FUND MANAGER

Hans van der Burg has been the investment manager of Logos Fund since its inception in October 2015. After completing his bachelor in economics and business at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, Hans followed his passion and pursued a career as a professional poker player. Contrary to what most people believe, poker is not about luck. In the short run chance influences results, but in the long run results are driven by logical thinking and evaluating risk/reward situations. Due to this inherent element of chance in poker, financial results can be volatile. This high paced environment turned out to be an ideal training ground to learn to control human emotions and remain rational among volatility and stress. The skills he developed throughout this period are elementary to his-day-to-day work as investment manager of the Logos Fund.

Despite his love for the game, Hans decided to quit poker and broaden his horizon in 2011. After obtaining his MSc in financial economics (Summa Cum Laude) at the Erasmus University in 2012, he started his professional career at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). During his time at BCG, Hans worked for several multinationals in varying industries on a broad range of topics. This period provided Hans the opportunity to further sharpen his analytical skills, while simultaneously learn the ins and outs of different business models. 

Hans started investing his own capital in 2010. He primarily focuses on the small-cap space, where he believes the most attractive investment opportunities can be found.
