About this course

Stock Market and Investment Analysis with Ucanly, Level 1 Beginner, takes you from zero to your first analysed portfolio. This is an educational program in financial analysis and literacy. Ucanly and its mentors are not registered investment advisors, this course is not investment advice, and nothing in it is a recommendation to buy or sell any security. All markets carry genuine risk of loss. Every project in this level uses paper trading and historical data only, and you should make real financial decisions based on your own judgement and, where needed, a SEBI registered advisor. You will learn how exchanges, brokers, and markets genuinely work, how to read the three core financial statements, and fundamental analysis including key ratios, valuation basics, and red flags. In your minor project in week five, you will complete a full fundamental analysis of a real listed company, with business understanding, financial statement review, key ratios, valuation basics, and a clear invest or avoid verdict backed by evidence. You will then learn technical analysis fundamentals, risk management, diversification, and investing psychology, before your major project in week eight: a full simulated portfolio built and managed on paper across Indian and global stocks, with a written investment thesis for each holding, diversification and risk logic, tracked performance, and a live review defended to Ucanly mentors. All practical work is done through paper trading and historical data so no student ever risks real money in this level.
