Course Overview

Investing Starter Challenge: Build Your First Portfolio

Think investing is only for wealthy people or financial experts? Think again.

Welcome to the Investing Starter Challenge — a free, hands-on introduction to the world of investing, designed for complete beginners.

In this short course, you’ll discover how investing works, explore popular investment types, and take on a fictional $1,000 portfolio challenge where you make your own investment decisions without risking real money.

You’ll learn why people invest, how stocks, ETFs and bonds differ, and why building a portfolio is about more than simply choosing investments that might increase in price.

What you’ll experience:

• Discover the difference between saving and investing.

• Explore different types of investment assets.

• Build your own fictional $1,000 investment portfolio.

• Understand diversification and investment risk.

• Learn how to respond when markets rise or fall.

• Test your knowledge with a short final assessment.

No previous investing experience is required. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to learn.
