About Jeroen Blokland

Jeroen Blokland is an investor at heart. He is a former Head of Multi-Asset at Robeco, founder of True Insights, columnist, YouTuber, and regularly appears in podcasts and other social media.

Blokland’s passion for investing is evident from the daily stream of charts he posts on his Twitter account with over a hundred thousand followers. ‘A picture is worth more than 1,000 words.’ However, it is equally important to him that he can talk about investing, share his knowledge, and actively help people become better investors. Therefore, Blokland likes to pause, beyond the hustle and bustle of the day, to discuss topics such as the importance of investing, the functioning of financial markets, risk diversification, and what it takes to make investment decisions independently.

After graduating from Erasmus University (and a tour through Australia and New Zealand), Blokland started working as an investment strategist at Interpolis in 2002. After a few years, he moved to IRIS, the independent research bureau of Rabobank and Robeco.

In 2009, Blokland became a fund manager at Robeco, where he managed various multi-asset funds and mandates. In 2019, he became Head of Multi-Asset at the Rotterdam asset management firm, where he was ultimately responsible for managing about five billion euros in assets under management.

With the desire to reach a broader audience and increase general knowledge of financial markets and macroeconomic aspects, Blokland took the leap in 2021 and founded his own company, True Insights. His company provides independent analyses of stock market developments and shows how you can easily translate these into your own investment portfolio.

Blokland’s presentations are characterized as educational, useful, and entertaining, and are simplified for every audience. The goal is to provide participants with information they can actually use. This relates to their own investments, sentiment, and valuation, but also to a greater understanding of financial markets. His presentations bridge the gap from the professional, with all the inevitable (English) jargon, to the understandable.

Expect in Jeroen Blokland’s contribution an infectious high energy level, a clear opinion, and a good dose of humor. ‘Investing is not an exact science and certainly not boring!’
