Start Building Your Investment Future

Most people think you need tons of money to begin. That's not really true. What matters more is understanding what you're doing and why. We help Canadians figure out the basics before they put their first dollar anywhere.

Why Most People Wait Too Long

There's this idea that investing is complicated. Or risky. And sure, if you jump in without knowing anything, it can be. But waiting years to learn costs you something too—time your money could've been working for you.

We've seen people in their 40s who wish they'd started in their 20s. Not because they needed huge amounts back then, but because even small, regular investments build up. The real trick is knowing where to start and what questions to ask.

Clear Starting Points

We break down exactly what you need to know first. No jargon walls or confusing charts—just straightforward explanations.

Canadian Context

TFSAs, RRSPs, tax considerations—everything is tailored to how things actually work in Canada.

Risk Awareness

Every investment has trade-offs. We help you understand what you're getting into before you commit.

Realistic Timelines

Investment growth takes time. We focus on building habits that last decades, not chasing quick wins.

What You'll Actually Learn

Our autumn 2025 program covers the fundamentals that matter. These aren't abstract concepts—they're the decisions you'll face when you open your first account.

01

Understanding Risk Tolerance

Everyone talks about diversification. But what does that mean for you specifically? We help you figure out what level of market fluctuation you can handle without panicking.

02

Account Types & Tax Implications

Should you use a TFSA or RRSP first? Depends on your situation. We walk through real scenarios so you can see which makes sense for your income and goals.

03

Building Your First Portfolio

Index funds, ETFs, individual stocks—there are options. We explain what each one does, how they differ, and help you build a starter portfolio that fits your timeline.

Who This Is For

You don't need a finance degree. You just need to be ready to learn and willing to start somewhere. Our program works best for people who:

  • Have some income to set aside regularly but aren't sure where to put it
  • Want to understand what they're investing in, not just follow someone else's advice blindly
  • Are looking at a 10+ year timeline and want to build steady habits
  • Feel overwhelmed by all the options and need a clear path forward

Our next session starts in September 2025. Classes run evenings and weekends to fit around work schedules.
