Building Financial Futures Together

We started Omital because every family deserves clear, practical guidance on growing wealth without the confusion of financial jargon

Our Beginning

Back in early 2023, Henrik was sitting at his kitchen table in Bruges, helping his neighbor understand why her savings account was actually losing money to inflation. That conversation sparked something.

See, Henrik had spent twelve years working with investment firms across Belgium, but he kept seeing the same problem. Families wanted to invest wisely, but they were getting either overly complex advice from banks or oversimplified "get rich quick" schemes online. Nothing in between.

"I realized that what families really needed wasn't another trading platform or another generic financial advisor. They needed someone to sit down and explain investing the way you'd explain it to your own family."

So we built Omital around that idea. Every lesson, every strategy, every piece of advice gets tested with one simple question: Would this actually help my own family make better financial decisions?

What Drives Everything We Do

These aren't just nice words on a website. They're the principles we use to make every decision about how we teach and what we recommend.

F

Family-First Thinking

Every investment strategy we teach gets evaluated through one lens: Does this actually work for real families with real budgets, real goals, and real concerns about their future?

C

Clear Communication

We explain complex financial concepts the way Henrik learned to explain them to his neighbor - using everyday language and real examples instead of industry jargon that nobody understands.

P

Practical Results

Theory is nice, but we focus on teaching strategies that you can actually implement with your current situation. No unrealistic expectations or promises of overnight wealth.

T

Long-Term Perspective

Quick fixes don't work in investing. We teach sustainable approaches that build wealth steadily over years and decades, not trading schemes that promise instant profits.

The People Behind Omital

We're not a huge company, and we like it that way. It means when you have questions or need guidance, you're talking to people who genuinely care about helping your family succeed financially.

Founder & Investment Strategist

Henrik spent over a decade at traditional investment firms before starting Omital. He got tired of watching good families make poor financial decisions because no one took the time to explain things clearly. When he's not developing new courses, you'll find him cycling the Belgian coast or testing investment strategies on his own portfolio first.
