The 2020–2021 period runs November to November, not a calendar year. The source does not provide full calculation methodology, holdings, weightings, or treatment of dividends, currency, fees and taxes alongside these figures. The 2022 result was a 0% return, as documented in public YouTube videos, during a year in which the S&P 500 fell by more than 20% from its peak.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Clarity before commitment.

Practical answers about access, mentoring, continuity and risk—so you know what the programme is, and what it is not.

Is GIP a managed investment service?

No. GIP provides education, research and software. You retain control of your account and make your own investment decisions. Programme mentoring is educational, not personalised investment advice.

Do I need to be an experienced investor?

The lesson library includes foundations as well as more advanced material. You need a willingness to learn and take responsibility for your decisions. Speak to the team about your experience and what the programme involves.

Can this help me understand my SIPP or ISA?

The education covers investing concepts relevant to self-directed portfolios, including those held within SIPPs and ISAs. Account rules, available investments and charges depend on your provider. Pension transfers and tax decisions may require regulated professional advice.

What does membership cost?

Request the current programme information and commercial terms from the team. The final amount payable is confirmed before enrolment.

Are returns guaranteed?

No. Markets fall as well as rise. Research, historical performance and model portfolios cannot guarantee future results. The programme aims to improve your understanding and process; losses remain possible.

What happens on the introductory call?

You can explain what you want to learn, ask how the programme works and discuss membership with Paresh. The call is an opportunity to understand the service before deciding whether to join.

What if something happens to Alpesh Patel?

The programme includes its learning library, research tools and support from the wider team, as well as access to Alpesh. If continuity is important to your decision, ask the team to explain the current arrangements before you join.

When does the programme start and finish?

You can begin after enrolment and work through the core education at your own pace. There is no fixed end date: the programme is designed for continuing use, with ongoing commentary, updates and events.

How long do I have access to the programme?

Membership is sold with lifetime access to the programme and its continuing resources, subject to the enrolment terms. Ask the team for the current terms in writing before payment.

What if I am unhappy with the programme?

The published enrolment terms currently state a seven-day refund period. Please check the current refund terms on the original enrolment page before paying, and contact the team promptly if you have a concern.

How do you mentor?

Mentoring combines calls with Alpesh, support from the team and opportunities to bring questions as you use the research, tools and lessons. It is designed to help you understand and apply the process; it is not personalised financial advice.

How will you help me save time and find stocks to suit me?

The Approved List, ratings, filters and model portfolios provide a more focused starting point than researching the whole market unaided. Alpesh and the team help you understand how to use them, while you decide what is appropriate for your own objectives and risk tolerance.

What kind of returns can I expect?

No particular return can be promised or expected. The published examples show what happened in selected historical periods, not what will happen next. Markets can fall, losses are possible and your result will depend on your own decisions, timing, costs and circumstances.
