Cox & Verhoeven Family Office

Cox & Verhoeven Family Office

Cox & Verhoeven Family Office was founded in 2018 in Antwerp by Kristof Verhoeven and Marc Cox, both of whom brought direct experience from the Belgian industrial and commercial real estate sectors. Their existing property platforms — including Bedrijventerrein Luitenant Coppens N.V. and De Linde Vastgoed N.V. — anchor a network that now serves multiple families. The firm operates from a single location, with no disclosed satellite offices. The firm deploys capital across private equity, real estate, and direct co-investments and SPVs, often through a fund-of-funds structure. Public records indicate an active posture in early-stage and closely-held Belgian enterprises, with Verhoeven serving as an angel investor and advisor to family businesses via networks like BAN Vlaanderen and BeAngels. While no specific portfolio-company names are publicly confirmed, related operating vehicles include Krive Adviesbeheer, Manivata B.V., and Drive 2 It, all registered in the Antwerp-Lille corridor. The geographic focus remains firmly on Belgium and the broader European region. Cox & Verhoeven operates with a deliberately quiet profile — team size, external AUM, and third-party deployment totals are not disclosed. The firm's professional footprint extends through memberships in UNIZO, the Antwerp Management School alumni network, and two Belgian angel-investor networks, creating a sourcing pipeline that leans heavily on peer referrals and structured professional guilds rather than institutional marketing. The affiliated philanthropic foundation Hout en Groen Wonen VZW further embeds the firm within its regional community, though no operational or granting figures are public. The structural differentiator is the firm's deep integration with its principals' own industrial and commercial real estate holdings, making it as much an operating platform as a traditional multi-family office. The investing families it serves co-invest alongside these operating-company roots rather than through a purely allocator model — a hybrid architecture common in the Belgian market, where private business wealth often predates formalized wealth management structures.
