fund manager

Rick Boerkamp

“In the funds where I worked, benchmarks kept limiting the strategies. So I started SproutBridge — a fund without those limits, with a combination of strategies and active risk dampening.”

Rick is highly trustworthy, discreet, businesslike and has the right expertise. Additionally, he is invested in the fund himself, which gives me confidence that he will always go the extra mile more than someone at a bank — because he also has a personal stake in it.

Milan Wielinga Managing Partner, Park 56

Investing via SproutBridge means 100% trust and alignment of interest. Investing through SproutBridge means 100% trust to me, an attractive diversification opportunity, and strong alignment of interest due to the fact that Rick himself also has a stake in the fund.
