Investing efficiently
With a minimum initial investment of € 250,000 you get access to our proven investment strategy through the Laaken investment funds. Depending on your own risk appetite and financial situation we offer three different risk profiles of your choice. The funds follow exactly the composition of the Laaken Model portfolios.
The Laaken investment funds are cost-efficient since they are VAT-exempt and bear lower transactions costs than smaller individual accounts. Since 2007, our portfolios have achieved significant higher returns than the market. Would you like to know how? Request our brochure.

Become a fund investor in just three steps. We remain at your disposal for any questions.
Personal meeting
We would like to get in touch to better understand your personal situation and further elaborate our investment fund proposal. You only have to choose the appropriate risk profile and we will do the rest.
Choice of risk profile
After your choice of an appropriate risk profile, we will finalize the registration and you will be fully invested from the start of the next month. Your investment is pooled in the fund's account and hence you do not need to open a new bank account.
Investing your wealth
Depending on the risk profile of your choice, we will invest your capital using our active investment strategy. You no longer have to worry about it. We will keep you informed through our monthly reporting in your own online client portal.

Sustainability
Laaken applies Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria in its investment policy, but our portfolios do not have sustainable investment objectives. The primary goal is to achieve good returns for our clients.
In addition to incorporating ESG factors and risks into our investment policy, Laaken is a signatory of the UN Principles for Responsible Investments, and we follow an exclusion list of very harmful investments.
The result is that our portfolios have a relatively small footprint compared to the market.
