Investment fundamentals
Module 1 of Urbanitae Academy, titled “Investment Fundamentals – Make Your Money Grow”, is a clear and practical guide for anyone looking to start investing or strengthen their financial foundation.
This first module has a clear goal: to help you identify investment strategies that can lead to long-term success. It combines simple explanations, interactive examples, practical exercises, and dynamic learning materials.
Some of the key topics you’ll find include:
- How to build a solid financial foundation, starting with saving, creating an emergency fund, and setting a realistic budget.
- The difference between saving and investing, and why it’s crucial to define your goals before jumping into investments.
- How to manage your debts effectively so they don’t become a roadblock to your financial progress.
- The power of compound interest, explained using tools like the Rule of 72, which helps you calculate how long it will take for your money to double based on the interest rate.
- A comparison between traditional and alternative investment products, including the role of real estate crowdfunding as an entry point for small investors.
- Diversification, what Ray Dalio calls the “holy grail” of investing, and how to apply it to your portfolio.
- How to measure profitability, distinguishing between estimated and actual returns, and learning how to interpret concepts like ROI, CoC, or IRR.
Throughout the module, you’ll find short quizzes to track your progress and review the key takeaways from each topic.
A course for all profiles
Whether you’re just taking your first steps in the world of investing or already have some experience, this first module will help you:
- Understand the key concepts every investor should know.
