The story behind Stoic Money
My name is Vittorio Rigato and I am the Investing Coach behind Stoic Money.
At 18 years old, I found myself in a quite unique situation: my parents, after trusting a financial advisor from 1995 to 2015, decided to take the matter of growing their money into their own hands.
Why? Because in 20 years of management, their 7-figures portfolio... Did not grow of €1.
This means that, if you account for inflation in those 20 years, they lost half of their money.
The same money that they would need to experience a comfortable retirement.
The desire to help my family moved me to learn about investing.
I did my fair share of experiences to become a confident investor: I have a Master Degree from Frankfurt of Finance & Management, and I studied finance at London Business School and Harvard Business School.
After my graduation, I worked few years in the fintech industry in Frankfurt am Main, the financial heart of Europe.
Here I was managing daily portfolios of €100 Millions and more.
In the meantime, I was learning constantly about investing to help my parents safeguard their retirement and create generational wealth.
And let me be honest... It was a painful experience.
I jumped from video course, to book, to youtube videos.
Learning on my own has been overwhelming.
The more I searched for answers, the more questions I had.
That's where I realized the importance of customized guidance: someone to talk to that does not have conflicts of interest and you can trust.
And so in 2021 I founded Stoic Money with a single purpose: empower normal people to get in control of their finances and carve their own path towards Financial Freedom with an ultra-customized approach!

Our Mission
The traditional education system failed us.
No one taught us how to manage our finances, make the right investment choices and build generational wealth for our family.
Instead, they taught us the safe path to get a job, get in debt for decades, and be locked in a cycle of work, pay your bills and repeat for 40 years.
After all, it’s not in the interest of society to teach you how to become financially free.
It’s much better to keep you chained to your job and be a productive member of society until you are 70 years old.
However, just because society did not teach you how to these things, it’s not an excuse to just accept your fate and passively endure the rat race for all your life.
Â
You cannot control everything that happens to you, but you can control how you react to the events
The philosophy of Stoicism teaches us to take responsibility for our own happiness.
No one is coming to save you: YOU are the only person who wants the best for your money and your future.
No financial advisor or bank will have your best interest and instead will always take advantage of your lack of knowledge.
Â
It’s your responsibility to develop the skills to create the financial future you want for yourself and your family.
You don’t have to follow the path written by society of working until retirement age.
There is an alternative for a more fulfilling life.
Â
Our Mission is to provide people with the best financial education to unlock a safer and more rewarding future.
We have a Vision for a more meritocratic world, in which anyone with a strong motivation can achieve Financial Freedom, no matter their background or starting point.
And if you have that motivation, we are going to provide you with everything else you need to succeed.
So stop enduring an unjust life or accepting that this is what is written for your destiny.
Embrace a better version of yourself and get back in control of your life.
