Game-Changing Guide on Effortless ETF Investing
New Book Simplifies ETF Investing for Belgians, Co-Authored by Curvo's Yoran Brondsema
The new book Gagner en bourse sans se fatiguer has just been released, offering a fresh perspective on ETF investing specifically tailored for Belgian readers. Co-authored by Yoran Brondsema, co-founder of Curvo, a member of FinTech Belgium, this book aims to simplify and demystify the world of ETFs (exchange-traded funds). It's a French adaptation of De hangmatbelegger, which was published last year and has already sold over 15,000 copies in Belgium and the Netherlands, showcasing the growing interest in accessible investing strategies.
The book is designed for those who want to invest but don't have the time or desire to constantly manage their investments. With the unique “lazy” strategy outlined by Yoran and his co-author Tim, readers can learn how to achieve success in the stock market without spending hours on research or analysis. This approach is based on three core principles that challenge the traditional perceptions of investing:
1. Saving is losing money: Many people keep their money in savings accounts, but with inflation on the rise, these savings lose value over time. Each year, inflation reduces the purchasing power of your savings, leaving you with less money in real terms. So, what's the alternative? The book addresses the common concern: isn't investing risky, time-consuming, and something only the wealthy can afford?
2. Investing from the comfort of your couch: The authors demonstrate that investing doesn't have to be complicated or require significant time. ETFs, a type of investment fund traded on stock exchanges, offer an accessible solution. With just a few clicks, anyone can purchase a diversified portfolio of stocks that tracks a specific market index. This makes investing more straightforward and efficient for those who don't want to monitor the markets daily.
3. Passive investing beats active management: Yoran and Tim argue that passive investing, through ETFs, outperforms traditional actively managed funds. Not only is it less complicated, but it also comes with lower fees, more transparency, and a higher probability of success. The authors show that by choosing the right passive funds, investors can achieve better results with less effort, making the process truly “lazy.”
In Gagner en bourse sans se fatiguer, Yoran and Tim provide practical insights and actionable advice, making it a must-read for anyone looking to enter the world of investing without stress or confusion. Whether you're new to investing or just looking for a more relaxed approach, this book offers a clear roadmap to financial success with minimal effort.
