The Modelling Lab takes you through four core hedge fund models step by step inside the browser, on real company data. The three-statement model covers forecasting, linking, and circular references. The DCF lab walks through forecast period, terminal value, WACC build, and sensitivity tables. The comps lab covers peer selection, multiples, and clean-up adjustments. The equity pitch masterclass covers the hook, three thesis pillars, bear/base/bull valuation, and risks.

Yes. Every lab ships with a finished Excel file you can download and keep, so you have a working reference model alongside everything you build inside the browser.

The curriculum is written by professionals with direct hedge fund experience. It covers accounting fundamentals, valuation, modelling strategies, portfolio construction, risk management, sector deep-dives, and interview preparation. Every module is grounded in what is actually used on a buy-side desk, not in textbook abstractions.

We publish three categories of research. Equity reports cover single-name companies in depth, with thesis, supporting data, risk factors, and a clear conclusion. Macro reports cover rates, inflation, growth, and policy across the major economies. Sector reports cover competitive dynamics and unit economics across the industries that matter.

No. Reports are written by former hedge fund analysts and represent the views of their authors at the time of publication. They are intended for educational and informational purposes and should not be interpreted as personalised investment recommendations.

Every report is signed by a real author. Each author has a public Deltashark ID showing their bio, education, work history, and the rest of their published research. You can click through from any report to see the author profile.

No. Deltashark is an educational platform. We are not a broker, investment adviser, or financial institution, and we are not regulated by the FCA, the SEC, or any other financial regulatory body. We do not execute trades, manage client assets, or provide personalised investment advice.

Your Deltashark ID is a public profile at deltashark.io/p/yourname. It shows your bio, schools, target firms, work history, and every piece of equity research and financial model you have published. Add the link to your CV when applying to hedge funds, equity research, investment banking, or asset management roles. Hiring managers see exactly what you can do, not just what you studied.

Your Deltashark ID is private by default. You decide whether it is public, and you control what appears on it. You can switch visibility on or off at any time from your account settings.

A members-only feed for the people working to break into the buy-side. Post questions, share wins and interview experiences, talk through internships and career paths, and learn from peers on the same route. Threaded replies, likes, and subtopics for Career, Wins, Networking, Academics, Markets & News, and the major industries (Hedge Funds, Quantitative Finance, Private Equity).

Bi-weekly one-hour video calls hosted by founder Burak M. Gunduz, included with every Deltashark Membership. Bring questions or just listen in. Cover applications, interview prep, CV reviews, networking, and everything else that comes with working to break into the industry. Submit questions ahead of time so they get answered live, or ask during open Q&A at the end of each call.

Deltashark is a financial education and research platform. We pair a structured curriculum with original research written by former hedge fund analysts. The platform is built for people who want to think and operate the way professional investors do, whether they are trying to break into the industry or simply manage their own capital with the same information professionals use.

Two groups. First, anyone trying to break into the buy-side: students, career changers, and early-career analysts who want the skills, models, and credibility hiring managers actually look for. Second, individual investors who want hedge-fund-quality research and structured learning without the institutional price tag.

Deltashark is based in London, United Kingdom. The platform is available globally.
