This is what I currently think. I wonder whether I still agree a few years down the road
About Me
- Name: Ruben Smit
- Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
I was born in the heart of the great yet also small cosmopolitan city of Amsterdam in 1971, the year Ajax won its first Europa Cup 1 and John Lennon wrote Imagine and Jealous Guy. I spent one year in college in the US of A (in Galesburg, Illinois 61401) at a truly nice liberal arts college: Knox. My real education was however at the 'red' University of Amsterdam and at my fraternity HEBE; (it stands for excelling in the honest and the good), which supposedly was full of boys reading really important and voluminous books. As if. Married to a real red haired psychologist and proud father of a little girl that will be red as well! After my studies a worked at ING for 10 years before ending up at SNS Asset Management, the biggest socially responsible / ethical investment company in the Netherlands as Portfolio Manager Fixed Income (Financials) and member of the Investment Committee for the SNS Institutional Microfinance Funds. I spent several years editing the party monthly for the Amsterdam section of the Dutch Liberal Party (VVD)was the secretary to the national economics, finance & small and medium-sized enterprise advisory board of the same Liberal Party.
