A concise overview of the program.
This investing for beginners course takes you from the basic rules of money and saving to building an investment portfolio. You get to know the main types of investment, from stocks and funds to commodities, derivatives and crypto, and you learn to look at risk before return.
You then move to the market itself: who supervises it, which practices are prohibited, how investment and trading strategies are built, and where AI and sustainable investing fit in.
You apply what you learn on the QuantRock investment simulation platform without risking real money, and finish with a personal financial plan and a case study.
