From our students

A good friend told me about learning to invest through Academy for Investors. I haven’t really been into this before as I was always very busy with my work. Recently however I have become really intrigued by the possibilities of earning money by investing. I am very satisfied with the level of the course, I completed the stocks for beginners and then continued with the stocks for experienced. The explanations are really clear even if, like myself, you don’t have the knowledge yet. It's a great way to start. I would recommend this course to people who want to make smart investments in the future.

I enrolled in the 'Investing for Beginners' course with the goal of expanding my understanding of the stock market and potentially making some initial investments. The course description mentioned periodic meetings with instructors, so I initially expected just a few touchpoints throughout the duration of the course. To my delight, I've been consistently meeting with my exceptionally knowledgeable instructor for the past five months. Far from leaving me to navigate this complex field on my own, my instructor has provided unwavering support and valuable insights that have been instrumental in my journey towards becoming a more confident investor. The ongoing guidance I've received has exceeded all my expectations and has been invaluable in setting me on a path to financial literacy and independence.

Before taking this course, I thought I knew the basics of investing but, I was curious how the course would benefit me regardless of my previous knowledge. Now, after completing the course I understand the basics of investing and I know much more than I did before, and so much that I didn’t know I needed to know. I feel more comfortable in my ability to make choices for my investments and the personalized service helped with that. The course covered everything necessary to become confident in my future investments and how I should proceed with them. It is like a driver’s license for investing! Hugo Investing helped me and I highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to have all the knowledge they need to become a better investor all in one course.

I have known Kaspar and the whole team for years and have had to recognize many times that trading in shares is not just a button, there is much more to it. I lost too much money by making emotional decisions and as a result, I became insecure and thought it was not meant for me. After years of leaving the stock exchange for what it was, Kaspar pointed me to the Academy for Investors. I did the course options for beginners. I have to tell you I enjoyed this so much! There are many opportunities to make money but at the same time protect your portfolio.

Kaspar Huijsman 

Kaspar worked for BinckBank for over 22 years. He launched the Spanish operation in 2006, initially to support Dutch ex-pat investors in Spain – a service that subsequently expanded to include other ex-pat residents and non-residents throughout the country. A seasoned expert in investing, he offers seminars throughout Spain and Portugal, explaining how the platform works and how to assess the risks associated with investments.

Martin Totté 

Martin is an experienced account manager who was part of the Spanish BinckBank team for over eight years. “For me, the most important thing is that clients keep their portfolios together when markets are bearish. Resisting reflex impulses is more often than not rewarded in the mid to longer-term. Teaching our clients which instruments to use at what moment is my main goal.”

Taco te Gussinklo 

Taco was an active trader before he joined the team as an account manager. “It’s nice to pass that knowledge on and show people how to invest, whether they are experienced investors or people who have simply decided to take more control of their money. Our door is always open to them.”
