About
Hi, I'm Jaime.
I'm Jaime Sandoval Ricaño, a student and content creator passionate about finance, business, and entrepreneurship. Through TikTok and LinkedIn, I share financial news, educational content, and insights to make finance easier to understand, especially for young people.
My goal is to keep learning, share valuable knowledge, and help more people become interested in the world of finance.

What Smart Finance is
Markets and money, explained for young people, in English and Spanish. A home page with today’s pulse and one story explained, a markets section with delayed prices and a source chip on every number, ten short lessons with their sources, a glossary with examples in pesos, and a weekly newsletter. Free, with no account and no ads, built in public from Mexico.
Who I have learned from
Through my work in financial education and content creation, I have had the opportunity to speak with leading figures in the financial sector, including Margaret Franklin, CEO of CFA Institute; Jon Maier, Chief ETF Strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management; Moris Dieck, one of Mexico’s most prominent financial educators; Andy Toh, CEO of Bluesky Education; and many other industry professionals.

How I work
- Every lesson lists its sources at the bottom, with the date I checked them. When a number has no source, it is a worked example and it says so.
- Market data is delayed, and every surface says by how much and from whom. Nothing here is “live”.
- When AI helps, it is labeled: the “why it matters” of a story is drafted with Claude, and nothing reaches the site or the newsletter until I have read and approved it. The lessons are written by me.
- Mistakes get fixed in public. The methodology page keeps the changelog and explains where each number comes from.
- No ads, no affiliate links, no sponsors, no accounts. And none of this is financial advice.
