Maarten Geerdink

Maarten Geerdink is an institutional asset-management professional with roughly two decades of experience in quantitative and fundamental equity investing. He holds a Master's in Corporate Finance / Finance from the University of Amsterdam (studies spanning approximately 1995–2001). Early in his career he was a portfolio manager at Shell Asset Management Company and later a portfolio manager for quantitative equity strategies at Brevan Howard Asset Management.

He spent part of his career as a senior portfolio manager at the Belgian firm Petercam (now Degroof Petercam) — the origin of the petercam.be email address in the source stub. During that period he managed Petercam's multi-asset "Patrimonial" range; for example, after the September 2014 launch of the Petercam L Patrimonial Dynamic fund he reported a gain of around 7.7% since inception and roughly 4.5% in January 2015. He subsequently became partner and chief investment officer at Econopolis, the Belgian wealth manager founded by economist Geert Noels.

In September 2018, Geerdink joined NN Investment Partners as Head of European Equities and lead portfolio manager for systematically driven European equity strategies, leading a team of eight portfolio managers and nine fundamental analysts and data scientists managing around €4.5bn. His hire was framed around "the combination of human intelligence and technological accuracy." Following Goldman Sachs' acquisition of NN Investment Partners (completed in 2022), he is now a Managing Director and Head of European Equities within Fundamental Equity at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, based in The Hague — the firm's largest asset-management hub in Europe.

Important caveat: across all verifiable sources, Geerdink's work is in managing pooled funds investing in listed European equities, not in angel or venture investing. The "Angel Investors / Seed Round" classification in the provided stub appears to be a data-aggregator mislabeling and could not be corroborated.

• Invests in public, listed European equities through institutional fund vehicles — not private startups, seed rounds, or angel deals.
• Specializes in systematic / quantitative equity strategies, explicitly combining human fundamental research with technology and data science ("human intelligence and technological accuracy").
• At NN IP led both broad and "systematically driven" European equity strategies; at Petercam managed flexible multi-asset "Patrimonial" portfolios.
• His public market commentary has been macro-aware — e.g., as an NN IP strategist he argued corporate earnings had passed their low point, and earlier framed ECB policy as a driver of equity markets.
