Instructor Details

Harry Vadalkar

I am a CFA charter holder, MBA, CSC- Financial Educator | FinTech Strategist | Retired Fintech Founder  | Author of The Wealthy Canadian | Harvard and MIT certified

I retired as a fintech founder, and lifelong student of the money game.

I started my financial journey in 2010 with a bag full of ambition and a love for spreadsheets. I taught myself how to invest, bought Bitcoin at $113, and slowly built a diversified portfolio blending rental real estate, ETFs, and tech stocks.

After exiting my fintech startup (yes, I escaped the startup sauna with my sanity intact), I found my calling in financial education. Today, I teach at SAIT and Mount Royal University, help design Canada’s first FinTech BBA major, and mentor thousands of students around the world through Udemy.

What I Bring to You: With over 25,000+ students on Udemy and a background that blends finance, education, and technology, I teach what traditional textbooks don’t: how to make smart financial decisions using humor, real-life stories, and practical tools.

Because person in the video is excellent teacher . He explains complicated things in very easy manner

By Muhammad Ali Shah on 4/21/2026

I didn’t read the book for IFIC with CSI, just listened to and studied all the lectures of Harry again and again and read the student notes of this course here on udemy. I had no prior knowledge of Mutual Funds, but still managed to pass the exam with CSI in the first sitting with a high mark. Thank you very much Harry.

By Syed Hamza Haroon on 3/2/2026

I passed the exam by following Harry’s videos and combining them with my own study strategy. I’m not a big fan of reading the entire textbook, so I watched his videos while keeping the relevant chapter open on another screen and taking notes alongside. After completing each chapter, I practiced the review questions from the book. While I also tried the practice questions from Harry’s other question bank course, I found the exam-style questions the most helpful—especially the IFC Check questions and the detailed feedback provided with them. Harry’s videos are very clear and easy to follow. My only suggestion would be for him to develop a question bank that closely mirrors the actual exam format, similar to IFC Check, as it would greatly help students practice real exam-style questions. Regarding the exam itself, it isn’t overly difficult, but if you haven’t studied properly, it can be challenging to pass and score above 60. Practicing the IFC Check mock exams was the most effective part of my preparation and helped me successfully clear the exam after using his videos to understand the concepts.

I would like to thank Harry for this wonderful course. I passed the IFC exam thanks to his clear and structured explanations of all the core concepts required to succeed. He makes complex topics easy to understand. My advice to future students is to focus on truly understanding the concepts first and then reinforce them with practice quizzes. This course exceeded my expectations!

By Mohammad on 12/21/2025

Excellent IFC Course – Clear, Practical, and Very Effective I took the Investment Funds in Canada (IFC) course with Harry Vadalkar, and it was honestly an amazing experience. The course was extremely well-structured, clear, and practical, making even complex concepts easy to understand. Harry explains topics in a very simple, logical, and exam-focused way, which helped me not only understand the material but also feel confident applying it for the exam and in real-life scenarios. The examples, explanations, and flow of the lessons were spot on. This course saved me a lot of time and removed a lot of confusion I had from studying on my own. I highly recommend this course to anyone preparing for the IFC exam, whether you’re new to the industry or already have experience. Thank you, Harry, for such a helpful and high-quality course!

i had completed a college diploma in Business managemnt which exposed me to business finance money matters as my core education was an electrical engineer and was a math lover while moving to be self sufficient looking independance had decided to work independently in financial market utilizing my own savings and exploring other available options

By Arju on 12/6/2024

While the explanation provided is good, I am disappointed that, despite paying the full amount, the complete material is not available on the same platform. It is unreasonable to ask students to purchase a subscription to another platform for access to the full content. Additionally, I noticed that a few chapters seem to be missing here. It feels so disconnected after studying a few chapters.

By James Ogbonnaya on 2/3/2024

Easy to understand with suitable examples to make the learner understand better. I am beginning to love the course. I hope other chapters will be as easy as this chapter.

By Amy Bigelow on 2/9/2023

moves fast across some topics, some of the explanations are vague and the use of excel for mathematical explanation of course is easy but we are expected to use a financial calculator would be much more benifical to use that device we are expected to use. transcript is not of great help as a lot of typos same with CC. Somewhat helpful but I found I still needed to utilize other resources

By Sumit Kumar on 1/18/2023

Thanks for your such wonderful useful videos. It made whole course coverage so easy. Thanks for your efforts.
