Nieuwgeluk Group
Nieuwgeluk Group was established in 2021 following the division of the Blokker family’s prior investment vehicle HB Capital. The firm manages wealth accumulated through the household-goods retailer Blokker, founded in 1896. Francis de Wit-Blokker serves as Chairman of the Advisory Board while Jeroen de Wit holds the CEO role. The firm allocates across real estate, private equity, private credit and liquid markets. Investment types include direct co-investments, SPVs, fund-of-funds commitments and secondaries. Confirmed holdings encompass the Xenos retail chain and multiple Dutch commercial and residential properties in Amsterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. Geographic reach covers Europe and North America. Co-investment partners include Nardinc and Tristan Capital Partners on the Generali real estate portfolio. Team size and total deployment remain undisclosed. The firm maintains its headquarters in Hilversum with no additional offices reported. Adjacent structures include Stichting Nieuwgeluk Philosophy, which channels philanthropic activity. Governance separates family oversight from day-to-day investment execution through an advisory board and professional management team. This structure preserves the retail-derived capital base while enabling participation in institutional-style deals alongside external GPs.
