Kempen restructures Euro Credit team

07 October 2020

Kempen Capital Management has decided to restructure its Euro Credit team, following the resignations of six of the eight members of the team. Attempts to retain them were not successful; they will continue their careers elsewhere. Kempen can rely on a very experienced workforce and is therefore able to appoint four additional people from its own ranks who will continue the strategy according to the same approach. Alain van der Heijden, Head of the team, and Harold van Acht, Senior Portfolio Manager, will remain at Kempen and retain their current responsibilities. Alain and Harold are the founding fathers of the strategy and the only seniors who have been in the team since inception in 2008.

Kempen has informed clients in the strategy. Lars Dijkstra, CIO of Kempen: ‘I am confident that clients will continue to be satisfied with our performance in the future. Our alpha-by-control investment strategy and the very disciplined investment process are the cornerstones of the successful performance track record we have been able to realize over the past 12 years. Of course, we wish the six colleagues that are leaving success in their careers and thank them for their contribution in recent years'.
