Rule #1 Investing is a U.S.-based financial education company that teaches long-term, value investing principles.

Rule #1 Investing’s methodology is centered on the Four M’s framework—Meaning, Moat, Management, and Margin of Safety—which guides learners through a repeatable process for analyzing companies and understanding valuation principles. These ideas are also reflected in Phil Town’s published work, including the Rule #1 book.Rule #1 Investing serves a global audience of beginner and experienced everyday investors who want clear, principles-based investing education delivered in plain English.

Rule one: Class is a great education, fast-paced, packed with a wealth of knowledge to help you on your way to becoming a successful investor. Coaches help you a lot because they were first-time students at one point in their careers.

The Rule #1 Workshop experience was quite informative, educational and transformative. So much valuable information was packed into the three days. With application I will be a better investor going forward in evaluating companies prior to investing. I am truly happy and thankful to have participated in the workshop and will continue my journey with the Rule #1 group; determined to learn/soak up all the strategies making me a successful investor/trader. It will take commitment and I am looking forward to the challenge.
