“For me, private equity is also about helping other ambitious entrepreneurs.”

I have two specific objectives. First, preserving my wealth and achieving a certain level of growth. You do not want to move backwards. Second, I want to be able to contribute something to society. With private equity, I can best combine these objectives.

Private equity is often closely connected to the companies in which investments are made. This provides a level of transparency that is much less common in other forms of wealth management. I explored opportunities with major banks, but never decided to invest through them. Stacks of paperwork. High costs. That did not give me the right feeling. With private equity, there is also an opportunity to indirectly use skills and knowledge to support the development of the companies in which investments are made. From an investment perspective, I expect a stable and strong return. At the same time, partly through the fund and the companies you choose, it is also a way to do good for people and the environment. You can also support young entrepreneurs with a great idea. Giving people an opportunity they might not otherwise have is important to me. These are the kinds of differences you can make specifically through investing in private equity. As an investor, you naturally have less direct control, but you still feel that you are contributing to the success of a company. We are not here only to make money, but also to do good.

Fund Investments diversifies across several other funds. There is a relatively low entry threshold. And the way BB Capital presents itself appeals to me greatly, both on the website and in person. That was decisive for me. Despite the current circumstances, my questions were answered personally in a Microsoft Teams meeting.

The entire approach reflects professionalism and expertise. In addition, BB Capital has an extensive network. The people of BB Capital are also often represented within the funds in which Fund Investments is active. It really is a trustworthy partner. And on top of that, everything is taken care of for you. In a sense, you do not have to worry about it. Fortunately, because I am co-owner of a successful company specialising in solutions for process and combustion technology. That is where I naturally want to spend my time. We are increasingly shifting our focus towards renewable energy. We aim to reduce the CO2 footprint in industry. We do this by providing solutions that help phase out fossil fuels, with green fuels such as ammonia as a hydrogen carrier and hydrogen itself, the holy grail, increasingly taking their place.
