Questions About How We Work.
Answered Directly.

Every question below has a specific answer. Not a general one. Rotterdam Asset MGT deploys capital across real estate, equities, oil and gas, energy infrastructure, private credit, precious metals and Schengen residency. If something about how we operate is unclear, it is answered here.

Section 01

Getting Started

Create an account using the registration form, provide your name and email address, and verify your email. Once verified, complete the identity verification step by uploading the required identification documents. When verification is confirmed, your account is active and you can deposit capital and activate an investment mandate. The process typically completes within a few hours, subject to verification processing time.
Government-issued photo identification — a national identity card, passport, or driving licence. Proof of address — a utility bill, bank statement, or official government correspondence dated within the last three months. Documents must be clear, undamaged digital copies. Documents in languages other than English may require certified translation.
Yes. Each investment plan has a defined minimum deposit threshold. The minimum is determined by the plan selected — entry-level plans are accessible at lower deposit amounts, while institutional-tier and Schengen residency programmes require a higher capital commitment consistent with the nature of the underlying placement. Minimum amounts are displayed on the Plans page before you commit.
Yes. You can run multiple investment mandates simultaneously under one account, provided each meets the relevant plan's minimum deposit requirement. Each mandate is independent — it has its own term, allocation model, return schedule and distribution timeline. Running multiple mandates does not create interdependency between them.
Section 02

How Investing Works

Your capital is deployed across one or more of Rotterdam Asset MGT's active asset classes: real estate (rental income, development margin), global equities and precious metals (long equity mandates, allocation to gold and silver), oil and gas (commodity positions and trade finance around physical cargo), energy infrastructure (solar, wind and storage assets under long-term offtake contracts), private credit and loans (development finance, business credit, bridge finance) and Schengen residency (parallel investment placement for EU residency programmes). Each asset class generates returns through a different mechanism. The allocation model for your specific mandate determines how your capital is distributed across them.
Returns are calculated based on your active mandate's capital balance and the return rate applicable to your plan. Distributions are credited to your account balance on the schedule defined in your mandate — daily, weekly or at mandate closure, depending on the plan you selected. Credited returns are available for withdrawal immediately without closing your mandate. Returns on active mandates do not compound automatically unless you selected a compounding option when activating the mandate.
The allocation model is determined by the plan you select at mandate activation. Plans are designed around different allocation strategies — some are broadly diversified across all asset classes, others concentrate in specific sectors. Within a selected plan, Rotterdam Asset MGT retains full discretion over the specific instruments, properties and positions within each asset class. You select the strategy; we execute the deployment.
The returns displayed on each plan are targets based on Rotterdam Asset MGT's current allocation model and prevailing market conditions at the time you activate the mandate. They are not guaranteed. Asset values fluctuate. Income from real estate, energy contracts and loan repayments can be affected by market conditions and counterparty performance. We do not promise outcomes we cannot control. What we commit to: disciplined deployment, asset-level due diligence, and transparent reporting on your mandate's performance.
Section 03

Deposits & Withdrawals

Log in to your account, navigate to the Deposit section, select your deposit method (bank transfer, cryptocurrency or other available payment methods), and follow the instructions. Deposits are credited to your account balance upon confirmed receipt. Bank transfers may take 1–3 business days to confirm. Cryptocurrency deposits confirm upon sufficient blockchain confirmations, typically within 1–2 hours depending on network congestion.
Capital committed to an active mandate is not available for withdrawal until the mandate's term concludes. This is because the capital is deployed in underlying assets — real estate, energy projects, loan facilities — which cannot be liquidated on demand without disrupting the investment. Returns credited to your account balance (which accumulate separately from your mandate capital) are available for withdrawal at any time, without closing the mandate.
Withdrawal requests from your available balance are reviewed and processed within the timeframe stated in your plan terms — typically between 24 and 72 hours. Cryptocurrency withdrawals are generally processed within 24 hours. Bank transfer withdrawals may take an additional 1–3 business days depending on receiving bank processing times. For withdrawals above defined threshold amounts, additional verification may be required before processing is completed.
Withdrawal fee structures are defined within your plan terms and displayed clearly before you confirm any withdrawal request. Some plans include fee-free withdrawals above a minimum withdrawal amount; others apply a percentage fee. Network fees for cryptocurrency withdrawals are charged at cost — Rotterdam Asset MGT does not mark up blockchain transaction fees. The full fee breakdown is always visible before you confirm.
Section 04

Portfolio & Performance

Your account dashboard displays all active mandates, their current status, accumulated returns to date, the next distribution date, and your full transaction history. Each mandate record shows the capital committed, the applicable return rate, the mandate term start and end dates, and a log of all distributions credited. You do not need to contact us to check your mandate status — all data is visible in the dashboard in real time.
When a mandate reaches its defined term end, the mandate is closed and the original capital is returned to your account balance. Any accrued returns not yet distributed are also credited at closure. Your capital is then available in your account balance for withdrawal or for re-investment in a new mandate. Mandates do not auto-renew — you must actively activate a new mandate to continue investing after term close.
Target returns represent the expected outcome based on Rotterdam Asset MGT's current allocation model and prevailing conditions at mandate activation. They are not guaranteed. Where market conditions cause actual performance to fall below target, returns credited will reflect actual performance — not the target rate. Rotterdam Asset MGT does not credit returns that have not been earned. Your mandate dashboard will always reflect actual credited returns, not projected ones.
Section 05

Schengen Residency Programme

Several EU member states — including Portugal, Greece and Malta — have enacted national legislation that grants residency permits to non-EU nationals who make a qualifying investment. A Schengen residence permit gives the holder the right to live, work and travel freely across the 26-country Schengen zone. This is a formal government programme established in national law, administered by state immigration authorities. It is not a visa arrangement and it is not managed by Rotterdam Asset MGT. Our role is the underlying capital placement — we structure the qualifying investment that the application requires.
The EU member states with active qualifying investment residency programmes include Portugal (Golden Visa programme), Greece (Golden Visa), Malta (Malta Permanent Residency Programme) and others. Programme availability, qualifying investment thresholds, hold periods and physical presence requirements differ by country and are subject to change by the relevant national parliament. Rotterdam Asset MGT will identify the programmes available for your target country and investment level at the time of your engagement.
No. Permit approval is the sole decision of the relevant national immigration authority. Rotterdam Asset MGT does not guarantee, imply or suggest permit outcomes. What we guarantee is that the qualifying investment is structured correctly, the documentation is prepared completely, and the application is submitted on time. Whether the permit is granted is determined by the national authority after their review of your application — that process is outside our control.
Physical presence requirements vary by country programme. Some programmes require the applicant to be present for one or more stages — typically the initial biometric registration or the permit collection appointment. Others can be managed by a legal representative with a power of attorney for most stages. Rotterdam Asset MGT works with accredited local legal practitioners in each target jurisdiction who manage in-country steps on your behalf where the programme permits.
