The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Develop an asset allocation strategy for a sustainable fashion brand's cash reserves that meets return targets, liquidity needs, and ESG criteria.
This is not a case study exercise. It is the work a consultant does when a client needs a recommendation backed by evidence. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates recite Porter's Five Forces and none who have built a recommendation a client would actually pay for.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."

- Apply CAPM to estimate expected returns for different asset classes.
- Integrate ESG criteria into portfolio construction and asset selection.
- Design an asset allocation that balances risk, return, and liquidity constraints.
- Create a professional Investment Policy Statement.
