Empower Yourself with Smart Investing & Trading - Mission and Philosophy
Trusted and Featured By
Give a person $100 today, and they'll spend it tomorrow. Teach them how to earn it, and watch their wealth grow for a lifetime.
— The Institute of Trading's mission, inspired by an old proverb.
Mission
We help busy people grow their money without giving up their life.
Our focus is on smart, long-term investing that works in just 1 hour a month - with the option to add trading if you want to take it further.
Founded in Amsterdam, The Institute of Trading & Investing (IoT) has guided students from over 120 countries to take control of their finances. Whether you’re a parent, professional, or entrepreneur, we give you clear, proven steps so your money works harder than you do.
We keep it practical. No hype, no guesswork. Just the tools, checklists, and strategies you need to build lasting wealth and true financial freedom.
Beyond our core investing programs, we give you personal guidance and ongoing support so you can sharpen your skills and stay on track.
You’ll be part of a community of driven people who want the same thing you do – lasting financial freedom.
Whether you want to grow your investments, learn how to manage your money with confidence, or add trading as a side skill, The Institute of Trading & Investing is here to guide you.
Our focus is simple – clear rules, proven systems, and tools you can actually use in real life.
Vision & Philosophy
We believe financial freedom should be simple – and possible for anyone.
Most people think investing takes hours a week. We’ve proven it can take as little as 60 minutes a month. Our method focuses on building a solid investment plan first, then adding trading skills only if they fit your goals and lifestyle.Our programs are designed for busy people.
You’ll get a clear, step-by-step plan, real examples, and ongoing support from people who’ve done it themselves. Everything we teach is based on results – not theory – so you can follow the plan with confidence.
We also focus on the mindset behind money.
Because building wealth isn’t just about numbers – it’s about staying calm, avoiding bad decisions, and keeping your plan on track no matter what’s happening in the markets.
