Founded by entrepreneur Rick Simons, Yieldfund emerged from a simple 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 burdened by high fees and limited trading profits.
In 2021, Rick assembled a team of experts to change that. With over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience and a passion for market innovation, he founded Yieldfund to offer a more accessible, high-performance alternative rooted in automation and capital protection.
I’ve always believed that financial freedom shouldn’t be limited to those with elite connections or advanced financial expertise. That conviction, combined with a deep-rooted passion for technology, innovation, and fair access, 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.
That imbalance is what Yieldfund sets out to correct.
Yieldfund is transforming investing for both new and seasoned investors. With Yieldfund, you don’t need to trade yourself. Instead, you benefit from the profits generated by our advanced trading algorithm, which does all the work. Yieldfund’s technology takes care of the rest, allowing retail investors to benefit from high-level quantitative trading without lifting a finger. No guesswork—just consistent, data-driven results.
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-yield investing accessible to anyone, regardless of their background or experience.
We believe that every retail investor should have the opportunity to earn a high, steady return on their investment, not just the institutions or the wealthy few. Our goal is to create a system where anyone can participate, grow their capital confidently, and achieve true financial independence.
— Rick Simons, Founder & CEO
At Yieldfund, we believe that financial freedom should not be a privilege reserved for those who have mastered 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 seize opportunities 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.
At Yieldfund, we combine transparency, reliability, and performance to deliver consistent interest payouts. All within a secure, regulated framework. Our mission is to level the financial playing field and make investing accessible for anyone, regardless of their background or experience.

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 several dozen 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 long-term.
Note: At this time, Yieldfund’s trading results have not yet been audited by an independent agency.
An official audit is scheduled for release in early Q2 2026.
03
Yieldfund lowers the entry barrier by allowing retail 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 accessible to individual investors, without overwhelming them with complexity.
04
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 Trading safety fund (currently covering of invested capital).
Short trade durations (5 minutes to 4 hours) to minimize market exposure.
This approach protects your capital even in extreme market conditions, giving investors peace of mind that their money is working within a structured and protected system.
05
Everything we do is designed to optimize interests without taking unnecessary risks. Our algorithm is continuously monitored and refined to adapt to changing market dynamics. Yieldfund’s trading strategie is structured to generate trading profit in both rising and falling markets, enabling our investors to benefit regardless of overall sentiment. We focus on measurable growth, not speculative hype.
By Q4 2026, Yieldfund aims to serve at least 1,000 retail investors across the Netherlands and Belgium, helping them diversify their portfolios through a high, steady-return investment fund.
Our mission is to make it simple for everyday investors to achieve consistent performance through an automated, risk-managed trading system that delivers institutional-grade results, without requiring any prior trading experience.
To shape a future where investing in digital markets is effortless, secure, and accessible — a world where anyone can grow their wealth responsibly through technology-driven investing.
A future where access to consistent, high-performing trading results is no longer reserved for institutions, but open to anyone seeking sustainable portfolio growth and financial independence.
Empowering individuals to take control of their financial future with confidence and clarity.
The Yieldfund team combines deep expertise in finance, trading, and compliance to deliver a platform built on transparency, security, and consistent performance. Guided by our values, we make investing accessible, reliable, and performance-driven in today’s fast-moving digital economy.
