SimpleFinance is a free financial education website aimed at users in Italy, with a core focus on “investing in ETFs from scratch.” It is not a paid course platform in the traditional sense; instead, it combines beginner courses, a glossary, a PAC recurring-investment simulator, a FIRE calculator, broker comparisons, asset allocation content, and market data tools into a single web project. The site repeatedly states that it does not sell financial products or provide personalized investment advice, positioning itself more as a public-interest investor education and tools site.
Its learning path consists of 6 steps, covering foundational topics such as investment mindset, ETFs, PAC recurring investments, risk and volatility, diversification, and building a first portfolio. It also includes progress bars and mini quizzes. The teaching format is mainly self-paced reading on web pages plus interactive tools; there appear to be no live classes, recorded videos, 1-on-1 coaching, formal homework grading, or mentor support. The content is in Italian, written in an accessible style, and is suitable for users with no financial background.
The site clearly states that it is “100% free” and “does not sell anything”; both the courses and tools are free to use. Its monetization mainly comes from Amazon affiliate links for recommended books, where purchases may generate commissions for the site without increasing the cost to users. The project was created by Davide Sanfilippo, a 19-year-old economics student in Catania. The site also openly states that he is not a licensed financial advisor and is not registered with OCF. As a result, its strengths are simplicity, directness, and a lack of sales pressure, while its weaknesses are limited professional endorsement and service support.
Its advantages are a clear structure, beginner-friendly explanations, and the way it combines concepts such as ETFs, TER, compound interest, drawdowns, and asset allocation with simulators, helping learners quickly grasp the basic framework of long-term passive investing. The main drawback is that the content is heavily centered on Italian residents: brokers such as Trade Republic, Scalable Capital, DEGIRO, Directa, and Fineco, as well as Italian tax filing guidance, have limited relevance for Chinese users. In addition, there are no certificates or formal accreditation, and the market data is labeled for educational and indicative purposes only, making it unsuitable as a basis for trading decisions.
It is suitable for beginners who understand Italian and want to learn about ETFs and long-term recurring investments, especially those living in Italy and preparing to choose a locally available broker. Chinese users can refer to its framework if they are only learning the principles of passive investing; for account opening, taxation, and product selection, they should use locally compliant resources. The collected text does not provide information on access from mainland China or payment availability, and since the service itself is free, its actual accessibility can only be considered unknown.
