Profitshastra's teaching goal is to help our students pass the CFA exam by improving their understanding of Finance & Investment. Employing easy-to-understand examples of real world situations, our classes are designed to deepen our students’ knowledge and understanding of Finance & Investment leading to a higher level of confidence as students pursue and grow their career goals.

The emphasis is on reducing reliance on brute memorization by teaching the concepts that can improve efficiency. The course also explores ways that Financial professionals, employed across the Finance & Investment spectrum, make use of different CFA topics to help them succeed in day-to-day and in unprecedented situations. Students gain practical insight into the sell-side (sales & trading) and buy-side (research & portfolio management) of investment banking, helping them make more-informed career choices. Additionally, we also want our students to make practical use of the CFA education to build and grow their own investment portfolio and follow capital markets with solid knowledge and confidence.

Ultimately, profiting from our unique combination of academic training and financial industry career success, we help our students rise and shine in the world of Finance & Investment.
