s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, 2 October 2017
Van Lanschot Kempen's platform for trading in unlisted companies and employee
ownership services will strike out on its own under the name of Captin from 1
October 2017. The move offers Captin room to develop and fits with Van Lanschot
Kempen's strategy to focus on its core activities.
Captin offers a platform to trade in unlisted companies seeking to give
investors an opportunity to take a stake in their equity. In addition to its
trading platform, Captin provides tailored solutions in employee ownership.
Van Lanschot Kempen will remain involved with Captin by providing trading
facilities and accounts for Captin clients.
Richard Bruens, Member of the Van Lanschot Kempen Executive Board and Managing
Director of Van Lanschot Private Banking, said: "We wish Captin every success as
a stand-alone company. I'm confident that it will truly come into its own when
able to set its own course in the highly specialist niche market in which it
operates."
Joost Roosen, Managing Director of Captin, comments: "This step should help us
provide an even better service to our clients. Having grown into a fully fledged
trading platform as part of Van Lanschot Kempen, we're ready for the next stage
and should now have more focus, greater agility and flexibility as a stand-alone
company. Building on our many years of experience, we'll be able to expand our
specialist service offering to clients and will increasingly look to introduce
smart fintech solutions."
Only Dutch player with MTF licence
Captin is the Netherlands' only trading platform licensed to operate as a
multilateral trading facility (MTF), offering clients the opportunity to invest
in unlisted companies and funds. Companies can use the platform to gain access
to potential investors without first needing a listing on a regulated market.
Captin provides liquidity through its trading platform and carries out the
operational management of quotations.
Euronext and crowdfunding
The Captin platform claims a market position between Euronext's trading
possibilities and crowdfunding issues. A key advantage over crowdfunding is that
investments are and will continue to be tradable.
Continuity
Continuity of service to clients is guaranteed by the transfer to Captin of the
platform's 12-strong team, headed up by Managing Directors Joost Roosen and Bart
van den Berk.
