The Yearn US Fund is designed to deliver strong, long-term returns with low correlation to the broader U.S. market. It achieves this by actively managing a dynamic long/short portfolio of U.S. equities, powered by proprietary algorithms that identify opportunities across all market environments.
We are proud to announce the official launch of the Yearn US Fund!
After years of development and research, our systematic hedge fund focused on U.S. equities is now live! Powered by our proprietary investment system and supported by a robust operational foundation, the fund is designed to deliver strong long-term returns. A big thank you to our partners, AssetCare, Rabobank, Interactive Brokers, DM Financial, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Automat-it & Techs, as well as our advisors, Huib Boissevain & Richard Frehé, who have supported us along the way.
EXPLAINED: The Onboarding Process of the Yearn US Fund
The Yearn US Fund officially launches next week! As a result, our first investment round has closed. We’d like to take this opportunity to explain what the onboarding process looked like for our current participants and what it will look like for future participants.
How Van Druten Capital leverages cloud infrastructure to invest smarter!
Speed, scalability, and security are critical when managing a systematic fund. That’s why we partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) as our cloud service provider to deploy our automated investment management system.

If you’ve been considering joining us, this is your final opportunity to benefit from pre-launch onboarding and direct engagement with the fund. We are looking forward to the launch on May 5th, and we’re excited to demonstrate our potential to investors!
Turning Market Turbulence into Opportunity
Since the beginning of this year, US markets have taken multiple hits, with the S&P 500 currently down 12.3%. The key driver this time? A trade war. But market shocks are nothing new. We’ve seen worse with the dot-com crash, the financial crisis, and the COVID-19 sell-off.
Van Druten Capital believes that strong investment performance starts with a solid operational foundation.
That’s why we work with trusted, experienced partners across key areas of our business. This enables us to deliver excellence across all aspects of our fund while allowing us to focus on what we do best: building and managing a systematic investment strategy designed to provide long-term value.
A successful first group demo for the Yearn US Fund
Last Friday, we welcomed a group of investors and professionals to Voorburg for an in-depth introduction to the Yearn US Fund. During the session, we explored the fund’s systematic investment strategy, discussed historical performance and the current portfolio composition, and shared perspectives on navigating today’s dynamic market.
