Built on Research, Driven by Curiosity

We started ecralovion because financial research felt disconnected from the people who actually needed it most.

Back in 2018, a group of us were working across different corners of the finance world. Investment analysis, risk management, academic research. What we kept noticing was the same problem showing up everywhere—people had access to data but lacked the frameworks to interpret it properly. So we decided to do something different.

How We Got Here

2018 - The Beginning

Three researchers met at a financial literacy conference in Sydney. We realized our approaches overlapped more than we thought. Within months, we'd started running workshops out of a co-working space.

2020 - Expanding the Framework

What started as weekend sessions grew into structured programs. We brought in practitioners from banking, compliance, and investment strategy. People wanted methodology, not just theory.

2023 - Moving to Castle Hill

We opened our first permanent training facility. By this point, we'd worked with over 400 professionals across Australia, refining our curriculum based on real feedback and evolving industry needs.

2026 - Today

We're focused on developing practical research skills that actually transfer to workplace scenarios. Our programs run throughout the year, with the next cohort starting in July 2026.

Our Approach to Financial Research

We don't teach shortcuts or formulas. We focus on building the thinking patterns that help you analyze financial information independently.

Data Interpretation

Learning to read financial statements is one thing. Understanding what the numbers actually mean in context—that's different. We spend time on pattern recognition and comparative analysis.

Risk Assessment

Every financial decision involves trade-offs. We work through scenario planning and probability thinking so you can evaluate options more systematically.

Research Design

Whether you're building investment models or analyzing market trends, the quality of your questions matters. We focus on structuring inquiries that lead to actionable insights.

Regulatory Context

Financial research doesn't happen in a vacuum. Understanding compliance requirements and reporting standards is part of producing work that's both accurate and usable.

Communication Skills

You can do brilliant analysis, but if you can't explain it clearly, it won't have impact. We practice translating complex findings into formats that stakeholders can actually use.

Ethical Frameworks

Research methodology includes responsibility. We discuss conflicts of interest, data integrity, and the importance of maintaining professional standards even under pressure.

Who's Teaching

Our instructors come from different backgrounds—banking, auditing, portfolio management, academic research. What they have in common is hands-on experience and a genuine interest in helping others develop their skills.

Henrik Solberg

Lead Research Instructor

Spent twelve years in equity research before moving into education. Henrik focuses on quantitative methods and financial modeling techniques.

Callum Driscoll

Risk Analysis Specialist

Background in credit risk and regulatory compliance. Callum teaches frameworks for evaluating financial exposure and building risk mitigation strategies.

What Guides Our Work

Practical Over Theoretical

We prioritize methods that translate directly to workplace applications. Theory matters, but only when it connects to real scenarios.

Honest About Complexity

Financial research isn't simple, and we don't pretend it is. We break down difficult concepts without oversimplifying them.

Continuous Improvement

Markets change, regulations evolve, and methods get refined. We update our curriculum regularly based on industry developments and participant feedback.

Accessible Learning

You don't need an economics degree to understand financial research. We design our programs for people at different experience levels.
