See the detailed value creation model for an explanation.
Van Lanschot Kempen raises financial capital, largely in the form of managed assets. It invests these assets for its clients with the objective of realising an investment return. In this way, Van Lanschot Kempen contributes directly to the preservation and accumulation of assets of its clients. Our organisation also contributes indirectly. By providing loans to homeowners or entrepreneurs, for example, Van Lanschot Kempen gives them the opportunity to build up their own assets.
Besides salaries, Van Lanschot Kempen also contributes to social premiums, pension payments, severance payments, training costs and mobility expenses.
The issuance of new shares or bonds results in the inflow of new capital. Capital providers usually receive a remuneration for their invested capital. For shareholders, this compensation may consist of price gains. In addition, they may receive dividends and/or a return of capital. For bondholders, the compensation is usually the interim price gain (or loss), in addition to the periodic coupon payment.
When clients offer assets for investment, this results in a capital outflow for Van Lanschot Kempen towards companies, governments and other institutions in which they invest. Tax payments, payments to regulators and the purchase of materials also result in a capital outflow for society.
