People are sometimes skeptical why anyone gives anything (usually on a free email service like Gmail) or why if something is so good, it is advertised (as they write on their Apple iPhone).

The reasons we give our education is:

• Actually it's all been paid for already. Having written 18 books on trading published by Financial Times, Wiley, MacMillan - the content we bring you here has already been paid for. And those books were written to raise our profile and build our credentials before the launch of our hedge fund. (In case you were wondering, even billionaires like Michael Bloomberg write books - usually for ego - we confess that was a motive). The education we provide has also been paid for by the investors in our hedge fund, by allowing us to do research and development and share it not only for their benefit but through our technology which we own.

• We took a leaf out of the billionaire Jeff Bezos's book - he was a hedge fund manager, who spun out a technology company - Amazon - now the world's biggest company. We too realised our hedge fund had invested millions in our technology and a small proportion of it should be spun out, as the Google of Investing, and then to eventually, like Google and Amazon, take Venture Capital investment and eventually float/IPO it. Our training is part of our hedge fund plan to IPO the company. The future we believe is of such companies to be billion dollar companies.

Empowering a Million Futures: The Trillion-Dollar Vision of Democratising Financial Literacy

You don't need to be Prime Minister to make a difference. Imagine the profound impact of reaching a million individuals, not just in the sheer number but in the depth of that reach.

Now, extend that vision further – teaching a million people how to add an extra million to their pensions over their lifetimes. 

This isn't a mere financial transaction; it's a monumental shift in wealth creation, cumulating in a staggering trillion.

This vision is democratic in its purest form. It's about levelling the playing field, where knowledge and education become the great equalisers. 

In a world where financial disparity is rampant and the complexities of investing leave many at a disadvantage, providing accessible, high-quality financial education is not just a service, it's a social revolution.

The power of technology in this endeavour cannot be overstated. Through digital platforms, online courses, and interactive tools, the barriers to financial education are crumbling.

Gone are the days when such knowledge was the preserve of the elite or those with the means to access exclusive information. 

Now, anyone with an internet connection can tap into a wealth of resources, guided by experts who demystify the world of finance.

This democratisation of financial knowledge aligns closely with the principles of inclusivity and empowerment. 

It's a pathway to financial independence, where individuals are equipped with the tools and understanding to make informed decisions about their money. This isn't just about investing in stocks or bonds; it's about investing in people's futures.

Moreover, this approach challenges the traditional paradigms of wealth management. Rather than relying on fund managers or IFAs, whose interests may not always align with their clients, individuals are empowered to take control of their financial destinies. 

This empowerment is crucial, as it fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility over one's financial well-being.

My expertise, honed through years of experience and enriched by my diverse background, positions me to lead this charge.

Your vision of adding value to a million pensions is more than just a financial goal; it's a commitment to social change. 

In conclusion, the fusion of technology, education, and financial expertise holds the key to unlocking a new era of wealth creation and distribution. It's an era where knowledge transcends boundaries, where financial literacy is a right, not a privilege, and where every individual has the opportunity to secure their financial future. 

This is more than a trillion-dollar vision; it's a blueprint for a more equitable and financially empowered society.
