An ageing population structurally needs more care, medication and medical technology, regardless of the economic cycle.
Electrification and AI data centres need more power than today's system delivers. Nuclear energy is indispensable.

A less stable world invests in security and seeks a store of value in gold and silver.
Building AI capacity drives a decade of investment in infrastructure, power supply for data centres and software.
The four megatrends set the direction.
Within them, thirteen niches we focus on.
Fundamental selection: business model, valuation and stage of the company.
Timing, with a predetermined ratio between opportunity and risk.
Concentrated, with a predetermined risk per position. We hold positions for weeks to years, as long as the thesis holds.
Every month we ask the same question again: does the thesis still hold?
The current allocation. Participants see the full portfolio in the monthly report.
Twenty years of low interest rates and globalisation lifted broad equity indices. That tailwind is turning. Money is moving towards energy, security, healthcare and real assets. We invest in the direction of that shift, not in the direction of the past.
“We believe we are at the start of a structural shift of capital. Not a normal market cycle.”
In three periods over the past hundred years, gold and commodities strongly outperformed broad equities: around 1930, in the 1970s and after 2000. There are many signs that we are at the start of the fourth.
If you are looking for a capital guarantee or a fixed income, this fund is not suitable for you.
You can participate from the Netherlands and from most other countries. For countries with an increased risk profile, additional checks or restrictions apply. Tax treatment depends on your country of residence.
“I invest where capital will flow over the next ten years.”
The 20% performance fee is not charged on your full investment. It applies only to gains above the high-water mark: the highest level on which a fee has previously been withheld. A decline must therefore be recovered before a performance fee applies again. The performance fee is determined and withheld monthly.
An example. You invest €100,000 and the fund is at its high-water mark. Over the year, the fund makes a gain of €25,000 after the management fee. Added up over the year, the performance fee is 20% of that gain: €5,000. You keep €20,000, a net return of 20%.
In a year in which we achieve our 20% target return, the performance fee therefore amounts to roughly 5% of your invested capital. For participations from €2 million, that is roughly 3.5%. A year without gains above the high-water mark carries no performance fee.
