The
Luxembourg-based securitization company DHF Capital is bringing executives from
Dutch investment platform BOTS Capital directly into its governance structure
as part of a new cooperation aimed at widening access to its products for
retail investors across Europe.
DHF Capital Gives BOTS
Executives Seats
Under the
agreement, the founders of BOTS Capital will take one seat on DHF Capital’s
Board and another on its Supervisory Board, giving the app-based investment
platform a formal role in overseeing a Luxembourg securitization company that
usually caters to professional investors and family offices.
BOTS’ seats
on both the Board and Supervisory Board give the platform a formal role in DHF
Capital’s governance and product oversight. The companies say this should help
align priorities and coordinate how joint products and client flows are managed
over time.
“This
partnership is a milestone for both companies,” said Bas Kooijman, CEO of DHF Capital. “BOTS
brings forward-thinking technology and a strong European community, while DHF
contributes the discipline, structure and experience behind our investment
strategies.”
This will
be another personnel change as DHF recently appointed Menno Kooistra as the
Chairman of its Supervisory Board, the
company said. Kooistra spent nearly three years at Rabobank, where he
served as executive vice president from October 2019 to January 2023.
BOTS
Capital’s app serves more than 100,000 clients, primarily in the Benelux
region, and positions itself as a way to access “institutional-grade investment
quality” through an automated, technology-driven interface.
Cross-Border Access For
European Investors
The
cooperation is designed to link BOTS’ established user base in the Netherlands,
Germany and Belgium with DHF Capital’s investment offerings in Luxembourg. BOTS
provides the distribution network and customer-facing technology, while DHF
Capital contributes its securitization structures and multi-asset strategies
that combine forex, equities and precious metals.
“Joining
forces with DHF Capital allows us to offer our users greater depth and access
when it comes to high-quality investment products,” added Colin Groos, CCO of
BOTS Capital. “It’s a partnership built on trust, shared goals and the belief
that we can deliver more value to our customers by working closely together.”
Both sides
say they want to create a more unified experience for clients across regions by
integrating products and customer journeys. That includes closer alignment of
onboarding, product access and ongoing servicing, with the aim of giving BOTS
users a smoother route into portfolios constructed by DHF Capital.
In July,
the company entered
into a partnership with Tauro Markets, a UAE-based multi-asset trading
platform, as part of its efforts to expand its presence in the Middle East.
