We started Magnetex because too many people felt lost when it came to understanding the stock market. Not confused by complex terminology — just unsure where to begin. Our programs take you from complete beginner to confident investor through practical, straightforward instruction.
Based in Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island, we've helped thousands of Canadians gain the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their financial future. And we're not talking about day trading or getting rich quick. Just solid fundamentals.
Back in 2018, our founder noticed something odd. People were constantly asking for stock tips at dinner parties. Not because they wanted to gamble, but because they genuinely didn't understand how investing worked.
So we built a program that explained things in plain language. No jargon unless it was necessary. No get-rich-quick promises. Just real information about how markets function and how regular people can participate responsibly.
We focus on understanding rather than memorization. Here's what that means in practice.
Every concept gets illustrated with actual companies and real market situations. We analyze recent events and historical patterns so you see how theory applies to reality.
If you can read a basic financial statement, you're ready. We start with foundational concepts and build from there. Most students come in knowing almost nothing about investing.
Markets are unpredictable. We teach you how to make informed decisions, not how to predict the future. You'll learn risk management alongside investment strategies.
Students get lifetime access to updated materials. As markets change and new instruments emerge, we update our content and you get those updates at no additional cost.
We cap classes at 25 people so instructors can answer specific questions. Larger groups mean less individual attention, which defeats the purpose of live instruction.
Since we're based in Canada and serve Canadian students, we cover TFSA, RRSP, and other Canada-specific investment vehicles that affect how you should approach investing.
Our teaching team includes former financial advisors, chartered accountants, and long-time investors who genuinely enjoy explaining complex topics.
Liora spent twelve years as a portfolio analyst before switching to education. She specializes in helping students understand market indicators without getting overwhelmed by data. Her background in behavioral economics shows up in how she frames investment psychology.
After working in corporate finance for a major Canadian bank, Briony joined our team in 2020. She teaches our foundational courses and has a gift for breaking down financial statements so they make sense to people who've never looked at one before.
What started as weekend workshops has grown into comprehensive programs serving students across Canada.
Launched our first stock market basics workshop in Nanoose Bay with 12 students. The format was simple: two full days covering fundamental concepts with real examples.
Added online course options when travel restrictions made in-person sessions difficult. This actually opened up access to students across British Columbia and beyond.
Created advanced courses covering options basics, ETF selection strategies, and portfolio management after students kept asking what to study next.
Built an extensive collection of market analysis tools and educational materials that students can access anytime. This includes updated content reflecting current market conditions.
These aren't corporate values posted in a conference room. They're principles that show up in how we structure courses and interact with students.
We don't sell investment products or manage portfolios. We teach. That's it. No conflicts of interest.
Investing involves risk. Markets go down. We're upfront about this from day one rather than selling dreams.
Financial knowledge shouldn't require an economics degree. We explain concepts in language normal people use.
Markets change constantly. We update materials regularly so you're learning relevant information, not outdated strategies.
Our next beginner cohort starts in September 2025. Classes fill up fast, so if you're interested in learning how markets work, get in touch now.
