Instructors:

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.”

Our goal:

Academy for Investors' goal is to empower all private or professional investors to become better investors. More institutes might claim they have this goal for their clients. However, you need to have personally trained and coached thousands of investors to know how to best explain. We see the mistakes beginners make and the opportunities they miss. We know from experience what makes a good trader and what it takes to become a better investor.

Our combined experience of 60 years working with private investors forms the basis of these courses. The teachers of this course and myself have gained experience working for over 20 years at the industry-leading BinckBank and Saxo Bank. Become a better investor and enjoy the journey!
