Nikolas Prehn is an economist and former investment banker. He worked in numerous finance niches, made his wealth, earned financial freedom, then left to teach ordinary people what the industry keeps to itself.
Felix Nikolas Prehn is the face behind the Felix and Friends YouTube channel, started in 2020. About 90% of his teaching is free.
Nikolas Prehn is not a registered financial advisor, and he's very clear about that. Everything he puts out is education, not financial advice.
“Managing money is a skill like any other. Would you learn to drive a car by going on the freeway and figuring it out?”

Nikolas Prehn thinks the situation would be different if the skill were simply taught.
Nikolas Prehn has spoken up for animal rescue for years. He's also fostered several dogs and cats, and his message never changes: adopt, don't shop.
Winston is his adopted golden retriever, who co-hosts the YouTube channel. Many review replies even go out signed: 'Felix and Winston.'
The investment frameworks he teaches did not come from a textbook. They came from his mentors: former Wall Street insiders, hedge fund managers, and bankers.
“There is no magic formula or miracle trade. The aim is to build a framework, develop discipline and learn how to make decisions with a clear head rather than emotions.”
