Curriculum and sources

What FVeda teaches, and on whose authority.

FVeda writes its own lessons. Every one names the public authorities its subject is documented by, so a reader — or an institution deciding whether to put this in front of students — can check the material rather than take it on trust.

How the material is made

  • Written in-house. Lessons are FVeda’s own editorial writing, not licensed or syndicated content, and not a repackaged third-party course.
  • Primary sources preferred. Claims about securities, funds, order types, investor protection and crypto risk are written from regulators, official product documents and original market-data providers. Secondary sources give context and do not replace a primary source for a material claim.
  • Regulators and government bodies only. The citation list contains no broker, no fund manager, no media outlet and no sponsor. A broker’s education page can be accurate and still be marketing.
  • AI-assisted drafting, disclosed. AI tools help draft, test and find unclear language. They are not treated as an anonymous authority, and FVeda remains responsible for what appears here. The in-product coach is a separate interactive feature and is not editorially pre-reviewed.
  • Corrections published. Errors go to support@fveda.site with the URL and the disputed statement. Confirmed errors are corrected and the reviewed date updated.

What FVeda does not claim: this curriculum is not peer reviewed, not accredited, and not approved or endorsed by any university or regulator. Citing a regulator’s published guidance is not the same as that regulator endorsing FVeda, and nothing on this site should be read that way. It is general financial education, delivered with virtual money, and it does not recommend a security or replace professional advice.
