Members of the Dutch alternative investment community came together for an evening of networking and food at the Hilton Skylounge on 22 May, raising EUR14,000 for children’s charities in the process.

An international crowd was in attendance, with a number of leading Dutch hedge funds, expat professionals and attendees who had flown in from overseas.
 
Guests mingled with international football star Bryan Roy and Kanaka Ghana, as well as charity founder Christiana Frimpong. Roy, former UEFA cup winner and current head of Ajax Reserve, auctioned off a unique opportunity for a sports clinic with himself and international Dutch player, Johnny Heitinga.
 
Guests also had the opportunity to bid for tickets to the highly revered Ajax stadium skybox, and participated in a lottery with prizes such as handmade cotton garments, fine wines and designer frames, amongst many others.
 
Over 120 professionals from the Dutch Financial Alternatives community supported the fundraising initiative of the Alternatives 4 Children Foundation. The foundation succeeded in raising EUR14,000 (net of costs) to support causes within the Netherlands and abroad.
 
“Being a big heart supporter of the A4C Charity since the start TMF Group is proud to be able to make a difference for those less fortunate than most of us,” says Niels Heck, managing director, TMF FundServices. “The A4C Charity gives children access to proper education and thus provides them with a kick start for their future. TMF Group is proud to be able to contribute to a more sustainable future.”
 
"Year after year we are able to bring leading influencers from the Dutch as well as global investment world. This is the ideal way to enjoy a social networking event as well as way for investment companies to behave in a socially responsible way,” says Marc de Kloe, head of alternative investments at ABN Amro and co-founder of the Alternatives 4 Children Foundation.
