Wolkers & Co.

Wolkers & Co.

Wolkers & Co. was founded in 2005 by Rick Wolkers as the fiduciary asset-management arm of the Masman Bosman group, a tax and financial advisory practice based in The Hague. The structure brings legal, tax, and investment disciplines under one roof for a concentrated client base of Dutch entrepreneurial families, with partner-level generalists — including Paul Kreukniet on the advisory side and Nathalie Flinterman on tax — managing integrated mandates rather than siloed service lines. The firm pursues a broad investment posture that blends liquid and illiquid assets. Confirmed strategy components include direct co-investments and SPVs, real estate, private equity, hedge funds, and secondaries, with explicit coverage across Europe, North America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Asia. The partnership has disclosed target sectors such as InsurTech, FinTech, and LegalTech, though individual portfolio-company names have not been publicly reported. The six named partners operate from a single office at Dr. Lelykade 10B in The Hague. Alongside the investment book, Wolkers & Co. has historically been associated with philanthropic structures — notably the Bird Song Trust (Stichting Vogelgezang), which counts former Goldman Sachs partner and IMC CEO Wiet Pot among its donors. The firm is regulated by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets and participates in the Dutch Securities Institute’s professional-integrity framework. The practice is unusual in housing tax advice and fiduciary investing inside the same legal entity; most continental European multi-family offices contract advisory functions separately. This integrated construct means a single partner team handles structuring, compliance, and portfolio construction, a governance model that concentrates decision-making but eliminates coordination gaps between external tax counsel and the CIO desk.
