Built by Analysts, For Analysts
We started wise-logicdrift because we kept seeing the same problem. Investment professionals had access to mountains of data but lacked the structured frameworks to make sense of it all. Three former equity researchers decided to do something about that in early 2023.
Why We Actually Started This
After spending years in sell-side research, we noticed something frustrating. Junior analysts would join our teams with degrees and certifications, but they'd still struggle with the practical work. Building models, yes. But also knowing which metrics actually mattered for different sectors.
The Philippine market has its own quirks too. Family-owned conglomerates, property development cycles that don't match textbook patterns, and regulatory environments that shift faster than most training materials can keep up with.
So we built something different. Not another certification program, but a resource hub focused on real-world application. The kind of training we wish we'd had when we were starting out.
What Drives Our Work
These aren't mission statement buzzwords. They're the principles we actually use when deciding what content to create and how to present it.
Market Context Matters
Generic financial theory only gets you so far. We focus on how concepts apply specifically within Philippine market conditions and regulatory frameworks.
Practical Over Perfect
You don't need to build the most elegant model. You need one that gives you reliable answers by Tuesday morning. We teach the practical approach first.
Industry Perspective
Different sectors need different analytical approaches. Real estate, banking, consumer goods – each has its own key drivers and red flags to watch for.
Who Actually Runs This
Two people handle most of the content creation and program development. We bring in sector specialists when we're covering industries outside our direct experience, but these are the folks you'll interact with most.
Renato Villarin
Spent eleven years covering financials and property sectors at a local brokerage house. Got tired of watching new hires struggle with the same gaps in practical knowledge. Now builds training modules that focus on the stuff you actually need to know on day one.
Socorro Benigno
Background in consumer and industrial research. Handles most of the case study development and makes sure our content reflects current market conditions rather than outdated examples from 2019.
How We Actually Approach Training
Every module uses actual company examples from the Philippine market. You'll work with real financial statements and actual sector dynamics, not sanitized textbook scenarios.
We focus on teaching analytical frameworks you can apply across different situations. Once you understand the underlying logic, you can adapt to new sectors and market conditions.
Markets change. Regulations shift. We update our training materials quarterly to reflect current conditions. The case studies you work with won't be five years out of date.
