Points to weigh. WDL is a young and small manager outside AFM supervision. Its track record figures are published on its own website, are not audited and combine fund and direct-lending activity. Some marketing statements, such as the claim that fund investors pay no management fees, differ from the key information documents, which should be treated as the reference for costs and risks.
