Building Financial Confidence Together
Here's the thing about family investing - it doesn't need to feel overwhelming. We've been helping Canadian families understand investment basics since 2018, and honestly? The best part is watching people go from nervous to genuinely curious about their financial future.

How We Help Families Start Investing
Most people don't realize that investing knowledge builds in stages. You don't wake up one day suddenly understanding market dynamics - it happens gradually, through guided practice.
Foundation Sessions
We start with conversations, not jargon. During these first months (our Fall 2025 cohort begins October 14), you'll learn what different investment types actually mean for your family's situation. Think questions like "what's the real difference between a stock and a bond?" answered in plain language.
Strategy Exploration
This is where things get interesting. You'll see how various families approach their portfolios differently based on their goals. No two strategies look identical because no two families are identical - and that's perfectly fine.
Practice Application
Using simulated scenarios, you'll test out decisions in a no-risk environment. Made a choice that didn't pan out? Great - now you understand why without actual consequences. This phase tends to build the most confidence.
Ongoing Support
After your initial learning period, you'll have access to monthly check-ins and our community forum. Markets change, questions come up - we stay connected as long as you find it helpful.
Why Families Choose Our Learning Style
Look, there are tons of investing courses out there. Some promise quick wins, others throw complicated terminology at you from day one. We've taken a different route.
Our programs run over several months because that's how long it actually takes to absorb financial concepts comfortably. You can't rush understanding risk tolerance or diversification - these ideas need time to settle in.
What sets us apart? We focus heavily on family dynamics. When couples have different comfort levels with risk, or when you're trying to plan for kids' education while building retirement savings, those competing priorities need thoughtful discussion. Cookie-cutter advice doesn't cut it.
We also keep groups intentionally small. Our Winter 2026 program (starting January 19) caps at 16 families. This isn't about filling seats - it's about creating space where someone can ask "is this a dumb question?" and actually feel comfortable doing so.
Retirement Planning Basics
Understanding RRSPs, TFSAs, and how government benefits fit into your retirement picture. We break down contribution limits, withdrawal strategies, and timing considerations specific to Canadian accounts.
Education Savings
RESPs can be confusing with their grant structures and contribution room rules. We walk through real scenarios showing how different savings timelines affect your grant money and investment growth potential.
Portfolio Balancing
How do you actually decide what percentage goes where? This module covers asset allocation principles, rebalancing timing, and adjusting your mix as life circumstances shift.
What Families Tell Us
Torben Lindholm
Completed Fall 2024 Program
Before this, my spouse and I kept putting off investment decisions because we didn't know where to start. The paced approach helped us actually absorb the information instead of feeling rushed. Now we've set up our first diversified portfolio and feel equipped to adjust it as needed.

Winter 2025 Participant
The small group format made such a difference. I never felt embarrassed asking questions that probably seemed basic to others. Hearing how other families balanced competing financial goals also gave me perspective on our own situation.
