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 the Briefs Connector. 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.

The Federal Reserve is an independent agency from our government and sets monetary policy to control the flow of money throughout our economy. So the short answer? Kind of. Long answer? It's more complicated than that… When most people ask does the Fed print money, they picture a big machine spitting out $100 bills. That's […]
We live in a capitalist economy - that means the system is designed to benefit some more than others. It also means that most of us were taught everything wrong about money. The truth is: Money isn’t bad and having more of it does not make you evil. Money is a tool. It amplifies what […]
The Old Defense Playbook Is Broken For the last decade, if you wanted to invest in defense, the playbook was simple: go high-tech. These were the sexy picks - the ones making headlines at investor conferences and showing up in every "future of war" article. The companies making actual bullets, missiles, and bombs? They were […]
Most investors are watching AI stocks and interest rates. But a different kind of shift is forming - one that starts underground. Copper. It's in your smartphone, the power grid, data centers, and more. And according to the International Copper Study Group, the global copper market is on track for a 150,000-ton deficit in 2026. […]
Here’s the reality - being financially successful typically has nothing to do with how much you make. It’s more about the habits you have with money and how you manage your finances. Because someone who makes $100k a year, and manages their money poorly, ends up broke. But someone who makes $50k a year, and […]
Think of a company like a pie. (you can pick your favorite - like apple or pumpkin). When you invest in a public company, what you’re really doing is buying a share of ownership in that company. Companies often have millions or billions of shares of ownership - the more shares you own, the voting […]
A 10-Q is the quarterly report a US public company files with the SEC, and a 10-K is its annual report. The 10-Q covers each of the first three quarters with unaudited financial statements, while the 10-K covers the full year with audited ones and a much fuller picture of the business. Why it matters: […]
Where Does the Name "Blue Chip" Even Come From? Stock market terms can be confusing - but here’s something that’s straightforward: Blue-chips. No we’re not talking poker. We’re talking about the well established and stable stocks on wall street. These types of companies are known as blue chips. The term actually does come from poker. […]
Everyone's talking about AI - markets have been volatile as fears grow on a potential AI bubble. Regardless, businesses are spending on AI. Tech companies are expected to spend more on AI in 2026 than it took the U.S. to build the entire interstate highway system. Why? Demand. From businesses to consumers, everyone is using […]
