Anthos Fund & Asset Management is a specialist investment firm rooted in the heritage of the Brenninkmeijer family, originally known for the founding of C&A retail. Established nearly a century ago, Anthos was created to manage the family’s wealth, emphasizing a blend of financial stewardship with a commitment to positive social and environmental impact.
While the company operates primarily from Amsterdam, Anthos has no direct operations in Athens, Greece or the surrounding region. Other companies with similar names, such as Athos Asset Management, are based in Athens, but are entirely distinct and unrelated entities.
Anthos manages a diversified portfolio across asset classes including equities, fixed income, real estate, private equity, and alternative investments. Its approach integrates environmental, social, and governance criteria throughout the investment process. The team comprises around 50 professionals and is overseen by a board and dedicated investment officers for each asset category.
Among its projects, Anthos is notable for early investments in microfinance and for creating impact investment funds inspired by the family’s philanthropic initiatives, such as the Argidius Foundation. Recent reports published by Anthos cover climate action plans and responsible investment outcomes, showing a proactive stance on issues such as climate transition and financial inclusion. Anthos is a signatory of several international responsible investment frameworks, including those supporting climate disclosures and the Dutch Climate Agreement.
The firm’s operations remain guided by a philosophy that combines financial expertise with a mission to achieve measurable, long-term benefits for society and the environment.
