Public.com offers new experience for members to develop their investing skills
Public.com is adding a new experience for members looking to further develop their investing skills. Learn and Earn is a new hub in the Public.com app where you can complete courses on topics related to investing strategy and earn rewards for expanding your knowledge.
Each Learn and Earn course provides actionable learnings that can be applied to the way you build and manage your portfolio. Members can dig into topics from navigating market volatility to thematic investing and test their knowledge along the way through interactive quizzes. Upon completing a course, members can claim a free slice of a stock or ETF as a reward for leveling up.
Four courses are available at launch, with new content added regularly:
- Thematic Investing: Unpack the popular strategy of thematic investing and understand how investors assess the themes with the greatest potential to unlock future growth.
- Investing Amid Volatility: Understand historical market volatility in the markets and learn how investors employ index investing as part of your portfolio strategy.
- Modern Alternative Investing: Learn about the evolution of alternative investing as part of a diversified portfolio strategy, from arts and collectibles to digital assets like NFTs.
- Understanding Economic Data: Review key macroeconomic metrics, how to read the data, and understand how economic trends can impact your portfolio.
Public.com is launching Learn and Earn in partnership with iShares, one of the world’s largest ETF providers committed to meeting the evolving needs of investors.
“Our research shows that 30 million new self-directed investment accounts were opened in the U.S. since 2020 — surpassing the total from the prior decade. And as more investors get started, more are choosing ETFs. We are excited to work with Public.com to help empower and educate investors on the dynamics of ETFs through a tangible and interactive resource like Learn & Earn,” said Armando Senra, Head of iShares Americas at BlackRock.
