Job Verheijen -
Data Analyst
Fund Manager
Fund Developer
From a young age, I developed a passion for investing. At 15, I created my first “paper” stock portfolio, getting familiar with the teachings of legends like Warren Buffet and Benjamin Graham. This all accelerated in 2017 when I stumbled upon the Bitcoin whitepaper. From that moment my future was clear, I would find my succes in crypto fund management.

Diversity
Ability to work across multiple areas, effectively balancing focus between priorities.
Efficiency
Focus on the path of greatest value creation, considering choices including opportunity costs, to identify the most efficient approach.
Eager to learn
Ability to assess new skills and prioritize those that bring the most value to my work and personal life.
Creating a win-win
I developed this skill during my law studies, recognizing that many conflicts are better resolved outside the courtroom. Therefore I always look for mutually beneficial win-win solutions.
Education
Completed
University
(2019-2024) I completed two bachelor’s degrees in Law and in Economics, managing two challenging programs at the same time. Alongside my studies, I worked part-time at Topfund, where I directly applied what I was learning.
Extracurricular
(2022) Participated in a two week course focussed on Blockchains and DLT technologies in Lugano. Achieved 2nd place in the pitch competition due to the use of blockchain qualities to circumvent legal boundries.
Planned
Data Science
Data Science for Investment Professionals Certificate. Aiming to enlarge my knowledge of how to use digital tools to drive investment decisions.
Financial Advisor
Aiming to pass local (Dutch) exams to be qualified as a financial investment advisor. Being able to legally advise potential clients, and learn to professionally write advices.
This crypto project began with friends seeking my help after falling victim to scam crypto investments. After giving them some advice, they suggested I could just manage their funds instead. I took on the challenge, applying a risk-averse, blockchain-first methodology that has (so far) maintained a perfect record against hacks, scams, or exploits. Over time, this grew into a more professionally managed private service, complete with a personal-dashboard and regular updates.
I was tasked with exploring opportunities in the evolving carbon emission rights markets. This involved researching investment options, identifying platforms like Interactive Brokers for market exposure and developing strategies to diversify across systems and assets. Our investment approach is guided by EU/ARB policies and driven by aggregate third-party forecasts of market scarcity and demand.
After completing the CO2 fund, I conducted marketing research to explore opportunities for offering our alternative fund management services. I discovered that our three strategies, uncorrelated with traditional markets or each other, presented distinct risk and growth profiles. This made them an ideal mix for an alternative ‘index’ fund, especially if we actively manage fund distributions based on market sentiment.
Additionally, this approach simplifies capital acquisition for the CO2- and Crypto funds.
In 2024, I took the initiative to overhaul the Crypto Fund at Topfund that started in 2022, revamping both its management system and strategy. I aligned the strategy with ‘The Paradigm Shift’ and transitioned the management system to Amdax, which allowed for seamless staking while ensuring that investor ownership of coins remained secure, even in the event of bankruptcy. As a contingency, I onboarded the fund to Phemex for future automated trading strategies using their integrated API, achieving a balance between flexibility, safety, and liquidity.

Website Projects
Topfund Data Dashboard
Showing fund strategies in a visual way
Tasked with creating an easier insight in our fund performances for internal or external use, I opted to collect daily NAV records to then visualize this in several graphs and indicators using a web dashboard. This page automatically updates based on one excel sheet. This project was led by me and created with the help of our software engineer.
I developed a custom website featuring investor accounts with insights in their personal holdings, also adding blog and a guides page to help people safely start their crypto journey.
Use the test login to review the investor dashboard.
Creating a website to offer training courses for individuals and businesses. Designed for efficient repeated use featuring automated booking & payment systems.
