Frans Jurgens

Prior to founding Juno Investment Partners in 2007 with Lennart, Frans (1969) had gained seventeen years of international experience in the financial world. He started his career in London in 1990, after which he moved to New York to work as a financial analyst at W.P. Stewart (‘WPS’). Subsequently, he accepted a position as portfolio manager in European Equities at Comgest in Paris. In 1995 Frans moved to Zurich, to work at Arthur Andersen. Three years later however, he returned to WPS to set up their new European office in London. Frans was responsible for the successful flagship fund, the WPS European Equity Fund.

As of 2006, Frans dedicated himself to setting up and managing a new European small and mid cap fund (Midlin) for Teslin. He left Teslin in 2007 to found Juno.
Frans has been a CFA charterholder since 1998. Next to his work for Juno, Frans is an active board member of several charitable foundations with activities in the field of ‘venture philanthrophy’.

Lennart (1978) is one of the founders of Juno Investment Partners. After his Economics studies in Groningen in the Netherlands, he started to work for Teslin Capital Management in 2005. At Teslin, he was responsible for the fundamental financial analysis of small to mid-sized Dutch listed and non-listed companies.

In early 2006, Lennart joined the team that would manage the new European Midlin fund. Here he worked closely together with Frans Jurgens. Together they shared the responsibility for the analysis and selection of the European companies in the fund. During this time it became clear that Frans and Lennart were very complementary to each other and they formed a successful team. When Lennart started thinking about setting up a new fund, it was a matter of course that he would do so together with Frans.

Lennart received his Msc in Economics from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, with a specialization in ‘Value Creation’.

After various roles in, among others, Business Management and Control and Institutional Sales, her interest was raised for the impact of laws and regulations on the financial markets during her role as Business Manager of the dealing room in New York. Since her return to the Netherlands in 2015, she has therefore devoted herself to European regulations for the financial markets, with MiFID II as the main focus area.
