Student-managed investment funds
Run a real earnings process for every holding: a thesis before the print, a readout after it, and a monitor that flags anything that changes the call.
- Holdings reviews
- Investment committee memos
- Risk flags
Earnings season is the best classroom in finance.
Give students a professional pre- and post-earnings research workflow: beat probabilities, filing and call readouts, cited evidence, and live monitors. Every call explains what would change it, so students learn how to reason about a company, not just what to conclude.
- Pre + post-earnings reports
- Every claim cited
- Forecasts graded out-of-sample

01 · Who it's for
Built for the people learning to read a print.
Every quarter, thousands of companies publish a live case study. Akem Earnings turns that calendar into coursework your students can actually keep up with.
Finance & accounting courses
Turn this week's reporting calendar into case material. Students test what management said against the filing and the call transcript.
- Live case studies
- Filing analysis
- Forecasting
Investment clubs & stock-pitch competitions
Stress-test pitches before the judges do: what's priced in, what can move the stock, and what would break the thesis.
- Pitch prep
- Bear cases
Career centers & recruiting prep
Send students into markets interviews having followed a real earnings season, with a view on names they've tracked from preview to readout.
- Markets interviews
- Stock-pitch prompts
- Superdays

01 · Before the print
A thesis with a probability and a hurdle.
The pre-earnings report opens with a clear call, then explains it: what the market has priced in, what can move the stock, and exactly what would change the view.
- Beat probability from a model graded on real outcomes
- Implied move and consensus context
- “What changes the call” is written down in advance
02 · On the call
Claims tested against the evidence.
Once the numbers land, the readout covers the release, the filing and the call transcript. It checks what management said against what the documents show and cites every point.
- Actuals vs. expectations, including guidance
- Management claims checked against the filing
- Transcript pressure points with timestamps
03 · After the move
A monitor that knows why a headline matters.
Agentic monitors watch each name all season. An alert only fires when news connects to the thesis, and it says what would confirm or invalidate it. The Deep Cuts daily edition maps read-throughs across companies.
- Live watchtowers for every tracked name
- Alerts tied to the thesis, not to noise
- Cross-company read-throughs in Deep Cuts
03 · Ask the report
Office hours for every report.
Students can question any report in plain English. Report chat is limited to that one report's sources, so every answer comes back grounded and cited. It's a good way to practise asking sharper questions.
Scoped to: NWND · Q3 readout · illustrative
Why did the stock fall if they beat on revenue?
Because the beat was expected and the guidance wasn't. Revenue beat consensus by 3.5%, but Q4 guidance came in 2.5% below the Street [1]. On the call, the CFO pointed to "digestion" at large accounts [2], and two customers drove 61% of this year's growth [3].

04 · Shows its work
Research you can grade.
An AI tool in the classroom should model good research habits, not replace them. Akem is designed so students can see how every call was reached.
Every call names its hurdle
A WAIT comes with the specific catalyst or threshold that would change it. “No edge” is never a complete answer.
Evidence shows its weight and its date
Each finding shows why it matters, what would weaken it, and when its evidence was last observed.
Forecasts are graded
A new beat model is promoted only if it improves on the current one out-of-sample, on Brier score, log loss and calibration error. That's a real-world lesson in forecasting.
Outcomes aren't oversold
Results are recorded as aligned, against, neutral or unscored, and a later price move is never presented as proof of cause.

06 · Questions
Before you bring it to the committee.
Is Akem investment advice?
No. Akem is a research and education tool and is not investment advice. Calls like WAIT, WATCH, LONG and SHORT summarize how a report reads the evidence. They are a starting point for students' own analysis, not a recommendation to trade.
How is this different from the data terminal in our lab?
A terminal gives students the data. Akem gives them a reasoned, cited reading of it: what matters in this print, what the market expects, and what would change the view. Most programs use both, with the terminal for raw data and Akem for the earnings workflow built on top of it.
How do students know they can trust the AI?
They shouldn't take it on trust, and Akem doesn't ask them to. Reports cite their sources, say what would weaken each finding and when the evidence was last observed, and report chat is limited to a single report. That makes Akem's reasoning easy to check, which is a useful skill in itself.
What does a campus pilot look like?
A pilot covers one earnings season for a fund, course or club. We set up seats, run a kickoff session, and check in with your faculty advisor after the season. Tell us about your program below and we'll shape it from there.
Ring in next season with Akem.
Faculty advisors, fund leads and club presidents: leave your email and we'll be in touch about a campus pilot for the next earnings season.
