About Mint Tower

Mint Tower Capital was founded in 2010 by four partners who chose the name in reference to the Mint Tower in Amsterdam. Customers choose Mint Tower because it offers a unique opportunity to invest in strategies which require specialist knowledge, experience and infrastructure which are generally accessible only to institutional investors. Mint Tower focuses on absolute returns, meaning a low correlation with the equity market. What most appeals to clients is the fact that the partners invest in the fund and that payment is related to performance. The partners thus have the same interests as the other participant
