appreciate the content. 👍
In terms of which buy side field you should go deeper into first, Hedge Fund sounds the most interesting. Would also not mind Private Equity either since I have an upcoming interview with one of the firms haha!
Hey Ben. I'm a sophomore in college and I'm interested in exploring the financial field to see if it's a career path I want to pursue. Getting that course would allow me to try it out and learn at no cost, which would be extremely beneficial!
Loved the video
Bro, this is incredible! The level of detail is stellar, great information man; keep up the good work. New Sub!
Thanks for the sub!
I am always learning more about finance, so I would love to win the courses!
Ben I've been following your channel for a long time and I want to thank you because your videos have helped me a lot to decide what to study at a time when I was lost about my future. I would like the Private Equity Associate program since I am currently a final semester student and I would like to obtain resources to get a job in private equity / investment banking, things that my school does not teach and that due to my economic situation I cannot pay those kinds of programs. I would be very grateful to you since it is my dream to work in some important financial institution in the future.
Excellent Explanation.
Very very informative.
Thank You so much.
Glad it was helpful!
awesome video, concise for the amount of information shared
bro, thank u for making this video
i’d love a vid that takes a deep dive on hedge funds
In Korea, Buy side refers to those asset owners like pension plan, SWF, insurance companies etc. Those HF, VC, PEF are asset managers and place between buy side and sell side. They should offer to asset owners to buy their imvestment idea so in that context, they are sell side
I would really like to enroll in the Private Equity Associate course. Trying to break into the industry as a graduate and I am sure this will help me out!
Hey Ben! Congrets for this amazing video!
Can I work in these areas with a degree in CS?
Well put together.... Thank you
Venture capital is deffinetely the coolest
great content!!!
Love the video! Do you have some indication for content about helping companies to target the right institutions/funds to invest on them?
It’s a video even a 5yr old will understand. Great work.!!!
GR8 video brother!
Youve gotta talk about those other hedge funds, like which is most prevalent and who some of the large players are that use certain strats, like do large financial institutions such as JPM, UBS, GS tend to stick to specific things or are they so large they cover most strategies.
Hi Ben! I really appreciate the informative video and it’s allowed me to grasp a better understanding of what field I want to go into. I just graduated from university last month and am looking for finance jobs and think the Investment Banking course would be a fantastic way for me to learn more about what it takes to be in the field and what I should know beforehand. Hope all is well and I’m looking forward to future videos!!!
Hi Ben, I am a junior financial analyst in a hedge fund in Hong Kong, thanks for creating these videos and this platform. I learned many different perspectives about the business world from you. I just want to try my luck on this giveaway and would definitely finish the courses if I get a chance to obtain it lol. Keep up the hard work!
Awesome information!
Hey Ben,
first of all... thank you for your great content. Because of your videso i really do understand the whole field of IB, PE & Co a lot better.
I am currently in my last semster of my Bachelors in Economics over here in Germany. After that i am gonna add a finance master on top.
It would be an amazing opportunity to win FE's online course because than i would be able to connect all the theory from university with the practical skills from people out of the industry. I think it would give me great headstart for my next internships.
Keep up the great work and stay safe! :)
Hey Ben! Thanks for all of the informative videos you've provided us, especially the modeling livestreams. I'm interested in the FE courses because I'd like to further build my understanding in what is needed in IB and PE. I'm currently a senior in finance and will be going into IB this summer. Thanks for all you do!
thank you! i'm always confused about what all these companies are doing. I used to google everytime when I forget but I never fully understand. Now i'm very clear!
how about asset management?
Your hardwork is really reflected in the video/...thanks alot

Hello, my name is Julius, i‘m 15 years old, still going to school and very interested in Private Equity. As i‘m searching for things about this topic, this program seems greate!
Julius
You know, most of the IB/career stuff goes over my head because it's not really my forte (not that I'd call stocks/crypto my forte either hahaha), and I usually just try to lend support through a comment and a like even if I don't know what's going on (lol), but this was really entertaining and informative because it comes up a lot on CZcams/Reddit, etc. The 3 often get thrown around in online discourse, so it's cool to be able to distinguish between both! Really cool, and I appreciate the effort you put into this. I hope the people that need it most get to watch it.
And hey, maybe while all your friends are in banking, you'll be relaxing on a beach in Tahiti with a successful company and a reduced schedule. I'll take being a weird CZcams guy over the other scenario 😅
And totally irrelevant, but I liked the morning lighting!
Thanks for demystifying these careers.
no problem!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity Ben! I recently accepted an offer as an IB Risk management analyst for this summer at J.P Morgan and I really want to be prepared for this internship. Im excited to learn the details of IB. This would help me get a head start and prepare me for this internship, I appreciate this opportunity, thanks!
I have a friend that works for a company owned or heavily invested by Apollo in telecom, it’s a new company , the company I work for was bought by a European private equity firm that buys companies or leverages high percentances of stakes
Might be good having a broader overview of asset management and S&T as well
Hello, firstly thank you for always giving back in one way or another. I would like to be placed in the Private Equity Associate program as it will be encouraging to learn more about the field. In Africa we do not have a big Private Equity network, the highest education degree in business is Bcom Accounting Science I( have completed) which leads to being a CPA equivalent. This micro degree will really help me branch out to being unique. I would have paid for it if I could afford it.
Super video !
Nice Video Ben
Hey! I only recently started watching your videos as I have always been keen on consulting but I never knew Investment Banking entailed so much finance. I am a second year bachelor and will do an internship in consulting this summer, but as I have a keen passion for finance, I want to explore my interest in IB further. For that reason, the courses of FE would be the perfect start! If you don't mind you'll also see me popping up on your linkedin :)
I liked the comment about light change and working hard
Hey Ben, I work with Barclays as a quant analyst and want to get into buy-side, especially PE as orthodox small businesses attract me as a business ecosystem and PE provides the front row seat to that. Being in India, it is tough to keep in touch with the street and I would make the most use of the PE course should I win. You are creating lovely content! Kudos!
HI! I'm currently a banker and looking into roles on the buyside - a course like FE would be an amazing jumping off point and resource to hone in on modeling skills and interview prep. I worked with them during my IB training and learned a TON! I would appreciate the opportunity. Thank you :)
Hey dear, your videos really helpful and you are doing a great job. Can you please make a video on how to join investment bank without a finance degree
Hey Ben, can you do a video on building a resume as a fresh graduate student and how you landed the job.
Love that you made comparison to investment banking! As a finance student this was extremely helpful
Awesome!!!
Good stuff!
Great video. I have realised that I learn more from watching videos than reading theory online. Yesterday I had an interview with BNY mellon and it did not go as planned. I do not want to give up and I believe that considering how young I am, I can reach pretty ahead if I commit further using the right tools, in this case the course from Financial edge. I do not have previous financial experience but I will do everything it takes to commit more and more into this sector. I would highly value the investment banker course and I believe that it would definitely come to great use for my next interview. Cheers and thank you for making these videos. We really appreciate your work.
Hi Ben,
I am a software Engineer but wanting to shift my career into finance field as investment banker and i already been spending a ton of money for the courses to make this huge career shift possible and i would be really glad if i would get opted for these courses so that it would be really helpful for me to make it possible. Anyways always love your content as it adds lot of value to people like me❤️
Very insightful video as always Ben!
I would also like to participate in the FE giveaway, because I am undergraduate student looking to move abroad and break into Investment Banking. So, the course from FE would go a long way towards realizing that goal.
Thank you very much for your video sharing. I would like to venture to ask if I can transfer your video to Chinese websites so that more people can benefit from it.
Hi Ben My name is Afsa I suddenly got you when I want to learn new thing that's a great incidence
I love your work and also I'm your new subscriber ........... once again Hello
Hi Ben ! I rarely comment on CZcams, but I wanted to congratulate you for the good videos and community you have created. I am currently a freshman at ESADE (Spain) and I really appreciate the insights you give about IB. If I get the opportunity to win a course from FE, I would give it to my younger brother who is in his senior year of high school and will probably come to study at ESADE. This last year he has been reading about finance and have managed my crypto portfolio, I feel moved to see him with a goal towards which to work and study and, without doubt, FE courses would mean a giant step in his knowledge and future devolopment.
Greetings from Spain🙌
I went to one of the best business schools, and I was not clear on this. Great video, thank you
