Van Lanschot Kempen has won the 2025 IEX Gouden Stier for Best Investment Funds and has therefore been named Fund provider of the year. This prize is awarded annually by an independent expert jury, following a pre-selection by retail investors.
 
The IEX Gouden Stier Awards are organised annually by the well-known investment platform IEX Media and are regarded as the leading independent investment awards in the Netherlands. The selection is based on the Nationaal Beleggersonderzoek, in which thousands of retail investors share their views, supplemented by an assessment from an independent expert jury. This year, 8,700 respondents gave their opinion on, among other things, brokers, private banks and asset managers. 

Alain van der Heijden, Head of Wholesale & Investment Strategies at Van Lanschot Kempen: “This Gouden Stier is a wonderful recognition of the many years of investment expertise of our fund managers. The award underlines the strength of our investment teams. With our active, long-term oriented approach, we can consistently add value for our clients across a wide range of markets.” 

Florentine Hanlo, Head of Private Client Solutions at Van Lanschot Kempen: “This award is a recognition of our client-focused investment approach. Thanks to our strong combination of deep personal relationships and many years of investment expertise, we can offer high‑quality investment solutions that match our clients’ needs. As a specialised, independent wealth manager – with a private bank and asset manager under one roof – we are close to our clients. It is a great compliment that our approach is recognised by an independent expert jury, but it is even more important to us that investors, and therefore our clients, appreciate it as well.” 

As of 31 December 2025, Van Lanschot Kempen had €159 billion in Assets under Management, of which €65.4 billion for private banking clients and €93.5 billion for institutional clients.
