The self-made stock exchange professional

Thomas Vittner came to the stock market as a career changer from the insurance industry and within a few years became a successful stock trader, keynote speaker and bestselling author! In addition, he was co-founder of the world’s first stock robo advisor, a digital financial services provider.

Thomas Vittner bought his first stocks shortly after the turn of the millennium. And in doing so, he had a big dream – to achieve financial independence.

But things initially turned out differently – he lost almost his entire fortune. Because he didn’t know the challenges of the stock market. Because he didn’t know himself.

But where others would have given up, he really got started. Thomas began devouring every stock market book he could get his hands on. And after a few years, the first successes began to appear.

Eight years later, Thomas had his first stock exchange book contract in his hands. And what followed was a successful stock market career that continues to this day.

Trading for a living

In 2007, Thomas gave his first presentation at the Vienna Stock Exchange. 

One year later, his broker sent him on roadshows through Germany and Austria as a figurehead due to his above-average stock market profits. 

Due to these successes and after a successful career in the insurance industry, he ventured into professional self-employment as a stock exchange trader in 2009.

In 2016, Thomas Vittner founded the world’s first equity robo advisor, a digital financial services provider. He led the company for years as CEO until its sale.

After selling the investment consulting business, Thomas decided to use his free time wisely by reviving his Trading & Education business, which had been shut down since 2014 and started in 2007, in 2019. 

Today, Thomas Vittner and a small, dedicated team offer high-quality trading education throughout the German-speaking world.
