Dutch mortgages strategy
The mortgage market is an essential component of the Dutch financial landscape, exceeding EUR 830 billion at the end of September 2024.1 And with strong underlying fundamentals, government support2 and generally low default rates, Dutch mortgages can represent a relatively secure asset class for investors seeking long-term income.
Investment philosophy
Dynamic Credit believes Dutch mortgage loans offer high relative value compared to other fixed income products with similar levels of risk. Leveraging its local presence, extensive expertise and proprietary mortgage lending platform (bijBouwe4), Dynamic Credit seeks to provide diversified exposure to the asset class.
Investment process
The strategy follows a disciplined six-step process:
- Investment commitment
- Marketing and distribution
- Underwriting
- Servicing
- Monitoring and fraud prevention
- Investment portfolio

Investors should consult their own professional advisors in respect of investment, legal, accounting, domicile and tax advice prior to investing in the funds in order to make an independent determination of the suitability of the consequences of an investment.

Investments are subject to market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investments in securities. The value of investments and the income they generate may go down as well as up and it is possible that investors will not recover their initial investment. There is no guarantee that the performance objective will be achieved.
Investing in emerging markets, or specialised or restricted sectors is likely to be subject to a higher-than-average volatility due to a high degree of concentration, greater uncertainty because less information is available, there is less liquidity or due to greater sensitivity to changes in market conditions (social, political and economic conditions).
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment risk: The lack of common or harmonised definitions and labels integrating ESG and sustainability criteria at EU level may result in different approaches by managers when setting ESG objectives. This also means that it may be difficult to compare strategies integrating ESG and sustainability criteria to the extent that the selection and weightings applied to select investments may be based on metrics that may share the same name but have different underlying meanings. In evaluating a security based on the ESG and sustainability criteria, the Investment Manager may also use data sources provided by external ESG research providers. Given the evolving nature of ESG, these data sources may for the time being be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. Applying responsible business conduct standards in the investment process may lead to the exclusion of securities of certain issuers. Consequently, (the Sub-Fund’s) performance may at times be better or worse than the performance of relatable funds that do not apply such standards.
This is not an exhaustive list of risks. For a complete description and definition of risks, please consult a client relationship manager or the global BNP Paribas Asset Management website: staging.bnpparibas-am.co.uk.
