(SeaPRwire) – The London-based investment firm applies its long-term thinking philosophy beyond financial markets, upholding a tradition of community visits in the cities where it conducts operations
Amsterdam, Netherlands – May 22, 2026 – EC Assets, a London-headquartered global investment firm focused on alternative assets and systematic strategies, commemorated this year’s Koningsdag (the Dutch national holiday on April 27) with a low-key morning visit to De Makroon, a care facility located on Nieuwe Passeerdersstraat in central Amsterdam. As the city celebrated King Willem-Alexander’s birthday with a sea of orange across its canals and streets, EC Assets opted for a more serene morning activity.
The visit, which featured a small token of sweets for residents and the caregiving team working during the national holiday, embodies a tradition the firm upholds in the cities it operates in. Whenever EC Assets deploys capital, meets with investors, or carries out business activities, it aims to establish a presence that— in its own terms— “has nothing to do with markets,” prioritizing consistent, understated interactions over large-scale branded campaigns or one-off corporate donations.
In its published recap of the morning, EC Assets highlighted that what stuck with the firm wasn’t the residents’ warm responses, but the staff: “Care workers don’t get time off for national holidays. While the rest of the city was dancing on boats, they were doing what they always do— being there for those who can no longer join in. Quiet, patient, present.”
This visit aligns with EC Assets’ view of a direct link between its investment philosophy and its community engagement choices. The firm has long stressed that long-term thinking— the type of value creation that builds over years and decades— is core to its approach to capital. In its post-visit statement, EC Assets drew a comparison between this philosophy and long-term care work: “Those who care for the elderly are engaged in the most long-term work possible. They dedicate time to individuals whose own time is limited. And they do this even on holidays.”
The Amsterdam visit is part of a larger series of small-scale, locally oriented community initiatives that EC Assets pursues alongside its core investment operations. The firm hasn’t shared plans for similar visits in other markets, but its published statement clarified that this practice is deliberate: “We aim to do this in every city where we conduct business.”
