// STAK'S VALUE

Here's what STAK solves.

?

"I don't know how to start"

It's simple to start. Open a Brokerage account or Roth IRA on Fidelity (or book time with me to go through this), and plug in the portfolio you bought from STAK.

✕

"What if I pick the wrong thing"

A finance professional already picked for you. Each portfolio was built by Derek Napolitano, MBA, with research notes explaining why every security made the cut.

⏱

"I don't have time"

60 minutes, start to finish. Buy a guide, open a brokerage account, enter the tickers, set your allocations, and you're done. No ongoing maintenance required.

// ABOUT

The person behind STAK.

Derek Napolitano
Derek Napolitano
Founder, STAK

Everyone deserves to be invested.

I started STAK because I saw too many people keeping their money in savings accounts earning next to nothing. Not because they didn't want to invest, but because nobody helped them start. I'm here to help you with getting started.

Every portfolio I build is one I'd recommend to a friend. Every consultation should feel comfortable for you from start to finish.

// FAQ

Common questions.

You get a detailed PDF with a specific list of securities (stocks, ETFs, etc.), the exact allocation percentages for each, and step-by-step instructions for setting it up in your brokerage account. Think of it as a blueprint you can follow right away.

Nope. If you're brand new, the Account Setup & Guidance consultation is built for exactly that. I'll walk you through picking a platform, opening your account, and placing your first trades. You can also grab a portfolio guide first and book the setup session when you're ready.

No. The portfolio guides are educational resources with my personal stock picks and recommendations. Consultations are informational sessions where we discuss your questions and thoughts. I'm not a registered financial advisor, and nothing on this site is a substitute for personalized financial advice from a licensed professional.

All consultations are 60-minute sessions over Google Meet. After you book and pay, you'll receive a confirmation with a meeting link. Just show up with your questions and we'll work through them together.

That's exactly who this is for. The Foundation portfolio guide is built specifically for people who have never invested before. And if you want someone to walk you through the whole process, the Account Setup consultation covers everything from opening an account to making your first purchase.

Absolutely. Many people start with an Account Setup session, then come back later for a General or Crypto consultation as their questions evolve. Book as many as you need.
