During a lottery and auction participants donated over €21.000. Since inception in 2011, Alternatives 4 Children has raised more than €500.000. “Since its start in 2011 the reach of A4C has grown tremendously. The foundation has clearly earned its marks within the Dutch hedge fund community. You don't want to miss the charity events as they are well-attended and good fun. But what’s more important A4C has successfully supported charities involved in educating our future generation through schools all around the globe, from Bangalore to Timbuktu to Amsterdam. Saemor Capital is a proud supporter of A4C.” says Sven Bouman CEO of quantitative investment management firm Saemor Capital. “Looking at what Alternatives 4 Children has achieved in its relative short existence, you can be nothing but proud. A large number of children now have better lives and education due to the efforts of a very dedicated team of volunteers. Solutional is very proud to be able to assist in the organization of A4C as well as being a sponsor for those great fundraising events of A4C. We wish A4C will continue to grow from support by the alternative funds industry and help more and more children in getting a proper level of education,” says Marco van Empel, member and on behalf of the management board of Solutional Financial Reporting.
