Fynoptex
We work with universities, training centers, and financial institutions across Belgium who share our vision. Because emotional investing isn't just about numbers—it's about understanding how people actually make financial decisions.
Over the past three years, we've learned what creates value for both sides. Here's how organizations typically work with us—and why it makes sense for their students.
Business schools and universities that embed our emotional investing framework into existing finance courses. We provide curriculum materials, guest lectures, and real-world case studies. Most partnerships include quarterly workshops where students analyze behavioral patterns in actual market scenarios.
Financial institutions using our programs for internal development. These partners appreciate the focus on decision-making psychology rather than technical analysis. We've noticed that teams who understand emotional investing tend to communicate better with clients about risk and expectations.
Organizations bringing financial literacy to underserved communities. These partnerships matter deeply to us. We work together on simplified programs that help people understand their money behaviors without overwhelming financial jargon.
Nobody wants another complicated vendor relationship. Our approach is straightforward because we've learned that transparency matters more than polished presentations.
We talk about what you're trying to achieve and whether our approach fits. No sales pitch—just honest discussion about needs and realistic outcomes.
Start small with a single course or workshop. This gives everyone a chance to see if the content resonates with your audience before making bigger commitments.
After the pilot, we adjust. Your instructors know your students better than we do, so their input shapes how we customize materials going forward.
Once we're working together regularly, you get access to updated materials, quarterly training sessions, and direct contact with our team when questions come up.
These are real people we work with. They've been kind enough to share what the partnerships have meant for their programs and students.

We integrated Fynoptex materials into our behavioral finance module in autumn 2024. What surprised me was how students responded to the emotional framework. They started asking different questions—not just "how does this work" but "why do I react this way when markets drop."
The case studies based on Belgian market reactions during 2023 made abstract concepts tangible for our students.
Training Coordinator, BNP Paribas Fortis
Our wealth advisors needed better tools for client conversations about risk tolerance. The Fynoptex framework gave them a vocabulary for discussing emotional responses without sounding dismissive. Three months after training, we saw noticeable improvements in how advisors documented client concerns.
It's not magic, but it's practical—which is exactly what we needed for professional development.
Beyond materials and training, here's what organizations find valuable about partnering with us.
All materials are classroom-tested and include instructor guides. You're not starting from scratch or figuring out how to teach behavioral finance on your own.
Your feedback shapes future materials. When partners identify gaps or suggest improvements, those changes benefit everyone in the network.
Connect with other educators and institutions working on similar challenges. We facilitate knowledge sharing through quarterly partner meetings and a shared resource library.
Case studies and examples reflect the Belgian financial environment. Students see familiar situations rather than generic international examples that don't quite fit.
Financial markets change, and so do our materials. Partners receive updated content that reflects current market conditions and emerging behavioral research.
Questions don't go through multiple layers. Instructors can reach our content team directly when they need clarification or want to adapt materials for specific audiences.
We're planning new initiatives for autumn 2025. If you're interested in being part of what comes next, let's talk early rather than waiting until everything is finalized.
Starting September 2025, we're introducing a professional certification in emotional investing coaching. Partners will have first access to enroll instructors and integrate this into existing programs.
We're building a research consortium with academic partners to study behavioral patterns in Belgian markets. If your institution conducts behavioral finance research, this might be worth exploring together.
With more international students in Belgium, we're developing materials that address cross-cultural differences in financial decision-making. Launch planned for early 2026.
