Looking for dedicated learners

We wish to share our experience by way of e-learning courses and on-site training. FREE of COST .

The objective is to empower the self-motivated and self-starters make a career in trading either by working for others (as trading assistants, proprietary traders, analysts, quants or algorithmic traders) or for self (personal investment or home business) deploying own financial resources.

No finance qualification or even an university degree is needed for a person who is keen on acquiring finance training through our planned courses.

We have built no-nonsense investment/trading systems that will help a layperson understand the world’s financial markets and trade for living or part-time income.

Transformational Investing

Our aim is to:

1. Embrace the underfunded learners and teach them the mechanics of trading and wealth management so that strongly-motivated individuals among them can be employed for entry-level jobs in online financial services sector.

Luckily, Hong Kong has a shortage of finance manpower and restrictive immigration policies. The institutions want to hire only university graduates for entry-level jobs but want to pay them salaries a secondary school graduate commands. As a result they are forced to train in-house and the dropout rates are high. Now they are showing flexibility in giving entry-level jobs to non-university graduates.

2. Pry open the door for all those who have some money but don't know how to become a self-directed investor/trader for any reason.

Two of well- known reasons are: they believe they can't do it; or they believe that they are busy with other things that are more interesting to them and allowing expensive advisors to handle their money.

3. Lend a helping hand to those who have:

(a) the desire to become financially free in retirement.

(b) motivation not to depend on advisors and handle own money .

(c) interest in upgrading their job skills of investing for SME employers.
