Edge Capital

What Edge Capital does

Edge Capital is a privately held Dutch quantitative investment management firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Noordwijkerhout, Netherlands. It develops and operates systematic, fully hedged market-neutral investment strategies deployed across global options and futures markets. The firm's investment process is explicitly rule-based, using predefined parameters — including interest rates, correlation, volatility, and option premiums — to enforce consistency and eliminate emotional bias, with risk designed into each position rather than managed reactively.

The firm distributes two core fund products: EdgeFund, a market-neutral volatility premium strategy capturing option premium through systematic execution across options and futures markets, and the Correlation Arbitrage Fund, which exploits pricing inefficiencies between correlated instruments using systematic approaches. Both products are positioned as market-neutral, with all positions fully hedged and strategies applied across multiple markets globally. Edge Capital publicly discloses that it operates outside supervision of the Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) and that there is no requirement for licensing or a prospectus for its activity.

Edge Capital generates revenue through standard hedge fund mechanics — management fees on assets under management and performance fees on returns — and targets institutional investors (pension funds, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and endowments) seeking market-neutral exposure and disciplined, reproducible execution. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with a consultative approach, including a dedicated /institutional portal and 'Request Brochure' / 'Contact' CTAs. Brand visibility is reinforced through Dutch financial media appearances (IEX, RTL Z, Business Class, Beurs Van Berlage) and a brand ambassador partnership with motorsport driver Nyck de Vries. Leadership comprises Paul Lamain as Founder and Head of Institutional, and Teagan de Groot as Chief Executive Officer; the firm operates with a 1–10 employee footprint.
