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 Update: Corona chaos

Having started in China, the new coronavirus has been spreading to more and more countries recently. In our monthly Asset Allocation update of February, we discussed the damage of the coronavirus to the Chinese and other Asian economies. In any case, as far as growth perspectives are concerned, the first quarter of 2020 can be considered ‘lost’, with China presumably showing economic contraction compared to the last quarter of 2019 and the worldwide growth momentum being cut in half. Increasing numbers of companies are reporting out-of-stock issues and production delays.

Kempen's Commentary

A central bank should make its own decisions and nobody should interfere, certainly not politics. President Donald Trump calling Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell “clueless” and the Fed “the problem” is unprecedented, right?
