Traditional financial news and education have always been run by Wall Street suits.
At Briefs Finance, we ditched the suits but kept the Briefs.
We're a Detroit-based financial technology company powered by media on a simple mission: help regular people get better with their money. Not the folks who already have a guy on Wall Street. You.
Here's the uncomfortable truth most finance companies won't say: investing is hard, and most people lose money trying.
It's not because they aren't smart. It's because the whole system was built to feel confusing, intimidating, and expensive.
Wall Street firms charge $5,000 to $10,000+ to manage your money. It can be hard to keep up with financial news and stay informed.
We think there's a better way, and it starts with one idea:
When the economy shifts, money shifts.
Smart investors don't chase yesterday's winners. They figure out where money is moving next, and they get there before the crowd.
That takes research, not headlines. Research is exactly what we do.
Briefs Finance was started by Jaspreet Singh.
Jaspreet graduated from law school and then never worked a single day as an attorney.
Instead, he went all-in studying the most successful investors in the world, trying to reverse-engineer how they actually build wealth. He'll be the first to tell you his real edge was being willing to work hard, screw up a lot, and never give up.
What he learned became the foundation of everything we do. The goal hasn't changed since: democratize investing education and make it accessible for regular people - not just the people who can afford a private wealth manager.
Our philosophy is simple, and a little contrarian.
The person digging the gold out of the ground knows more about the industry than someone sitting on Wall Street.
In plain English: real research beats recycled news. Here's what that looks like for us:
Everything we build is designed to take you from "I have no idea where to start" to "I know exactly why I own what I own."
Market Briefs is our free daily newsletter, built for everyday investors.

Briefs Academy is our financial education platform.
It's a one-stop shop of Journeys (what we call our classes) covering building wealth, real estate investing, stock market investing, and more. Think of it as the course you wish someone handed you before you bought your first stock.
We're also building new tools to make research even easier, including the Briefs Terminal, Briefs Score, and Briefs AI. A few are still in beta, and we're just getting started.
We're a financial technology company powered by media, not a money management firm.
You can't invest in the Briefs Portfolio, and nothing we publish is personalized financial advice. Investing carries risk, and you should always talk to a licensed advisor about your specific situation.
We give you the research and the education, but the decisions are yours.
Our team of money nerds shows up every day to bring you the best financial news and research the only way we know how: from the comfort of our Briefs.
We built the company we wish existed when we were starting out. Now we want to share it with you.
So go ahead - put on your Briefs and read along with us.

Everyone knows AI needs chips. So far, all of the investment dollars have flowed into chip companies like Nvidia as the obvious play.

What Is Net Asset Value? When you buy a share of an ETF, you're not buying a single company. You're buying a slice of a basket of investments - stocks, bonds, cash, or other assets - all bundled together inside one fund. Net asset value, or NAV, is how you measure what that slice is […]
What Is Market Cap? There are a lot of ways that investors assess the value of a company. You can value a company's financials, its non-financials, or even use metrics like P/E ratio. But then there’s the most straightforward way to measure value: Market cap. Market cap - short for market capitalization - is the […]
You've heard people say "the market is up" or "the market crashed today." But what market are they actually talking about? Most of the time? They're talking about the S&P 500. It's one of the single most important numbers on Wall Street. Investors use it as a benchmark to see how the overall market is […]
Japan's Corporate Culture Is Flipping Upside Down For decades, Japanese companies prioritized executives and employees over shareholders. Lifetime employment, loyalty to long-term suppliers, and stable operations mattered more than maximizing profits for investors. What happened? Japanese markets have largely been overshadowed by U.S. markets. But now, corporate culture is changing in Japan and flipping returns […]
What Is AUM? Assets under management, or AUM, is how much money is in a fund. When you're researching an ETF, you need to know the fund's AUM. What you're really asking is: how much money is this fund moving around? This information has to be provided in the prospectus. Every ETF is legally required […]
Your credit card company is doing something remarkable. They're earning a 20% annual return on your money, year after year after year. And you're the one paying for it. The average American household carries $6,200 in credit card debt as of late 2025. If you invested that same $6,200 at age 21 and never added […]
Everyone knows AI sent chip makers to record highs. What most people don't know is that behind every data center running AI, there's a massive infrastructure problem that needs solving. In 2024 and 2025, AI sent Nvidia and other chip makers to record highs in a tech boom that Wall Street hasn't experienced in years. […]
