Youāre a savvy professional who wants to build wealth in the stock market, but is confused how to start or have dabbled with mixed results.
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.Ā
You want to steward your wealth with confidence, keeping it simple and with a reasonable time commitment, not spending more than 30 mins/wk.
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, youāll be ready to smash that buy button with confidence.
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.
You'll learn how to use the tools provided to make ongoing adjustments to your portfolio.Ā
Having mastered key investment concepts, you'll stop second-guessing yourself and getting spooked when markets get rough.
Classmates can become your āInvestment Committeeā 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.
Because youāve applied a Nobel Prize-winning approach to reducing risk, you no longer worry yourself awake.
Itās 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.
The difference between losing money or making money is whether you speculate (fruitless short-term trading) or invest (sticking to a long-term strategy).
In my 20+ years on Wall Street, I have invested in over a hundred companies across geographic markets, navigating three financial crises and economic recessions successfully, including the worst recession since the Great Depression (2008-2009).Ā
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.Ā
I'll share with you everything I know:Ā from my costliest mistakes to the proprietary tools Iāve developed, and finally, the best way to create a DIY portfolio thatās custom-built for you.Ā
If youāre sitting on spare cash or are frustrated with dabbling in the stock market, this course is for you.

Now that you can easily sling data around, Iāll show you how to narrow down your investment choices from thousands of funds. šÆ
In this session, youāll learn how to use my proprietary screening tool to find the handful of funds that meet your criteria. No need to overthink or overanalyze your choices -- My tool keeps things simple.

08
Congratulations!Ā š
You are now ready to hit the buy button and start populating your brokerage account with your hand-picked ETFs and mutual funds.
In this session, I will address any lingering questions/fears/doubts, review key concepts as needed, and make sure that you are off to a confident start as an investor.Ā
You'll pick either the afternoon or evening cohort for our live workshops, where you'll learn, apply and practice in small breakouts. Plus I host an afterparty -- I'll stay back after class to answer your questions.
Learning is best when there's a specific action item after class. There will be some pre-reading for certain weeks.
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 youāll do it in a small breakout group.
You learn by doing, not by watching.
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.
In this course, you will create four iterations of your portfolio. Because Iām not a financial advisor I wonāt 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.Ā
I'll hold weekly office hours to answer questions. This is the time to discuss any questions you have about concepts, portfolio design, specific issues you are running into, or anything else on your mind.
You can also just come hang out with me.Ā
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, thanks to my amazing experiences with the Maven accelerator course.
