Investment Workshops for 2025
We're running hands-on sessions throughout the year for anyone curious about financial markets. These aren't typical lectures – you'll work through real scenarios, ask questions that matter to you, and leave with practical skills you can actually use.
Upcoming Sessions in Belgium
We've scheduled these across Namur and Brussels. Each session caps at 18 people because we've found that smaller groups just work better for this kind of learning.
Portfolio Construction Fundamentals
How do you actually build a portfolio that makes sense? We'll walk through asset allocation, risk assessment, and diversification strategies using real market data from European exchanges.
Reserve Your SpotReading Financial Statements
Balance sheets and income statements aren't as scary as they look. This session breaks down what all those numbers actually mean and which ones deserve your attention when evaluating companies.
Reserve Your SpotMarket Psychology and Behavior
Why do smart people make bad investment decisions? We'll explore cognitive biases, emotional triggers, and practical techniques to recognize when you're about to make a mistake driven by fear or excitement.
Reserve Your SpotRisk Management Strategies
Understanding risk isn't about avoiding it entirely. It's about knowing what you're taking on and why. We'll cover position sizing, stop losses, and portfolio hedging using accessible examples.
Reserve Your SpotTechnical Analysis Basics
Charts tell stories if you know how to read them. This workshop covers candlestick patterns, trend identification, and support/resistance levels without drowning you in indicator overload.
Reserve Your SpotInvestment Research Methods
Where do you even start when researching an investment opportunity? We'll show you reliable data sources, research frameworks, and how to separate signal from noise in financial media.
Reserve Your SpotHow Our Workshops Actually Work
Foundation Setting
We start with core concepts, but not in a textbook way. You'll see how these ideas apply to actual investment scenarios from the first fifteen minutes.
Practical Application
Most of each session involves working through examples. You'll analyze real companies, evaluate actual portfolios, and practice the techniques with guidance available when you need it.
Group Discussion
Learning happens when you hear different perspectives. We dedicate time for participants to share their analysis and reasoning – these conversations often reveal insights the instructor didn't even plan to cover.
Resource Toolkit
You leave with templates, checklists, and reference materials you can use immediately. Plus access to our community forum where past participants continue asking questions and sharing experiences.
Meet Livia Fennimore
Guest Instructor – November SessionLivia spent twelve years managing pension fund portfolios before switching to education. She's joining our November workshop to share what she learned about investor psychology – specifically how institutional investors handle emotional decision-making differently than individuals.
Her approach is refreshingly honest. She talks about the mistakes she made early in her career and what those experiences taught her about managing risk during market volatility.
- Recognizing pattern-seeking bias in investment decisions
- Building decision frameworks that work under pressure
- Learning from historical market panics and bubbles
- Developing patience in a culture that rewards action
