Services

Black Swan Capital is an award-winning independent investment advisory firm dedicated to delivering investment advice for the specific and unique needs of internationals.

Our service is independent - our investment license is as an independent investment adviser. This means we look at the options across the market to determine what is best for you. Importantly it also means we have no affiliation with any fund or investment institution and will not accept commissions from any firm. Our commitment is to our clients. You will never be asked to lock into long term investment structures or be saddled with potential exit fees. Our clients call our service a breath of fresh air and the solution they wish they had years ago.

Based in Amsterdam, we work with clients all over the EU, whether they are simply looking for some guidance towards their financial goals or they have complex questions about investing because of their background, nationality or US and other global tax liabilities.

We always have highly qualified consultants available for an introductory video call (free-of-charge and with no obligation) to see how we could add value to your situation.

Contact us to see how we could help you towards your goals.

Are you trying to make sense of the financial landscape in the Netherlands? Personal finance, in general, isn’t like taking a walk in the park, right? Especially since most of the information is only available in Dutch. So, why not make life easier and let us take care of your finances?

At Independent Expat Finance, we’re experts in giving expats financial peace of mind. We take care of everything you need during your stay in the Netherlands: your banking, your insurance, your utilities, your mortgage, and even your consumer loans. But don’t just believe us on our word, have a look at what one of our clients had to say:

“Independent Expat Finance has been an incredible ally in the whirlwind of my move: not only did they introduce me to the best relocation agent I could imagine, they also helped me get my BSN sorted out in my first week in Amsterdam, as well as opening a bank account with every documentation and access in English! And as if it wasn’t already pure magic, they then proceeded to help me set up all the rest of my amenities (water, electricity, gas and even Internet) and guide me through choosing health care, home, and legal insurance. I can’t thank Independent Expat Finance enough and I will for sure use their services again when the time comes for me to settle down and invest in property!”

Imagine how you’d feel knowing that all is taken care of for you. If you haven’t moved to the Netherlands yet, we can set up a free Skype call to discuss your needs. If you’re already here, feel free to stop by our office, or let us come to you. Just contact us at +31 (0)23-3030110 or info@inexpatfin.nl.
