Singelstaete Asset Management

Six partner-level advisors — Erik Elst, Yvette Elst-Buitendijk, Steven Jansen, Jan Bouman, Jaap Schuller, and Harold van Bragt — each manage client relationships and portfolio decisions directly. The firm’s structure suggests that asset allocation and security selection are handled on an individual mandate basis rather than through a centralized investment committee. All partners are DSI-registered and bring extensive Rabobank private-banking experience.

The firm’s website describes an advisory and discretionary management model centered on individual securities portfolios. There is no mention of fund commitments, private-equity allocations, or alternative-investment structures. The investment posture appears limited to traditional long-only mandates across equities and fixed income, reflecting the partners’ private-banking heritage at Rabobank.

Singelstaete Adviesgroep was founded by Yvette Elst-Buitendijk in 2007 as a specialist advisory business for golden handshakes and stamrecht structures. The current asset-management entity, Singelstaete Vermogensbeheer, was subsequently established by Erik Elst and Yvette Elst-Buitendijk as an extension into discretionary and advisory wealth management. The two share branding and partners but operate distinct service mandates.

There is no public evidence that Singelstaete engages in co-investments or participates in external general partner capital calls. The firm’s client offering centers on personalized portfolio management rather than pooled investment structures. Its partner team has not disclosed any track record of direct-company investing or private-market co-investments.

The firm primarily serves Dutch private clients, entrepreneurs, corporate entities, and church-affiliated institutions in the Breda and West-Brabant region. This geographic concentration reflects the partners’ long tenures at Rabobank in the same region, where they built deep local advisory relationships. A secondary office in Middelburg extends coverage into Zeeland.
