The AFM notification, explained
How it is set up
Notified to the AFM
Yieldfund operates through the legal entities frontpay capital B.V. and frontpay management B.V. Frontpay management B.V. has submitted an official notification to the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). Frontpay management B.V. is not under AFM supervision and does not require a licence.
Frontpay management B.V. is therefore not listed in the public AFM register: the company falls under the legal exemption from the licence and prospectus requirements and only needs to notify the AFM of the issuance. This exemption follows from the European Prospectus Regulation and Dutch financial law.

Bond series
Why is no licence or prospectus required?
Yieldfund issues bonds in separate series. Each series stays within the legal exemption thresholds — which is why a notification to the AFM suffices.
Active series
Series A2
For investments from €10,000 up to €100,000
These bonds are issued between 24 June 2026 and 24 June 2027. Each bond has a nominal value of €1,000.

Active series
Series B1

The difference
Not who invests, but under what conditions
Traditional providers often do fall under a licence or prospectus requirement. That is usually due to one or more of these characteristics:
Raising more than €5 million within 12 months
No minimum investment of €100,000 and no use of legal exemptions
Offering shares, participations or fund structures subject to additional rules
Making a public offer without clear limits, for example without a cap or end date
Yieldfund takes a different, legally permitted route: issuing bonds within the thresholds of the prospectus exemption. That comes with an honest trade-off: less supervision, in exchange for a more direct and simpler structure. Every investor should know this before deciding.
