Transparent Investing: The Course
The Companion Interactive Online Course to the Bestselling Book
Transparent Investing: The Course pulls back the curtain and gives you a look from inside the investment industry.
Interactive, humorous, and packed with simple, data-proven strategies, Patrick Geddes builds on the concepts shared in his bestselling book,
Transparent Investing, and offers participants the investment knowledge that most benefits them—not the people selling them financial advice or products.

I’m Patrick and I’m obsessed with telling investors the truth.
And the truth is that there isn’t a secret formula to “beat the market.” But that’s not exactly a popular message with investment advisors. That’s because they make more money when you believe you can outsmart the system.
I created Transparent Investing: The Course to help investors or potential investors at all wealth levels demystify investing to make it less intimidating, learn how the investment game is played, maximize long-term wealth, and learn how to interact with the investment industry in a constructive way.

investing course...
Less quick tips and more mind shifts…
Transparent Investing: The Course shines a light on how you can be your own worst enemy (ouch)—and how to avoid getting taken for a ride by an industry that too often looks out for itself first and you second.
Loaded with practical information, interactive modules and a healthy dose of sarcasm, the course delves into behavioral biases, investing basics and delivers honest, candid, and personalized expertise on whether you are better off managing your own portfolio or hiring an advisor. It also shows you how to build a simple yet strong portfolio to match your own situation.
Module 1: Your Brain Can Be Hazardous to Your Wealth
Module 2: The Investment Industry Unvarnished
Module 3: How to Decide Whether to DIY or Hire
Module 4: How to Build Your Own Portfolio
Module 5: How to Hire an Advisor

The Course
“Investors around the world have been crying out for just this kind of course, and, as a financial educator myself, I can’t recommend it highly enough.
It’s informative, engaging and entertaining. But most importantly, it’s genuinely designed to help you and not to sell you something. All the proceeds go to charity. It might just be the most valuable four hours, and the best 20 bucks, you’ll ever spend.”
