Learn to invest.
Then build a plan you'll stick with.
A free, structured course that takes you from “what's an ETF” to a written portfolio plan — with a verifiable certificate at the end. No flashing tickers, no auto-trading, no hype. Just the foundation, done properly.
From “am I ready?” to a written plan.
Six modules, built in plain language for people who haven't invested yet. No “5 stocks to buy today” — the boring fundamentals that actually decide your outcomes. By the end you'll be able to:
- Tell genuine investing apart from trading, speculation and gambling — and know which you're doing.
- Judge honestly whether you're financially and psychologically ready to start.
- Pick a broker and set it up safely for the way you actually invest.
- Build a diversified core/satellite portfolio and size positions so no single bet can sink you.
- Live with a portfolio — reading signals and your own behaviour — without overreacting.

completed Module 1: Are you actually ready?
A written plan, on one page, in human language.
Most retail portfolios drift because they were never written down. The plan builder walks you through the five decisions that actually matter — core, regional tilt, themes, hedges, individual conviction — and outputs a plan that fits on a postcard. Backtest it, save it as a draft, revisit it before clicking anything at your broker.
- Asset-class buckets first, tickers shown as examples second.
- Backtest against the last 10 years — vs MSCI World.
- Save as a draft. Edit it next week without losing context.
Illustrative backtest. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Illustrative Rückrechnung. Die Wertentwicklung der Vergangenheit ist kein Indikator für künftige Ergebnisse.
Three steps, no jargon, finished in fifteen minutes.
Five honest questions about how you actually behave around money — not a Likert-scale risk slider.
Walk through five decisions: core, region, tilt, hedge, conviction. Each step explains the why.
Backtest against the last decade. See drawdowns honestly. Compare to a one-line global ETF.
Three things we promise. And one we don't.
Nordsight never executes a trade. Every plan idea links into your broker — you place the order.
Any broker referral is clearly labelled as advertising. What we teach — and the plan we suggest — isn’t shaped by who pays a referral fee.
We teach you to make your own calls. No “buy this now,” no signals you’re told to follow blindly.
The one we won't make: that this will beat the market. It probably won't. The honest goal is to help you build a portfolio you understand, can defend, and won't panic-sell when it drops 30%. The market does the rest.
