Hi, I’m Tony.
I’ve studied in the US, built a career in Asia, and now live in France. That journey across three continents shaped how I think about cross-border money, taxes, and investing, as something I’ve had to navigate myself.
I created V1 Finance because I believe stronger financial literacy makes our lives easier, and can help fund our passions. I use V1 Finance to share tips, ideas, and keep track of my own personal journey in investing.
When I’m not working, I’m flying small aircrafts for fun. In the pilot’s seat, success hinges on staying informed and keeping your cool. A mistake can cost you everything. In some ways, managing my own investments isn’t so different!
I review my finances and investments every 11th day of month, which I call “Budget Day”. This is a routine I once kept private, that I now share here hoping it inspires others to build themselves a safer future too.
This website helps me stay consistent and diligent, especially in a world where putting your capital to work matters more than ever. If you’re interested, you can follow along as I manage my own account focused on small European companies.

Why V1? In aviation, “V1” is the critical decision speed. Once you reach V1 on the runway, you must commit to taking off or aborting. It’s a moment of no turning back, and it’s about real-time judgment with consequences.
