What You’ll Learn in Investing 101

How Our Workshops Work

Watch step-by-step walkthroughs of trusted Canadian platforms, account openings, and simple ETF purchases. You’ll learn where to click, what to read, and how to avoid common setup mistakes that cause costly delays.

How Our Workshops Work

Tackle mini-scenarios based on Canadian incomes, taxes, and monthly budgets. In small breakout discussions, you’ll build a portfolio plan, compare notes with peers, and discover practical tips you can implement this week.

Starter Portfolios for Canadian Beginners

One-ticket ETFs for instant diversification

Learn how all-in-one ETFs offer broad global exposure, automatic rebalancing, and fewer moving parts. We’ll compare risk levels, discuss long-term suitability, and show you how to evaluate options that match your comfort.

Safety ladders and cash management

Explore GIC ladders and high-interest savings ETFs for emergency funds and short-term goals. See how to protect near-term cash, reduce volatility, and separate savings from long-term investments so your plan stays intact.

Automate contributions and rebalancing

Discover pre-authorized contributions that align with payday, plus simple rebalancing routines. Automation helps you avoid timing mistakes, stick with the plan, and grow steadily without second-guessing every market headline.

Real Stories, Real Canadians

Working shifts and juggling debt, a new investor set up tiny automatic TFSA contributions. Six months later, she felt calmer, more focused, and finally proud of steady progress instead of chasing quick wins.

Real Stories, Real Canadians

After arriving in Canada, a newcomer used an FHSA to structure a first-home plan. With a simple ETF portfolio and consistent savings, the down payment felt achievable, not overwhelming, sparking confidence in every decision.

Real Stories, Real Canadians

Unsure where to start, a parent opened an RESP and set automatic contributions. Learning about grants and long timelines turned anxiety into structure, and family money talks became encouraging instead of stressful.

Volatility happens; planning matters

We explore why markets swing and how diversification cushions shocks. Together, we map short-, medium-, and long-term buckets so dips feel survivable, and your essentials remain protected while investments keep compounding.

Avoid hype and fear cycles

Learn to spot hot tips, fear-driven selling, and social-media noise. We’ll practice framing decisions around goals, timelines, and risk tolerance, so your actions reflect your plan—not someone else’s mood or momentum.

Write your personal investing playbook

Create a one-page investment policy statement that spells out contributions, allocation, and rules for rebalancing. This living document steadies you during storms and helps family members stay aligned and confident.
