Quantitative Expertise: The Amsshare Journey from Articles to Action

Founded in 2023 by Sven Peter Kooi and Thomas van den Berg, Amsshare initially served as a platform for sharing insightful articles drawn from personal academic and professional experiences. Today, it has transformed into a full-service company, offering quantitative solutions in Finance and Data. We are currently finalising our Master’s in Finance, focusing on quantitative finance, and both completed the Bachelor of Business Administration at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. 

Alongside a robust academic background, Sven Peter brings three years of valuable experience from a risk management firm, where he provided data and risk solutions compliant with ECB and ESMA regulations to financial institutions, such as asset management firms. His work primarily focused on PRIIPS financial market/credit/liquidity risk modelling, performance stress testing and quantitative modelling in general. In his spare time, he enjoys working out in the gym, playing padel and squash with friends and producing music. 

Thomas also gained a solid academic foundation, including a study exchange at the Copenhagen Business School in Denmark. In addition to the academic experiences, he developed professional experience at Van Lanschot Kempen and PwC. At PwC, he mainly worked on credit risk modelling (Expected Credit Loss model) in the banking industry (IFRS 9) and the updating of automated reporting tools to align a client’s disclosure with the ECB regulations. At Van Lanschot Kempen, he worked on analysing client data to optimise the client and prospect journey, as well as on analysing client’s real estate portfolios. Outside of work, he likes to play hockey, go bouldering or go out for a run in the Vondelpark.

At Amsshare, we leverage our combined academic and professional backgrounds to deliver top-notch quantitative services. Our mission is to equip our clients with the tools and solutions they need.
