IMQubator is an emerging manager fund and cornerstone investor in emerging managers.
IMQubator is based in the Netherlands, a country known for its expertise in pension fund management. Even so, little has to date been done to export this expertise.
In fact, Dutch pension funds have increased their use of asset managers located in other countries.
IMQubator is a new initiative whose aim is to connect institutional investors with
top asset management talent in a cost efficient and controlled risk environment. The initiative offers pension funds, asset managers and institutions from the Netherlands and abroad an opportunity to invest in new funds set up by selected new asset managers at attractive costs.
IMQubator aims to offer talented asset managers an attractive alternative to other locations like London and New York. IMQubator’s focus is on innovative and absolute return oriented managers with asymmetric return profiles and strong risk discipline. For new innovative asset managers, the Netherlands offers a lower cost of operation compared with other international financial centers.
IMQubator is a multi-manager fund in the legal form of an FGR (fonds voor gemene rekening which is comparable to a fund for joint/shared account). The manager of IMQubator is IMQ Investment Management B.V. , who selects, monitors and guides emerging managers during the start-up period.
The IMQ Investment Management team consists of Jeroen M. Tielman (CEO), Rikard Lundgren (CIO), Remco J. Zomer (COO), and Quirijn van de Weg.
