In this YouTube short, Alpesh B Patel OBE explains how he freely shares investing knowledge through webinars, funded indirectly by the investors in his hedge fund. He likens this model to private school funding for public education, noting that the 1% of program participants cover the costs. Patel emphasizes the importance of teaching children, especially his 8‑year‑old son, about investing alongside core subjects like maths and English, and stresses the need to instill confidence, character, and kindness. He shares personal motivation—retirement and financial independence allow him to give away knowledge at no cost. Patel also name‑drops several prominent tech leaders (Jensen Huang, Satya Nadella, CEOs of Broadcom, Micron, Dovar, and Larry Ellison of Oracle) as examples of successful investments and connections, underscoring the value of investing knowledge. He concludes with a call to action, inviting viewers to email him for further engagement.

do get in touch, do email me. It is very nice. I'm very fortunate because giving knowledge is— it doesn't cost me anything to give knowledge, okay? To give all this knowledge. And the 1% of people who are on the program pay for— so it's a bit like the state, the private school people pay for the state education, basically, is one way I'd put it. The people who are investors in my hedge fund, they don't realize it, but they're paying for this, me doing these. Why can I do this? Because I can retire and don't need to, and do free webinars. So it— I'm very fortunate, very fortunate that knowledge— they say knowledge and education is— this is the thing to teach kids, is investing. And my son, I told him today, I said, we're gonna have to do some more videos because people love it when my son talks about— he's 8— talks about investing. He plays with his bike and he's a normal kid, and I'm not trying to make him into a stock market weirdo, but it's an education. I've got to look, as a parent, I've got to teach him maths and English, but I think I've got to teach him things like confidence and having a decent character and being kind. Well, Mom teaches him kindness and the school teaches him kindness, but also, but I've got to teach him how to invest because it clones you. And I've got Jensen Huang working for me. I've got Satya Nadella working for me and it's phenomenal. I'd never have those people working for me if I didn't know how to invest. I've got the CEO of Broadcom working for me and of Micron and Dovar. I've got Larry Ellison, Oracle.
