Course overview

Go from novice to confident stock market investor 🚀

Create a ready-to-invest portfolio YOU have designed to meet YOUR unique needs. 🎯 


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


Start building long-term wealth for your family. 💰

Who is this stock market investing course for?

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.

After taking this course you’ll ….

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.

Student transformations 🎉

        It's no exaggeration Andy's course changed my life. For the first time in my adult life, I broke the cycle of shame & avoidance associated with investing. When I launched my portfolio on graduation day, I felt so empowered. Andy becomes your best friend in this journey. You don't just build a portfolio; you gain a powerful insight into yourself.
Rachel R.

        I used to think investing was complicated and time-consuming. I felt a financial advisor might be my best bet, but not understanding how they’d invest my money was frustrating. Andy's course empowered me to make my own judgments. I can now create a portfolio that fits my exact needs & worldview. I loved how Andy makes it so fun and approachable!
Ludovic D.

Co-founder, Kickass UX
        Before Andy's course, investing was daunting to learn. Andy breaks it down simply, so I felt empowered & capable from day 1. The BEST part is finishing with a portfolio I designed myself w/o overwhelm or blind guessing. I took control of my financial future & am now teaching my 11-yr old son!
Lanay J.

        My biggest fear was losing all our family's money. After this course, I invested a significant amount of money in a portfolio I designed myself. With Andy's simple guiding principles and tools, I got past my fears about investing. What I enjoyed most about Andy's approach is his focus on making this fun and meeting everyone at their level.

        Before this course, I didn't know how to invest on my own. I just paid the fee to have someone look after my portfolio. This life-changing class empowered me to face my demons about money. Andy bares his soul. His openness about his successes & failures enhances learning his investing concepts. Take this journey with an amazing mentor!
Roberto R.

Roberto R.

Educator
        I was a self-taught investor before taking Andy's course, but worried about not knowing what I didn't know. At the end of the course, I was thrilled to have a portfolio I was excited and confident about. The cohort-based experience is invaluable. Andy goes all out to coach you. This class is an investment in your future. Don't hesitate to take it!

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. 

Brooke shares her transformation.

From novice to gaining the skills to invest confidently

More student transformations 🎉

        I learned the value of not panicking during moments outside my control. Knowing that the markets will go through swings and the best thing I can do is to stay the course helped kick me out of the flight response, which would have been to take the losses and sell.

        Andy's course breaks down complex topics into easy to understand digestible steps. It was great having my questions answered in real time and receive hands on coaching from Andy. The interactive activities with my small group made this course unique and so worth it.

Learning is better with cohorts, personalized guidance and expert feedback

Learning is better with cohorts, personalized guidance and expert feedback

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.
