Build Real Investment Skills That Actually Work

Starting in October 2025, we're running a program that walks you through investing from scratch. Not theory. Not fluff. Just practical methods that people in Belgium are using right now to grow their money.

We made this because so many people told us they wanted to invest but didn't know where to start. And honestly? Most programs throw jargon at you and expect you to figure it out.

This one's different. You'll learn step by step, at your own pace, with real examples from the Belgian market.

Investment learning environment with practical tools and resources

What You'll Actually Learn

We broke the program into five parts. Each one builds on the last, so by the end you'll have a complete picture of how investing works and what moves to make next.

Foundation: Understanding Money and Risk

Before you put a single euro anywhere, you need to understand what you're actually doing with it. We start with how money grows over time, what risk really means, and why some investments work better for certain goals.

You'll look at your own financial situation and figure out what makes sense for you. Not someone else. You.

4 weeks, self-paced

Practical worksheets included

Belgian Market Basics

Here's where it gets specific. Belgium has its own tax rules, investment accounts, and market quirks. We walk through all of it so you're not confused when you see terms like TOB or need to choose between account types.

We also cover which Belgian banks and platforms people actually use, and what to watch out for with fees.

3 weeks of local focus

Tax considerations explained

Building Your First Portfolio

This is where you stop reading and start doing. We help you pick investments that match your goals and risk comfort. Stocks, bonds, funds—whatever fits.

You'll create a simple portfolio and understand exactly why each piece is in there. No guessing.

5 weeks with real examples

Portfolio review included

Managing and Adjusting Over Time

Investing isn't a set-it-and-forget-it thing. Markets change. Your life changes. We show you how to check in on your investments, when to adjust, and when to leave things alone.

You'll also learn how to handle those moments when the market drops and your stomach drops with it.

4 weeks of management skills

Scenario practice sessions

Advanced Strategies and Next Steps

Once you've got the basics down, we introduce more sophisticated approaches. Real estate investment trusts, dividend strategies, long-term planning for retirement.

By the end, you'll know how to keep learning and growing your skills on your own.

People Who've Been Through It

We asked some past participants what changed for them. Here's what they said about where they started and where they ended up.

Maarten Verbeke

Participated Autumn 2024

"I'd been putting money in a savings account for years. Watched it sit there earning basically nothing. Knew I should do something but felt overwhelmed every time I looked into investing."

What Changed

Started with small amounts in index funds. Now has a diversified portfolio and actually understands what he owns. Checks it monthly instead of obsessing daily.

6 months investing

4 asset types

Lies Aertsen

Participated Winter 2024

"The Belgian tax stuff confused me completely. I kept reading articles but couldn't figure out which rules applied to me. Almost gave up on the whole idea."

What Changed

Finally understood the difference between account types and tax treatments. Set up the right accounts and feels confident making decisions without second-guessing herself constantly.

3 accounts set up

Joren Claeys

Participated Spring 2024

"Had some money invested already but honestly didn't know why I picked what I picked. Someone told me it was good. That bothered me."

What Changed

Rebuilt his portfolio from scratch based on actual strategy. Can explain every investment choice now. Helped his sister start investing too because he finally understood it well enough to teach.
