ABOUT US

Better Investing Academy was not built by textbook investors or salesmen disguised as stock gurus. It was built by 3 real stock investors who lost money and endured the same market pain you did and learned how to win because of it.

Founders Derrick, Daniel and Eu Jin began as students and employees later at VI College. They also experienced the same confusion, misinformation and costly mistakes that crushed most investors.

When the 2022 market crash wiped out portfolios across the market, the real problem in the stock education industry became obvious. Investors lost money not because they did not buy expensive programs. They lost money because the theories taught in those 5-figure programs failed when tested under a real market crash.

When it mattered most, the promised support was nowhere to be found and students were abandoned. No guidance. No strategy. No leadership.

Derrick, Daniel and Eu Jin refused to accept what happened.

Over the next 1 year, they rebuilt their approach from the ground up and identified what truly works: disciplined stock selection, practical investing strategies and professional-level portfolio framework.

With a proven process in place, they created a stock investing community focused on delivering the very 3 things every investor truly wants: integrity, accountability and results.

Better Investing Academy was founded to develop investors who know how to allocate capital prudently into high-quality growth stocks, stay rational when others panic and compound wealth safely across every market cycle.

This is not a trading club. This is not a temple to worship mentors and gurus. This is an investing institution for serious investors to build wealth together.

That’s why through a strong community of highly experienced investors, hands-on daily coaching and rigorous stock analysis, our investors have achieved exceptional results with total portfolio gains of 50%, 100% and even over 200% over the past 3 years. Don’t believe us? See here.

If you want to follow a mentor or guru to receive daily stock tips, go elsewhere. If you want to get rich without putting in any time and effort, go elsewhere. But if you want to grow into a next-level investor and build wealth consistently, then Better Investing Academy is the right place for you.
