How to Pitch Like a Pro: From Portfolio Management to Investor Conviction

You have your strategies mapped out, your portfolio is all set up, and you are making incredible returns. But how do you convince investors that they should invest with you? Showing them just the returns is not going to work. 

What do you show them? Do you just hand them your strategy? 

Reinder Wietsma, CFA, Portfolio Manager at Centive Global Equity Fund, will guide you through this process and will teach us all the ins and outs of pitching! 

Centive Global Equity Fund is an independent Dutch investment fund focused on long-term global equity investing. Founded in 2024 and based in Amsterdam, Centive aims to outperform global markets through a disciplined, research-driven approach that combines fundamental analysis, value investing, and active portfolio management.

The fund invests in a concentrated selection of high-quality companies worldwide: businesses with strong balance sheets, durable competitive advantages, and sustainable growth prospects. Centive’s philosophy centers on rational decision-making and transparency, emphasizing clear communication with investors through regular monthly and quarterly reports.

Reinder will show us how a professional investor navigates global markets, builds conviction in portfolio decisions, and manages risk in volatile environments. Drawing from his experience leading investments at IBS Capital Allies and launching Centive, Reinder will share how fundamental analysis, value investing, and disciplined strategy come together in real-world portfolio management.

This session is perfect for students interested in asset management, equity research, or global investing.
