Consolidated group borrowings: 1 902 M €.
How this figure is calculated
These borrowings are the consolidated group's, carried mostly by operating subsidiaries rather than by the investment company. They do not cover the same perimeter as the gross assets the chart divides, so no share is computed here: dividing one by the other would compare two different things.

Average return ; the follows below.
Method and sources
Each panel carries its own scale: lengths compare within a panel, never from one panel to the next.
A return is never converted from one currency to another: that would take the exchange rate move over the whole period, not the rate on one reporting date. The company's series are served in the issuer's currency only.
Every company covered is compared with the same benchmark, never with the index their own manager picked: a manager who picks his index also picks the bar he had to clear. This benchmark is not the MSCI ACWI itself, which belongs to MSCI and may not be redistributed. It is the median, recomputed by Opulion, of the net asset values published by three ETFs from three different managers tracking that index: iShares (IE00B6R52259), State Street SPDR (IE00B44Z5B48) and Amundi (LU1829220133). A single fund is never served on its own. Convention: last net asset value on a date at or before the reporting date, within a seven calendar day window; geometric annualisation over the nominal horizon; conversion at the European Central Bank reference rate of the day of the net asset value actually retained, a cross rate being an Opulion computation that is declared as such. The recomputation reproduces the performance each manager publishes for its own fund, to the second decimal, fifteen times out of twenty, and never departs from it by more than 0.04 point. Funds used: BlackRock, State Street and Amundi.
Converted at the reference rate of Jun 30, 2026, published by the European Central Bank.

The whole journalSIPEF targets 70,000 tonnes of bananas: what Tiabam changes for Ackermans & van Haaren
The acquisition potentially adds 12,000 to 14,000 tonnes to a business that remains small within SIPEF. More importantly, it arrives as AvH turns its long-standing stake into the foundation of a broader Food & Agri platform.
Delen opens Zurich: the small office that tells the story of AvH's big engine
Behind yet another address lies the strategy of a 78.75% stake that has become both the largest contributor to the H1 2026 results and the main cash provider for the Belgian holding company.
Behind EUR 340m of profit, a capital machine
DEME and private banking produce almost all of Ackermans & van Haaren's earnings. But they do not play the same role: Delen releases a great deal of capital, DEME reinvests it heavily. Between the two, the holding company builds up a firepower that explains its model better than any org chart.

Getting to know Ackermans & van Haaren
Each answer links to its source.
Who decides?
A chain of companies. Scaldis Invest holds 33.3 % of the capital; it is controlled by Belfimas, the reference shareholder, and at the top of the chain sits a Dutch-law foundation, "Het Torentje". Two AvH directors sit on the Belfimas board.
Source of card 1: avh.be, opens in a new tabWhat does it own?
Five poles. Marine engineering, DEME and CFE, from dredging to renewable energy, carries 1 878 M € of equity, their value on its balance sheet; private banking, Delen and Bank Van Breda, 1 806 M €. Then come real estate, tropical agriculture and growth capital.
Source of card 2: avh.be, opens in a new tabHow does it choose its investments?
It teams up with families, co-shareholders and managers, and sets strategic goals with each holding. It strives for "annual recurring growth of the results of each participation", not quick dividends.
Source of card 3: avh.be, opens in a new tabHow does it make money?
Its profit is, for the most part, its share of its holdings' results, 340 M € over the last half-year. Cash, for its part, comes up as dividends: 283 M € received over the same period, mostly paid by its two private banks, Delen and Bank Van Breda.
Source of card 4: ml-eu.globenewswire.com, opens in a new tabHow are shareholders paid?
Through a dividend, 4.60 € gross per share for the last financial year, which the company aims to grow over time. Its purchases of own shares serve a liquidity contract, which keeps the stock trading, and cover a stock option plan.
Source of card 5: avh.be, opens in a new tabWhat sets it apart
It does not publish a revalued net asset value, the market value of what it owns. It brings its holdings into its own accounts and measures itself by the growth of its equity, dividends included: 12.7 % a year on average since its stock market listing.
