Veriston Investment was founded by Joseph Pierce in 2013 as a professional institution dedicated to future-oriented financial education and financial technology innovation. Over the past decade-plus, we have served participants from multiple countries and regions, ranging from early-stage individual investors to seasoned professionals seeking to elevate their knowledge frameworks and execution capabilities.Today, Veriston Investment has evolved into a comprehensive platform that combines profound educational heritage with robust technological strength. Centered on the philosophy of “future-oriented financial education,” our curriculum covers a broad spectrum of asset classes—including stocks, bonds, forex, funds, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. The program is structured progressively and interconnected, spanning financial foundations, market structure, asset allocation, risk management, and the practical application of quantitative and intelligent trading systems.We do not offer fragmented investment techniques; instead, we focus on helping every participant build a complete, repeatable investment thinking framework capable of enduring across diverse market cycles. Embracing a dual-engine strategy of education and technology, we have independently developed the AQX MetaQuant System (AQX.AI), an intelligent trading platform that integrates advanced quantitative research with artificial intelligence algorithms to enhance information processing, risk assessment, and strategy formulation.Veriston Investment upholds the core values of integrity, professionalism, and deep respect for risk. We are committed to serving as a long-term partner, supporting our participants in continuous growth through multiple market cycles, rather than chasing short-term gains.
When Joseph Pierce founded Veriston Investment, he was driven by a simple yet profound belief: in a financial market full of uncertainty, emotional dominance, and high risk, how can investors build truly sustainable capabilities instead of relying on luck, short-term judgments, or fleeting market trends? From this core question, we began the journey to transform complex financial logic into a systematic, replicable, and cycle-resilient system of knowledge and methods..
We believe true financial education goes beyond techniques — it equips learners with an understanding of market fundamentals, clear decision logic, and strong risk awareness to achieve long-term capital preservation and consistent performance.
We reject quick fixes and speculation, focusing instead on building a complete, repeatable investment thinking framework that enables every participant to remain rational, disciplined, and competitive across all market cycles.
Since its establishment by Joseph Pierce in 2013, Veriston Investment initially focused on providing systematic financial education to individual investors. As global financial markets grew more complex and participant needs evolved, we gradually transformed from a single teaching platform into a comprehensive ecosystem integrating education, research, and financial technology. Over the past twelve years, our audience has expanded from early-stage retail investors to seasoned professionals across multiple countries. Our curriculum has been continuously refined, incorporating real-market case studies and cutting-edge quantitative methods. In the early 2020s, we independently developed the AQX MetaQuant System (AQX.AI), marking a deep integration of education and technology. Today, Veriston remains one of the few institutions worldwide that consistently prioritizes “long-term framework-driven” education over short-term tactical approaches, having guided participants through multiple full market cycles.
The core driving force has always been the original question posed by founder Joseph Pierce: In a highly uncertain and emotionally driven market, how can investors build truly sustainable capabilities that no longer rely on luck or short-term judgment? This question has guided us to reject quick-fix models and maintain a steadfast commitment to framework-first, cycle-resilient education. As market conditions changed, we expanded asset class coverage, deepened risk management instruction, and integrated artificial intelligence into the decision-making process. Regardless of external shifts, we have never deviated from the fundamental principle that “knowledge must be transformed into repeatable execution power.” This internal consistency has allowed Veriston to maintain a distinctive position in the industry, becoming a trusted long-term partner for participants across diverse market cycles.
Our core values can be summarized in three pillars: integrity, professionalism, and respect for risk. We uphold transparent teaching without concealing the true difficulty of markets; we base our programs on an international team of instructors with real-world experience to ensure the highest level of professionalism; and most importantly, we place “respect for risk” at the forefront, considering any education that ignores drawdowns, volatility, and cognitive biases to be irresponsible. We refuse to sell illusions or short-term get-rich narratives, instead adopting a long-term orientation and committing to accompany participants through complete market cycles to build capability rather than reliance on luck. These values are not merely institutional principles—they form the foundation for participant selection, curriculum design, and technology development.
Veriston Investment’s commitment is to serve as a genuine long-term partner to our participants, not merely a one-time service provider. We commit to: never attracting traffic through short-term performance or market hype; delivering systematic frameworks that withstand the test of time; reminding participants of discipline during bull markets and supporting confidence rebuilding during bear markets. We do not pursue rapid scale or high short-term returns. Instead, we aim to witness each participant’s journey—from “following the market” to “mastering the market”—over ten or twenty years. This commitment is reflected in lifetime curriculum access, regular content updates, and our unwavering responsibility toward every individual participant.
Our teaching methodology is centered on “knowledge-practice unity” and “real-market orientation,” distinguishing us from institutions that remain at the level of theory or simulation. We always begin with the harsh realities of actual markets—explaining in detail the psychological and capital impacts of volatility, consecutive drawdowns, and black swan events. We place particular emphasis on “soft skills” that determine long-term survival: emotional regulation, correction of cognitive biases, and strict capital discipline. At the same time, we integrate the AQX.AI intelligent system as a practical tool, enabling participants to directly apply quantitative models and AI-driven risk assessments within the curriculum. This approach ensures that what learners acquire is not merely “knowing what should be done,” but the genuine ability to “actually do it under pressure.”
Techniques are often condition-specific and prone to obsolescence or failure across different environments, whereas a framework represents a structured understanding of the underlying logic of markets, offering universal applicability across assets and cycles. We believe the essence of financial markets lies in probability and human behavior—any single technique is insufficient to address infinite variations. Only by constructing a complete investment thinking framework—including market structure comprehension, probabilistic reasoning, risk prioritization, and execution discipline—can investors maintain consistency and competitiveness in any environment. This is why our curriculum, from foundational to advanced levels, consistently revolves around framework construction rather than accumulating isolated tactics. While this approach requires more time to master, it delivers genuine, enduring investment advantages.
