A student-led corporate finance organization at Knox Grammar School, focused on valuation, judgment, and defensible reasoning.
Capital Finance Club is a formally registered co-curricular organization at Knox Grammar School focused on teaching students how to think clearly about corporate finance decisions. We emphasize structured reasoning, explicit assumptions, and professional standards over rote memorization.
Our curriculum is adapted from Professor Aswath Damodaran's NYU Stern MBA Corporate Finance course (Spring 2025), providing a rigorous academic foundation reframed for secondary students with no prior exposure to finance. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding over technical mechanics.
Concept sessions on valuation, risk, and capital structure. Case walkthroughs covering M&A deals and restructuring. Guest speakers from institutions like PIMCO.
Our flagship applied competition where students analyze real ASX-listed companies and produce investment recommendations. Judged on reasoning quality, not predetermined outcomes.
The club's flagship publication featuring student research, analysis, and commentary—bridging finance theory and real-world practice.
We operate with a "standards-first" philosophy. This isn't tutoring, exam prep, or stock-picking discussion. We treat students as analysts and thinkers, not content consumers.
