What People Are Saying About the Course
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you selling financial management services?
No, we are not trying to sell you financial management services or convince you to not work with a financial professional. Instead, we’re educating you (through our course and community) on how to ask the right questions, how to understand how your investments are performing, and how to know what it’s costing you.
Can you help me pick an investment?
We will not recommend investments, financial products, or financial professionals. We will not tell you how to invest your money. Instead, we’ll help you understand what’s right for you, so you can make the best investment decisions.
Where do the concepts within this course come from?
Our founder, Fred Martin, has been in the investment industry for nearly 50 years and has managed funds worth billions of dollars. His impact within the investment community is uncanny, and the lessons he’s implemented with his clients are the lessons we’re leaving you with this course. They’re proven, billions of dollars over.
Why are you a non-profit?
The goal of Objective Measure, and all of its efforts, is to change people’s relationship with money. This brand, its tools, and even those involved aren’t in this to make money. The goal is to leave behind a legacy of education, behavior change, and accessibility around the notion of finance.
