Green Ring AcademyInvesting — from first principles to a real portfolio.
Eight sessions with mentors from EDE Asset Management, Moomoo Canada, and National Bank of Canada, ending in a live team investment competition.
Five building blocks, in order.
Investing Foundations
Demystify the markets. Discover what investing truly means, why time is your greatest asset, and how risk, reward, ROI, and dividends operate through immersive simulation practice.
ETFs & Diversification
Look under the hood of modern markets. Learn how Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are structured, weigh strategic trade-offs, and map your personal risk tolerance to real-world portfolio options.
Designing a Portfolio
Think like a long-term strategist. Explore investor life cycles and asset allocation styles, then architect a personal portfolio that deliberately balances aggressive growth with calculated risk.
Decoding Financial Statements
Learn the true language of business. Master how to analyze cash flow, income statements, and health metrics to evaluate a company’s real worth — cutting through market hype.
The Capstone Investment Competition
Put your strategy to the test. Apply your accumulated frameworks in a live, simulated trading challenge. Under the mentorship of industry professionals, students manage a portfolio, defend their strategy in a final presentation, and compete for top honors.

Student Testimonials
“The Green Ring Program course is incredibly unique, insightful and educational. Before this course, I had a limited understanding of how investing actually worked. Now I feel much more confident discussing financial topics and placing orders in the stock market. This course is so special because of how practical it felt — we got to invest in Moomoo and learn through practice. Overall this course has evoked my passion for finances and I will definitely continue to invest.”

“This class was really incredible. The pace of the lectures were pretty good — the topics were well arranged in that they build on top of one another. The group presentations on ETFs and the study sessions over the weekends were definitely a good idea. Listening to guest speakers was so interesting — it gave us insight into the financial world.”

Parent Testimonials
“Rachel used to have zero interest in investing, finance, or current events. But as the course deepened, she started opening the news on her own, following the election, and talking about the trade war. This course was short, but it genuinely sparked her passion for building wealth.”

“Thank you for all your organization and effort. Nigel gained a lot — he went from having zero background in economics or business to building real foundational concepts and understanding. I’m truly grateful you opened that door for them.”
