Investing can feel overwhelming. Between social media advice, and endless financial jargon, it's often difficult to know where to begin.

This event is organized in partnership with Degroof Petercam Bank.

In this practical and interactive session, Brent Van den Broeck, CFA, Portfolio Manager at Degroof Petercam, will guide you through the fundamentals of investing, helping you understand not only how to invest, but why investing matters in today's world.

Throughout the evening, you'll have the opportunity to compare your instincts with common investment principles.

Together, we'll explore:

• Why investing is becoming increasingly important for achieving long-term financial goals.
• The different asset classes available to investors and how they work.
• The relationship between risk and return—and why one cannot exist without the other.
• The principles of diversification and long-term investing.
• Active versus passive investing.
• Common behavioural and cognitive biases that influence investment decisions.
• How to choose a broker and keep investment costs under control.
• Whether you actually need a financial advisor.

Whether you're just starting your investment journey or looking to strengthen your financial knowledge, this session will provide practical tools and a clearer framework for making confident, informed investment decisions.
