The activities will be continued in a new investment boutique under the name: Primevest Capital Partners. Primevest Capital Partners has acquired all activities in parking, the German communication infrastructure activities and two mandates in residential (affordable contemporary living). “With the establishment of Primevest Capital Partners we are able to continue our high quality investment management services with our dedicated specialized teams that our clients are accustomed to,” says Managing Partner Bart Pierik at Primevest Capital Partners. “In recent years we have strengthened our leading position as car park investment manager, expanded our residential activities for key clients and launched a new fund in communication infrastructure, being the first investment manager to offer German institutional investors the opportunity to invest long-term in passive communication infrastructure assets. We see a growing interest from institutional clients for our innovative real asset investment strategies to further grow our assets under management,” continues Bart Pierik.
Primevest CP will employ 30 professionals who will serve its institutional clients from local offices in Utrecht, the Netherlands and Berlin, Germany. Primevest Capital Partners will be led by former Bouwfonds IM employees Bart Pierik (Managing Partner), Ruud Roosen (Parking), Hans-Peter Renk (Residential), Bas van Dongen (Communication Infrastructure) and former CFO of Foruminvest B.V., Walter Kuppens (Finance & Risk).

The activities of Primevest Capital Partners match this demand and we have confidence that the management can successfully grow the existing activities of Primevest Capital Partners in the coming years,” explains Leo Derksen, co-founder of CommonWealth Investments B.V.
