AFM registration
Asset-related services call for quality, integrity and professionalism. This is why we only work with independent asset managers who have a licence issued by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). If you don't yet have one, we can help you obtain your AFM licence.
Before you start, there are probably a few matters you need to consider. Did you know that aspiring managers need to have sufficient proof they can lead and manage a company? We can help answer all your questions about the required criteria and legislation. Moreover, we have an extensive network of specialists to assist you in applying for your AFM licence.
Licence applications for independent asset managers
Applying for an AFM licence can be time-consuming and expensive. We have assisted a large number of new asset managers over the years and the AFM considers us a reliable partner. You will be given a standard point of contact at InsingerGilissen Services from the start. This personal consultant does more than simply collaborate with you. He or she also helps to speed up the application process and updates you on the current status of your application. We strive to obtain your licence in under thirteen weeks.
What does an independent asset manager need?
Do you have everything you need to be an independent asset manager? It's not a question you can easily answer. You are probably aware that the AFM requires a number of criteria to be met before granting a licence (Section 2:96, Financial Supervision Act). But what does this mean for you?
The checklist below can help you discover whether you meet all these criteria.
If you've answered 'yes' to all these questions, you can submit your application to the AFM. Be aware that we can also serve as your partner in the role of custodian bank.
If you don't yet meet all these criteria, you can still contact us for advice with no strings attached.
You have enlisted the services of an independent asset manager affiliated with InsingerGilissen Services. How does that work? And who does what for you?

We administrate your assets. This means that your account – both securities and cash deposits – is held at our bank. In addition, we handle both the execution and settlement of your securities transactions when your asset manager issues us with instructions on your behalf. We also offer additional banking services, such as loans and deposits.
In addition, you will be able to view your investment portfolio in Mijn InsingerGilissen, a personalised online environment. This means you can monitor your portfolio's performance, view all credit and debit amounts, buy and sell transactions, dividends and coupons on a daily basis. The account also gives you access to your statements, buy and sell invoices, information on any margin requirements and an annual fiscal and asset overview.
How much does this cost?
Our fees are in keeping with the going market rate. Your asset manager can provide information on the fees for the individual services.
