FOLITIC / INVESTMENT GUIDE

Investment Guide

Start with a real lesson from each guide. Build the concepts, then put them into practice.

Explore Investment Guide

Economics Explained

Start here: learn economics step by step

Start with everyday economic decisions, then work through growth, inflation, markets and data analysis. Choose a lesson or follow the full sequence.

Read the lesson ↗

Stocks Explained

What a share represents and why ownership matters

A share is a claim on a business, not simply a price on a screen. Begin with ownership, shareholder rights and the difference between value and a quote.

Read the lesson ↗

Bonds Explained

What a bond is and how you get paid

A bond starts with a lending agreement. Learn who owes you money, how payments work and why a promise is different from a guarantee.

Read the lesson ↗

Commodities Explained

What commodities are and why they matter

Start with the raw materials behind food, energy and manufacturing, then learn how to move through this course.

Read the lesson ↗

Forex Explained

What forex is and why currencies move

Understand what a currency exchange actually does, who uses it and how to follow this learning path.

Read the lesson ↗

Crypto Trading Guide

How crypto markets work

Start with the difference between a blockchain, an exchange and the asset you trade. Learn what a quoted price actually represents.

Read the lesson ↗

Options

Calls and puts from both sides of the contract

Begin with the four basic positions. A call or put describes a right, while buying or selling determines whether you hold that right or accept an obligation.

Read the lesson ↗

Futures

What a futures contract commits you to

A futures position creates an obligation whose value changes with an underlying market. Begin by separating the contract from the cash deposited to support it.

Read the lesson ↗

Forwards

What a forward contract commits you to

A forward fixes the terms of a future transaction. Understanding the obligation comes before trying to predict the market.

Read the lesson ↗

CFDs

What a CFD gives you and what it does not

A CFD turns a price change into a contractual cash result. Understanding what you own, and who owes that result, comes before choosing a market.

Read the lesson ↗

Swaps

What a swap contract actually exchanges

A swap exchanges defined financial cash flows between counterparties. The useful starting point is the payment obligation, not a prediction about which market will rise.

Read the lesson ↗

Warrants & Rights

What a warrant gives you and what it does not

A warrant is a contractual opportunity, not immediate ownership of the underlying shares. Its usefulness depends on the entitlement, the exercise terms and the time available.

Read the lesson ↗

Hybrid Securities

What makes a security a hybrid

A hybrid combines contractual features associated with debt and equity. Start with the legal claim, then examine the choices that can change its cash flows.

Read the lesson ↗

ETFs

What an ETF owns and what you own

An ETF gives you an interest in a portfolio, not direct ownership of every security inside it. Learn what the wrapper does and which risks remain.

Read the lesson ↗

REITs

What you own when you buy a REIT

A REIT lets you invest in a property business without buying a building yourself. Your share is a claim on a company, with operating costs, debt and management decisions between...

Read the lesson ↗

Mutual Funds

What you own when you buy a mutual fund

A mutual fund pools investors' money into one portfolio. Your shares give you an economic interest in that portfolio, while its mandate determines what the manager can own.

Read the lesson ↗

Closed-End Funds

What you own in a closed end fund

A closed end fund pools investors’ capital in a managed portfolio. Owning its shares gives you an interest in that portfolio, with market pricing and fund expenses layered on top.

Read the lesson ↗

Hedge Funds

What a hedge fund is and what it is not

A hedge fund pools investor capital under a private investment mandate. The useful starting point is what it owns, how it trades and when investors can withdraw.

Read the lesson ↗

Collective Funds

What collective funds are and how pooling works

A collective fund combines eligible investors’ money in a shared portfolio. Pooling changes how investments are administered, but it does not remove the risk of what the fund owns.

Read the lesson ↗

Investment Trusts

What an investment trust actually owns

An investment trust gives shareholders an interest in a company that owns a portfolio. Understanding that extra layer of ownership explains how its price, income and decisions work.
