Frequently asked questions about the Elegant Investor Library.
Some articles are available to read for free without creating an account. The rest are available through our learning programs: Elegant Growth, Elegant Alumni, and Elegant Circle.
Each article has tags displayed below it, one of which indicates the program that provides access to the article. The Elegant Investors tag groups free articles, while separate tags identify articles available through Elegant Growth, Elegant Alumni, and Elegant Circle. If you open an article that is not included in your program, you will see a short notice at the bottom explaining which learning programs provide access to it. Clicking the “Learn more” button will take you to a page that brings together all articles in the library, grouped by learning path.
It is for investors at every stage of their investing journey and for anyone interested in educational materials about finance. For example, someone just opening a brokerage account will find articles covering the basics, while someone who has been investing for years can explore topics in greater depth.
The library includes eight categories: First Steps for Elegant Investors, Insights into Global Markets, Investment Strategies, Psychology and Investing Mindset, Recommended Tools and Resources, AI Tools and Support, How Wealthy People Think and Operate, and the Elegant Investors Community.
An article usually explores one specific topic. At the top, you will find the publication date and the author's name. At the bottom, you'll find a list of sources used for the article, followed by tags that link to other articles on similar topics.
No. You will not find investment recommendations, buy signals, or guidance on specific companies. The articles explain how the market works and how to interpret companies' financial data, while the investment decision remains with the investor.
Any order you choose. One reader may go through the categories one by one and read everything they contain, while another may look for an article whenever a specific topic comes up, such as dividends or international markets.
Having an account lets you leave comments on articles, and once you are logged in, articles included in your learning program become available to you. You can read free articles without creating an account.
Yes. They focus on market mechanisms and ways of working with companies' financial data rather than current market events, so the same article can remain relevant for years to come.
Each article has its own list of sources selected for the topic. An article about financial ratios, for example, may draw on sources such as the CFA Institute, Investopedia, materials by Aswath Damodaran, and the IFRS Foundation. Information about the sources can be found at the end of every published article.
Looking for more than educational articles?
Reading can help you build knowledge, but sometimes it is easier to ask a question and discuss it with someone. Schedule a free, one-hour online meeting. During the meeting, we will point you toward articles related to your current interests. If you are looking for something more in-depth, we can also show you materials that take the subject further, such as investing courses or our proprietary tool for managing your investment process.
