Investment Strategy and Market Analysis by Jeroen Blokland
Jeroen Blokland is a Dutch fund manager and the founder of the Blokland Smart Multi-Asset Fund, which integrates equities, gold, and Bitcoin into a single portfolio strategy. Earlier in his career, he managed multi-asset portfolios at Robeco, overseeing more than €5 billion in client assets. His investment philosophy is built on a Macro – Sentiment – Valuation framework, which combines long-term macroeconomic views with short-term market sentiment indicators. The Blokland fund, launched in 2023, reported favorable early returns, partly driven by its allocation to scarce assets like gold and Bitcoin.
Blokland is a frequent commentator in Dutch and international financial media, with interviews and analyses published in outlets reaching audiences of hundreds of thousands. He regularly publishes research on inflation hedges and asset diversification, and his perspectives on Bitcoin’s role in institutional portfolios have been cited in leading European financial platforms. With more than two decades of investment experience, Blokland remains an influential voice in shaping how traditional and digital assets coexist in balanced portfolios.
