Let’s get acquainted

Benkey was founded in 2020 in response to demand from existing investors for real estate investments from our founder Rory Bertram. Initially, this was done through a crowdfunding platform to connect investors with real estate professionals.

In 2023, we deliberately made the next step from crowdfunding to investment funds and private deals. This allowed us to better realize our Finance Boutique philosophy—personal, small-scale, and specialist-focused—and enabled our investors not only to provide financing but also to participate in real estate projects. In August 2024, we launched our first real estate fund. In October 2025, we submitted our AIFMD license application to the Autoriteit Financiële Markten, and in November we surpassed €100 million in Assets Under Management (AUM), or managed assets, within the fund.

The Benkey Vastgoedfonds is available to investors who want to benefit from indirect ownership in commercial real estate without the burden of day-to-day management. As a participant, you become a co-owner of a broadly diversified portfolio of commercial real estate in the Netherlands, with a current size of more than €150 million.

The Benkey Vastgoedfonds is an FGR (fund for joint account), tax transparent, and has an open-ended fund structure (“transparent fund”), which provides flexibility. Every six weeks, investors have the opportunity to enter or exit the fund.

The fund focuses on solid commercial assets within the value-add, core, and core+ categories. We select properties with reliable tenants that immediately generate stable cash flow. Through careful selection and professional real estate management, we build a portfolio in which value creation and risk diversification are central.

After your investment and once the funds have been processed on the real estate fund’s trading day, your investment will be immediately visible in your personal account on the Benkey Portaal. From your account, you can complete the onboarding process, submit the required documents, track price developments, and automatically receive fund reports and annual statements for tax filings.

Through the portal, you can also submit your desired buy and sell orders and indicate whether (additional) distributions should be paid out or whether you prefer not to use this option.

The Benkey Portaal is directly accessible via this link, and creating an account is completely non-binding. The portal is also available as a smartphone app via the Apple and Google Play Store—convenient for on the go.
