Exactly one year ago, crypto experts Viennie Ramlal, Renske de Bruine and Joël Happé launched Mahler Capital: a cryptocurrency investment fund dedicated to generating superior returns for its investors through an actively managed crypto portfolio. The three first met via investment trade shows and have been building their fund ever since. Now that everything is up and fully running, they are looking to get the word out. Here, they share more about their own backgrounds and the vision driving Mahler Capital.
Origins of Mahler Capital
Back as a communication student, Joël had been doing a lot of work with technology: “I read something about bitcoin and efforts to create a digital currency without an intermediary getting in between”, Joël recalls. “Eventually, this personal interest grew into a serious activity.” At an investment trade show in 2015, Joël got acquainted with Viennie, whose stepfather was one the biggest crypto miners at the time. The two met Renske at another trade show in 2022. “With my background in digital entrepreneurship, crypto caught my interest straightaway”, Renske says. “Joël and Viennie told me they were making returns of +21 per cent, even in a falling market. After investing in their strategy, this convinced me to partner with them.” In September 2023, the trio officially launched as Mahler Capital, with the aim to build a solid foundation and a bright future for the crypto market.
Building awareness and trust in crypto
Mahler Capital has a clear mission: to raise awareness about the opportunities and benefits of investing in crypto. “We believe crypto can be an excellent investment for everyone”, Joël explains. Their unique strategy has enabled them to generate good returns even through difficult market conditions. “Both private and corporate clients can invest with us starting from 100,000 euros.” While so far most clients have come through their network, Mahler Capital is looking to raise its profile, Renske says. “On 11 July we are hosting an in-person event to inform people and give them a chance to get to know us personally.”
Regulations and returns
With its AFM-registered fund, Mahler Capital offers clients trust and accessibility. “We have been independently rated as one of the best crypto companies”, Viennie notes. At the moment, there is a growing push within the crypto market towards regulation. “There are two sides to regulation”, Viennie sums up. “Though it undermines the original vision behind crypto, MiCA regulation will provide for a more mature and safer market.”
