I have taken the 2 offerings on Substack, Premium and Founder’s Club, and rolled them into 1 and can now offer it to you for the price of just Premium.
Here’s is what you get in the new Astute Investor’s Calculus Inner Circle:
- All 4 of our portfolios: Small Cap Value, Dividend Fortress, Dynamic Core Hedge and Rapid Wealth Compounder
- Research and portfolio allocations using my personal live portfolios. Yes, I have my own money invested in these 4 portfolios. You will know which stocks to buy, what price to pay, and how much of the stock to buy. You will also know when to sell and take profit.
- 1 year membership with no auto renewals. You told me that you do not enjoy auto-renewals. Therefore, now you purchase the membership for 1 year. Before it ends, I will send you an email and if you wish to extend it, you can go ahead and buy for 1 more year. I am keeping it simple for everyone.
- Other benefits I cannot really offer to you through Substack but I can now offer to you through my own website. These include complimentary copies of all my future books, first access and introductory pricing on all future investment courses, and other exclusive products for Inner Circle members only.
- You always have direct email access to me for any questions at any time of the day as long as you are a member.

As you can see, in addition to the content, you will have access to exclusive Products and Discounts. These will be offered to you as I add them to the website.
Let me answer a few questions that I am sure will come up.
- Does this replace my Substack Paid membership offerings, Premium and Founder’s Club? – No it does not. This is being offered in parallel to Substack. You have a choice of where you wish to purchase. As you can see, the Inner Circle offers you everything that the Founder’s Club offers you on Substack, but at 40% less annual investment. All research I publish will be published on both places, this website and on Substack.
- Why do you need to build this when Substack exists? – Substack is convenient and quick to set up. For the readers it is easy to keep track of all the newsletters you subscribed to through the Substack app. However, this ease of use comes with other costs. I am constrained by the benefits I can offer you, and I can only offer you a monthly or annual subscription – other possibilities exist but are frowned upon by Substack. And I have also heard stories about publishers losing access to their accounts or losing their subscribers due to a system glitch. On the website I have better control over data backups and security.
- How are the payments handled? – Both Substack and the Inner Circle (and all the products on this website) use Stripe for payment processing. Your information is safe and you have the same levels of security.
- I am already a paid member on Substack but I would like to move to the Inner Circle – Email me at shailesh@astuteinvestorscalculus.com with details and I will set up your Inner Circle account. We will keep your Substack account active until your current subscription period runs out.
- I am not yet a paid member. Which membership shall I get? – It is definitely your choice. Substack is convenient but I may deprioritize it over time. Inner Circle gives you significantly more benefits for significantly less cost, so that should be a consideration as well.
I have a favor to ask you!
I have tested the Inner Circle setup extensively and everything is working well. But I do want your feedback. Please let me know if you see something that is not just right and can be improved and I will take it into account when updating the service.
Thank you and see you in the Inner Circle!
Shailesh Kumar.
