If you have a credit facility with the bank you must pay interest. This interest is a compensation for granting you a credit facility and using our balance sheet (capital costs). The interest consists of the following components: 1. funding cost and 2. margin. In case of non-EUR fixed term loans FX forward points are added.

1. Funding cost consists of the market rate and liquidity cost. The market rate is what the bank pays for a loan on the money- and/or capital markets. Liquidity cost are the additional cost the bank must pay above the market rate. The level of funding cost is dependent on for example the developments on capital markets, how long the interest is fixed and the credit rating of the bank.
2. The margin is the spread the bank adds to the funding cost.

The interest rate on your loan can vary and is dependent on how the market is developing, but also how central banks behave. Changing or new rules and regulation can also be of influence on the interest you pay on your loan. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call your International Wealth Manager.

Van Lanschot Kempen has been in business since 1737. Our longstanding experience serves as a guide in the way we aim to preserve and generate wealth in a sustainable manner to the benefit of our clients and broader society as underpinned by the following tenets:

• Sustainable societies are a necessity to realize our mission of preserving and creating wealth for the long term.

• Through the preservation and creation of wealth in a sustainable manner, we can contribute to creating and maintaining such sustainable societies.

• Sustainability is also relevant for our clients as the wealth that we build or preserve for them today, will only retain its real value in a sustainable future world.

It is for these three reasons that we – as a sustainable wealth manager – embed sustainability risks and opportunities as much as we can in everything we do.

Greater transparency on sustainable investments

• The EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU 2018/0178, Taxonomy Regulation) is about introducing harmonized criteria to determine whether an economic activity is environmentally sustainable. The goal is for investors to better understand the degree and proportion of environmental sustainability in their investments. The Taxonomy Regulation will partly enter into effect as of 1 January 2022.

• The EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (EU 2019/2088SFDR) on the other hand is set up to provide better transparency on sustainability risk, adverse sustainability impacts and other sustainability-related information to end clients of financial intermediaries. The SFDR entered into force on 10 March 2021.

Van Lanschot Kempen, acting as a financial market participant and as a financial advisor, and its legal entities Kempen Capital Management and Van Lanschot Kempen Wealth Management are subject to this regulation.

Our approach

On the corporate Van Lanschot Kempen website we describe our approach as required by articles 3 through 6 of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (EU 2019/2088 SFDR). The website is updated periodically, along with new and upcoming legal requirements for SFDR and EU Taxonomy Regulation.
