The path is primarily for ages 13–18 and adult beginners. Younger children can learn alongside a parent or teacher. Levels describe prior knowledge, not a guarantee of suitability for every age.

Learn together: choose one concept, read the example and ask the learner to explain it in their own words. Do not ask children for household income, bank documents or account numbers. Use invented figures.

All simulation money is virtual. There are no real-money deposits or withdrawals. Historical data is not a forecast or return guarantee; a practice profit does not prove a decision was sound.

Public guides and tools work without an account. Accounts save progress and answers; users under 18 require parental email consent. Consent relies on email access and a declaration, not identity-document verification.

Free virtual-money investment simulator

Explore how a portfolio changes over time without depositing real money. Choose assets, practise buying and selling, and check cash, portfolio value and gains or losses over a historical period. For example, a rising share price increases the value of a holding, but does not increase available cash until you sell. Results do not predict future returns. Try guest mode; an account lets you save personal progress.
