“I used to think I was doing the right thing: saving in my bank account, investing with my bank and via pension plans. I trusted the financial
system until I realized they were charging me high fees for poor results (I paid 25% of my portfolio in fees over only 4 years) . Learning to invest
completely changed my life. Now I share what I’ve learned so that you can take control of your future too.”

What Past Attendees Say:

I've attended the webinar as a total newbie to investing and I found it very informative, very detailed and in depth but at the same time very easy to understand for someone with no knowledge about investing or finance. I left the webinar with clarity and eagerness to start investing. Sébastien makes it real and down to earth, he's "one of us" who's walked the path before and now shares what he has learnt through his research and mistakes.

I just watched the workshop. I’ve been meaning to start investing in index funds for over a year. I have been reading about it, watching some of your videos but then I kept procrastinating and never actually started it. Thanks to your workshop I am changing that now.
- Julia H.
Waw - crazy how informative the workshop was and glad I've followed along! And it’s really nice you're taking the éxtra time to answer my questions in person; highly appreciated!!! Thank you for sharing your story and showing Belgians that we are able to do something different than what was explained by our parents.
- Arne V.
The biggest take-away for me is that investing can be a piece of cake and is accessible to all wallets. I used to think that to make loads of money you already needed to possess a fortune, but that is not necessarily true. In fact, what matters in index investing, is that you start early.
- Belle Rosa
Sébastien, I'm so hooked on your workshop. It is so easy to understand. It feels like opening pandora's Box :) Love it! Thank you so much for what you do.
- Sophie D.
Anyone earning an income would benefit from this training. I've been talking to my nieces and nephews who are still students but are earning an income through student jobs. The sooner you start, the better :-)
- Gaella
Sébastien, thank you for this workshop! Very clear. I’ve learned more this afternoon about the topic than I did in a decade.
- Els B.
I just watched the workshop and realized how expensive my bank funds are! It’s a real eyeopener! Thanks a lot for the treasure of knowledge! Thank you Sébastien
- Ken A.
Thank you for the great workshop. I have quit my job as an investment advisor with BNP Paribas Fortis because the moral price I was paying for selling products which I knew were inferior to passive indexing strategies became soul crushing. Keep on doing what you do!
- T. B. (prefers staying anonymous)
It is very easy to find US-based information about index investing, but thanks to your workshop and your work I now have the correct information for Belgium.
- Sylvie S.
I am really lucky to have stumbled upon your podcast and workshop! Once I learn the know-how of index investing, I plan on transferring the money from my Argenta fund into index funds.
- Hendrik E.
Interesting workshop on index investing, thanks! Although there is a plethora of people, theories, books etc all appealing to a life with less financial stress and promising higher profits, here I finally have the feeling that there is an actual good reason to give this a closer look. Thank you!

Why this is Different?

  • Index investing is backed by over 50 years of academic research and industry papers (and I provide the links throughout the workshop)
  • The workshop and the investment approach are optimized for busy professionals living and paying taxes in Belgium
  • I’m not a financial professional, so I don’t have the common biases of people trained by the financial industry
  • I’m an engineer, and I’ve optimized everything so that it’s practical, performant and requires as little time as possible
  • This is not a hype-based investing approach, it’s a time-tested strategy that you can keep for your entire life
  • Yes, there is a paid program offered in the workshop, but no it’s not the only way to learn, and I won’t force anyone to join. I’m only telling you what the options are, so you can make the best decision for your own situation.
