About us
### Welcome to the Lux Finance Circle
Our Mission: To Build a Community of Empowered, Evidence-Based Investors.
This is a group for finance enthusiasts, professionals, and anyone in Luxembourg serious about building long-term wealth through a rational, evidence-based approach.
We reject the "get-rich-quick" narratives and market noise that dominate financial media. Instead, our focus is on timeless principles, data-driven strategies, and the disciplined application of knowledge. Our goal is to create a space for intelligent, open-minded discussion where we can learn from each other and hold ourselves to a higher standard of financial thinking.
### What to Expect from Our Events:
This is not a typical lecture series. Our meetups are structured as casual, discussion-based gatherings designed to foster genuine connection and shared learning.
- Engaging Topics: Each event is centered on a specific, relevant topic in investing or personal finance.
- Expert Facilitation: Your host, Romain Lucas, will kick off each discussion with a brief, value-packed introduction to frame the conversation.
- Community-Driven Dialogue: The majority of our time is dedicated to open Q&A and group discussion, where your questions and experiences drive the conversation.
### Who Should Join?
This group is for you if you are a lifelong learner who believes in a disciplined, long-term approach to building wealth. Everyone is welcome, from the curious beginner ready to learn the fundamentals to the seasoned professional who enjoys debating advanced concepts.
Our only rule is that you come with an open mind and a willingness to both share your knowledge and challenge your own assumptions.
### About the Organizer:
This group is organized by Romain Lucas, a finance coach and the founder of Smart Money Growth. His mission is to empower European investors with the knowledge and frameworks to manage their own financial futures with confidence. He achieves this through free educational content, this community, and private one-on-one coaching and mentorship programs.

📢 Welcome to our next Lux Finance Circle meetup!
Most investing advice you find online is designed for US residents: 401(k)s, Roth IRAs, US-domiciled ETFs, zero capital gains tax in many states... But if you live in Luxembourg, almost none of that applies to you directly. And yet, Luxembourg offers its own powerful set of tax advantages that most residents never fully use, simply because they don't know about them.
The problem? Finding clear, practical guidance on investing as a Luxembourg resident is surprisingly difficult. The rules are different, the products are different, and the tax implications can catch you off guard if you follow generic advice from American YouTube channels or Reddit threads.
This session is a structured, open discussion designed to highlight the key differences and help you understand what actually matters when building a portfolio from Luxembourg.
🧭 Format of the Event
This is a casual, discussion-based gathering with no long presentations. We'll sit around the table, and your host Romain will kick things off with a short introduction covering:- Why most online investing advice doesn't translate to Luxembourg
- The key tax advantages available to Luxembourg residents (and how they compare to the US)
- Common pitfalls expats and residents fall into when following US-centric strategies
From there, we open the floor for discussion. Bring your questions, your experiences, and your curiosity.
Recommended Preparation To get the most out of our discussion, think about the investing advice you've come across online and whether you've ever wondered: "Does this actually apply to me here in Luxembourg?"- Continue the Conversation: For more content on building evidence-based portfolios as a Luxembourg resident, you can follow me on LinkedIn here: Romain Lucas
👥 Who Can Join?
Everyone is welcome. This discussion will be especially valuable if you are:- A Luxembourg resident or expat who invests (or wants to start) but isn't sure how local tax rules affect your strategy.
- Someone who has been following US-focused investing advice and wondering what applies here and what doesn't.
- A professional who wants to understand the specific advantages Luxembourg offers for long-term wealth building.
