Achmea splits mortgage and real estate activities of Syntrus Achmea Real Estate & Finance
As of 1 October 2024, Achmea will split the mortgage and real estate activities of Syntrus Achmea Real Estate & Finance B.V. The Dutch regulators, DNB and AFM, as well as the works council, have given their approval. This organisational change is important for the further growth of Achmea in mortgages and real estate.
The activities will be restructured as follows:
• Syntrus Achmea Hypotheekdiensten B.V. will continue its activities (origination and management of mortgages) as a subsidiary of Achmea Bank N.V. Her two subsidiaries, Achmea Hypotheken B.V. and Attens Hypotheken B.V., will therefore also be transferred to Achmea Bank.
• Achmea Mortgage Funds B.V. (trade name Achmea Mortgages) will take over the management of mortgage funds and investment portfolios from Syntrus Achmea Real Estate & Finance. Achmea Mortgage Funds will also become the manager of the Achmea Mortgage Investment Platform.
• In addition to the trade name, Achmea Real Estate will become the legal name of the real estate company, which is responsible for asset management of real estate funds and separate accounts.
Achmea Bank, Achmea Mortgage Funds and Achmea Real Estate will each have their own management board and organisational structure. Composition of the statutory boards of the abovementioned entities is as follows:
• Achmea Bank and Syntrus Achmea Hypotheekdiensten:
Pierre Huurman (CEO) and Mark Geubbels (director Finance & Risk);
• Achmea Mortgage Funds:
Hikmet Sevdican (chair statutory board) and Johan Dijkstra (director Finance);
• Achmea Real Estate:
Toon Sweens (co-chair, director Operations), Boris van der Gijp (co-chair, director Investments) and Mascha Hendrickx (director Finance).
