Poolder Global B.v.

What Poolder Global B.v. does

Poolder Global B.V. (operating as Poolder Digital Asset Management B.V.) is a Dutch fintech investment firm founded in September 2023 and headquartered in Rijswijk, Netherlands. The company manages three crypto-focused investment funds — Stable, Mixed, and Full Crypto Poolfolios — targeting high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and business owners with a €100,000 minimum investment and a six-month lock-up period. Poolder is registered with the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) as an AIFMD light manager, providing formal authorization to operate alternative investment funds within a regulated framework. The firm is led by co-founders Berend Eggeraat, Jonathan Heemskerk, and Jonathan Bouma (CEO/CFO), with Peter Heemskerk serving as CTO and Robin Urban as CCO.

Poolder's revenue model combines a 2.04% annual management fee on assets under management, a 20% performance fee subject to a high-water mark, a 0.5% one-time subscription fee, a 0.5% exit fee, and transaction fees generated from liquidity provision activities. The underlying technology platform, branded the Poolder Stack, is a proprietary on-chain analysis system built on Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure using PostgreSQL and SQL databases, .NET (C#), TypeScript, and React/NextJS, with serverless Azure Functions supporting the architecture. AI agents are deployed for data processing and quantitative analysis. Custody is provided through Fireblocks integration, SEPA payments via PAY.NL, fund administration by Asset Care, and banking relationships with ING Bank.

The company's stated strategic intent is to make crypto investing more accessible to traditional wealth holders, leveraging institutional-grade infrastructure, a credentialed leadership team with backgrounds at PwC, Accenture, Delta Lloyd, Disney, and KPN, and proprietary technology to differentiate from both crypto-native and traditional asset managers. Reported fund performance shows the Stable fund at 18% since inception, while the Mixed and Full Crypto funds show more modest or volatile results, with sharp YTD 2026 declines in the higher-risk strategies.

Revenue model

1. Management Fee: Annual management fee of 2.04% charged on assets under management. This provides a recurring revenue stream based on the total fund size.
2. Performance Fee: 20% performance fee (with high water mark) charged when the fund generates returns above its previous highest value. Aligns manager and investor interests.
3. Subscription/Entry Fee: 0.5% one-time subscription fee charged upon initial investment in any Poolfolio.
4. Transaction Fees from Liquidity Provision: The funds earn fees for every transaction executed in liquidity pools, independent of price direction. This fee-driven return model generates income from trading activity on blockchain platforms.
5. Exit Fee: 0.5% exit fee charged when investors redeem their participation, generating additional revenue from capital outflows.
