- Low costs thanks to a mix of active and passive investing
- From € 50,000
What is the Comfort Income Mandate?
The Comfort Income Mandate aims to generate income from your investments. This income consists of dividends paid by all underlying funds. This allows you to supplement your income or pension with additional income every month.
Our portfolio managers distribute the income on your investments (dividend) to you. You use your capital to generate additional income, without the need to sell investments. You pay dividend tax on your distributed dividends. The Mandate is set up in such a way that you benefit from favourable Dutch tax treaties. There is of course always the risk that the dividends will be disappointing. Within this mandate, we ensure diversification by investing in various index funds and ETFs. Since fewer transactions are made, this mandate has the lowest management costs of the mandates we offer.
Investing involves risks. You can lose (a part of) your deposit.
Your asset manager takes the time to help you
Your assets are managed by a team of investment experts. Your asset specialist is in close contact with the team. Do you have a question or would you like to know how your investments are doing? Your asset specialist will gladly take the time to help you. In this way, you don’t have to worry about your investments, but always have insight and control.

Features of the Comfort Income Mandate

ETFs are investment funds that track investments from an index in the same proportions at a low cost. The payments are spread over the year. You can invest with more than € 50,000.
What does this mandate consist of?
The broadly diversified portfolio consists mainly of investment funds selected by our investment experts from a worldwide range. The investment platform provides very broad access to investment funds and fund managers.

Bonds can be chosen for part of the portfolio because of the relatively low risk. Bonds with different credit ratings and different maturities are used. - Other investments
Alternative investments often react differently to market developments than equities and bonds. That is why our investment experts have the option of including them in your portfolio. - Other investments

Sustainability information
Sustainability is important in ABN AMRO’s investment services, which is why we also apply this within the Comfort Income Mandate. We exclude investments in companies that produce controversial weapons or tobacco, as well as avoid incorporating those companies into the portfolio that attach little importance to sustainability.
We use the Morningstar Sustainability methodology for this, which gives every company a sustainability score. Morningstar is a global leader in investment fund information.
For our portfolio, we require that the average sustainability score for each fund is at least the average of comparable funds or higher. This gives you an investment portfolio that, in addition to the return, also has a view to sustainability.
