Investment Theory Without the Nonsense
Build your understanding of how markets actually work
Forget the promises about getting rich overnight. We're here to teach you what portfolio theory really means — and why understanding risk matters more than chasing returns.
Three Concepts That Changed Everything
Most people dive into investing without understanding the foundations. These aren't flashy ideas — but they're what separate thoughtful investors from gamblers.
Modern Portfolio Theory
Harry Markowitz figured out in 1952 that diversification isn't just spreading your bets. It's about finding assets that move differently from each other. When one dips, another might climb. That's the elegant part — reducing risk without sacrificing returns.
Capital Asset Pricing
The CAPM tells you something uncomfortable: you can't avoid systematic risk. Market-wide movements affect everyone. But understanding beta — how much your investment swings with the market — helps you make informed choices about what you're really taking on.
Efficient Market Hypothesis
Markets are pretty good at pricing information. Not perfect, but good enough that beating them consistently is harder than most people think. This is why passive strategies often win — and why understanding your actual edge matters.
How We Actually Teach This Stuff

What Former Students Say
"I came in thinking I understood diversification. Turns out I was just spreading my money around randomly. The framework for actually measuring correlation changed how I build portfolios."
Declan Rafferty, Halifax
"The section on behavioral finance hit hard. Seeing my own biases reflected in the data made me realize why some of my investment decisions kept failing. Practical stuff, not academic theory."
Torsten Lindholm, Toronto
