Roel Hoekstra’s Summary

Executive with Finance, Sales and Marketing and General Management experience in the Insurance, Management Consulting and Financial Services industries.

Current focus is on growing our profitable, private finance company that specializes in lending against publically traded stock and stock portfolios. Our programs allow you to borrow against the value of your publicly traded securities without the risk of a margin call. High LTV (us to 85%), non-recourse loan structure.

You get to use the value tied up in your stocks without selling, keep the upside stock appreciation and minimize the downside risk.

We are also launching a new limited partnership (hedge fund) to raise additional capital to support lending operations. This is an over collateralized, liquid lending operation that is highly profitable.
