Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers & Acquisitions (Wiley Finance)
Been around here for a while but haven't made any posts yet; finally made the decision to reach out to the WSO community for some advice.
I am coming from a non-target school with a dual major in accounting and finance with a high GPA. I am looking to increase my understanding of Investment Banking to potentially increase my marketability for positions. I have chosen to purchase "Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers & Acquisitions (Wiley Finance)" the 2nd edition by Rosenbaum.
I would like to know if anyone has experience with this text and has any good tips to get the most out of studying this resource. I was also looking for some of the models or any advice on creating my own to work through it.
Thanks in advance for your support.
When I was a freshman with 0 finance experience I bought the first edition, read it cover to cover a few times, downloaded the models, built them out for a public company that just announced an acquisition, and checked to see if my valuation was close to the value of the acquisition (it was close enough).
I thought it was very helpful, but you need to actually do the valuation to get it. Just reading the book won't give you much practical info so download the models and build them a few times.
Then, when ready, build each of the models from scratch in excel.
Could you please share the templates with us. Thanks.
could you please share the templates?
Do you need the book to build the models out? ie. does it walk you through book examples? Or are they just general templates to use with any co?
I found the book very helpful once I already had a general understanding of accounting and how models worked. I don't think I would have found it that helpful if I had used the book with 0 knowledge of accounting principles.
Any ideas where to get the models without having to pay for them? Also, and good site with case studies in which these models could be applied?
what is the address of the group? Also, did you manage to create the templates?
Also interested
Mergers and Inquisitions has a whole series of modeling tutorials they send you for free. Not sure how helpful they are, I've only ever skimmed them myself.
Did anyone find a spot for these sample models? I've recently purchased the book as a refresher course and the model access code was not included.
Great book.
Great book. This is how I got started learning about investment banking, and this is what ultimately led to my offer.
It's OK, but I think overrated.
The Scoopbooks Practitioners Guide is far superior and much more readable.
I think Valuation by the folks at McKinsey is better. Much better at explains the why and how in regards to to value.
Great book. Josh Rosenbaum is the man.
Does anyone still have the templates?
Thanks for the suggestion!
Does anyone have access to the templates that they could share? please
Buy the book, templates come along with them. If you're worried about the price go find free templates online. The templates in this book are pretty good hence why they are not free. The things you will learn and, if leveraged properly, the job you get in banking will give you a return that far outweighs the cost of the book. Can't always expect freebies in life.
I bought the book, however, being the idiot that I am I did not buy the version that comes with the models. I Initially did not know that there was a version of the book without the models too. But thanks for the advice
I don't have the actual templates but i happen to have built the DCF & lbo model while reading the Rosenbaum using his instructions https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3ppnqp_1wPkOXBmdG9HOXQzeHM it's the first model i ever built so be careful !
thanks
Link doesn't work :(((
You can find all the models online. Google around for them.
Any links you can provide would be helpful.. thanks in advance
very interested topic. thanks for sharing it.

how is investment banking:valuation, leverage buyouts and mergers &acquisitions? (Originally Posted: 06/04/2013)
is it worth buying? Is it helpful if one wants to go into equity research?
The Rosenbaum and Pearl book? Great starting point. Get the fundamentals from that, then go to BIWS for the excel / more practical application.
