About Laaken
A professional wealth manager must actively strive for better returns than the market. The vast majority of wealth managers are unable to do this and are therefore increasingly opting for passive investments. They increasingly follow the market; but do not recoup the management fees. Do you get the most out of your portfolio this way? We are convinced there is a better way.

Why invest at Laaken?
Laaken has one of the best track records among Dutch managers since inception in 2007. The active deviation from the market by our team of experienced investors has led to very strong results.
The partners invest the same as our clients. Furthermore, Laaken is not a bank. As an independent manager, we do not benefit from transactions and financial products in the portfolios. Wealth management is our sole activity, our only focus is achieving your investment goals.
Our portfolios consist of highly liquid securities that can be sold any time. We do not commit to investments that lock up for a longer period of time.

Investment Outlook & Thesis
Investment outlook first quarter 2025
After two strong years for equities, investors are cautious for 2025—particularly retail investors in the U.S. The AAII sentiment index shows that only 35% expect positive returns in the next six months. Instead of exiting the market, we at Laaken continually seek opportunities across a broad universe of stocks and bonds.
