Most Belgians are leaving thousands of euros on the table every single year. 

Why? 

Because they’re still stuck in savings accounts or paying high fees on underperforming bank funds. 

In this episode, I’m showing you how to take control of your financial future by investing in global low-cost index ETFs, in a simple and effective way.

It’s simple because all you really need is a couple of well selected index funds, and then you invest in them each month in just a few clicks, without the stress and work that trading and stock picking requires.

It’s effective, because it’s based on decades of academic research that proves that this approach provides better returns than actively managed funds sold by banks, while costing less in fees and taxes.

In fact, investing effectively is much simpler than what the industry wants you to believe.

And this is the approach I have used to build my 1 million € portfolio and reach financial independence at 33.

Which is why I am sharing the full process of how to invest in ETFs in Belgium in this episode/guide.

I also include a concrete example of a popular optimized portfolio for illustration. That way you have everything you need to get started with index investing with just this episode.
