Ash's portfolio
Ash's personal portfolio returns, annualised, as at 18 August 2026. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. These are one investor's results, shown to be transparent about the process this course teaches — course participants should not expect similar returns, and nothing here is personal financial advice.

How it works
Three ideas power every lesson in the course.
Learn interactively
Every lesson runs 5–15 minutes: a hook, a short teach, an interactive widget, a quiz, and a real task. No 40-minute lecture videos to zone out on.
Practice risk-free
Buy and sell real tickers in a practice portfolio with real (delayed) prices. Write down why you're buying — build the habit before real money is on the line.
Build the habit
XP, streaks, a 5-question daily review deck, and weekly live quiz nights turn 15 minutes a day into a routine that actually sticks.

Frequently asked questions
Still have a question? Get in touch.
Is this financial advice?
No. Foundations Core is general information and education only — it doesn't take into account your personal objectives, financial situation, or needs, and it isn't a substitute for advice from a licensed financial adviser. Nothing in the course is a recommendation to buy or sell any specific investment.
Do I need any experience to start?
No. Part 1 assumes zero background and builds from first principles — what a share actually is, why prices move, and what your own money goals look like. By Part 3 you're reading annual reports and building a risk-adjusted portfolio.
How long does the course take?
12 modules and 66 lessons across three parts, designed for roughly 15–20 minutes a day. Most learners finish Part 1 in a week and the full course in six to eight weeks at a relaxed pace.
What's the practice portfolio, exactly?
A practice portfolio funded with play money. You search real tickers, see real (delayed) quotes, and place trades — but every buy requires a one-sentence reason first. It's designed to build the habit of having a thesis, not just a hunch.
What if it's not for me?
Try before you buy: three full lessons from three different modules are free once you create an account — including the fee-drag calculator and the insider-trading tracker. All sales are final (no change-of-mind refunds); your statutory rights under consumer law are unaffected.
