Understand deeply, so you can stick with it

This is institutional-quality education, not retail fluff. We go deep into the research, show you the trade-offs, and explain exactly when and why strategies fail. Because if you don't truly understand what you own, you'll quit at the worst possible time.

Every topic covers the process (how it works), the practical (how to implement it), and the behavioural (how to stick with it).

What's Next?

A unique opportunity to build your long-term portfolio — with guidance.

This isn't just a beta test. It's a two-week, outcome-focused sprint designed to help you build a robust, long-term core portfolio you actually trust and understand.

We'll cover the main model portfolios in depth: Global 60/40, All-Stocks, All-Weather, Endowment Model, and Permanent Portfolio. You'll leave with a clear plan for YOUR allocation.

This is highly practical, almost personalized coaching — at an intentionally low price that reflects the platform is still being built. You'll help shape what InvestLab becomes.

What's included

  • Live workshops walking through each model portfolio
  • Deep-dive materials on Global 60/40, All-Weather, Endowment, and Permanent Portfolio
  • Hands-on exercises to build YOUR portfolio allocation
  • Direct Q&A and personalized feedback sessions
  • Practical guidance on implementation and trading

This is for you if

  • You're committed to actually implementing and trading the portfolio
  • You want to dedicate real time and effort (you'll be expected to contribute)
  • You want to build portfolios like a business: with process, not prayers

This is not for you if

  • You expect guaranteed or unrealistic returns
  • You want quick wins or trade alerts
  • You want excitement over discipline
  • You're a complete beginner with no investing experience
