Starting Q4 2024, the WDL High Yield Fund will provide loans

Loans to rapidly growing companies in need of additional working capital and companies with a temporary dip in cash flow that have already demonstrated recovery.

Traditional financiers often require finalized annual figures before investing. This creates opportunities for our fund, allowing us to benefit from high returns without a proportional increase in risk. This fund offers loans with high interest rates, combined with origination fees, equity kickers and exit fees.

WDL Kredietfondsen manages the WDL High Yield Fund. As specialists in SME and real estate financing with decades of experience, we ensure the structuring, approval, and management of the loans.

We carefully select loan propositions from our contacts in the Dutch market. We analyze the risk, structure, and document the deal according to our investment policy. Additionally, we handle the loan administration and manage the loan throughout its term.

I was looking for high returns without excessive risks. Thanks to the diversification in the fund, the risks are well-managed!"

Bas, 47, Den Bosch

I have complete confidence in my investments in the fund. WDL is incredibly skilled and committed. True professionals who understand how to assess risks"

Annet, 59, Utrecht

The loans provided within the fund would be too risky for me on a one-on-one basis. However, due to the diversification, the risk is manageable, and I still receive a solid return."
