About

Yieldfund

Our origin

Founded by entrepreneur Rick Simons, Yieldfund emerged from a frustration: why do only institutions have access to the tools and strategies that outperform the market? While firms like Citadel and Renaissance Technologies profit from advanced algorithmic trading, retail investors are often left behind with manual strategies or opaque funds with high fees and limited returns.

In 2021, Rick brought together a team of experts to change that. With over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience and a passion for market innovation, Yieldfund was born to offer a more accessible, high-performance alternative rooted in automation and capital protection.

Founder story

From dream to reality

I’ve always believed that financial freedom shouldn’t be limited to those with elite connections or advanced financial expertise. That belief combined with a deep-rooted passion for technology, innovation, and fair access, is what ultimately led me to create Yieldfund.

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve built and scaled multiple businesses across various industries. Yet throughout my entrepreneurial journey, one recurring frustration stood out: the most profitable trading strategies, those used by hedge funds and institutional players, were entirely out of reach for private investors.

These high-performing, algorithmic approaches were locked behind closed doors, accessible only to those managing millions. Meanwhile, individual investors were left with outdated models, unpredictable returns, and minimal control over their financial future.

That imbalance is what Yieldfund set out to correct.

At Yieldfund, we offer more than just an investment solution, we offer access. Access to professionally designed, fully automated trading strategies that have traditionally been reserved for institutions. Our model is designed for simplicity and consistency.

Behind this straightforward structure lies a powerful system: real-time market algorithms, dynamic risk controls, and a transparent, security-first environment. Everything we build at Yieldfund is grounded in our five core values: transparency, reliability, accessibility, security, and performance.

This company is not just a business to me—it’s a mission. A mission to level the financial playing field and make intelligent, high-return investing accessible to anyone, regardless of their background or experience.

Making institutional investing accessible to everyone

At Yieldfund, we believe financial freedom should not be a privilege reserved for those who master complex financial markets. Instead, it should be accessible to anyone who wants their capital to grow in a structured and secure way.

That’s why we’ve chosen to operate as a quantitative trading company. Unlike traditional investment firms that rely heavily on long-term buy-and-hold strategies, exposing investors to prolonged market cycles and volatility, we actively manage risk and opportunity through short-term, algorithm-driven trades. This approach allows us to generate consistent performance, regardless of broader market trends.

By continuously adapting to market dynamics and avoiding prolonged exposure to asset fluctuations, we can offer a more stable and predictable return model—making advanced trading strategies available to everyday capital allocators without the need for financial expertise.

Yieldfund institutional investing available for retail investors

Our Values

At Yieldfund, we combine transparency, reliability, and performance to deliver consistent returns — all within a secure, regulated framework. Our mission is to make investing accessible and safe to everyone.

01

Transparency

At Yieldfund, we believe that trust starts with openness. That’s why we provide investors with full visibility into our trading performance, payout success rate, risk management structure, and the current coverage ratio of our Warranty Fund. Weekly performance reports are publicly available, and investors have access to their individual dashboards, including contract details and payout history. There are no hidden fees, no fine print, only clear data and honest communication at every step.

 

02

Reliability

Consistency is key to long-term success. Yieldfund offers fixed-interest investment plans with weekly payouts and a 100% capital return at the end of each term. Our automated trading strategies execute 50-100 trades per day, reducing emotional bias and improving accuracy. With over 93% of trades closed at a profit in 2024 and a +148% yearly result, we’ve proven our model delivers week after week.

03

Accessibility

High-yield strategies shouldn’t be limited to hedge funds and institutions. Yieldfund lowers the entry barrier by allowing private investors to start with just €10,000, with no need for trading knowledge or market timing. Everything is fully automated. Our goal is to make institutional-grade investing understandable and available to individuals, without overwhelming them with complexity.

04

Security

Capital preservation is at the heart of what we do. Yieldfund employs a triple-layered risk framework:

  • Dynamic risk management that adjusts exposure based on real-time volatility;

  • A growing Warranty Fund (currently covering  of invested capital);

  • Short trade durations (5 seconds up to 15 minutes) to minimize market exposure.

    This approach protects your capital even in extreme market conditions, giving investors peace of mind that their money is working under a structured and protected system

05

Performance-Driven

Everything we do is designed to optimize returns without taking unnecessary risks. Our algorithm is continuously monitored and refined to adapt to changing market dynamics. Yieldfund’s trading strategies are structured to generate profits in both rising and falling markets, enabling our investors to benefit regardless of overall sentiment. We focus on measurable growth, not speculative hype.

Our mission

By Q4 2026, Yieldfund aims to provide at least 500 retail investors across Europe with automated access to institutional-grade trading strategies, delivering average monthly returns of up to 5%, through a transparent, risk-managed algorithm that requires no prior trading experience.

Our vision

To shape a future where investing in digital markets is effortless, secure, and accessible. A world in which anyone can grow their wealth responsibly through technology-driven investing.
