Amonis
Amonis was founded in 1967 as a Belgian pension and insurance specialist. Tom Mergaerts became CEO in 1999. The organization serves occupational retirement needs and provides professional liability, family, car, and fire coverage for liberal professions. The firm invests through its BEVEK structure in listed and fixed-income assets. It runs a Growth Portfolio and a Liability-Driven Investment Portfolio, both domiciled in Belgium. Geographic exposure remains concentrated in Europe with primary focus on domestic Belgian markets. Board members include Chairman Dirk Bernard and independent directors Rachel Lamock and Leen Zwaenepoel. Sumio Yoshimi represents the medical profession on the board. Amonis participates in the Medici Committee, an internal advisory body on responsible investment. The firm operates without external fund commitments and channels capital directly through its internal BEVEK vehicle. Governance ties the investment mandate to member professions rather than third-party LPs.
