Gain clarity on your money goals and hit that buy button with confidence. 🧭

01
You’re a savvy professional who wants to build wealth in the stock market, but is confused how to start or have dabbled with mixed results.
02
You want to learn from an expert (20+ year Wall Street veteran), who is no B.S., speaks human, not jargon, and makes investing fun.
03
You want to steward your wealth with confidence, keeping it simple and with a reasonable time commitment, not spending more than an hour/wk.
Be ready to invest your portfolio 🌱
You'll have built your portfolio, custom-designed for your investment goals, timeframe, and risk tolerance.
After 30 days, through hands-on activities in small groups, and a lot of guidance from me, you’ll be ready to smash that buy button with confidence.
Go from confusion to clarity 🎉
Shift from fear and scarcity to abundance. Push through what's held you back from investing well in the past.
Investing now brings you peace of mind because you know what to do, how to do it, and why you're doing it.
Own an investment toolkit 🛠️
You'll learn how to use the tools provided to make ongoing adjustments to your portfolio.
Having mastered key investment concepts, you'll stop second-guessing yourself and getting spooked when markets get rough.
Have a close-knit community of fellow investors 👩🏻👨🏼🧔🏾
Classmates can become your “Investment Committee” with which to share new investment ideas or parse the markets. You'll build friendships working in breakouts, and find 2-3 "thought partners" you'll want to continue discussing investments with after the course.
Sleep better at night 😴
Because you’ve applied a Nobel Prize-winning approach to reducing risk, you no longer worry yourself awake.
Spend only an hour per week monitoring ⏰
It’s not over when you hit that buy button. You'll continue to monitor your portfolio with confidence. All it takes is an hour a week.

How this working mom of 2 boys found her confidence through this course.
I help women to take control of your financial life by learning how to invest and start building your version of financial freedom, without overwhelm.
This is more meaningful to me than having invested billions over my 20+ year Wall Street career.
The difference between losing money or making money is whether you speculate (fruitless short-term trading) or invest (sticking to a long-term strategy).
I made my way as a scholarship kid from India to Singapore, Lafayette College, and Harvard Business School. My years at Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms helped me hone my time-tested investment philosophy and strategy.
The purpose of this course is to teach busy professionals who are rockstars in their world but investment amateurs or novices. This course is for those who want to grow their wealth with confidence, ease, and a manageable time commitment.
From novice to gaining the skills to invest confidently

Active learning, not passive watching
Live workshops and hands-on projects make learning fun. Unlike lecture courses, I'll teach a concept, show you an example, give you a prompt, and then you’ll do it in a small breakout group.
You learn by doing, not by watching.
Learn with a cohort of peers
Surround yourself with like-minded people who want to grow alongside you. Working and helping each other with the group exercises ensures that no one gets left behind.
Make new friends with people who share your interests.
Personalized guidance and feedback
In this course, you will create four iterations of your portfolio. Because I’m not a financial advisor I won’t guide you on specific funds to buy or which asset categories to choose.
But I can teach you to think about the composition of your portfolio and how to choose funds that meet your investment criteria.
I'll also provide personalized feedback after every portfolio submission.
Community engagement
We'll have a private Slack channel for our cohort to get to know each other, post questions and answers, homework assignments, or anything else that helps us learn and grow as investors.
The community aspect of cohort-based courses has become my favorite part of online learning.
