Core Learning Modules
Each module builds on previous concepts, but we don't rush through material. You'll spend enough time with each topic to actually understand what you're doing – not just memorizing formulas.
Financial Statement Analysis
You'll learn to read balance sheets and income statements without getting lost in the numbers. We focus on spotting trends that matter for investment decisions rather than accounting theory.
Market Valuation Methods
Different assets require different approaches. This module covers practical valuation techniques for equities, bonds, and alternative investments used in European markets.
Risk Assessment Frameworks
Understanding potential downside is just as important as identifying opportunities. We cover systematic approaches to evaluating investment risk in various market conditions.
Portfolio Construction
Building a balanced portfolio involves more than diversification. You'll explore how different assets interact and how to structure allocations based on specific objectives.
Economic Indicators
Macro trends affect investment performance whether you're tracking them or not. This module helps you interpret economic data that influences market movements.
Belgian Market Context
Tax implications and regulatory considerations specific to Belgium matter when making investment decisions. We address local factors that impact portfolio management here.
