Building Financial Confidence Through Clear Education
We started Valorvox Arc because we saw too many people stuck on the sidelines. Not from lack of interest, but from confusion about where to begin with investing.
Based in Mechelen, we've spent years working with individuals who thought investing was either too complex or only for wealthy people. That's simply not true, and we're here to prove it through practical education.
Our approach focuses on real understanding, not quick wins or complex jargon. We teach the fundamentals that matter and help people make informed decisions about their financial futures.
How We Got Here
Our journey wasn't planned from day one. It developed through conversations with people who wanted to understand investing but found most resources either too basic or overwhelmingly technical.
Initial Workshops
Started with small weekend sessions in Mechelen, teaching 8-12 people at a time about basic investment concepts. The feedback was immediate—people wanted practical knowledge they could actually use.
Curriculum Development
After working with over 200 individuals, we identified patterns in what worked. Built structured courses based on real questions and common obstacles people faced when starting their investment journey.
Program Expansion
Launched comprehensive programs covering portfolio construction, risk assessment, and long-term planning. Added one-on-one guidance for people who needed more personalized approaches to their specific situations.
Our Teaching Philosophy
We don't believe in shortcuts or get-rich-quick promises. Investing is a skill that develops over time with proper guidance and practice.
Every course we offer focuses on building genuine understanding. You'll learn why certain strategies work, how to evaluate options, and when to adjust your approach based on changing circumstances.
Our next comprehensive program begins in September 2025, designed for people who want to move from uncertainty to confidence in their investment decisions.
Foundation Building
Start with core concepts: asset classes, diversification, risk tolerance. We make sure everyone understands the basics before moving forward.
Strategy Formation
Learn how to construct portfolios aligned with your goals. Practice evaluating investments using frameworks that professionals use daily.
Risk Management
Understand how to assess and manage risk appropriately. Learn when to hold, when to adjust, and how to avoid common behavioral mistakes.
Ongoing Practice
Apply concepts through case studies and portfolio analysis. Develop decision-making skills that improve with experience and continued learning.
Floris Decroos
I spent twelve years working in portfolio management before realizing my real interest was in education. Not the theoretical kind you find in textbooks, but practical knowledge that helps people make better financial decisions.
What drives me is watching someone grasp a concept they thought was beyond their reach. That moment when diversification stops being jargon and becomes a tool they actually understand how to use.
What I Focus On
- Breaking down complex investment strategies into understandable components
- Teaching risk assessment that goes beyond surface-level analysis
- Helping people develop their own investment frameworks rather than following formulas
- Building confidence through knowledge, not false promises
I work primarily with our comprehensive programs and one-on-one guidance sessions. My background includes portfolio management for institutional clients and private individuals, but education is where I've found the most meaningful work.
Outside of teaching, I spend time analyzing market trends and updating our curriculum based on current conditions. The investment landscape changes, and our education needs to reflect that reality.
