About Us

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.

Why we exist

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.

Meet the founder

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.

What we believe

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:

  • Invest where money is moving, not where it already went
  • Use research to stay ahead of the crowd, instead of reacting to it
  • Keep everything in plain English, so you never feel talked down to or talked over
  • Be honest about the risks, every single time

What we make

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.

Our motto is read less news, not more. We summarize the financial news that matters in 5 minutes or less, Sunday through Friday - and it's free for everyone, always.

Briefs Pro is our premium research membership for investors who want to stay ahead of market shifts.

Every week, our Briefs Research team spends 50+ hours digging through financial statements, pressure-testing opportunities, and tracking where the smart money is moving. Then we hand you the essence of it in a 10-minute report.

Inside Pro, you get:

  • Monthly deep-dive reports that discuss opportunities for growth investors, income investors, and investors who want to preserve their wealth.
  • Specific stock and cash-flow research backed by real analysis
  • Custom charts and graphs, so you can feel what's happening in the markets, not just read about it
  • A private community of thousands of fellow 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.

A quick note on what we're not

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.

Come read along

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.

Start with the free daily newsletter or see what's inside Briefs Pro.

What Is Wealth Preservation? How To Protect Your Money From Anything
  • Wealth preservation is an investing strategy built around keeping the money you've already made instead of chasing growth.
  • It leans on assets that hold steady when markets fall - gold, Treasury bonds, and companies that keep earning through wars, crashes, and pandemics.
  • The tradeoff is real: you give up some upside, and the two key numbers to check are maximum drawdown and correlation to the market.

Why Is Everything So Expensive? Why Prices May Never Come Back Down
  • Official inflation is 3.4% and prices are up 32% since 2020, but rent (41%), gas (47%), car insurance (64%) and ground beef (79%) all outran the 28% median wage.
  • The Federal Reserve targets 2% inflation on purpose. Rising prices push extra dollars to investors and shrink the real cost of a $40 trillion national debt.
  • Investors who simply owned the S&P 500 gained about 150% over the same six years, and the Fed's September 16 decision will show whether it protects the dollar or the economy first.

The U.S. Housing Market Just Flipped: Renting a Home Now Beats Buying One
  • The US is in a buyer's market in 41 of the 50 largest metro areas, but prices sit near record highs and mortgage rates are close to 7%.
  • The same median house costs 27% more than it did in 2021 while the monthly payment costs 90% more, and incomes rose a little more than 10%.
  • A 2008-style crash is not showing up in the data, so the pressure is landing on buyers instead of prices.

An Interest Rate Hike in 2026? The Fed Just Broke Its Own Script
  • The Federal Reserve spent a year signaling cheaper money, and its new chairman just warned that an interest rate hike may be coming instead.
  • The Fed is stuck between high inflation and a weak job market, and fixing one makes the other worse.
  • Higher rates also reprice roughly a third of America's $40 trillion national debt this year, which is why Washington wants cuts so badly.

5 Passive Income Ideas That Pay You Whether You Work or Not
  • School teaches one formula: work, earn, spend. Stop working and the money stops, so the wheel never ends.
  • Five assets pay you without your labor - dividends, rent, interest, royalties, and the things you already own.
  • $80,000 a year of cash flow takes about $1 million invested at 8%, or roughly 20 years of $1,000 a month.

The Best Way to Invest 10k: Three Options To Transform 10K into 10 Million
  • Passive investing in stocks or real estate targets around 10% a year, and time in the market matters more than the price you get in at.
  • Active investing means putting your time in alongside your money, which raises the target to roughly 20% a year and raises the risk of losing it all.
  • Investing in yourself has no ceiling, because a new skill can create a new income that no market return can match.

The Tax Write Offs the Rich Are Using in 2026 While the IRS Shrinks
  • The 2026 tax brackets landed lower than they were headed, and the standard deduction jumped from a planned $8,350 to $16,100 for single filers.
  • New write offs for overtime, tips, seniors and car loan interest are live now, and most of them are written to expire in 2028.
  • About a third of IRS auditors have been fired, and four assets do most of the work for people who want income without a matching tax bill.

America Is Running Out of Debt Buyers. Treasury Bills Are the Government's Fix
  • The government took in about $5 trillion in taxes in 2025 and spent about $7 trillion, and the national debt is now over $40 trillion.
  • Investors, banks, and foreign countries are all lending less to the U.S., so starting September 9 the government plans to sell more short-term treasury bills and use that cash to buy back its long-term debt.
  • Government interest rates set the floor for your mortgage, your car loan, and your credit card, and short-term Treasury ETFs like SGOV are one way investors are playing it.

How to Get the Most From Your Guideline 401k
  • Guideline is a company that provides low-cost 401k plans, popular with small businesses and their employees.
  • A "Guideline 401k" follows the same core rules as any 401k: tax-advantaged growth, contribution limits, and often an employer match.

  • Principal is one of many companies that manage workplace 401k plans, so a "Principal 401k" is simply a 401k where Principal is the provider.
