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.
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:
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.

AMD made some big moves in 2025. In 2025, shares of AMD rose over 70%, outpacing the S&P 500 and even beating Nvidia's recent performance. Why? AMD has been quietly building infrastructure for the AI boom - and it may be paying off. But the question is - can this growth continue for AMD? Let’s […]
Picture this: You’re looking at two stocks to potentially buy. One is $20 - the other is $10. The one that is $20 is more expensive, but the price doesn’t tell you if it’s better. You could use traditional valuation metrics like the P/E ratio to help you value both stocks. But that only takes […]
What Is the Price to Book Ratio? Every stock has a price - but prices can be misleading. Supply and demand, number of shares, sentiment, and more, all can influence what a company’s share price will be. But whether a stock is $50 or $500, how do you know you’re getting a good deal? Investors […]
American banking is undergoing a generational shift. More customers are ditching legacy banks for digital-first platforms that eliminate fees and friction. At the center of this transformation sits SoFi Technologies (SOFI) - one of the most successful publicly traded neobanks in the U.S. SoFi trades on the Nasdaq, and the stock climbed around 80% in […]
You've heard it a thousand times: "Buy low, sell high." But what does "low" actually mean? And how do you know when you're getting a deal versus investing in a company in decline? This is where value investing comes in - and it's how Warren Buffett turned Berkshire Hathaway into a $900+ billion empire. Below […]
What is a Dividend Stock? All investors want one thing - to get paid back (with interest) for their investment. There’s lots of ways investors can make money - one of those ways is through cash flow. Dividend stocks offer investors regular income - companies pay investors quarterly (or sometimes monthly) with extra profits in […]
Picture this: You’re standing in front of a big board with hundreds of stock tickers. You see a couple you recognize - maybe Nvidia and AMD. Nvidia's stock price is $188 and AMD’s $223. You think to yourself, “wow, Nvidia is cheaper, it must be a better buy!” And while, in this example, Nvidia’s stock […]
What is an Index Fund? An index fund is an investment fund designed to match the performance of a specific stock market index. Think of it as buying a basket of stocks that mirrors what's in indexes like the S&P 500, the Dow Jones, or the NASDAQ 100. Here's what that means in practice: when […]
The U.S. is bringing defense manufacturing back home after decades of outsourcing. Around $1 trillion will be allocated to our nation’s military in 2026 - much of it to bolster our defense capabilities. That means new infrastructure will need to be built, but our military doesn’t build all of this alone. It hires contractors like […]
What Is Discounted Cash Flow? There are lots of different ways to value a stock - P/E ratio, market cap, dividend yield - to name a few. However, many of the most common valuation methods that investors use value a stock for what it’s worth right now, not what it could be worth in the […]
