At Poolder, you won’t find cryptocurrency cowboys chasing quick profits or riding the wave of a passing hype. Founders and lifelong friends Berend Eggeraat (COO) and Jonathan Heemskerk (CTO) didn’t gain their expertise from a crash course in crypto but from solid academic foundations at Leiden University and Delft University of Technology. Eggeraat is a legal expert with in-depth knowledge of market analysis, financial law, and compliance, while Heemskerk is a tech whizz specialising in programming and financial analytics. Together with seasoned professionals—each boasting over 25 years of experience in banking, insurance, and asset management—they are building Poolder’s success.
More Than Coin Flipping
What truly sets Poolder apart is its technology. Eggeraat explains: “Our investment strategy was born from the desire to avoid constant coin flipping or chasing trends. Instead, we focus on using technology to its fullest potential. Our funds operate directly on the blockchain, allowing us to benefit from the trading volumes there. That’s how we achieve such impressive returns.”
Their proprietary ‘Poolder Stack’ leverages AI (machine learning), blockchain applications, and unique algorithms to find the ideal balance between risk and return. As the first crypto fund manager to apply for an AIFMD licence, Poolder aims to make its crypto funds accessible to the general public.
Exceptional Returns
Poolder offers three distinct funds (Poolfolios): Stable, Mixed, and Full Crypto, each with an increasing risk profile. Here’s where things get really interesting. Eggeraat notes: “What’s remarkable about Stable is that it offers unprecedented low volatility for crypto, yet delivers exceptional returns.”
The expected annual returns range from 10-15% for Stable to as much as 25% for Full Crypto. But the actual figures have surpassed expectations. Last year, the Stable fund achieved a return of 20.93%, while Full Crypto soared with an impressive 51.48%.
