IBF license. What do you need to know?
As the industry is shifting to a regulated and more transparent environment, we are beyond excited to announce that VIAINVEST is becoming a regulated ember of the finance market by acquiring the investment brokerage firm (IBF) license.
A new generation of investment products
Besides the stability offered by combining multiple loans into one, asset-backed securities represent a safer and more predictable outcome, as much like a typical bond, the income (interest) is realized at a fixed rate for a set amount of time until they mature. This allows investors to invest in a variety of income-producing assets without taking on the associated risks with a single-source loan.
Maturity term of single loans compared to asset-backed securities.
- Asset-backed security repayment schedules remain similar to single loans.
- Securities are still linked to the cash flow of consumer loans but not fully linked to their term.
- When borrower repays the loan, the investor receives full principal repayment and interest before the security’s maturity.
- A borrower may extend the loan, but the security’s final maturity cannot be extended.
Investing and withholding tax explained.
VIAINVEST is legally required to deduct the withholding tax from private investors’ interest income earned from investing in asset-backed securities. The current standard withholding tax rate is 20% of the interest income earned, however, this rate can be reduced down to 0% if any tax treaties are concluded between countries. Please note that withholding tax is applied only to the interest portion of the revenue, while principal repayments are not taxed. Read below to learn how to benefit from the reduced rates.

*Two component compensation model: interest of 8% p.a. on monthly basis plus interest paid at maturity of the agreement, providing investor with yield to maturity range from 8% to 12% p.a. Interest paid at maturity derives from project Capitalization Rate and Real Estate sales price as follows:
Calculation example:
| Capitalization Rate | Sales price | Yield to maturity |
|---|---|---|
| 5,75% | < 38 093 071 € | 8% |
| 5,25% | 38 093 071 € - 41 720 983 € | 10% |
| 4,75% | 46 112 665 € < | 12% |
Capitalization rate indicates the expected rate of return an investor is likely to achieve on an investment property. The rate is calculated by dividing net annual operating income by the value of the property and multiplied by 100 to get the percentage.
