Level

Course emphasis
The course connects MPT concepts to practical portfolio work: return and risk, diversification, holdings, turnover, constraints, visualization, and computational implementation.
Firm enrollment and callback request
Firms that currently issue ETFs, or are actively issuing ETFs, may enroll firm members at $10 per person, including the $7.50 FINRA filing fee.
This arrangement requires direct communication with 5thN Financial and includes an additional education component delivered at the firm’s home office. The goal is to connect the course material directly to ETF construction, portfolio methodology, implementation language, and internal team communication.
Individual advisor signup
Individual advisors may enroll directly through the 5thN Financial education portal.
Registration notes
Creating an account does not require payment. Payment is requested when entering the course. Refunds may be requested until the final exam is opened.
