About us

Pelargos Capital was founded in March 2008 as a joint venture by Richard Dingemans, Kees Rigter, Roelof Salomons, Patrick van de Laar and AEGON Nederland N.V., part of the global insurance carrier AEGON.

Pelargos combines its institutional roots, client base, and entrepreneurial business model to deliver absolute return products to professional investors.

Our entrepreneurial and fiduciary culture is paramount to the firm. Partners and portfolio managers invest their own capital alongside our clients.

Pelargos aims to be a stable and solid long-term business partner. We enjoy solid strategic backing and favor profitability through return generation. Performance as the main driver of growth aligns our clients’ interest with our own.
