Investing to generate extra income

This form of Portfolio Management focuses on generating income from your investments. This income consists of dividends that are paid to you throughout the year. You can use this dividend income to supplement your regular income or pension, for example. You will only receive the dividend; receiving the dividend will not be at the expense of your invested capital.

Features of this mandate

This mandate focuses on investment funds that primarily consist of high-dividend investments and on Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). The latter tracks investments from an index in the same proportions for a small fee. Pay-outs are made at regular intervals during the year. Our experts put together a portfolio for you in line within your risk profile and ABN AMRO’s investment policy consisting of the following:

Index-linked and standard investments in stocks
Investments in bonds
Other investments (e.g. real estate)
Liquid assets

Costs

Fees that you pay to us

You pay us a fee for our services, which include managing your portfolio and ongoing advice. This is an all-in fee, so you will not be charged any additional fees for withdrawing cash or changing your mandate or risk profile, for example. Moreover, no additional fees will be charged if you decide to stop using our Portfolio Management services. The exact fee you pay depends on your risk profile and ranges from 1.21% to 1.39% of your invested assets each year (these percentages include 21% VAT).

Fees that you pay to other parties

You also pay fees for the investment funds that are run by external fund managers for ABN AMRO. Some of the funds are managed by ABN AMRO, in which case ABN AMRO is the fund provider. These fees are also known as ongoing charges and are paid to managers to cover the costs of making the investments and administration costs. You do not need to pay the ongoing charges separately as they are included in the price of each investment fund.

Example calculation for dividend yields

This table gives you an overview of the dividend yields achieved in the Comfort Income Mandate over the past five years. Here you see the net dividend yields, which means that tax has already been withheld on the dividend payments.

Risk	2020	2021	2022	2023	2024
Very Defensive (as of 1/1/24)					2.29%
Defensive	1.69%	1.68%	1.57%	1.57%	2.80%
Moderately defensive	2.06%	1.93%	1.91%	1.86%	2.85%
Moderately offensive	2.55%	2.23%	2.27%	2.14%	2.85%
Offensive	3.13%	2.43%	2.75%	2.54%	3.00%
Very offensive	2.65%	1.97%	2.34%	2.39%	2.65%

Example: With an investment of € 100,000 in a moderately offensive risk profile, you would have received 2.85% in dividend payments in 2024. This equates to an amount of € 2,850.

In the example calculation, we use the in the Netherlands generally applicable dividend tax rate of 15%. This rate may be different in your situation, for example, if you receive dividend payments from foreign shares. Tax rates can also change in the future.

Result after tax, after the deduction of all costs. This concerns the results of the model portfolio, which can deviate from the returns of your personal portfolio. The value of your investments can fluctuate. Results achieved in the past offer no guarantee for the future.

What does this mandate comprise?

A broadly diversified portfolio consisting mainly of investment funds selected by our investment experts from a global range. The investment platform provides access to a wide range of investment funds and fund managers.

Equity funds
Equity funds invest in a specific region or focus on a specific type of company, such as companies with potential for growth or companies that pay a high dividend.
Bonds
You can choose to invest part of your portfolio in bonds as they have a relatively low risk. The bonds we offer have varying credit ratings and terms to maturity.
Other investments
Alternative investments, such as investments in commodities or hedge funds, often do not respond to market developments in the same way as equities and bonds. Our investment experts may therefore include these investments in your portfolio.
Liquid assets
Liquid assets are held in an account that pays interest. This account is covered by the deposit guarantee scheme.

Sustainability information

Socially responsible investing is an important principle at ABN AMRO. Some investments (such as investments in companies that produce tobacco, cluster bombs and landmines) are completely excluded from all our investment concepts.

With regard to 'tobacco', we differentiate between the production of tobacco and the sale of tobacco. ABN AMRO does not allow investments in producers of tobacco, whereas companies that ship cigarettes, and supermarkets that sell tobacco products, are not excluded.

Do you want to know how much impact you make with your investments? If you invest with ABN AMRO, you will receive an overview of the sustainable impact of your investments in your quarterly report.

Risk profiles

ABN AMRO uses 6 different risk profiles for its Portfolio Management service, ranging from a very low-risk profile (very defensive) to a very high-risk profile (very offensive). Each risk profile is associated with a specific portfolio model, which shows how we recommend you spread your investments across equities, bonds, alternative investments and liquid assets.

Once you have determined your risk profile with the guidance of your Investment Adviser, we will be able to put together an appropriate investment portfolio and immediately give you an idea of the impact on your investment returns.

Conditions and Risks

Risks

You should only invest money that you do not need and that is surplus to your buffer for unforeseen expenses. While investing can be very interesting, it also entails risk. You could lose some or all of the money you invested. This is something you need to be aware of. Only invest in investment products that you understand.

If you opt for our Portfolio Management service, you do not make any investment choices yourself. Even so, you still need to be aware of the risks associated with investing.

When you start using our Portfolio Management service, you determine your own risk profile based on advice provided by your Investment Adviser. Our experts will then take care of buying and selling your investments, in line with your risk profile.

It is also good to know that:

A specialist department checks the investment risks in your portfolio every day. The daily operational processes that are a necessary part of managing your portfolio comply with the highest European standards (ISEA 3402).
The investments in your portfolio are legally separate from ABN AMRO. They are held in your name and are therefore your property. This means that your investments will be safe in the unlikely event that ABN AMRO becomes insolvent.

Deposits and withdrawals

When you opt for Portfolio Management, you entrust the long-term management of your assets to us. You may make deposits and withdrawals at no extra charge, but this may affect whether you are able to achieve your investment objectives. Your Investment Adviser can provide you with advice about this.

Termination

You can stop using our Portfolio Management service at any time without paying any termination fees.

Statement of adverse effects on sustainability

ABN AMRO takes into account the main negative consequences of investment decisions and advice on sustainability factors. Sustainability factors include environmental, social and employment issues, respect for human rights, and the fight against corruption and bribery. We adhere to the Sustainability Risk Policy Framework of ABN AMRO Bank NV (“ABN AMRO”). The Sustainability Risk Policy Framework is partly based on the various corporate responsibility codes and on internationally recognized sustainability standards or initiatives to which ABN AMRO adheres.
