1 of 10 topics

Know your weapons before you enter the arena.

Everyone says you should start investing, but no one tells you what the stuff actually is. Stocks? ETFs? Index funds? It can feel like you’ve walked into a game without knowing the rules. If it all feels a bit overwhelming at first, that’s normal.


This skill gives you a clear view of what’s what, so you don’t end up picking tools that don’t match your style or goals. Like choosing the wrong gear class in a game – not ideal.


You’ll learn:


  1. Why stocks, ETFs and funds behave differently and what that means for your investing
  2. What each asset class actually represents and how it fits into your portfolio goals
  3. How to pick the structure that aligns with your mindset, time horizon and risk style
