In 1991, Johan began managing assets.
Johan Hemelaere developed his financial expertise in the Netherlands during the 1980s, a time when investing was still considered avant-garde. After a fifteen-year career as a sales manager in the medical sector, he chose to work voluntarily and unpaid at the renowned Amsterdam brokerage firm Stroeve, where he immersed himself in portfolio management. This invaluable experience inspired him to start his own asset management practice in 1991. Driven by his passion, Johan has been committed to lifelong learning and continuous development.

The Origin of the Name Horatius Capital Partners.
Horatius, born in Venusia on December 8, 65 BC, and deceased in Rome on November 27, 8 BC, was a renowned Roman poet. As a young man, Horatius received an exceptional education, first under his teacher Orbilius and later in Athens, where he immersed himself in Greek culture and philosophy.
After a brief military career, during which he reached the rank of staff officer, he ultimately settled in Rome as a literate man and secured a position at the treasury. Over time, managing both private and public assets became second nature to him. Horatius excelled in everything he undertook, both in his role as a civil servant and later as a full-time poet.
Horatius left behind many famous quotes and pieces of wisdom. Two of his most well-known are:
"The worries grow with the money" and "Carpe diem" (seize the day).
