ClimbPace Capital was founded in 2025 by its CIO, Gijs Hermens. With the backing of family offices and private investors, the ClimbPace Income & Growth Fund was launched as the first fund in the Netherlands specifically designed to address the clear demand for high and stable income. It combines a defensive risk profile, tax-efficient fund structure, and a high degree of liquidity.
Led by a dedicated team of seasoned investment professionals, the fund employs a fundamental, risk-focused approach to construct a compelling high yield fixed income portfolio. With deep expertise across fixed income markets, the team focuses on identifying liquid investments with attractive risk-reward characteristics. The investment approach consistently seeks to balance income generation with capital preservation. The strategy targets carefully selected, income-generating assets, including single high-yield corporate bonds and diversified pools of securitized assets – such as mortgage-backed securities, corporate loans, and other asset-backed securities.
