What is FundLand?

FundLand is a free iOS/iPadOS app that breaks financial literacy into 34 core lessons and 48 school-track lessons (28 value-investing, 20 index-investing). Each lesson includes quizzes; pass to unlock corresponding tools and seed capital. The market simulator covers 160+ instruments: HK stocks, US stocks, ETFs, REITs, bonds, crypto—quotes from real markets, fees and FX calculated. Users can form virtual investment firms, compete on leaderboards, join weekly challenges and daily quizzes. Gamified learning, but no stock tips or guaranteed returns.
