Khan Academy

Khan Academy was founded in 2008 by Salman Khan, a former hedge fund analyst turned educator. Initially created as a free platform to teach math and science, Khan Academy later expanded to include finance, economics, and investing as part of its mission to provide free education to anyone, anywhere.

The Finance & Capital Markets section offers easy-to-follow, video-based lessons covering stocks, bonds, risk, diversification, and economic principles. Unlike other financial education platforms, Khan Academy focuses on foundational knowledge rather than real-time market trends, making it a great starting point for beginners.

With its non-profit model and high-quality educational content, Khan Academy remains a trusted, accessible resource for learning financial concepts at no cost.
