Our story

Because the financial crisis had caused equity markets to correct substantially, a number of wealthy Dutch families got together in 2009 to take back control over their liquid - daily tradeable - assets. They were disappointed that banks and wealth managers had not been able to protect their investments during the crisis.

The families decided to found Andreas Capital as an asset manager for their investments in equities and bonds. They wanted people close to them to manage their wealth in an independent way, performing their own research, investing mainly directly in individual shares and bonds instead of costly products.

Andreas Capital started out as a private asset manager for these families, but as they are entrepreneurs they envisioned that many more families would have the same view and Andreas Capital could grow in assets. Now, after more than a decennium, the client base has grown and the founding families are still owners and clients. Our clients’ interests are therefore fully aligned with ours and we run the company as a family owned enterprise: ‘From families to families’.

Investing with conviction

At Andreas Capital we invest with conviction and we would like to share our beliefs with you. They guard the way we work and how we put your interest first.


Taking investment risks will be rewarded
Taking risks is necessary to generate returns. At Andreas Capital we believe that taking calculated risks will generate a fitting return. Even if we select passive instruments like ETF’s, we make an active choice. Our added value lies in selecting the best investments and actively manage the risks in your portfolio by shifting from equities to bonds and vice versa.


Invest for the longer term
Long term investors have more investment possiblities and better chances on a high return. At Andreas Capital you will find long term investors who will not be distracted by daily issues, but focus on the real economic value of your investments driven by the free cash-flow they generate. We believe that this value will ultimately be reflected in the market valuation.


Diversification adds value
Diversifying over different asset classes and multiple positions, decreases the risk of investing. At Andreas Capital we tap as many different and differentiating sources of return and combine them in your portfolio. In the long run these sources will deliver their returns in different periods and in different ways. This will stabilise the value of your portfolio over time and thus decreases overall volatility.


Social Responsible Investing is not a choice
The possibility to positively influence the world where our (grand) children grow up is so evident, that we do not even regard this as a choice. Per sector we select those companies that have the highest contribution to the goals that have been written down in the Global Compact of the United Nations.


The power of simplicity
We believe in the power of simplicity and in principle individual equities and bonds are not complex instruments. This makes risks, returns and costs much more transparant than with complex instruments. Given the choice we will always choose simple solutions in order to avoid unnecessary costs and intransparancy.


It pays off to be the first mover
Investors that are among the first to invest in new asset classes or investment themes get the highest risk-reward ratio. This ratio tends to decrease when more investors adopt the same asset classes or themes in their portfolios. At Andreas Capital we are always searching for unique, innovative en thematic investment opportunities to generate extra returns.


Ownership enhances long term returns
Companies where management and ownership are well aligned, deliver the highest financial results and are focused on the longer term. This quality is applied by Andreas Capital when it comes to selecting individual equities and bonds, but also when we select investment funds. Alignment of interest is at the heart of Andreas Capital as the shareholders of our firm are also clients from the first hour.


Cost awareness equals extra return
Costs are inevitable, but if they do not create an opportunity for extra return it is better to avoid them. Andreas Capital is convinced that making active choices add value. That is why we predominantly invest in individual equities and bonds. To a lesser extent we also invest in actively managed funds. If however we believe that in particular markets it is hard to add value for active managers, we use passive instruments to minimalise costs.


Discipline is a condition for repetitive success
Selecting the right investments has nothing to do with luck or coincidence. It is the result of a disciplined way of working with talented people and automated processes. At Andreas Capital we leave nothing to chance so that our choices and your return are a logical result of applying our investment beliefs in your investment portfolio.
