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%

Private Markets Investor Letter

The third quarter was a special quarter for the Private Markets Fund for three reasons: The barrier of EUR 100 million has been broken. A total of EUR 103 million of capital has now been committed by clients. Based on the pledged capital, we have been able to build up a widely diversified portfolio of which 69% has already been invested. We achieved a positive investment result of 3.7% in the third quarter; the fund is still under construction, but we are seeing a clear increase in revaluations and distributions that contribute positively to the result. The third quarter was also a particularly active period for the fund, with three new partnerships added to the portfolio. Our current partners were also fully active and concluded various transactions that we will further elaborate on in this report.
