The Academy

One course to invest knowing what you are doing

Short modules, one mechanism at a time, no jargon and no promise of returns. We explain how things work; what you do with it is yours.

The path

Six pillars, from the first euro to a method

The pillars read in order, but nothing forces it: each module explains one mechanism and stands on its own.

  1. 01

    Taking stock

    Situation, horizon, profile, emergency fund: what gets settled before the first euro is invested.

    • The number three months of statements produce, and what it decides
    • The safety cushion: how much, and what its account must satisfy
    • What comes before investing, and what can be worked around

    Mindset and discipline

    Frugality, your relationship with money, compound interest, and where speculating ends and investing begins.

    • Why intuition always misjudges what time does to money
    • The savings rate: the only one of three variables you control
    • The four reasons plans get abandoned, and which ones you can defuse

    Accounts and asset classes

    Indices, tax wrappers, life insurance, securities accounts, retirement plans, asset classes and ETFs: what a portfolio is made of.

    • What an index measures, and how an index fund weights it
    • Tax wrappers one by one: what each one allows and forbids
    • A routing method: horizon first, tax treatment last

    Investing in practice

    Pick an ETF, open an account, place your first order, measure the fees and hold your course when the market drops.

    • The real procedure, field by field, not the theory
    • The five layers of fees and what they do over time
    • What a crash changes about an automated plan: nothing, and why

    • A tax cluster with one page per country
    • Quizzes, badges and progress saved to your account

    Building and holding

    Allocation, rebalancing, a written plan, tax and ground rules: what turns gestures into a method.

    • Why allocation matters far more than fund selection
    • How to size a crypto pocket, and by what reasoning
    • The written plan: what it prevents, and why it holds

How it works

Three things to know before you start

01

One module, one mechanism

Each module explains a single thing and ends with a quiz. Expect ten to twenty minutes.

02

Your progress follows you

With a free account, completed modules and quiz scores are kept — from one device to the next.

03

No personalised advice

This course describes mechanisms. It takes no account of your situation and recommends no investment.
