And that working through them is our best option...
Of course, that’s how THEY make money!
When I started, I didn’t know better and it cost me 12,000 euros over 4 years.
And when I realized, I was furious and outraged. Because everyone around me was falling for it, losing hundreds of thousands of euros to the industry.
The truth is that there is a simple and very effective way to benefit from the tremendous growth power of the stock market, unhindered by high fees or conflicts of interests : index investing
Index investing has literally changed my life, to the point where I don't have to rely on a job for income anymore.
As the community grows and the information is shared, everyday more and more people are benefiting from its power.
But it can be overwhelming at first, and it’s important to avoid some of the costly mistakes beginners often make…
The Index Investing Online Course is designed to get you started with index investing fast.
And without the confusion or overwhelm, thanks to my streamlined 4-step learning and investing system.

And you can set this up in only 6 weeks, following the 4-step learning and investing system in less than 2 hours per week.
Once it is in place you, can manage your investments in less than 5 minutes per month (the time needed to make a couple of transactions).
On average, index investing provides much better returns than what average investors get. This is illustrated on the following graph, built using investment returns data for average investors compared to the market, including the cost of investing.
Index investing far outperforms the average investor, with in this example a difference of 270 000 euros, the equivalent of 13 years of saving.
This is the cost of not knowing about index investing for the average Belgian saver.
Solid financial knowledge can save you hundreds of thousands of euros and turn into decades of freedom.
But it shouldn’t cost thousands of euros. I believe everyone deserve to get the returns they deserve so I decided to make my course available for only 697 euros.

I have helped hundreds of people get started with index investing. I am here to help you too.
To be completely honest, I don't really need to do this.
I am blessed to have discovered this knowledge and way of thinking early in my life and to have built an unique and amazing life with my wife.
We don't need to work.
We live from our balanced portfolio of index funds. And we've built our plan so that it is safe even in the case of the worst market crash of the history of financial markets.
I am not paying myself from this business right now, and I run it mostly in my spare time, when the kids are sleeping.
But when you don't need to work, you can ask questions such as "What will I do now? What gives me purpose and meaning?"
And to me, the answer has always involved having a positive impact around me. That is what has driven my choice of studies (sustainability and energy management) and my career, always seeking to scale my impact through my work.
And impact is what is driving me now.
I am doing this because I want to have an impact at multiple levels:
1. Index investing and personal finance
2. Index investing and the financial industry
3. Financial Independence
4. Effective Altruism
The impact index investing and financial independence have had on my life and on my family is hard to overstate. We benefit from full financial security, freedom and confidence.
And that is something invaluable that unlocks so many aspects of our lives.
And I want you to benefit from it too. Because it will change your life too. And the lives of the people around you.
The impact of index investing on a personal level is incredible and I want as many people as possible to benefit from it.
While financial education can have a tremendous impact on the lives of the people who can get it, to me that is just the beginning.
My personal experience with the financial industry and my experience helping people who have deeply hurt by it makes me furious. It's unjust and it has to change.
Financial education is the first step, but real change needs to take place at the system level, either bottom-up as I have started doing or top-down. I am hoping we can change the standards of the financial service industry so that everyone can benefit from the simple power of index investing.
And we really need to stop paying insane fees to financial sales people that add very little value to their clients.
Financial independence is a great goal to have, and it's also an amazing title for attracting people's attention. But financial independence, just like money, is just a tool. A tool to make our lives better and to make the lives of people around us better.
To me financial independence isn't only that far-away goal of not depending on a job income anymore. To me it is the journey that starts today. For every euro that you save and invest, it's a little more power that you gain over your own life. With every euro, you build a bit more security and freedom, with in turns allow you to be more in control and lets you be your real self.
Money and financial independence to me are also tools to make the world a better place.
I am hoping to build a movement of people seeking financial freedom and impact. I am hoping to find people who will join me in using their financial powers to help make the world a better place.
I write a lot about this on a separate blog called Impactivated.
My research around what to do to have greater impact has led me to discover another incredible movement: effective altruism.
Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement focused on answering one question: How can we best help others?
Our resources are limited, so we have to use them wisely. Effective altruism is the project of:
It is a movement that seeks to optimize for positive impact, using reason and evidence. Simply for the good of everyone. I invite you to explore.
I am as much a member of the effective altruism community a I am of the financial independence community.
In fact my ultimate ambitions lie within effective altruism, as that is where I will have the greatest impact.
My current work is simply a stepping stone towards that. I am building a community of financially aware people who know how to optimize their ressources for happiness and fulfillment. And part of that is impact.
I am also building a business that is committed to doing good. Through its services but also through its donation to high impact charities such as the Against Malaria Foundation (which one of the best options we have here from Belgium).
As such I have taken the Giving What We Can pledge and committed to donating at least 10% of any profit I make.
The rest goes back into developing the resources for the community and pays for the people in the team as well as the tools we use to run all this.
So that's my personal reward. Not a salary or pay, but a donation to a high impact charity that is doing extremely important work for people who need help the most.
The beauty of all this is that you don't need to buy into my personal values and commitment to charity, all you need to do is benefit from the work I do helping you getting started with index investing.
The positive impact you help me achieve is simply a bonus on top :-)

The course includes several modules delivered to you over a period of 6 weeks. Each modules includes short videos (usually 5-20 min long) which you can watch on demand.
It usually takes participants 6 to 8 weeks to go through the course and get started with their investments. But you have access to the course and the Q&A sessions for 1 full year. This is to ensure you actually take action and get started!
Most of what the course covers is timeless as it is designed to work in any market situation. But we update the course on regular basis when there are for examples significant changes in taxes, brokers or ETFs. Of course, you get notified when the updates take place.
Yes, please ask questions! That is why we have monthly Q&A sessions. You can submit your questions in advance and also ask questions on the day. We will record each session in case you miss it. I will also have access to the private community where you can benefit from my support and that of other index investors. We also have a library of Frequently Asked Questions which will grow over time and become a really good additional resource. We want ALL questions to be answered, even ones you think are stupid (they won't be, we love 'stupid' questions).
YES, we assume no prior knowledge. We will teach you everything you need to know, in a really clear and simply way, and help you when you get stuck. Anyone can learn to do this and benefit from the power of index investing.
Absolutely. We will show you how to invest in a simple and effective way that does not take your time away from your life. Much lower stress, much more efficiency, much more time. That is what index investing can do for you.
No, this course is educational and does not give specific investment instructions or advice. Instead we give you the tools and frameworks to take control, and make good decisions based on your personal situation. We are not financial advisors.
Many reasons. I am driven by impact and this is one area where I can have tremendous impact on people's lives, but also on society. Running this course gives me the financial ressources to hire people to help me do that at scale. And I am going beyond just this direct impact; I have taken the pledge of giving minimum 10% of profits to effective charities. I want my work to have the greatest impact possible and I believe effective altruism is a big part of the solution. This way I can have impact at 2 levels, even though I don't have to.
Yes of course, you can buy the course and then send us an email with your company details and we'll send you an invoice.
Join us!
