Learn Our Approach
Core Concepts We Cover
Each topic gets dedicated focus. We skip the information dump and give you time to absorb what matters.
Portfolio Basics
What goes into a solid portfolio and why diversification isn't just a buzzword. Real examples from Canadian market conditions included.
Risk Assessment
Understanding your comfort zone with market fluctuations. We explore practical methods to gauge what fits your situation.
Goal Setting
Aligning investments with actual life plans. Whether it's retirement or a major purchase, we map out realistic timelines.
Market Mechanics
How stocks, bonds, and ETFs function without the mystery. Simple explanations of what drives prices and how exchanges work.
Long-Term Strategy
Building patience into your approach. We discuss why compound growth takes time and how to stay focused during downturns.
Tax Awareness
Canadian tax implications for different investment types. TFSAs, RRSPs, and capital gains explained in plain language.
Why Our Method Works Differently
Most programs throw everything at you at once. Then expect you to figure it out. We've found that doesn't work for most people.
Instead, we focus on one concept until it clicks. Then we move forward. Each module builds on what came before, and you get time to process the information properly.
- Weekly sessions starting September 2025 with manageable homework assignments
- Real portfolio reviews (anonymized) to see concepts applied in practice
- Interactive Q&A where your specific questions drive the discussion
- Access to recorded sessions if you need to catch up or review material
Your Learning Path
Four months of structured content. Each phase designed to build on previous knowledge.
Foundation Month
Basic terminology and market structure. You'll understand how different asset classes work and what makes them move. We cover investment vehicles available to Canadian investors and how to read financial statements without falling asleep.
Strategy Development
Building your personal investment philosophy. We explore different approaches—value investing, growth strategies, index tracking—and help you find what fits your goals and temperament. No one-size-fits-all recommendations here.
Practical Application
Portfolio construction exercises using hypothetical scenarios. You'll learn asset allocation, rebalancing techniques, and how to evaluate individual investments. This is where theory meets practice in a safe environment.
Ongoing Management
Monitoring, adjusting, and staying disciplined. We discuss how to review performance, when to make changes, and how to avoid emotional decisions during market volatility. Plus tax-efficient strategies for Canadian investors.
What Past Participants Say
I'd read a dozen books but still felt lost when it came to actually building a portfolio. The structured approach here finally made everything connect. Now I understand why I'm making each investment choice.
The tax module alone was worth the program. I had no idea how much I was leaving on the table with my RRSP strategy. The instructor took time to answer my specific questions about dividend income too.
Next Cohort Starts September 2025
