Our story

The financial crisis, and the sharp correction on the equity markets that came with it, brought a number of wealthy Dutch families together in 2009. Banks and wealth managers had not proved able to protect their capital, and the families wanted to take back control of how it was invested.

So they founded Andreas Capital. They wanted to work with people of their own — people who would invest the family capital independently, decide on the basis of their own research and judgement, and hold shares, bonds, private equity and property directly rather than through expensive products. Andreas Capital began as the private asset manager to those families.

Convinced that other families and institutions were looking for the same thing, we decided early on to offer that approach more widely. Since then the client base has grown considerably, and the founding families are still involved.

What made us start in 2009 is still how we work. Our own research, our own decisions, and no obligation to use any bank’s product range. And the people who look after the wealth are people you know by name.

‘From families, for families’.
