Learn more about Inspired Investor and the people who bring it to you.

What’s the secret to being good with money? It’s often as simple as knowing how to make the most of what you have. And the more you know, the more you can confidently map out your financial future – and take control of the present. That’s why we created Inspired Investor.

Backed by a team of creative individuals who draw on their deep journalism roots, Inspired Investor aims to inspire and motivate Canadians to make stronger financial decisions. Our goal is to share informative insights and personal stories, and to break down financial concepts in ways that are easy to understand and apply.

The Inspired Investor team powers a network of sites to support investors of all types – those who like to chart their own course, those who prefer some guidance and investors who want a mix of both. The team also supports the Investing Academy, which offers a wealth of investing insights and how-to resources for investors.
