Brokers are an important part of index investing. But it's only one part of the system you need to setup.

You also need to understand taxes, pick the right ETFs, determine your asset allocation, build your personal investment plan, and then figure out all the practical stuff.

It can feel overwhelming.

In the workshop you will learn:
- What makes index investing the best way to invest for the long term
- How to get better results than banks and professional fund managers and protect yourself during market crashes
- How to invest well with 100 euros (you don’t need much to get started!) in less than 5 minutes a month
- How to get started with index investing Belgium in just a few weeks – my practical roadmap to learn everything you need to know and start investing with confidence.

Thank you so much for such detailed analysis. Having googled over the years on and off passively, I am very thankful to have achieved a great deal of learning in 1.5 hours based off your knowledge sharing. Thank you again, Sebastien and Toon!

Thanks for this! I'm just starting looking into investing and I was already feeling stressed about figuring out what broker to choose and where to get some credible information on the different brokers. This has probably saved me from many sleepness nights! Now that I think to know what broker I'm going to start with, it's time to figure out how much and in what I should invest

[mojbah-zu]

Thank you for your great videos on stock market investing in Belgium. Would it be possible to create a video on long-term investing with Interactive Brokers? Could you also clarify how frequently it is recommended to buy and sell within a month or a year with zero tax? and also is there any ETF or Stock we have to avoid because of zero tax rule? Thanks

[lennywelter]

great work u 2 ! wondering if and when trade republic truly starts covering the taxes by themselves

[MarioAgobian]

Thank you Sebastien for the workshop, a lot nice details and work behind which is very helpful for the audience. I would like to ask your advice, which broker you recommend in Belgium for trading on Forex market? And out of curiosity, for crypto as well? Thank you and see you in other videos!

[annelieshenderieckx]

Great overview ! Thank you for this detailed information

[andysmusicden]

Very interesting overview. Thank you! Maybe one data to add is language of platform.

[randraluc]

Great and valueable content. Have you guys taken a look at Indexa Capital? Very known in Spain and now available in Belgium and France. It is not a broker but a roboadvisor. However they are showing great performance and customer satisfaction since they entered the market. Could it be worth for index investment strategy?Thanks

[jordihurtadosabate]

Hi Seb,
do you have a review for Lightyear?
I'd assume it's comparable to DeGiro at least in terms fees.
Do they handle TOB tax as well?
thanks

[bobdesmet]

Thank you both for this wonderful table
the only question I still have is the impact of the TOB per brooker, I have read that bolero charges a TOB of 1.32 percent for VWCE while other belgian brookers only charge a tob of 0.35 or 0.12 percent. What effect does this have on our portfolio? Is this correct that not every brooker charges the same TOB for the same price cap?

[leonstoltefuss]

I have a question. I want to use Bolero so every tax is taken care of by the broker. But do I still have to put my ETF on my yearly tax declaration? And what about single shares and crypto?
