Van Lanschot Kempen trading update third quarter 2019

31 October 2019

Van Lanschot Kempen today released its trading update for the third quarter of 2019.

Constant Korthout, Van Lanschot Kempen’s Chief Financial & Risk Officer, said: “Our third-quarter result is similar to our performance in the first two quarters of the year if we exclude book profits. Interest income was relatively stable in the third quarter, but we expect falling market rates to put greater pressure on interest income going forward. We’re on track to stay within our target cost range of around €390 million net in 2019.

In short:

Quarterly results in line with first two quarters of the year (excluding book profits)
Client assets add 4% to €101.1 billion and AuM 5% to €86.6 billion
Net AuM inflow of €0.8 billion at Asset Management and Private Banking
Fully loaded CET1 ratio (excluding retained earnings) of 22.0%
DNB intends to introduce a minimum floor for risk weights of mortgage loans in the autumn of 2020. First estimates suggest that the proposed measure will increase RWA by 10-12%

Asset Allocation Outlook October

Last month we referred to the market wisdom that says there’s no point in investors coming back until September. This year it would certainly have been the wrong time to do so. Not only would investors have missed out on the gains of August, they’d have to digest a loss in September on top of that. At nearly 4%, the biggest loss was in the US. Europe and emerging markets noted a loss of about 2%, while Japan displayed a tiny plus of 0.5%.

Dividend Update: How uncertainty has led to an unprecedented opportunity for investors

Most investors have heard of America’s famed “FAANG” stocks – Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google. Replace Netflix with Microsoft and we have by far the five biggest stocks in the S&P 500. In fact, they make up over 20% of that index – well above the 18% that the then-five-biggest stocks accounted for at the peak of the dot-com bubble back in 2000.
But what’s less well known is that Europe has its own version of the FAANG stocks – what Goldman Sachs has labelled the GRANOLAS, and are the 11 biggest stocks in Europe. They’re made up of Glaxosmithkline, Roche, ASML, Nestlé, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, L’Oréal, LVMH, AstraZeneca, SAP and Sanofi.
