Van Lanschot Kempen: net profit exceeds €98 million in 2019

Karl Guha, Chairman, said: “We’re proud of what we’ve achieved in 2019. Our net profit added €18.1 million to €98.4 million, while cost-saving measures have helped us cut operating expenses to €384.1 million and keep costs levels below the €390 million target figure we had previously issued. Our client assets surged to €102.0 billion on the back of a net inflow in assets under management (AuM) at both Asset Management and Private Banking. Our robust capital position enabled us to pay yet another capital return of €1.50 per share in December, and we have completed our strategic investment programme on schedule with the achievement of the final milestone – the migration to the new payments platform.”

In short:

Net profit staged a significant increase to €98.4 million (2018: €80.3 million), with underlying net result up to €108.8 million (2018: €103.0 million)
Operating expenses came down by 3% to €384.1 million and stayed within the target for 2019 of €390 million
Client assets grew by 26% to €102.0 billion, with AuM adding 31% to €87.7 billion on the back of €9.9 billion net inflows
CET 1 ratio increased to 23.8% (2018: 21.1%)
Dividend proposal of €1.45 per share (2018: €1.45 per share)

Kempen Real Estate Update: 2021 – No time to be passive

Despite its hugely progressive, efficient and vastly wealth creating characteristics, the modern capitalist model seems to struggle to deal effectively with externalities such as greenhouse gas “”GHG” driven pollution. These emissions are contributing to an unprecedented heating of the planet.

Kempen introduces fund focused on sustainable farmland

In cooperation with launching customer Stichting Pensioenfonds PostNL, Kempen Capital Management (Kempen) has developed the SDG Farmland Fund. This new investment solution will enable professional investors to focus on global investments in agricultural land, while at the same time providing a significant, concrete contribution to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2, 6, 12, 13, and 15*.

Kempen Capital Management (KCM) has decided the Global Small-cap Strategy has now reached the soft-close status.

The Kempen Global Small-cap Strategy has experienced significant growth in its Assets Under Management (AuM). This has caused a situation where current AuM and projected inflow are within our maximum capacity range.
